Pick an encryption method that we know is vulnerable to quantum computers.

Encrypt a drive with it, and fill it up with a bunch of stuff currently important to you.

Conveniently forget the decryption key, put the drive in storage.

Perhaps one day you’ll be able to open this time capsule. ​

Pe Lang has a temporary exhibition in Paris (in https://www.deniserene.fr/) until ~first week of July: https://bibliogram.art/p/Cdf2MDjseRm

Pe Lang makes artifacts that, for me, show some nonobvious or obvious-but-often-overlooked physical property. https://www.pelang.ch/works.html has some examples (but even not the ones I liked most when I saw his exhibition in, sadly defunct, museum of digital art in Zürich).

it's crazy: the first cultural experience of metrics, tracking and the politics of proxies is not in social media. it is being graded at school.

.hg i want a way to put E into tapioca pearls so that we can have

booba tea

I'F YOU CAN'T HANDLE ME AT MY WOR'ST....
THAT'S OKAY!!;

-I CAN BE A LOT SOMETIMES
-ONE TIME I CRIED BECASUE A LIZERD WAS TO CUTE
-YOUR NOT MY THERRAPIST
-I HAVE OTHER SUPPORT SYSTEM'S
-WHAT IF WERE BOTH IN A BAD MOOD AND WE FIGHT OVER WHO FORGOT TO PUT AWAY THE BAG OF CHIPS
-WE CAN JUST PLAY MINECRAFT LATER ITLL BE A GOOD HANG

helo if you’ve been following us for a while you may already have the powderpaint EP and be waiting for the next one (new singles coming very soon!!), but if not, today, being bandcamp friday, where 100% proceeds go to the artist, is the day to do it

Mastodon: 70% shit posting, 20% talking about how mastodon is cooler than bird site, 5% rants about website boy, and 5% really cool, in depth posts by NASA scientists.

all windowsills should be big enough to fit humans. why let cats have all the fun

I fucking love being infodumped at by cute nerds tbh

I wonder if we can construct a family of (increasingly large) semigroups of second-preimage resistant one-way functions. More precisely, I would like to have an indexed family (let's denote the index by i) of semigroups of functions (where the semigroup operation is composition) such that:
- i-th semigroup has size >= i,
- the members of the i-th semigroup can be described by natural numbers from a range of size poly(i),
- there are algorithms polynomial in input size that:
a) read i, descriptions of two functions from the i-th semigroup and output the description of their composition,
b) read i, description of a function from i-th semigroup, an input, and evaluate the function,
- the functions in i-th semigroup are resistant to second preimage attacks with security parameter log(i) [^].

tl;dr I want families of efficiently composable hash functions.

#cryptography

[^] I could just as well request a family indexed by i and the security parameter separately (and have all the complexities be poly(input size + security parameter)). This is equivalent.

.hg that's not the only instantiation of this abstract idea either! for another one, contrast typical mono people with…heck, even other mono creatures who are chill. the ones who can admire creatures outside their relationship because they don't harbor a culture of jealousy and mistrust. “whoa, they're cute” doesn't mean “I'm going to abandon you and all of the state and history of our relationship and go chase them”. it doesn't even mean “I want to date them”.

it just means they're cute.

@alexandra this furthers my theory that type theory is just gender for variables
