I found a weakness in 4096-bit encryption. While the number of possible keys is very large (2^4096), in order to get good scrambling, the key must have an equal ratio of 0s and 1s. The number of keys that have that property is less than 100,000, and so are vulnerable to a brute force attack.
A Rubik’s cube has 6 faces; each with 3 layers. So because 6 x 3 = 18, any scrambled stated is no more than 18 moves away from the solved stated (this assumes the orientation of the center squares stays the same).

Doesn’t that presume foreknowledge of the ratio of ones to zeros?
If you’re lacking that, how can you limit your solution set?

Thanks CPRM. If only the main political parties could get along so well together. They would have us broke and loving it. H and H can start dog training classes at the White House. Take command of the Commander.

Disney has postponed The Marvels for what I believe is now the 6th time. Clearly demonstrating much confidence in the film. It has now been pushed entirely out of 2023.
There’s a handsome fella she does a commercial with for their newest electric SUV and “I dunno what that is…a coupe, maybe?”
He’s not Ms. “Smile more, will ya?”, so that makes him far more interesting (and believable) as a pitchman.

I think we’ll see more of that, as the studios spread out distribution so they don’t vomit out everything this year and have nothing for next year. That’s what happened during the previous strike.
The funniest part will be if the strike lasts long enough and the well runs dry, the studios will start cannibalizing things like unaired pilots and streaming series being recut into features.

Disney is more concerned about spreading out their losses. Movie division has about a billion lost already this year and Captain Marvel as it stands needs to make about 5700 million just to break even. They will have lost their run-up marketing completely by the time they release this. It’s money already spent.
This screams they know they have a flop.

I was just nodding off now, and when I came to it got me to thinking that I went to bed last night with a good book and when I pulled it up on my Kindle during my morning ablutions today… I had no memory of reading the current page or several previous pages.
It was then that I remembered that there is a reason why I don’t read in bed.

My problem is that my last pair is bifocals which suck at both near and far*. I need something dedicated to computer work which is after all where I spend most of my time.

I’ve been wearing tri-focals for 40 years. I have trouble between 2-6 feet. Now my glasses are so thick you can see COKE on the lens when there is a reflection.
In honor of CPRM’s talent…OK, and the AI’s, too (credit where it’s due, and all that).
Anyway, in honor of the talent on display, I wanted to share with the lot of you someone who–you know those people sprinkled around the world that just seem to be able to do anything, and do everything really well? As in, when you see what they can accomplish, craft-wise, you just want to a) suddenly take up every hobby in the world because you’re now inspired to create, or b) just end it all, because you know you’re never gonna get within a country mile of the raw talent you’ve just witnessed?
Now, considering how I’m not around much, I’d easily believe his channel has been shared here, prior to this. But I’m sharing it anyway, because I want to make sure someone here sees this mad b****** genius, who’s only separated from CPRM in terms of physical space.
Now, If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go take stock of my life as I approach a “year of weeks….of years”….or, whatever clever way there is of saying 52. And, C; I’ll email you back here in a couple of days, give or take.
Argh! I forgot–I’d suggest a ‘watch order’ of 2nd, 3rd, then 1st for Bobby’s projects. I think that’s best, but, do it however suits ya, in keeping with the ethos of this site.

It’s set up so you can only access it from specific IP addresses so folks can’t clock in from their cell phone while they’re still in bed. At the end of the day yesterday, Resident IT guy suddenly got the idea that maybe not all of those addresses had been restored when they brought the site back up (after presumably resolving a potential security breach.)

This had all the excitement of a current-year Hollywood blockbuster. Well done, fellow chat room participant.
You had the family friendly filter on?

Hello Hat, you are awesome.
Yes , hello Hair, you are awesome too.
We are both awesome.

Those are rookie numbers. We can get those numbers up. If I were running things we could have four crashes in a day.
Mornin’, U. I heard that in Trump’s voice.
Well, that was the intended parody.
Mornin’, reprobates!
Good morning, ‘patzie (and U!) How are you rollin’ today?
I was almost late to work from oversleeping.
Yikes! 😳
Luckily it’s a remote day, so I was able to connect before the start of my shift.
Whew! Going to get a chance to fix yourself a balanced breakfast?
No.
😞
Balanced breakfast = eggs AND bacon.
I need to restock my house with food, but I can order delivery for breakfast.
Sorry, GP, you can’t leave out the cheese.
👍🏼🥓🍳🧀
Mornin’. New data issues at $employer, I will be doing some troubleshooting shortly. I love puzzles, and I get paid to solve them!
Big fun! 😃 As long as you don’t have too many coworkers and/or managers breathing down your neck, that is.
Top of the morning to you all.
And back atcha, everyone!
Funeral today for a classmate, they just don’t make ’em like they used to. At least this year we can go to say goodbye.
So where’s the bottom of the morning?
Just before noon.
