I just flipped through that 3blue1brown video again, and as it turns out, the actual part where he talks about multi-argument XOR happens in part two (it's barely touched on at the very end as he's introducing part two). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3NxrZOu_CE Honestly though, the full video is well worth watching. More modern error correction systems are slightly different, but will still be built on many of the same principles. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
