I must be missing something here, there are 25 unique dice that can be permuted, each can have six potential sides showing, and 4 potential orientations of the displayed face... So (25!)×(25×6×4) ? Isn't that more like only 93 bits?
Well obviously harder to scan from a phone, I think a deck of playing cards would be easier to acquire and store. Shuffling 27 would give you 93 bits, shuffling the full 52 would be ~226.
Never mind, with the benefit if sleep I see an error in my math.
Still, I wonder if a similar thing could be done by shuffling a deck of cards, and then riffling the results past a good camera so that an app can recognize the sequence in order. Perhaps it would be vulnerable to common shuffling mistakes?
Yeah, this explains why this cryptography paper was published in a ML conference. Any reasonable reviewer would reject this as not providing sufficient security.
It's pretty upfront about being a novelty project done by a self-described non-crypto expert, and I don't see any assertions of it guaranteeing any degree of sufficiency/security or claiming any such NextBigThing(TM) hype.
Just because a paper is published doesn't mean it wasn't done for fun/the hell of it.
1. Pay attention to the first 2-3 columns, the ones the user immediately sees. E.g. short or hidden id, short but readable name, useful next column (e.g. sales or views or whatever is the most useful data).
2. Put columns that need to be evaluated together close to each other. On desktop it's easy to see 2 numbers even if there's a column in the middle, on mobile it may require scrolling horizontally.
In summary, just focus on what people want to see at a glance and make it easier for them.
I'm just a user suffering the pain, this is an example of a table I need/want to monitor and it's very poorly done, I need total revenue = sum of column 5 + 7, on mobile it's a very bad experience due to column 6 in the middle, unnecessary width of some columns with repeated text, etc.

There’s a picture at the bottom. I think the text there is a bit more clear (maybe?): you have a cubic surface and want to see if there’s any “straight line” that lives/lies on the surface. It turns out there’s 27 lol.
