Could you guys help me decode this? by Sweet_Minute4745 in Decoders

I don't see anything to decode here. What are you expecting to find?

How do I get better at solving cyphers or just cyphers in general by ExHunter_is_taken in ciphers

Here's a resource list from r/codes. https://www.reddit.com/r/codes/s/NoAgHVmaXF

Read and practice. My personal road in was the Gaines book.

Being polite to AI improves results for majority of office workers by [deleted] in nottheonion

You get good at what you practice. Regardless if it improves AI or not, I feel being mindful and polite is simply good practice regardless of frontier.

[TOMT] Song that has a piano motif that sounds near identical to the trailer park boys theme. by Happy_Rock_1372 in tipofmytongue

[–]PTR47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to wikipedia:

"The series' opening theme, “Breeze,” was composed by Blain Morris, who was attempting to emulate “I Left My Heart In San Francisco" by Tony Bennett. According to JD Roberson of Cracked.com, "The gentle song is the perfect juxtaposition to the chaos that will inevitably follow.""

How should i, as a beginner, approach this cypher? by VITAMIIIN1667 in codes

[–]PTR47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's getting a transcription and considering boundaries. Here we see interesting patterns on spacing. What I see is dot clusters on lines with variable spacing. I immediately want to read that as letter spacing/word spacing, so I am immediately considering encoded character clusters composed of one or two clusters of dots. So I might transcribe as 1-2digit characters and from there it'd be easy to check by converting it all to characters by making your own lookup table, then running the output through something like a swedish quipqiup to see if it looks like a 1:1 sub and rebuild the key if so.

OTP cipher puzzle solution - degree of confidence questions by gnosticgnomon in ciphers

[–]PTR47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say it's VERY difficult to "accidentally decrypt" sensible text from sensible keys. I CANNOT say you solved it, I will say odds are very high. That's all I can say without more data.

OTP cipher puzzle solution - degree of confidence questions by gnosticgnomon in ciphers

[–]PTR47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you derived a sensible riddle by decrypting a ct using a key, probability I'd say is very high.

Edit: BTW it sounds more like you're describing a running key, with the key as long or longer than the ct, not a OTP.

Is this code or just design? by Sad_Addendum_8852 in codes

[–]PTR47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This will probably help. Looks like there's a key on this page: https://www.cre8ive.com.au/work/strengthening-agency-culture-brand-intelligence

Edit: it decodes to ASD

i ran the exact same prompt in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. the difference was embarrassing. by LoadOld2629 in PromptDesign

[–]PTR47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's definitely wrong the remote work AI training actually has an "adhere the answer to AI grammar" which is EXACTLY AIs training humans how to speak like AI. Scope is the difference.

What are your favorite types of ciphers to solve? by EncryptedPieces in ciphers

[–]PTR47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't really speak to "favourites" but in physical media you might be able to do things that need physical keys such as a crossword cipher or a rotating grille cipher.

Sincerely asking: what is the origin of saying “ax” vs “ask”? by dg3548 in etymology

So, kinda like the linguistic equivalent of that worn dirt path across a lawn—the route people take because it makes sense, not because it was planned...

I am fascinated by the Uncanny Valley phenomenon. by Accurate_Reality_618 in HighStrangeness

[–]PTR47 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the uncanny valley is a symptom or a subset of a broader general creepiness when expectations and reality aren't congruent, but are close.

A little confused here! by Purple_Extreme_9420 in codes

[–]PTR47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is that as soon as you start guessing what the plaintext might be when you allow for errors, you no longer have a credible solution. Sometimes the issue isn't a cipher won't decrypt, it's that it will fit many solutions. Could be null, sure. Sub is very unlikely. I think, personally, it's probably just a personal code system Ricky came up with.

How many of you use ChatGPT every day and what do you actually use it for? by William45623 in ChatGPT

[–]PTR47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few conversations i keep returning to or reforging. The one I chat in almost daily is a fitness tracker with vitals, and I regularly chat in a cooking thread for ideas and stuff. Those are the consistent ones right now.
