Paper lead author here - yes, usage is multi-factorial and there are hidden factors we may not know about. You can see the Paris August holidays in our visualizations of the models, and I was recently told about Goteborg July holidays. So t

What always fascinated me about this sequence was the huge (multiplicative) gap between the exponents: 2^127 - 1 and 2^521 - 1. If that property continued after 2^20,996,011 - 1 the next one would be around 2^86,133,241-1 which is bigger th

Yes! I linked to the recent Zodiac Killer cipher solution - https://youtu.be/iuNyQ44JYxM - over many years, many people observed patterns in the cipher, and tried to determine how likely it was that each pattern was nonrand

Yes, there are strong parallels between Polya's video and the "Cryptodiagnosis" chapter. The chapter is based on a monograph called "Ars Conjectandi" ("the art of conjecturing") and Polya's video them

This book, like the MILCRYP series, is focussed on cryptanalysis of "classical" (pre-computer) ciphers. The "Principles of Cryptodiagnosis" chapter (which I think is the most interesting "reveal") is an update

Author here - actually LDC died in October 1977, the same month this book came out. So there were more texts planned in the "Military Cryptanalytics" series, but they were never published.

Copying one of my old comments from slashdot... it sounds similar to Sierra's "cpc.com". While I was reading the article I wondered if the equivalent of this process for the 6502 (BRK/COP interrupt table?) would work. Ba

Thanks for sharing that, it's good to read it in textual form. What do you make of Twombly? I've been trying to understand what there is to see in his work; I am a scientist rather than an artist and I appreciate that I may not un
