Building Post-Quantum Cryptographic Protocols
How to build post-quantum cryptographic protocols and why wall clocks are not to be trusted.
rosenpass.eu
You can now rewatch our talk from #håckmas on designing the Rosenpass cryptographic protocol.
We introduce the principles behind how Rosenpass works, provide insights in state disruption attacks, and we explain how KEM-combiners such as X-Wing work!

The way power constructs itself is by making a bargain with everyone who holds a little leverage: betray your fellow people and become one of us. We'll bribe you handsomely; just cease your solidarity.
This happens on every level of power, sieving societal hierarchy by how corrupt you are.

This seems to use a number of non-standard definitions, making Olivd look better why making the other applications look worse. Signals safety number provides e2e auth for instance, the UI just doesn't enforce going through a verification step. This chart therefor appears misleading to me.

Gravity Seems Holographic. What Does That Mean for Reality? | Quanta Magazine
The biggest breakthrough in modern theoretical physics is the discovery that gravity can collapse the dimensions of space. Physicists don’t yet understand the implications.

Possible because the subjects who assume a lot of other people are doing a lot of tricking, are doing a lot of tricking.
They assume everyone else is as bad as they themselves really are.

It does feel like the animus behind so much of this discourse is "other people are trying to trick me about who they are and I have to catch them." Why does this suspicion feel so urgent to so many people.
okay so just checking in on the UK media. learning lots. being trans isn’t real. ADHD isn’t real. being disabled isn’t real. but what is real is Harry Potter

There are only two relevant genders: Those who do procreative work and those who do not.

Reboot of Xena, as a drama about an abusive relationship between Gabrielle, Xena, and Ares. Sequence of "unlikely allies" situations.
Gabrielle & Xena emotionally separate from Ares & each other, but find no alternatives for kinship & community, so they build a relationship, untraining violence.

Why do museums not create replicas of their object and allow people to play with those objects? To really interact, to form a relationship. Watching something behind glass is such an inhuman way of interacting with the world. It separates connection between the us and the artifacts around us.

That is, to clarify, not "truly" an issue.
The tech spaces are unfortunately affected by the same dynamics of *coldness* that affect a lot of these spaces. Lots of virtue signaling, very little willingness to actually do something.
