My initial assessment of https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/601 is that (1) the "halved dimension" is actually what people normally call the "dimension" for NTRU; (2) Section 4 is understating what the usual attacks accomplish; (3) all 2024/601 exponents are above the usual exponents.

Google is a strangler fig, in the long term its only goal is to kill the World Wide Web.
First they help you find good content, so people visit and use and enjoy and participate in good web sites.
Then they insist on scraping every piece of value they can, and presenting it to the user such that they never have to visit the websites at all.
Then the websites die, having been choked to death by the strangler fig, and people blame the websites for dying, not the strangler who bled them dry.

You might think that even in today’s highly polarized election environment there would be a bipartisan consensus to protect election workers from intimidation and harassment. If you thought so, you would be wrong.

Holy fuck.
"In recent years in California, the duck curve has become a massive, deep canyon — and solar power is going unused."
Ya don't say. Still, #BuryTheLede tho. Headline incongruent.
#wapo #greenenergy #decarbonization #climatechange
Headline makes it sound like energy prices are negative. BS.

Spoons have enormous potential for humanity, but also pose risks, such as being left out on the table and dripping honey on things that shouldn't have honey dripped on them.
That is why we need to re-engineer our spoons to be aligned with human values like keeping our surfaces clean, saving excess honey, and promoting flourishing.
I'm thrilled to announce I've received $1 billion in series A funding to solve this problem at scale.

#Meta says that its #Llama #AI tools are "the best #OpenSource models of their class, period."
From @kylelwiggers: "There’s only one problem: the Llama…models aren’t really “open source”… Open source implies that devs can use the models how they choose…But…Meta has imposed certain licensing restrictions…Llama models can’t be used to train other models. And app developers with over 700M monthly users must request a special license from Meta."

Sorry for the Instagram link but this was interesting, 1970s documents of a gay student organization fighting for recognition at the University of Kentucky. Most notable to me, the leader was from Whitley County where I come from. Love hearing that.

This is both heartbreaking and infuriating. There is absolutely no excuse or justification for instilling such fear in Jewish students. The hatred and bigotry on display on American streets is evil. If you feel that Israel has gone too far after October 7, there are ample ways of making your point without causing young Jewish kids to live in fear, simply because they're Jewish.

I am livid and scared. My daughter, a library board trustee in her city, is being targeted by the Moms for Stupidity and their minions, including Proud Boys. She is attacked in their RW rags, social media and AM radio. They film her. It's no secret where she lives, where my granddaughter lives. I admit that because it's happening to my own kid, I'm more inclined to say, get the hell out before you get hurt.
