- timschmidt 1y agoIDK, let's ask a mathematician. Oh, they all work for NSA.

- timschmidt 1y agoI like to tell myself that everyone at NSA is a fine upstanding patriot, and that the agency only ever does what is in the best interest of the American People, but that does feel naive at times. Like when they infiltrate international standards bodies to introduce backdoors. Is downsizing the NSA something we're upset about?

- bb88 1y agoIf you can find a quantum computing solution it's at worst O(sqrt(n)). There still seems to be a time factor, if not energy factor to computation. Shor's algorithm for factoring prime numbers is at best O(log(n)^2 * log(log(n)))
