CIS isn't a made up acronym, it's an prefix directly from original Latin.

The Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning 'on this side of', which is the opposite of trans-, meaning 'across from' or 'on the other side of'. This usage can be seen in the cisâ"trans distinction in chemistry, the cis and trans sides of the Golgi apparatus in cellular biology, the ancient Roman term Cisalpine Gaul (i.e. 'Gaul on this side of the Alps'), and Cisjordan (as distinguished from Transjordan).

But you sounded arrogant and sure of yourself when you spouted complete BS, and with the zeitgeist ranging from Trump to LLMs, you certainly nailed the modern era nicely.

Grover's algorithm apparently scales by order sqrt(N).

So I guess for 4 kb RSA, maybe that becomes 1.4 million noisy qubits and 10 days.

Both those numbers seem crazy large to me given where current state of the art Quantum computing is.

Holding a quantum state for a week while Grover's algorithm runs all it's iterations seems very, very far away to me.

"Hollywood" blockbusters that were filmed at Pinewood UK and would presumably attract this tariff:
  • - Avengers: Endgame,
  • - Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens,
  • - Avengers: Infinity War,
  • - Spider-Man: No Way Home,
  • - Jurassic World...

I don't think the Trump administration understands how modern films are made.
