@ClemensZsofia I've been waiting for a cookbook since your talk in Boulder 2019.

A masterpiece from Natalie's THE COOKBOOK sa.nutriintervention.com/the-cookbook

@ambimorph I like this post. See - not private.

RIP likebots. Now only Twitter can profile you this way. I have mixed feelings about that. It hasn't increased my *choice* about what I share with whom.

@mst4truth @KetoCarnivore @CarnalDancer @TuckerGoodrich @BiggestComeback @HopcuttDarryl @mikeoniron @Finance_Weights @exfatloss @PeterFaberSP @garytaubes @ZeroAcreFarms Losing fat is a primary quality of life issue. Don't diss those who seek it. That other health issues go along with it is nice but if the only problem presenting itself is a lardy arse, then reducing that through LC is a perfectly rational thing to do.

@KetoCarnivore @CarnalDancer @TuckerGoodrich @BiggestComeback @HopcuttDarryl @mikeoniron @Finance_Weights @exfatloss @PeterFaberSP @garytaubes @ZeroAcreFarms I think too many focus on losing weight rather than healing disease. They fail to differentiate the two. Obviously getting healthy requires a broader, more comprehensive strategy which will have much more long-term benefits above and beyond that of losing excess bodyfat.

That's just wrong. "I suppose if Speakman et al had mentioned that their preferred interpretation of their mouse data had already been refuted in humans – that it manifestly fails to translate..." "Do We Care Why Mice Get Fat?" open.substack.com/pub/unsettleds… #lcl6 @garytaubes @JohnSpeakman4

@ElonMuskAOC @elonmusk Make it run Plan9 by default, I'll buy it.

@elonmusk 𝕏 computer on the way? Should I make it? Tired of this wokeness.

Just bought a new PC laptop and it won’t let me use it unless I create a Microsoft account, which also means giving their AI access to my computer! This is messed up. There used to be an option to skip signing into or creating a Microsoft account. Are you seeing this too?

@KATUNews How about doing an article about how the PGE web site lies about their rates? 5.1c/KWh , 21.031cKWh and 27.693c/KWh for off peak, mid peak and on peak, when the reality on my bill is 9.718c, 17.096c and 42.168c respectively.

Portland General Electric has announced 85,000 customers may be eligible for a discount program that takes up to 60% off of energy bills. katu.com/news/local/850…

@studouglas We do too

@studouglas Break those two apart. Join the EU. Don't break from the UK. Try to be part of something bigger that yourself.

@Jonathan_Blow Unless you need FIPS certification for your programs, I'm probably not the one.

Hello, we are hiring for a lot of things. I'll start with programmers: Graphics Programmer Systems Programmer VR Game Lead Programmer Each has a full description in this thread. DM me if interested (please actually be qualified or you will cause Climate Change.)

I feel like Google Maps is in serious trouble. Suddenly it is *incredibly* buggy, basic stuff that worked fine for years now suddenly stopped working and at least some of it has been broken for weeks. It feels like the thing where a project gets handed over to people who have no idea what's going on.

@hashbreaker It takes a number of clocks to run Kyber512 in HW. Brute force it based on your paper. It could be practically computed. Put thousands of implementations on a chip in HW. Put thousands of those chips in a datacenters. Since the state access cost is 0, that might be doable.

@DavidInOregon Sorry, which algorithm in blog.cr.yp.to/20231023-clump… are you describing as a "brute force attack"? Also, what definition of "time" are you referring to that would allow such an attack to finish in time 0, and how is that notion relevant to the blog post?

New blog post: "Reducing 'gate' counts for Kyber-512: Two algorithm analyses, from first principles, contradicting NIST's calculation." blog.cr.yp.to/20231023-clump… #xor #popcount #gates #memory #clumping Also via Cloudflare given the frequent DoS attacks: blog-cr-yp-to.viacache.net/20231023-clump…

@hashbreaker I'm disputing that there is a memory access cost at all. If you are implementing a brute force attack, you will build it in a way that the time costs are 0.

@DavidInOregon What exactly do you claim to be disputing? sqrt(T)/2^5 is a negligible cost when T is small. Surely you aren't claiming that long-distance communication is free.

@hashbreaker Interesting. This confirms my biases concerning the PQC candidates. Unpleasant choices await me when I get back from vacation.

New blog post "The inability to count correctly: Debunking NIST's calculation of the Kyber-512 security level." On a related note, announces a followup FOIA lawsuit filed today. blog.cr.yp.to/20231003-count… blog-cr-yp-to.viacache.net/20231003-count… #nist #addition #multiplication #ntru #kyber #fiasco

@elonmusk Open the borders. It worked in Europe. The sky did not fall in.

Illegal immigration needs to stop, but I’m super in favor of greatly expanding and simplifying legal immigration. Anyone who proves themself to be hard-working, talented and honest should be allowed to become an American. Period.

@Mat_Hunt @NobelPrize They gave Ed Witten a Fields. This is returning the favour.

@NobelPrize Controversial giving a physics Nobel to a mathematician.

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2020 #NobelPrize in Physics with one half to Roger Penrose and the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.

@veorq @MarioLamberger "Do not write an RNG". I'm in trouble then.

🐧🐧🐧

@hashbreaker It has always been that way. The NSA drive the bus on NIST crypto standards. If you want something done with NIST spec, persuade the NSA and it will happen.

web.archive.org/web/2023091009… says author is "Post Quantum Cryptography Team, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), pqc@nist.gov". FOIA results have revealed secret pqc@nist.gov team members in early Sep 2016, after draft NISTPQC call: more NSA people than NIST people.

@libbyemmons PETA accusing cows of being white supremacists

This can’t be real. Please tell me this isn’t real.

@bensima @KetoCarnivore Humans do too. Do a dry fast for a couple of days. You body will start retiring fat cells to yield some water. *This is not a health recommendation . It's just a thing.

@KetoCarnivore As a kid I was told they stored water in their humps and that’s how they survive the desert 😂 I guess it’s partially true, “metabolic water”

Camel hump fat looks amazing.

@mwesterdahl76 I am moving from C to Zig. Zig addresses many problems in C without inheriting the problems of C++

I would like to move towards C over C++ for our libraries. However, one big dependency we use is Google's Protobuf which is C++. There is a C port of it, but it too has a risk of its own to go all in on that...
