I'm optimistically going to assume that model training is per-brain, and can't cross over to other brains. Am I wrong? God I hope I'm not wrong.

My first thought is that RSA is outdated: EdDSA has 256-bit keys, and if you're lazy enough you can probably just read the equivalent of 160 of those bits without security loss (I think?). But then I remembered post-quantum crypto. Yea

So every 12 hours you'd have to go find your non-memorized password? Sounds incredibly inconvenient. Anyway, a tyrant is simply going to hold and gun to your head and tell you to go get that second password.

This sounds pretty amazing. For CPNG-aware libraries, the performance improvements sound impressive. For old (CPNG-unaware) libraries: should I expect any performance drop reading a CPNG image compared to if the image had remained PNG? Simi

How it does it (from the article): > It does so with colorimeters, which detect the color produced when certain reagents mix with those compounds. This is similar to how a woman might look for a blue or pink line on a pregnancy test.
