Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

(I realize other comments downthread have already addressed some of this, no slight to others intended)

so, PQC is definitely not snakeoil, and it's actually seen uptake in a lot of things over recent years (just off the top of my head: openssh 9.0 in 2022, evolving work in implementations in TLS ciphers, etc (and as much as I fucking dislike cloudflare, they are actively funding a lot of forward-looking cryptographic work - thus being one to link to)). but as with all things cryptography, it's a moving and changing field

the industry's first post-quantum encryption

I suspect in this statement, "the industry" is load-bearing and inspecific, and resolves as "the industry of things that do what zoom do". it is a highly vague statement though, and I 🤨 at it being used as it was where it was

(e: I did look up their actual announcement about this; "UCaaS" kill me)

I'm reticent to make any further specific claims/statements re the rest of PQC, since while it is one of my areas of interest and in which I keep relatively informed, I'm also not a cryptographer by trade and consider my knowledge at best armchair-competent. pretty damn interesting field though, if you have any interest in math or cryptography it's well worth diving into it sometime :)
