Problem with CTR is that it is not a block-based cypher, which means you cannot append to existing file. For example if you have multipart file uploads, this would just not work. Also CTR lacks checksum integrity, it only XORs the bytes. An

I spent quite a lot of time on that one, for obvious reasons. But in general it is not too hard. The GCM is a block-based cypher with built-in checksum, unlike CTR, which is a streaming one. So all you need to do is have a fixed block size

That is not what it says. They only said they had no bounty program to attract people to try and find bugs. That does not mean companies are not willing to compensate you if you find and report a bug in their system. I think 150k was well w

I've done few formats myself. Nothing complicated. But once you do one, all others are essentially the same. You need length of data, data itself and then likely version and magic bytes for identification purposes. With those few detai

You are mixing debit and credit cards here. Debit cards have essentially no protection, only credit cards as they are literally loans and lenders invest in protection of their debtors to make them popular.

I absolutely agree. I have designed the platform to use wallets, so I never involve a third party in my business or the business of the content creators and risk being financially deplatformed(famously often done by Stripe and Paypal). I wa

I remember. But you forgot one fact - the amount of users online was miniscule compared to what we have today. That is the bane of everything - saturation. You keep diluting a good thing until only a faint memory of it remains.

Happiness is ephemeral. Seeking it in itself is a low IQ behavior, therefore it is an antithesis to "smart people". What "smart people" actually seek is content, which can be had in abundance.

They would require some kind of built-in OCR. And I can easily see this having a strong potential for security bugs. On the other hand, I'd like to have such support, especially on mobile phone in order to bypass the need to use the ph

I have no problem with them. Though whenever I see one, all I think is that someone overpaid for a domain name because .com was taken. By the way, about 95% of .com domains are squatters, which pisses me off to no end.

It is not just about a base. It is about binary tech essentially having only two states while there is an infinite amount of information present between that 0 and that 1 which is completely lost, and the whole system is essentially killed

That's why I mentioned the analog model because with digital, you have a quartz oscillator where you measure 1 or 0 at each frame of the cycle. So the information travels in queues, step by step, one bit at a time. But with analog, eve

I was thinking about this some time ago and came to the conclusion that it is utterly impossible to talk about creating sentient AI with the binary computer technology that we are using today. In order for us to create sAI, our entire techn
