There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. Sure, they broke 22-bit RSA encryption. But here's the thing - that's proof that a suitably large quantum computer can break any size RSA encryption in the same amount of time it took to break 22-bit RSA encryption.

Because of the way the annealing process works, it's a known-time process, no matter how many inputs or q-bits are used. We don't have the ability to create a computer with sufficient q-bits to break anything more than 22-bit at the moment, but current estimates are that in 10 - 15 years we will have enough to break 1024-bit.

And it'll take the same amount of time as this 22-bit process took.

And that basically means we need new encryption processes within 10-15 years, that are quantum safe, or all our encryption is belong to whoever has these quantum computers.

Got it on GamePass yesterday. It runs like a dog, and that's on a 10-700k with 64GB ram, 3070 and a Sabrent Rocket 4 nvme. Even dropping to 1080 and low still hovers around 30 - 40fps with random dropouts to <10fps in 'complex' areas. Given this system can run God of War at 4K Ultra (With DLSS Balanced) at 30fps, or Black Myth: Wukong at High at 50 - 60fps, I'm going to say it's not the system at fault...

Wait for a few patches, the performance is currently not up to spec. Which is sad, because the introduction got me super hooked and I want to play more.

Aw, crapitalism will break because line cannot always go up.

Cry me a fucking river. Humanity is a cancer, and we need to be about half our current population. Yeah, we're not gonna like it when we drop that population. Our kids, my daughter, are going to have it fucking tough. But if we want to survive long term... We gotta stop.

Not that much... Gold flake is about £15 for a pack of 30 2" square sheets of gold flake for cake decorations.

Gold can be beaten to hear a few hundred atom thickness without becoming completely destroyed (https://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/JeniferVilfranc.shtml).

1oz, which is about £1,200 give or take, can make 300 square foot of leaf. This photo shoot... Isn't that expensive.

An illuminated walkway over a railway... I like the way the lights should only illuminate the path, and not spill over to over light the sky (at least, too much).

Picturesque image, thanks for sharing.

I'm academia? How about Wikipedia, an encyclopedia that should be written (at least at synopsis level) clearly and for the casual reader. However, anything mathematics related and... Fuck you, you don't know how to calculate an integral? Git gud, scrub.

In one sentence, you say, "just use a password manager", on the next, "not really an improvement if you need extra software". I'm not sure what argument you're having, but neither one really addresses what this article is about.

This keeps the passkeys in the password manager (I use dashlane, it rocks, and synchronises the passkeys just like the passwords), but this new protocol allows you to change and export the passkeys to other password managers, preventing vendor lock in and allowing for transfer to another password manager.

Hope this clarifies things! And everyone should use a password manager of some kind; we should expect whatever site we're using to be hacked, and the only way to be safe is to have a unique password per site.

How did it feel to look at yourself with a hand mirror, knowing lots would be looking at the pictures of yourself looking at yourself...

I'm a fan of lingerie, transparent and sheer clothes, and (in the right weather) thin sundresses you can see through when the light hits just right... Those are to get the motor running, the nudity is for when everything is up and running.

Visually, at least on the outside, it looks something like a Stottie, Oggie or Pastie from the farming/mining areas of the UK. I always find it fascinating to see the convergent evolution of this sort of food - edible with one hand, hot and filling, with a crust that can be discarded if hands are filthy, or et if not.

Not a big deal - the crapi was rightly viewed as such, and the puma was a rebadged fiesta; the cougar was the real car of that era. Still sucked though.
