They can do this in people, too, not just LLMs.

Imagine the mistakes that can be made by changing one fact but not reconfiguring the whole network.

Thhese guys remind me of when I used to change EXEs in hex editors then notice "unrelated" weird glitches.

Feeling left out?

That's 66 bits of entropy. With a quantum computer having 66 logical (error corrected) qubits, the pass phrase can be cracked in under a day.

That's not too far off, maybe a few years before one is commercially available.

get it from the horse's mouth, as they say... instead of baselessly pontificating on HN and not understanding the diff between algorithm and implementation

"even if these attacks aren't feasible against current algorithms" lol, ok, if you say so....

2048 words in 6 positions is simply not enough entropy for the NSA's encryption cracking infrastructure. If it is worth it they'll crack it. The NSA does not use a single ASIC cracker.

not the algorithm. the various implementations of it. evidence? ask a friend.

Why would they have Suite A then?

You can't trust what sama says. Period. He's shown his willingness to deceive for gain. He deleted the codex model because it was better than the text model and only way to explain it is that by training on code instead of just text of human interactions the model develops stronger reasoning abilities (because of higher clarity around logic and higher signal to noise overall in the training data.) So he removed that so researchers don't catch on. Also, why 1 Trillion params is the limit? Why not 2 Trillion. He's been begging for regulations and trying to pull up the ladder behind him. Just really "street smart" thinking but I have not seen any elevated humanity serving thinking coming form him. He would not have taken $100M for a non-profit to do open source research only to bait-and-switch into for profit closed source sold to the highest bidder. Give me a break. Don't believe anything he says (well, use your brain, as he may mix truths and deceptions with the goal of deceiving his competitors... he's not out there to do a service for humanity... if he was, he would have kept it open and non-profit, not basically steal the funds of the non-profit to pocket $29B from it.) It's ridiclous.

The worst thing about HN (and it does reflect badly on YC as a whole, at least for me) is how they enable people to act in seemingly passive aggressive ways. Instead of stating disagreements, they downvote, and you'll never know why. Just pure crappy behavior. In this case, someone explained below that they downvoted because they don't agree that the article is propaganda and that it calls for less backdoors or something like that as if everything isn't backdoored already, one way or another.

Then you have stuff like BIP39 protecting people's money (cryptocurrency) that can be cracked for $350/hr on GPU rigs. Someone even wrote a how-to.

Current security makes it harder, but not sufficiently harder, to break into systems. I mean... HN crowd is probably high schoolers and non-tech people just out here to argue.

You just got validated. Does that mean you're desperate? or anxious? or even sick in the head?

But the person is complaining about people complaining. I find it ironic.
