You know you can comment out code to quickly disable it:

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaThis took waaaay too long because I kept overlooking a glaring mistake at the range reduction algorithm, but once I saw it things went much more smoothly.
The #nim solution actually optimizes the range reduction step and comes in under a millisecond to execute which was nice.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.08096 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.08096 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.08096
arXiv:2512.08096v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study methods to enhance privacy in blockchain transactions from an economic angle. We consider mechanisms for privacy-aware users whose utility depends not only on the outcome of the mechanism but also negatively on the exposure of their economic preferences. Specifically, we study two auction-theoretic settings with privacy-aware users. First, we analyze an order flow auction, where a user auctions off to specialized agents, called searchers, the right to execute her transaction while maintaining a degree of privacy. We examine how the degree of privacy affects the revenue of the auction and, broadly, the net utility of the privacy-aware user. In this new setting, we describe the optimal auction, which is a sealed-bid auction. Subsequently, we analyze a variant of a Dutch auction in which the user gradually decreases the price and the degree of privacy until the transaction is sold. We compare the revenue of this auction to that of the optimal one as a function of the number of communication rounds. Then, we introduce a two-sided market - a privacy marketplace - with multiple users selling their transactions under their privacy preferences to multiple searchers. We propose a posted-price mechanism for the two-sided market that guarantees constant approximation of the optimal social welfare while maintaining incentive compatibility (from both sides of the market) and budget balance. This work builds on the emerging line of research that attempts to improve the performance of economic mechanisms by appending cryptographic primitives to them.

Iran further extended an order closing its airspace to commercial aircraft without explanation early on Thursday.
A notice to pilots said the closure was estimated to last until 7.30am local time, the AP is reporting.
A previous order had closed the airspace for just over two hours.
The Iranian government offered no explanation of the decision to shut its airspace amid the tensions with Washington over Tehran’s protest crackdown.
