I'm in the same boat as you, having only read non-fiction the past few years. It appears quite ironic that the entertainment occurring in the real life events is surpassing the entertainment I hear one usually derives from fiction.
That's a good point. I've added to the post. It's simple enough I'd expect anyone who wants to do it can follow the docs from CADO-NFS, which are very good, but I can write it down explicitly.
Install CADO-NFS per upstream directions.
Get the number you want to factor. I just did this in a python repl, something like:
from cryptography import x509
f = open("gold-server.pem", "rb").read()
print(x509.load_pem_x509_certificate(f).public_key().public_numbers().n)
That gets you the `n` to factor - The big number below.
Then pass it to CADO-NFS. The full invocation for the server root was:
Why? I feel it kinda implies what the approach is. Could definitely be worse, strongly prefer this over just giving the thing a random-ass name like Laguna.
> Hydra (sometimes stylized as HYDRA) is a fictional terrorist organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.[…] Hydra is taken over and turned into a neo-fascist international crime syndicate by Baron Wolfgang von Strucker.
With all due respect, but I'm not letting some newfangled comic taint/monopolize a perfectly usable name that's been used to describe many-headed-thing (water snake) for over two millennia.
I don't think I could ever go back to running an e-mail server again, given the continually evolving battle with convincing the major e-mail providers that your IP is legit (I'm looking at you AT&T!).
I wonder if you put job classifications along a spreadsheet's leftmost column (e.g. search in file, search in directory), and data types along a spreadsheet's topmost row (e.g. JSON file, macOS-based filesystem), would you end up finding gaps in the intersection of the columns and rows make these new tools you've created less surprising? For example, to "search a file" on a "macOS-based filesystem", you would naturally gravitate towards `grep`. Or to search the contents of a JSON file, you would maybe use `grep`, or perhaps `jq` and a well crafted query. Well, as you expand out the job classifications and data types (or some other abstraction), you start to realize where we don't have tools today. And then Claude can go and create those, perhaps even proposing a faster alternative!
Is this perhaps because the aim is to read Office documents and there are (maybe, I don't know for sure) default components within Windows that can do that?
Notably: this did not exist after I installed the app, it existed after I ran the app and there was the long startup screen. Presumably, and I'm not sure I'm interested enough to redo it all and find out, that long startup screen involves the default skills plugins setting up their environment and one of those pulls it as a general app requirement.
I also saw this present after first run on macOS but not Windows.

>The big milestone is when computers can read and understand information like humans do. There is a lot of work going on in this field - Google, Microsoft, Facebook, academia,... Right now computers don't know how to represent knowledge so they can't read a text book and pass a test.
>Another whole area is vaccines. We need a vaccine for HIV, Malaria and TB and I hope we have them in the next 10-15 years.
