But say (simplying greatly) the public key tells my computer to multiply my text by a prime number

If the prime number is already known from the public key, then why is any computation required? To decrypt it can't I (or anyone else) just divide by the prime? Even with a significantly more complex calculation, can't you just work the steps back in reverse using the instructions from the public key?

I'm playing through Okami on Switch. It's such a beautiful game! Love the wacky characters.

I'm also most of the way though Paradise Killer on Steam Deck. It has Danganronpa vibes but with a more vaporwave design and some great music.

Finally I've recently started Subnautica on PS4. I've got my first little habitat set up and a Seamoth!

Whoa, beautiful visualisation!

I'm not familiar with this work, but it seems like a fascinating topic and still as relevant today as it was back then. Thanks for the summary/review.

I guess something like this (data stored on glass plates 'Project Silica') would store the data safely for a much longer period. What I'm not entirely clear on is whether it would still be possible to read that data in the far future - it seems to rely on some kind of machine learning to decode it.

Do you reckon the physical copies would last longer than digital?

You should take a look at the Dragon Quest builders games. Depending on your platform you might be able to try the demo out.

Ah gotcha! Yeah it's pretty neat seeing the ways in which the instances intermingle. Some communities stay pretty niche and used only by local users with the same interests, whereas others are melting pots of every instance. I guess it's a bit like a society with little towns and bigger cities.

Root federated?

Thanks, this is a good summary. It's useful to know about the dynamically changing route - that explains a lot.

Have you played it on Switch? I'm wondering what the best version is to play. Annoyingly on PC it's only available via Epic games store...

Updating the controller firmware fixed things for me! Give that a try

I ended up using a windows PC to do it - and the latest firmware appears to have fixed all my issues :)

Updating the controller firmware has vastly improved it! I recommend trying that out if you haven't already.

Escape from what??

Interesting article, and a worrying trend. Stamping a bit of text like 'Generated by Midjourney' is ridiculously weak protection though. I wonder if some kind of hidden visual data could be embedded within AI images - like a QR code that can be read by computers but is invisible to humans.

Just found the wikipedia page for steganography. Have any AI companies tried using this technique I wonder? 🤔

The first image is kinda low res, and I initially read it as:

Remove him from the brownie. Slit him over chicken. Cook on HIGH.

Is penis a valid substitute or would I need to take any supplements?

Ah yeah this and @MelastSB@sh.itjust.works 's comment clarify the routing table thing. Before I was assuming they just blindly forwarded stuff until one router knows where to go, but if they have a rough idea from the IP address prefix that makes more sense.

That sounds like quite a messy and inefficient process! But I guess as long as it can be done quickly enough, it doesn't really matter?
