partner got an ev and oakland has like 9 fast chargers, ccs and nacs combined, all with a line. california keeps pitching evs as the climate fix while underfunding transit, but like... also underfunding ev infrastructure

So the zero-knowledge proof implementation Google used for their proof of quantum circuit had some bugs and Keegan Ryan + team were able to create a "proof" of an even more efficient quantum circuit (0 Toffoli gates).

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

yiddish words are always so fun. til glitch comes from glitsh, yiddish for slippery place, and from glitshn, meaning to slide or glide. first popularized in us english in the 40s by radio announcers to indicate an on-air mistake, tv engineers in 50s began using it to refer to technical problems.

The fact that naval warfare exists will not diminish my love of the ocean. Nor will the words "space force" diminish my love for the stars.

I have fought capitalism here on earth, and I will fight it on the moon if I have to, but by god I will not stop reaching for the stars.

The other infuriating part being of course the presupposition that there’s something worth exerting leverage for. Nope the US can and should just fuck off forever at the cost only of its further degraded reputation and the invaluable lives taken in Iran.

What’s much worse than when one of these indistinguishable-from-a-bot accounts do it is when the mainstream media outlets do. So many headlines like “Trump gives up leverage for nothing”… actually that’s the thing we want him to do when the leverage is war crimes.

ML-KEM is the standardized Kyber-based KEM :) It's possible you were thinking of numbers you've seen showing increased compute associated with hybrid KEMs that do both Kyber and ECDH. Some have names like MLKEM768-X25519 (aka X-Wing).

But yeah, PQC (including other types of primitives) can still slow things down in plenty of other ways like bandwidth+latency costs that hit constrained devices harder.

Kyber is more like 3x less compute than dhkem. And you can still use AES-128 because Grover’s is highly impractical: best concrete quantum attacks (assuming a 2^96 max circuit depth) put AES-128 at 156 bits security, much higher than classical attacks and the theoretical 2^64 oracle calls.

The expected emergence of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) will represent
a singular discontinuity in the history of digital security, with wide ranging impacts. This whitepaper
seeks to elucidate specific implications that the capabilities of developing quantum architectures have
on blockchain vulnerabilities and potential mitigation strategies. First, we provide new resource
estimates for breaking the 256-bit Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem over the secp256k1
curve, the core of modern blockchain cryptography. We demonstrate that Shor’s algorithm for this
problem can execute with either ≤ 1200 logical qubits and ≤ 90 million Toffoli gates or ≤ 1450
logical qubits and ≤ 70 million Toffoli gates. In the interest of responsible disclosure, we use a zero-
knowledge proof to validate these results without disclosing attack vectors. On superconducting
architectures with 10−3 physical error rates and planar connectivity, those circuits can execute in
minutes using fewer than half a million physical qubits. We introduce a critical distinction between
“fast-clock” (such as superconducting and photonic) and “slow-clock” (such as neutral atom and ion
trap) architectures. Our analysis reveals that the first fast-clock CRQCs would enable “on-spend”
attacks on public mempool transactions of some cryptocurrencies. We survey major crypto…

WNBA Players Had an Ace Up Their Sleeve in Pay Negotiations: A Nobel Laureate Harvard economist Claudia Goldin helped WNBA players win a nearly 400% raise. Starting this season, players’ average salary will top $580,000.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations.

She accepted three.

One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history.
