arXiv:2609.28528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The goal of this note is to give a detailed proof, to the best of our understanding, of the recent presentation by Harrison and Leeman (arXiv:2609.17650v01 and arXiv:2609.17650v02) of the proof by Astra on the lower bound for differentially private continual counting. We believe a more natural and easy proof is possible and hope that this note will help in that effort.
