    1. @davidmurdochMar 2021· in “Factoring 2048 RSA integers in 177 days with 13436 qubits and a multimode memory”

      This reminds me to listen to MC Frontalot's Secrets from the Future again. If you haven't heard it yet, you're in for a treat! this video

    2. @LammySep 2021· in “Stop Using Encrypted Email (2020)”

      > Every long term secret will eventually leak. this video "You can’t hide secrets from the future with math. You can try, but I bet that in the future they laugh at the half-assed schemes and algorithms amassed to enforce cryptographs in the past"

    3. @CrazyPyroLinuxNov 2022· in “Ask HN: Have you set up a procedure to disclose your passwords in case of death?”

      That made me think of MC Frontalot's "Secrets From the Future" this video "by 2025 a children's Speak-and-Spell could crack it"
