AI Thread Summary
The equation to solve is 5260862 = M*H^y % 20876441, with given values M = 20192834 and y = 17. The main focus is on correcting the order of operations in the calculations. Participants are seeking guidance on how to implement the solution in Python, specifically looking for a function that can handle modular arithmetic effectively. There is an emphasis on using the mod_inverse function, and clarifications on the allowed Python modules are requested to facilitate the coding process.

Solve this Equation for H: 5260862 = M*H^y % 20876441

Where y = 17, and M = 20192834? My H value is wrong from my previous tries.

I think my order of operations is wrong. Function for code would be helpful. Already familiar with mod_inverse. (Python 3)

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
