Now this is most certainly wrong. Example (search "history research"): "Research in history involves developing an understanding of the past through the examination and interpretat…

Yes I meant salt! AFAIK such a fast cracking of hashes is mostly via rainbow tables, salts defeat those easily.

But why would you not combine them? In fact, I can easily see people being lazy and combining just on N sized stream to reduce server overhead especially if there is compression on…

Won't you add a seed before hashing. With a 8 byte seed that's 16 effective characters, probably impossible to crack.

Doesn't LTO interfere with debugging massively?

P2P scales quadratically, central server scales linearly. You might argue the cost is not borne by the operator but imagine what happens if Zoom was P2P. It would probably bring do…

That's 1 cubic meter. We have a lot more seawater?

Except that the instances you listed are not a problem the vast majority of the time. While copyrights and patents are enforceable for any unauthorized use no one would bother unti…

I feel like the best way to filter spam is using information content. As it turns out, nobody is handing out $1,000,000 for free no matter how nicely they write the email.

Isn't the solution painfully obvious. Remove the limits around the time you expect extreme loads. Like you said, it works most of the time. Take a hit for unexpected workload spike…

This is a misleading comparison. You are comparing a massive model with huge models. What you should be comparing are big models vs medium models that a single consumer GPU will fi…

This is such a simpleton take. The whole reason AMD are able to crank out 128 core CPUs is the CCX architecture - the one people laughed at. No TSMC there. Not to mention other inn…

Forests have pretty much been solved. Look at games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, forest looks amazing. The difficulty now is limited to finer details, like hair. Hair is still p…

Not at all. The 20 series has excellent founders cards.

Of course not. We can prove things that are absolutely true. For example, we can show 2+2, with suitable definitions of 2, + and 4, always equals 4 anywhere in the universe.

What's the incentive to master a game already beaten by AI?

Agreeed. I finished the game on mobile ;) Though the story could use some work !

This is unfortunately prevelant on most discussion forums. In many cases this correction is downvoted and buried deep.

They would allow Fortnite back too.

Doesn't gparted do this for you? It will automatically figure even the most complex of operations that require filesystem copy.

And any such "research" should go in the bin. Reproducibility of final results a me d their review is key.
