ffwang2··on Dayjob: Tax – evaluating AI agents on 50 professional tax assignments
yeah i think liability ultimately lies on the individual. of course, you could sue your accountant, but that feels hard, maybe almost as hard as suing the model providers.
ffwang2··on Dayjob: Tax – evaluating AI agents on 50 professional tax assignments
i'm a bit unclear who has the liability even when you use a CPA. accountants are humans that sometimes make mistakes.

ffwang2··on Veil is private browsing for the ultra-paranoid
Veil has two modes. One is a image-based browsing. Another is focused on eliminated RAM artifacts and DNS caches on the operating systems side. I agree there are a lot of solutions, and we don't solve all the problems. The point is that we wanted to challenge the current notion that only browsers can provide incognito mode. We were thinking is there a way for developers to do this since they are the ones delivering the content in the first place.

The point of the paper was to create discussions like this! Thanks for your thoughts. I really appreciate it.

Frank here. I didn't really need the paper to complete grad school. I thought it was a cool project to work on. That's all. There are a lot of solutions to a lot of problems. I'm not claiming it's the best one, just presenting a different way of thinking.
ffwang2··on Ask HN: How do you get notified about newest research papers in your field?
In computer science, there are a few big conferences in a specific CS discipline, I usually attend those conference or look at their programs. But, computer science is a unique field in which papers are funneled through conferences.
ffwang2··on How Inflight Wifi Works
Many of the domestic flights have wifi, especially if you fly JetBlue or United.
ffwang2··on Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin's Peer-To-Peer Network
I agree. You still run into the same problem because you have to assume these nodes are not malicious. It's even worse because most pools and miners use it. If any node is malicious, everyone will be affected.
