      I'm incredibly disappointed.

              I wasn't gonna say anything because I've been guilty of letting a few naughty words slip out now and then, but that... Does his mama know about that mouth of his?

                  I must say, I nearly got the vapors when I saw KG spew for that ... that... I can't even repeat what he said, but... I need to go lie down.

                    Here is a youtube video about the library of babel, explaining it a bit. warning there is a bad word in it.



                    And this video explains how it works.

                        That's really helpful. Clever and amusing stuff.

                          I was thinking, a website like this would be a great way for spies to communicate with each other. All they would need is the hex address and the location in the library of the page and they could go there and read any 32K message, or find any image, without actually transmitting any clear information to the other person.

                            Math is a science. I don't think we have any forums dedicated to mathematics.

                              Couldn't they do virtually the same thing with any website people post on without bothering to go to the LoB?

                                But then they would be posting in the clear. I am talking about say, just emailing a string of garbage to someone and they using that to decrypt the message on say a copy of the library of babel on the dark web. Anyone intercepting the email would just get a load of garbage, they would need to know the location of the "library" on the dark web, and also the "wall, shelf and volume number" in order to decrypt it. I guess they could just just use an app like whatsapp that encrypts both ends, but this would be an extra layer of sneakiness.
