       @dalias There's a difference though; the theory is not bullshit, the obstacles to QC are practical. Given infinite time to work on this (which we don't have, fossil fuel and rare metal reserves will depleted in ~20 years and we'll be lucky to still have a civilization in 50) a real quantum computer could be built; whereas the foundation for the other bubbles was pure hype built on wind and astroturfing.But it doesn't change anything in practice, QC won't happen. We'll reach cold fusion first. 😔

       @dalias I certainly notice how people going off about QC are almost entirely uninterested in the very real issues with MFA and device beased authentication. In fact... I have noticed it seems almost exclusively used to either distract from more present security problems or to advertise passkeys.

       @dalias @ska i think the thing people need to understand is that you need enough qubits to hold enough state to factor the key.right now they are factoring 22-bit RSA keys with like 150 qubits or whatever.i'm not going to lose any sleep over this, we can just migrate to 4096-bit RSA keys and be fine for the next decade at least.

       @dalias @ska also, quite a few of these elliptic curves have been found to be problematic

       @dalias @ska yes, same, and the brainpool curves.
