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 idea that people tend to collectively remember things inacc

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 first 20 best moves are all memorised. These guys would

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 brushing your teeth. Working out is just what you do, and it’s a w

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 pattern is the same for 10. These colours and numbers are both

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 other side’s ego”

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 to your algorithm, you now have to kill yourself. Probably,

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 basically make the math work out. I suspect the authors t

Got it, thank you!

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 < q, m_2 = m and there is nothing left to add. 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 some work to parse these papers and I'm lazily just aski

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 values the malicious server inserts as the encrypted sid and q^

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 crack the minor tweak on the new password. To be fair to these

This is what I find most plausible as well. If we just look at facts we currently believe to be true, then we know there are enormous distances between planets and no fast way of travelling between them. Then for a lot of probabilities you

WhatsApp group chats are E2E. I actually worked on this. It is true (unless they’ve changed it) that the precise security guarantees of the group protocol are different, but it is still ends-to-ends encrypted.

I remember seeing this bug years ago. As Filippo mentions at the end, I'm still not sure whether to attribute this to malice or incompetence as per Hanlon's razor. I have not really followed what's up with Telegram lately, bu

He clearly knows he's talking to an actual expert who's calling him out, so he thinks faking getting angry and storming out is a good way for him to escape the situation.

He did not (he even said they've recovered 10,000+ private keys!). If a nonce is reused across different signatures or just known because randomness is bad, one can compromise the private key used in making the signature.
