I'm not gonna dig up the links since I'm sure y'all're already tired of talking about quantum computing. I am going to insist that, while I professionally disagree with Filippo about plenty of things, I do not see any mistakes in their analysis here. Please start thinking about post-quantum cryptographic tooling today.

Would an idiot know the difference between abelian and non-abelian group theory? I wasn't trying to underestimate you; I agreed with your position and provided a tangent that opens up your position without compromising it. Next time I'll explicitly say "yes, and" if that will help.

Ok next time you should really not do the "lucky 10000" bit, it comes off as very condescending especially if the person you're talking to already knows the thing you're telling them.
