(offtopic - misunderstood comment. Let's assume the parent comment said 'we should prevent bruteforcing') As the other commenter said, there's nothing you can do to prevent brute forcing. What you can do, is have a ve

I acknowledged that the school isn't well known. There is also something called Google where you can search for things you don't know about. Sorry about talking down but you have seemed to miss the entire point of my argument. Eve

Overall ranking is 190 (I assume you're looking at this[1]). Ranking by subject, it is at 51 in many subjects. That's because Indian Institutions tend to neglect fields other than mainstream Tech/Science because that's a

@dang why was the post title edited? It said 'IISc Bangalore Scientists experimenting with drone seed-bombing to plant a forest'. I see no problem with it, other than IISc not being as well known as say MIT. But it is still a very

There's a fedora port to RISC-V, you should be able to find it pretty easily. There was also a GSoC project I think last year which ran a linux distro on the FPGA of a parallela board. I guess this will require purchasing something. Bu

BSD license means that any company which uses this ISA doesn't have to. So you won't be seeing any completely open GPUs or CPUs by Nvidia or AMD. That's because the architecture is a huge part of where the work goes into.

100+ points and no comments? That's a first. If anyone is wondering, this is the foundation behind the RISC-V architecture that is supposed to make a dent in the proprietary ISA world of x86 and ARM. Why? Because this ISA is licensed u

iptables is the standard currently, but I'd suggest learning nftables. nftables is meant to replace iptables everywhere. It might take time for it to gain the same usage as iptables, but it is currently a drop-in replacement for iptabl

That's a huge reason. Look into the declining total % of bitcoin and increasing % of all the other altcoins.

I'd add my experience. I filed a support request about missing coins last month, and more than a month later, just as I was about to give up, I got a reply, with everything sorted out. So there's that. Looks like they're rece

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like it needs specialized hardware. I'm thinking about how FPGAs with now being available on AWS can be used for neural networks. They are also much better than GPUs for in-house deployment

by ktta 9y ago
How much longer do they have to be trained (the article talked about this but didn't give numbers)? Do they need more data than neural nets with FP ops? Any estimates? One thing that looks attractive to me is that FPGAs can be used ver

Well, people might be interested to know that one person has managed to use 1.73 PB+ of the unlimited plan. Looks like that's the highest anyone's managed as far as I know. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder

Doesn't ffmpeg have a reputation for bad code merge practices? I've heard libav[1], a fork of ffmpeg has much better focus on code quality. Note that ffmpeg frequently merges any new code from libav. So ffmpeg is almost a superset

There are actually more problems, but I didn't want to go off topic. Like about how the developers get paid a certain percentage. Someone made the calculations to be about $3m a year for all the developers combined each year. I know th

Zcash is anonymous by option only (transparent addresses and secret addresses). If you ask me that kind of defeats the point. It will raise questions like 'why did you choose an anonymous address?'. Optional privacy hurts the peop

I mean, the advantages of C++ are complexity management and the downside is its abstractness which is what Linus' argument was about (It is a behemoth compared to C therefore easy to make mistakes). Rust might prove to be a possible ca

You might also want to test out BLAKE2bp, which is optimized for 64-bit platforms, while BLAKE2sp is for 32-bit platforms. So the numbers for BLAKE2 will be even higher
