Hendrix Moise indicted on assault/DV charges in King County

Hendrix Moise indicted on assault/DV charges in King County

Earlier this week there were some people on this subreddit posting about Hendrix being victimized by the "trans mob" in King County. It appears that the post did not contain the full story, as now Hendrix is the one on trial for assault now.

We should wait for facts to come out before we try to make sweeping generalizations about groups of people!

Bizarre "Diophantine-based" PQC patent; is it slop?

​

Recently this article from a relatively reputable Singaporean news outlet showed up on my feed. They mentioned that they had come up with some kind of Diophantine based post quantum encryption. After some digging I found the patent for this supposed PQC scheme:

​

Some interesting highlights from the patent:

​

- The patent proposes to use an AI model to predict whether a given Diophantine equation has a solution or not. Determining the solvability of a Diophantine equation is an undecidable problem as they admit, but somehow their super powerful model will magically bypass the minor technical difficulty of solving the halting problem.

- They keep talking about a "prime coordinates" system to represent integers, which is ultimately just a fancy way to say "Chinese Remainder Theorem". They don't ever use the words "Chinese Remainder Theorem" for some reason.

- A piano (Figure 5B) is involved somehow in this post quantum encryption scheme (!!!)

​

Thoughts?
