You'll need large economies of scale to do better than GPUs, and you'll still have all the same problems of memory IO, packaging, and heat removal. Transistors that aren't in use cost almost nothing. This is a big part of why

Yeah I took a quick look at their SDK and all the .h and .hpp files say "Confidential and Proprietary". They seemed to provide some kind of tool that converts your model into their own format. Perhaps this could be run with a bina

If properly generated even the smallest RSA key sizes used in practice are still safe from birthday collisions. But there have been several high-profile cases of bad RNGs generating multiple certs with RSA keys that had common factors. I

It was exactly the same instruction set. C compilers didn't offer an "AMD" CPU target* until AMD came out with the "AMD64" instruction set. Today we call this "x86_64" or "x64". * Feel free to po

Sincere question: Why should we think that your experience is common? I remember the olden days when Google was hailed for its brilliance in A/B testing the subtle shades of colors it used on its home page. Why should we think they are

I have used it successfully against header files for Win32 COM interfaces generated from IDL which include major parts of the infamous "windows.h". Almost every type is a macro. This is an extremely well-understood space. Just ope

Crypto breaks are a concern for sure, but typically the more short-term concern is server compromise. Cert revocation is not reliably checked by all clients, and sites may not even know to revoke it. So it's essential that if/when

The statement was "... a bit more than we do". You chose to refute a general notion about people with a single, extreme, counterexample. But this isn't mathematical logic.

I've had the CTO who was also a frustrated lock-free data structure kernel driver developer too. Fun times.

It's not crazy to want a system to be designed such that it tends to converge to a secure state over time. We still have expiration dates on ID and credit cards and https certificates. The advantages just didn't outweigh the disad

Much of the advice around passwords comes from time-sharing systems and predates the internet. Rules like "don't write passwords down," "don't show them on the screen", and "change them every N days"

Much of that pre-2000 code remains. But so much more has been added in the last 1/4 century that "the same codebase" is somewhat a matter of perspective.

At the point that all the other necessary IC manufacturing technologies became available? Focused electron beams are far older than microchips.

I assure you that 40 years ago chip companies were suing each other over IP just like today, if not worse. > using electron beams rather than multibillion-dollar euv fabs If this were possible it would be happening now.

I've done this a few times here in Washington state. It's a healthy fun way to get outside and explore geology. Placer mining is one of humanity's oldest technologies. It doesn't have to be environmentally destructive li

Reducing security below 128 bits in order to save a block of AES will anger the gods and surely we will be made to pay. Turn back now, while there is still time.

I have worked in food service and we were required to wear hats or hairnets specifically for that reason. If it had happened that some foreign material had fallen in the food, we would have considered it a big problem. In restaurants, littl

Personally, I don't think bread made in a facility that can't control the ingredients is a 'win' at any price.

Yes, that's exactly what strawmanning is: "Ignore the stated argument, discuss my weaker mischaracterization of it instead."

by marshray 2y ago
I didn't say "every last molecule", I said "visible particulates". Nice attempt to straw-man though.
237.
by marshray 2y ago
Then it should be on the label.

by marshray 2y ago
No one wins by some percentage of the population having to bake their own bread. If these facilities cannot keep unwanted visible particulates like sesame out of their products, how can they keep dirt and bacteria out? This regulation is no

No, I'm getting a smile out of the optimism. Six data points, each derived quite subjectively itself, that could just as easily fit a line or some other curve. That said, quadratic is a more conservative interpretation than a linear fi
