adding to that, I currently see the internet as a "noise-first" kind of library, transformed from one that had little signal but where noise was sparse too
at the same time, (some of) the awesome people are still here, and they're still doing amazing stuff :)
> Let us remark that the modulus-noise ratio achieved by our quantum algorithm is still too large to break the public-key encryption schemes based on (Ring)LWE used in practice. In particular, we have not broken the NIST PQC standardization candidates. For example, for CRYSTALS-Kyber [BDK+18], the error term is chosen from a small constant range, the modulus is q = 3329, the dimension is n = 256 · k where k ∈ {3, 4, 5}, so we can think of q as being almost linear in n. For our
algorithm, if we set αq ∈ O(1), then our algorithm applies when q ∈ Ω^~(n^2), so we are not able to break CRYSTALS-Kyber yet. We leave the task of improving the approximation factor of our quantum algorithm to future work.
