Unverified50% confidenceOpinionExact time
The NIST curve was once suspected of containing an NSA-planted backdoor, but after the Dual_EC_DRBG incident, such concerns have focused mainly on that random number generator rather than on the curve itself.

UnverifiedThe NIST randomness test suite has two fundamental limitations: first, it tests statistical properties, and it is often powerless against carefully constructed pseudorandom sequences; second, it does not model the intelligence level of the observer.62% similarUnverifiedDownsampling operations in intermediate layers of a CNN (such as pooling and strided convolutions) disrupt shift equivariance, making shift invariance impossible to guarantee.57% similarUnverifiedThe Mersenne Twister algorithm is not a cryptographically secure random number generator; by observing enough (typically 624) consecutive outputs, one can fully reconstruct its internal state and predict subsequent random numbers.57% similarUnverifiedNeel Nanda points out that there are two kinds of superposition, arbitrary superposition and representational superposition, and what Cammarata refuted is arbitrary superposition, while representational superposition remains the core controversy.56% similarUnverifiedIn Stratego, simply assigning random values to hidden pieces and then running MCTS causes the AI to systematically overestimate the safety of certain lines of attack.55% similar
