The issuer knows everything and can help track if the wish to. The issue here is lack of trust in any corporate or government entity.

Well, yes, if they use something completely different to what's published and designed.

But no, we're not talking about the case where there's no trust at all in the government, because then you don't get verifiable credentials at all. We're talking about building privacy-preserving credentials that actually have a use.

Excuse me what? Fonts? How do fonts signal LLM usage now


I've seen a bunch of interactive toys and visualizations generated by AI in the past year. For some reason they really like monotype "techy" fonts.

It's just one of the signals - not the primary one.


But that has no moat. Anyone can generate a database of natural numbers using SOTA models.


How would that help in this case?


Can you share examples of new database architectures and products using them that are built for SSDs?

I'm sure we have different capabilities and constraints, but I am unaware of any fundamentally different approaches to indexes.



That blog post is very light on details can be condensed to a single line/paragraph. LSM trees are more efficient for SSDs and modern databases use them.

I don't know enough to comment yet but will go read about it.


I only see **. Must be the security. When you type your password it gets converted to **.


Before commenting water is cheap and plentiful please read the proposed definition.

> Water bankruptcy refers to “a state in which a human-water system has spent beyond its hydrological means for so long that it can no longer satisfy the claims upon it without inflicting unacceptable or irreversible damage to nature.”


Yeah but that definition is a deformation of what bankrupcy means for a business, and the use of the word bankrupcy is more alarmist than its "proposed definition".

"irreversible damage to nature" is vague. Is a dam causing irreversible damage to nature? It sure is. Can it solve a lack of water in the dry season, of course it can.

People are more ready to build dams and damage nature than to starve.

The whole notion of bankrupcy is unclear, and making headlines with alarmist claims that are not really felt on the ground is just going to make people cringe.


Anything is true if you define the terms contrary to their meaning.


So when you read "water bankruptcy", you assumed it meant a legal process where the world can apply to a court to have its water debt annulled and start again?


This really made me laugh, but at the same time "water bankruptcy" doesn't mean anything before this statement but bankruptcy did. The term was chosen to give the same kind of emotional reaction as bankruptcy


wait, is that why "humanity" redefines and reinterprets words and meanings all the time?


Good thing that isn't what happened with this sensible definition. What part of that definition do you object to?
