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.

Not sure what you think my "different premises" are? Also I obviously already know that Shor's algorithm solves the discrete log problem. I don't know why you phrased your comment assuming I'm an idiot.

I will say that, speaking as an idiot, I appreciated the information and the accessibility of many of these very technical conversations here is one of the elements of this community I appreciate. I would be very surprised if it had been meant as any kind of dig instead of explicitly clarifying a usually-unstated bit of context.
