Really nice setup! What kinds of music do you make?

There’s a lot more to semiconductor manufacturing than just the lithography, and there’s a whole supply chain required to support it. To replicate the kind of process nodes that TSMC is manufacturing you would need a lot of institutional expertise in:

• crystal growth (or sourcing)
• wafer manufacture (or sourcing)
• silicon doping
• process design
• mask design
• mask manufacture
• photoresist manufacture (or sourcing)
• photoresist application
• etching
• sputtering
• testing and validation
• wire bonding
• packaging

That’s just off the top of my head as someone who is a spectator of the industry but not involved. There’s probably a lot more you’d need to perfect in order to produce cutting edge silicon.

If this were done in the EU it would likely involve multiple companies specialising in one area each, as we don’t have an Intel or AMD with the budget to pour into developing an in-house foundry. I can’t imagine how much investment it would take though. China has been working on this for decades and is still at least a decade behind in their own silicon process.

Get money out of politics and hold politicians to a higher standard.

Quantum computers will not solve the discrete log or factor a large prime(*) in our lifetimes.

• faster than a contemporaneous classical computer, for a practical key size and algorithm with full iterations

If they do then I will eat my hat.

I havent used Matlab (or Octave) for 20 years. I assumed by now that Python would have caught up and overtaken with all of the scientific/mathematic/computing libraries.

“Red Alert, Command & Conquer, Dune 2000, Rebuilt for the Modern Era.”

For some reason I thought this was going to be an open-source community effort, but it’s not. It’s proprietary and made by an indie studio called Totem Arts.

Disappointing.

Which order are these emails supposed to be read in? Is the manufacturer replying to the reviewer or vice-versa?

The false positives are going to be tremendously dangerous to the falsely accused, as there is no way to either prove or disprove the charge. It’s just a case of “computer says you’re 99% likely to be the same person.”

Sadder than Bambi.

I’ve been waiting for something like this to appear. Not just a “plagiarism detector” but something that actually identifies the data in the training pool that most closely represent a particular AI model output. You could do the same for text and images too, and I’m surprised this is the first one that I’ve heard of.

I’m not a fan of the MAFIAA but if this type of reverse-search tech can hold AI companies to account then it’s a step towards reining them in.

Vibe-coded slop is horribly insecure and the dev doesn’t understand the codebase?

I was referring to this part:

Welp, I just wanted to check something on the remote desktop, so I launched VNC, and WOAH, I didn’t expect to get XFCE invasion. I didn’t know XFCE can do Wayland now.

Now I don’t really understand what you’re doing at all.

Hi, could you explain how key exchange works and why you chose AES-256 in CBC mode?

I’m guessing that your remote XFCE isn’t doing anything to do with Wayland, it’s the local VNC client.
