Me: Does this solve a problem I care about? *reads docs* Me: Yes. Yes it does.

Gregor Samsa woke up one morning and chose violence.

Ran out of four bond carbon to do the one on the left properly; getting more tomorrow

It is raining. Good time to run.

Emotions are local. They are not illogical, but they exist on a manifold. Looked at in isolation, they make sense, and you can understand them and apply simple rules, but if you try to apply large sweeping transformations to derive how one ought to be feeling, you will end up with nonsense at best.

I guess with all the vibe coding going around, I should start pimping my library I wrote before avoiding accidentally checking in your creds was cool. github.com/cwgreene/sup...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The existence of *theoretical* computational complexity classes which distinguish between Post Quantum and Classical encryption schemes should be sufficient reason to move to post quantum systems.

Alright; has anyone already made CTF problems based on HFS+?

Alright; does the "Similar Accounts" feature have an endpoint?

Restructuring code so that is understandable by LLMs may be the trick to finally get programmers to think about other people reading code.

So, suppose you have a nice function f which is invertible. Technically, you have enough to start doing group things. However, in some computational contexts, being able to compute (h ∘ g) for arbitrary h=f^n and g=f^k isn't doable without applying f n+k times.

okay, it works if you aren't stupid and actually do CRT on both the x and the y.

So EllipticCurve(GF(191),[4,128]) and E2=EllipticCurve(GF(137),[4,128]) have |E|=168 and |E2|=142. E3=EllipticCurve(Zmod(137*191),[4,128]). Counting using lift_x on E3 gives 168*142. One point is double counted, but I think we also leave out the O point so it works out.

One of the biggest mistakes I made was not realizing that when employers talk about "Growth" in a company they mean nothing more than the size of your paycheck.

Sadly, sage does not seem to make it easy to construct a DirectProduct out of things that are groups, but not explicitly so.
