So why is it quadratic? Hashing 1<<61-1 should be a constant factor slower than hashing 1. I know you asked an AI later and it told you about hash collisions but I'm wondering where this first comment came from. Was it also AI?

A lot of it's just "been there, done that". As I've already been a child and watched endless cartoons, why would I want to watch more? First time I ever went to a big outdoor music festival was completely overwhelming in

Wouldn't it be much better to capture the same feeling with new stuff rather than nostalgia? As a child I played RuneScape and I recently got into Oldschool RuneScape. It's clearly the same engine and it's a lot of the same c

This is true in isolation (every part of what you just said), but does it solve the problem being discussed?

You can even be rewarded for committing the right genocide.

That's probably true for people who know the words but is it true for people who don't? I expect most people use most common words at about the same level of fluency. I know the word "computer". I expect people's &q

You have to show people (not just kids, also up to college students and adults) what can go wrong so they know the appropriate amount of respect for it. Kids don't have enough fear of some things, college students have too much because

Only Death speaks like that in (GNU) Terry Pratchett's books. I assume he is disguised as "the Hogfather" and the other character is unaware even though it's known to the reader. And I assume Death is there because the g

Actually, you could proxy based on SNI alone. They don't, because they want to intercept all your traffic so the NSA gets a copy.

You're basically asking "why would anyone use Cloudflare?"

by mitxela 2mo ago
The actual feds thank you for your FUD. Tor has been a thorn in their side for too long, and they like that you are discouraging people from using it.

There's no evidence the crawlers are AI-related.

Due to mandatory scheduler maintenance, this test has been replaced with a live-fire CORS designed for military Androids. If you are an iPhone user, please proceed quickly to the chamber lock.

Cloudflare protects many ddos sites from each other's attacks

Cloudflare is totally worthless actually. It is trivial to evade any part of it.

Either it's coming from certain places and you can block those places, or it's coming from everywhere including some that are within your legal jurisdiction.

It's much less hard than you think, we just think it's hard because we are engineers not lawyers. Proxies have limited and expensive bandwidth and couldn't launch a DDoS anyway because incoming traffic equals outgoing traffic

You mean installing the Reddit, X and Instagram apps on my phone? I use them in the browser because the browser is so terrible they don't spy on me as much.

Point 2.3 (unemployment feedback loop) is real and has occurred in history - it's called an economic depression. As in the Great Depression, but there are littler ones too. It, like most of the economy, is a policy decision by Congress
