From stackoverflow:
Because a 32-bit CRC yields only 2³² (approx. 4.29 billion) possible outputs, the Birthday Paradox dictates a 50% chance of an accidental collision after processing just ~77,000 unique inputs.
I've done it for shits and giggles and from memory it took my desktop PC maybe 10 minutes to generate a collision.
You're missing the point though.
Noise is not the only thing they should be protecting against.
The point is that AMD is executing code based on checking using an algorithm that has barely any protection from malicious inputs, which is stupid, and not fixing it just compounds that stupidity.
A cryptographic signature protects against both noise and malicious inputs.
I'm not aware of how long anyone has been on HN, bar a very small number of users. Who can be bothered to check histories for everyone you comment to?
Fair point about not being able to edit.
>If you're realy that upsit
Thank you for using the correct "you're". :)
If the commoners are attacking infrastructure, there's still always going to be ground stations that can be attacked.
Call me pedantic but it just makes it unpleasant to read.
I wonder if they have a "risk control platform" for their calendar?
It's LLMs all the way down!!
So "verifying" using CRC is very stupid if you're trying to prevent malicious execution. You need to use cryptographic signatures.
I can't believe the people who actually listen to this guy can tie their own shoelaces. And somehow he became the richest person on earth. Humans are irredeemable.
I barely need to move my hands from the home row at all.
Apple foldable is -100 interest.
Churches doing what churches do.
They're not as low as Cherry MX ULP, but I bet they feel better to type on.
I've used it while on holidays connected via HDMI to the TV in the hotel, with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and it performed admirably.
Sometimes it takes a couple of goes but it has always worked for me to get rid of hiccups.
If it looks like 1930s Germany and quacks like 1930s Germany, get as far away from that duck as you can.
Same as every study of open-plan offices shows that they suck.
The psychopaths in charge do not care.
How do you propose that would happen in an e2e chat?
I prefer old style stuff like Omen. Where the dread is more part of it than just straight goriness.
I expect war films will go the same way.
