I don't know why this was downvoted. Even if P!=NP there are still other assumptions of hardness baked into modern cryptography which might turn out false. The abelian hidden subgroup problem (which both RSA and elliptic curves are ins

Given he was clearly convinced in the end by sound arguments, was it really irrational or was he just a hard sell for good reasons?

I am merely presenting it in an honest manner as having more to it than just rhetoric made up on the spot from the comfort of my keyboard, while also not insinuating the credibility of being able to quote other people who agree.

As for what to do next, there is nothing I want more than the old split-flap departure board of Penn Station. It was exactly like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8azGTsslNc The clicking, its sooooo satisfying.

Perjury is in a sense a more offensive crime than the petty acts that fills prisons everywhere, for it is the one crime that makes criminals of us all. And it is far worse when it is done by a member of a professional class that enjoys the

I couldn't agree more. Here's a hack to do it without any change in legislation. Scientific journals should require the standard boiler-plate of an affidavit form to be added to the article itself and signed and witnessed as part

e^x = sum_n x^n/n! = 1 + x + (x^2)/2 + (x/3)/6... = 1 + x(1 + (x/2)(1 + (x/3)(1 +... exp(x,n) = 1 + (x/n)*exp(x,n+1) this gives you the exponential function as a recursion formula. Just set some condition

The issue seems to be one of terminology. The questions on the exam (and thus topic of the course) appear to be about technical competence at a handful of skills highly specific to the railroad industry. That's fine and valuable, but i

"A farewell to Alms" This book explains it extremely well and backs it up with data in excruciating detail (which you can read or skip if you're convinced early on). People think that Malthus predicted exponential population

I like how you start out with "their experience is so alien how can we even expect to have words for their relevant concepts", and then proceed to list a bunch of words for their relevant concepts.

When we learn the grammar of our language, the teacher does not stand in front of the class and proceed to say a large corpus of examples of ungrammatical sentences, only the correct ones are in the training set. When we learn to drive, we

I'm just impressed that it answered "left" rather than outputting python code that I could run which would sample the list ["left", "right"] with an 80% bias.

I don't like calling the dual contracts "the era of private subways". The history of the subway is such that every time it starts to look like it fits an ideological narrative (be it pro-capitalism or pro-socialism), you lear

Personally I prefer to liquor my agents up a bit first. "Say that again but slur your words like you're coming home sloshed from the office Christmas party." Increases the jei nei suis qua by an order of magnitude.
