There's no false precision. There's a whopping +/- 40% error bar! What can be said is that 26% is at least less precise on average. You've added a completely arbitrary 0.32 because of some obsession with decimals.

Agner Fog mentions that the CPU assumes different registers have different values and the calculation has to be rerun if it turns out a write with one register invalidated a cached read with another register. That means you can measure this

You don't have to embed the string in the code, obviously. If you want to use a certain lib, I'm sure you can arrange for the buffer to be slightly bigger.

If you read the docs, you can see that the string must be allocated to len+SIMDJSON_PADDING bytes. I suppose that still works by accident because it's followed by other static data. EDIT: Actually, there is a parameter 'realloc_if

Please modify this: "The standard digest is 64-bits, but you can modify it to take 128-bits if you want a cryptographically secure hash." Just because it's 128-bit doesn't make it cryptographically secure.

Then I don't know why you brought up Merlin at all because there's no Merlin engines involved in this anomaly. The Crew Dragon is not as revolutionary as other things they're doing, but it does have an integrated abort system

Merlin is also the highest thrust-to-weight engine ever, by a large margin. F-1 could produce a lot of thrust because it was huge, not because it was efficient. But that's stuff they've already accomplished. You're ignoring w

There's an event in competitions called "fewest moves" where you have one hour to find the shortest solve of a particular scramble. Just a month ago Harry Savage managed to beat the world record and find a 17-move solve. 20 m

No, it's extremely unlikely that debris would be propelled from low-earth orbit and hit a tiny satellite over 35000 km away.

Note that a 64,000 kg payload LEO launch doesn't cost $90 million because it would have to fly expendable.

I think you're confusing the key/seed with the output. The paper is about key sizes, not hash output sizes. Again, if you claim it's trivial to recover the seed in "almost all use cases", you should be able to demon

The WOOL 2009 paper where it takes days to attack a 14-bit key is irrelevant for attacking a 64-bit key. They even say that 32 bits would make the attack infeasible. Offline attacks to find collisions are irrelevant because revealing the ke

Unless it's not clear, the size of that offset would be about the same size as whatever you wanted to encode.

From the readme: "SipHash is not secure enough for security purposes" There's been nothing published to that effect, even though he has claimed for years that he can recover bits from the seed.

I don't see how this enables any orchestration that other signals do not. There's still decoherence. It must have been among the weakest objections to Orch-OR. Knocking down the weakest counter-argument (which sounds like a strawm

You didn't read very carefully. 1/I/i/L/l are all interpreted as 1, so it doesn't matter which one they are misreading it as. Do you contest that l can be misread as 1 or I? Because that's what the table m
