There was an article around here about how battery life actually improves if you ultra-fast charge the battery when you make it.

Maybe it will deteriorate it, but it seems that the effect that different charge types have on batteries may not be complete yet.


I have to add https://nullprogram.com, just because of the care the author took to have it work better in lynx[1]:

    Just in case you haven’t tried it, the blog also works really well with terminal-based browsers, such as Lynx and ELinks. Go ahead and give it a shot. The header that normally appears at the top of the page is actually at the bottom of the HTML document structure. It’s out of the way for browsers that ignore CSS.

Is this a different method from the httptap [1] that was on hackernews a few weeks ago? Somebody in that post seemed to say that it also generates CA certificates on the fly.

httptap is really cool! Their technique is different (they do a filesystem mount instead of intercepting syscalls like Subtrace does) but both tools effectively reach the same goal using different routes.


I use Zotero[1] as a personal web archiver. It downloads the page locally, placing most of the resources inside a single html file (pictures become base64 encoded pngs, for example). I find it the best way to have the content available offline and also to be able to reference it easily, seeing as it is a citation manager first.

It can, but that's another type of "shallow", or more exactly "not-deep" cloning, called blobless cloning [1]. There is also treeless cloning, with other tradeoffs, but much to the same effect.

I found this[2] very enlightening.

I assume that framework is not open-source or somewhere I can look at it?


You could take a look at the open-source dbt framework. They have a good implementation of unit testing for sql

https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/unit-tests


I guarantee you wouldn't want to use it


Not the OP, but they are "Headers". Probably coming from the <h1> tag in html. What outsiders probably call "Headlines".


What libraries have you seen that do this?


With quantum tokens, law enforcement have to crack your physical devices, so they at least have to good-old-fashion bug your devices. With classical schemes, they can intercept on the way.

I wouldn't say that current side-channels, most certainly enabled by hardware, not software, are easier to audit.


I don't think that's true. If you're paranoid you can build a very simple and easy to audit device that lets packets through exactly every x microseconds, with a short buffer to prevent timing via dropouts.

Works fine for digital, doesn't work for quantum stuff.


“lawful intercept” can be mandated to be built into anything


Yes, but it's much easier to see it in hardware than in software.


Yes, in theory. In practice, photon generators won't behave perfectly. There are lots of possible attacks, like photon splitting [1].

Once you put error correction, doenn't you lose all the nice properties of the non cloning theorem? If the protocol tolerates 30% of errors, doesn't it tolerate 30% of MITM? (60%??)


You don't need error correction for some crypto primitives. There are QKD networks deployed that don't have that kind of error correction, as far as I know.


How can QKD repeaters store and forward or just forward without collapsing phase state?

How does photonic phase state collapse due to fiber mitm compare to a heartbeat on a classical fiber?

There is quantum counterfactual communication without entanglement FWIU? And there's a difference between QND "Quantum Non-Demolition" and "Interaction-free measurement"

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41480957#41533965 :

>> IIRC I read on Wikipedia one day that Bell's actually says there's like a 60% error rate?(!)

> That was probably the "Bell test" article, which - IIUC - does indeed indicate that if you can read 62% of the photons you are likely to find a loophole-free violation

> [ "Violation of Bell inequality by photon scattering on a two-level emitter", ]

Bell test > Detection loophole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test#Detection_loophole :

> when using a maximally entangled state and the CHSH inequality an efficiency of η>2sqrt(2)−2≈0.83 is required for a loophole-free violation.[51] Later Philippe H. Eberhard showed that when using a partially entangled state a loophole-free violation is possible for

η>2/3≈0.67,[52] which is the optimal bound for the CHSH inequality. [53] Other Bell inequalities allow for even lower bounds. For example, there exists a four-setting inequality which is violated for η>(5−1)/2≈0.62 [54]

Isn't modern error detection and classical PQ sufficient to work with those odds?

> Historically, only experiments with non-optical systems have been able to reach high enough efficiencies to close this loophole, such as trapped ions, [55] superconducting qubits, [56] and nitrogen-vacancy centers. [57] These experiments were not able to close the locality loophole, which is easy to do with photons. More recently, however, optical setups have managed to reach sufficiently high detection efficiencies by using superconducting photodetectors, [30][31] and hybrid setups have managed to combine the high detection efficiency typical of matter systems with the ease of distributing entanglement at a distance typical of photonic systems. [10]


No-cloning theorem applies to logical qubits too! That "30% of errors" doesn't allow you to read out the logical state. Information is physical.
