100%. All teachers should be like this. Education should have no bias and be pure as to allow the student to learn the subjects they need for their daily life. It's a shame in the US that academic policy and the related debates seems so contrary to this. Things like standardized testing seem to be being misused and opaque to the student...like a simple thing such as getting your test results back so that you can benchmark yourself on whether you're actually learning or your teacher is actually teaching could help. McGraw Hill's ALEKS program (digital) that they're using now doesn't even let you flip back to previous chapters, or re-take tests that you screwed up on...in order to allow you to re-learn something or even test yourself.

I love how Dr. Amit gets extremely happy talking to the PhD student. He genuinely cares about spreading knowledge and seems to truly find joy in its practice.

Great video and what a great expert! So gentle and happy about his subject. Loved seeing his passion!

The teen example is like RSA/public key cryptography. The prover can "prove" they are who they are by encrypting a message with their own private key, and the verifier can verify by decrypting it with the public key. Likewise, the recipient/prover can prove they received a message that was encrypted with their own public key by decrypting it with their private key.

There's something so intriguing about watching two highly intellectual and knowledgable people have a deep conversation about a topic they mutually share experience and knowledge even though you have zero understanding of what is going. Intelligence is truly a gift and a responsbility that should be used for the betterment of mankind.

The main reason why I don't like viewing and listening to dialogues between two intellectuals addressing a complex topic they're profusely educated on, is because when you think about it to sufficiently deep extents, you can infer how jejune and monotonous the average person is. According to my experience, I can deduce that the average person has nothing unique or interesting to offer. The intelligent people have all of these exclusive privileges and opportunities that are products of high intelligence, which the average person intrinsically cannot have.

It's interesting to hear people recognize that a systemic lack of trust is one of the major problems we face, without recognizing that the way people build trust is not with math that enables them to keep not trusting each other, but by building relationships that grow our ability to be vulnerable. When I was a CS major 20 years ago, I'd have been right there with them, but since then I've come to realize that the solution to mistrust is not security, it's relationships, and ultimately vulnerability. You only really grow to trust people when you need them and see them show up for you, which necessarily means that to cultivate trust you have to be willing to need someone who might not come through. Therefore, learning how to need each other more is an essential component of building networks of trust.

Amit did an amazing job at teaching this difficult topic! Great job XD

I feel like at the PhD level they weren’t even explaining anything. And there are a bunch of questions at the freshman level that I’d want to ask. Like, in an iterated three color problem, couldn’t I as the prover just return arbitrary results? What ensures to the questioner that I’m not changing the answer behind their back?

@OrangeC7

2 жыл бұрын

@@DannoHung I was having trouble understanding why the proof worked, too. I think my problem with it was the same as yours. Because you have already chosen all of the colors in the envelopes before the verifier can pick two at random, and the verifier can visually assess that you have not tampered with the envelopes after the pair was chosen, the verifier knows that if you were lying about the 3-colorability there is a chance you have two identical colors next to each other. The key is that the verifier chose the envelopes after you have already rearranged *all* of the envelopes. Otherwise, if you knew which two envelopes the verifier would pick, you would be correct and could easily "prove" it without really having an answer

Polynomial vs Non polynomial, it just designates the time complexity of the problem, but the completeness part indicates that if you could prove that any one NP complete problem could be solved in polynomial time then they all could. Current mathematical theory suggests P doesn’t equal NP, ie none of them can be, but the meme shows up all over. The Simpsons reference it in an episode on a blackboard if you look close.

This isnot only one of the best folks you have had on here- This concept is something people don't wrap their head around- on the basis they didnt understand it was a thing. The somewhat outdated randomly seeded MD5 hash- was just this... If you have not learned about how hashing works and why seeding a hash is much more secure- it is hard to imagine how it is even possible a password is not stored as plain text- and also encoding cannot be logged and reverse engineered. It is so cool to see how else it can be used outside of storing passwords without knowing them.
