    The best explanation I’ve ever seen of the Fourier transform is from 3Blue1Brown: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=spUNpyF58BY&vl=en

    Totally agree. For a negative example see all the companies desperately trying to find sone problem for blockchain to solve.

    Call me selfish but I don’t make much of a distinction since there’s a good chance me and everyone I know are dead.

    Indeed, I think a supervolcano like Yellowstone erupting is much more likely.

    I think your reply is a little too strident. It’s not a “fake idea”. It’s just someone’s idea. I hadn’t heard of it but I googled it upon reading this thread and it seems to be the…

    There’s absolutely no way this is the case. Chess GMs at Magnus and Hans’ level wouldn't even need to cheat on every move and certainly not on any opening where something like the …

    I’ve exercised probably 90% of days for the last ten years. Days when I don’t are just rest days or travel days. To be honest, I think it’s best just to make it a habit like brushi…

    Perhaps I’m looking into the data too much, but it doesn’t surprise me that 0 is often the neutral white, black or grey, and that, because we use the base 10 number system, the pat…

    100%. I found the books “how to have impossible conversations” and “crucial conversations” helpful for me, but in a nutshell they’re basically “say things in a way that protect the…

    Same in MMA: athletes are stuck competing either in the UFC, Bellator, etc.

    What would happen (most likely) is that the wave function collapses and you find yourself in a universe where the random number you chose is not in fact a divisor and so, according…

    The client could in theory see the javascript running and detect this.

    Thanks for the responses. I hope it was useful to go through. Yeah, I think the salient points are that the sid is not all 0 but mostly 0 in one case and Fermat's Little Theorem ba…

    Right, but my question is, why is it the correct value? There's some math theorem which makes it true? m_2 = c^d_q mod q = m^(e * d_q) mod q = m because?

    Pretty elucidating, thanks. Could you just elaborate on the part: > If m Why is this? What is d_p? d mod p?

    The fact that you also are a little fuzzy on the details gives me some confidence that I do in fact have some imposter syndrome ;) Thanks for your response. I understand it takes s…

    I think I understand the attack at a high level but I’m still not sure on some details. Could someone explain how the math works to provide the oracle? In particular, the exact val…

    A lot of users will simply change their passwords by appending a 1, 2, 3, etc. at the end. Presumably if old passwords did sour and become compromised then Hashcat would easily cra…
