It would be funny if he makes a new video about TOR and ends up mentioning your comment :D

I never operated a TOR node, but as far as I know and heard from other sources, TOR realays don't get much attention from law enforcement, it any attention at all. Which makes sense: all they're doing is getting encrypted traffic

Still better than leaving devices unpatched. The end user still has the final word, can totally refuse to buy a new one if he/she doesn't think getting a new one is worth it.

The problem is that OP specifically said 2^33, which is quite darn easy. I didn't immediately realize that he was saying so just because, in this specific case, only 66 bits needed to be found, which indeed gives 2^33 by applying the u

We do know that the open web consitutes the bulk of the trainig data, although we don't get to know the specific webpages that got used. Plus some more selected sources, like books, of which again we only know that those are books but

It's indeed called the discrete logarithm problem both in the case of finite fields modulo some number and elliptic curves modulo a number. In the first case, you are reversing an exponentiation, so you're indeed computing a logar

I didn't say that having larger blocks makes a crypocurrency hinerently less valuable, my point was that it's not enough to obtain the widespread adoption and the consequent increase in value you were talking about. But I also see

Yes, best is always wrt some metric, which here is clearly monetary gain.

It shouldn't be so easy to derive a private key from the corresponding public key. Is the attack you're referring to working because most of the bits of the private key are already known or am I missing something else here?

How's the electricity you're using produced? ;)

I think you're describing Bitcoin Cash, but AFAIK it's worth less than original BTC. What you're not considering is the brand value of BTC being the first and most famous crypto currency.

Yes, but in your example the probability of finding it at the first try would be one in a trillion, which is already so small to be negligible. And 2^66 is much bigger than that.

Why should the analogy consider each key as a different brand of lock? Each key needs to be cracked separately, but you can use the same method for all of them (assuming one finds a general method and not one based on some property that onl

Technically, while the two problems share the same name, the one on elliptic curves is matematically different from the one over finite fields modulo a prime number.

My bullshit: "Today I'm too lazy to prove that the Earth is flat." Tool's answer: "Good, because you can't prove bullshit." I found it very funny :D

I was able to add myself even though I have another unrelated sentence in my bio. But I think the tool fails to show my interests.

Aren't LLMs bad at explaining their own inner workings anyway? What would such prompt reveal that is so secret?

It just makes everything more realistic :D

It really depends on which kind of data you're collecting. If you're collecting health related data that is linkable to the people it pertains to, the GDPR would prevent you from sharing that data with third parties without one of

Well, if we're discussing whose data it is the information about how much I pay you , even from a devi's advocate perspective, you can't do better than arguing that this data pertains to both of us. So we should share the

You provided some interesting points. But now this discussion is going off-rails, as the potential issues you pointed at don't seem relevant in the case discussed here.

AFAIK, in the case of IPv6 it's not even that: there's still the open drama of the peering agreement between Cogent and Hurricane Electrics.

Depends on the license: e.g. the GPL can't be revoked, so once something gets GPL'd it remains so forever.

No, the Internet is a network made by connecting together different networks. Making it easy for different devices to talk to each other is the job of applications using such networks. I see no failure of the Internet here.
