Ciro Santilli 35 Updated 2025-03-28 +Created 1970-01-01This post-quantum cryptography competition by NIST is a huge milestone of the field.
It was mind blowing when in 2022, after several years of selection, one of the 7 finalists was broken on a classical computer, not even in a quantum computer! news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30466063 | eprint.iacr.org/2022/214 Breaking Rainbow Takes a Weekend on a Laptop by Ward Beullens. Dude announced he had a break a few days before submission: twitter.com/WardBeullens/status/1492780462028300290 On Twitter. He's so young. Epic.
Edit: and then, after the third round, things were a bit unclear, so they made a fourth round with 4 choices out of the 7 from round 3, and in August 2022 one of the four was broken again on a classic CPU!!!

This is about the polarization of a string in 3D space. That is the first concept of polarization you must have in mind!
Organelle that is only present in prokaryotes.

Missileers by BBC (2000)
Source. Documentary about American ICBM crews working on the Francis. E. Warren Air Force Base. Wiki mentions that there are 3 main sites in the USA, and plainshumanities.unl.edu/encyclopedia/doc/egp.ii.042 suggests all/most of them are in the Great Plains area. They operate a Minuteman system, which as of 2021 is the only nuclear ICBM system in the USA.
Good documentary, shows well the day-to-day life of the operator, including outside of the work site.
- youtu.be/w1tMx27Q4O0?t=1390 they drive 100 miles to get to work. They do 8 alerts per month.
- youtu.be/w1tMx27Q4O0?t=1473 the actual missiles are a few miles away from the control center, scattered in a few different locations
- youtu.be/w1tMx27Q4O0?t=1619 they have a television in there at least. Presumably a pre-recorded selection.
How does an MRI machine work? by Science Museum (2019)

Source. - youtu.be/TQegSF4ZiIQ?t=326 the magnet is normally always on for the entire lifetime of the equipment!
- youtu.be/TQegSF4ZiIQ?t=465 usage of non-ionizing radiation (only radio frequencies) means that it is very safe to use. The only dangerous part is the magnetic field interacting with metallic objects.
Dr Mansfield's MRI MEDICAL MARVEL by BBC
. Source. Broadcast in 1978. Description:Tomorrow's World gave audiences a true world first as Dr Peter Mansfield of the University of Nottingham demonstrated the first full body prototype device for Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allowing us to see inside the human body without the use of X-rays.
