Comment Re:Do not trust "quantum safe" encryption (Score 1) 35

Good points. I'm no expert in the field, but I've taken master's level courses in the relevant math and physics. I particularly remember my math professor saying that no encryption has been mathematically proven safe. We only know the current schemes are safe insofar as nobody has published an attack yet.

We do know how to break certain classical encryption schemes with hypothetical quantum computers. This clearly doesn't mean other schemes will stay quantum-unbreakable forever, because people keep inventing new algorithms. So "quantum safe" only applies in a very limited sense, until the day they are broken.

Is thet number thermal output or Electric? I'm no expert put afaik it's a rather significant difference

Net electric, it's in the fscking summary:

Overall, the present design of ARC is expected to produce about 1.13 GW of fusion power, with 500 MW of that extracted as electricity. Some of that (100 MW) will be needed to power the plant's operations, leaving 400 MW to be sent to the grid.

I was also thinking of https://xkcd.com/323/, specifically the part "You can't just give a team of coders a year's supply of whiskey", because that's what AI coding looks like to me. Instead of giving devs just enough rope to hang themselves, we're now giving dilettante coders the keys to the entire rope industry.

I want to eat human flesh, particularly humans whose names start with "dev" and end with "slash0". Do you have a problem with that? Because ain't nobody going to tell me what I should and should not eat.

In other words, I'm sick and tired of people who think their choice of food is only about their personal rights. The food always comes from somewhere. Most people don't go around robbing grocery stores just because they think they have a divine right to eat what they want.

And then technology just froze. No sensor components got cheaper. Computer vision stopped, as a field. Multimodal AI didnâ(TM)t get invented. Robotic hand technology development stopped. Robotic planning and error recovery did not progress. Time just froze, after McDonalds ended its robotic program.
