IMO depends on your career. I did a lot of pentesting with Burp Suite so I was able to (forced to) pick it up.

I think the disconnect is that you assume that being able to do useful computation on some data implies that it must be possible to derive some insight into what the data is (side-channels or the like).
It's a fair assumption to start with. But the folks building FHE basically claim "nuh-uh", and I haven't seen anything to indicate they're wrong. Maybe some new Math grad will sort it out.

I too have been playing with the conjecture for fun. Your insight is interesting because of the appearance of 2^n, given that that always resolves to 1 for all n.

Do what I did when UDub pushed me out: finish at UOregon.

The author seems to expect someone to be patrolling imports with a gun rather than a strongly-worded "we're not liable if you hurt yourself" sign.

When I heard the demo, I assumed they licensed her voice until I read the press release.

on: Our bacteria are more personal than we thought, new study shows
I remember hearing about this sort of thing from a grad student a few years back. She pointed out that there were interesting privacy concerns with these microbiomes, given how we leave traces of it.

Lean has been a really exciting thing for me to watch (as an amateur observer), it's gonna go right up to the limits that Godel found.

I remember planning to do something in video games as I was growing up. Ended up in a different but fairly related field. Maybe this is just a sign of the next generation of people that'll work in advertising/marketing/PR/media/fashion?

Flat out untrue, I know a friend who started in the field out of high school and was getting DA in places before he could even drink.
EDIT: My bad, misread your comment.

on: Framework Laptop (2022) review: the repairability dream
I ran into a similar issue. It took a Google search plus following a nicely documented guide to reset, and I was back at it. Way easier fix process than dealing with <PC Laptop Manufacturing Company> support.

I'm not a design or front-end type of mind, but seeing the terminals and visual design in TL inspired me to try working in CSS to achieve the same colors/glow.

A tqbf blog with a link to a blogger agreeing with a Matasano blog about not liking agents? I smell a reference loop!
