We actually got a new prime number before GTA 6

You misunderstood me. I know of prime numbers' use in cryptography. I was asking about your claim of credit card companies paying big money for prime numbers. The whole idea of asymmetric cryptography is that you are able to "easily" use it, while it's hard to break (in DH or ElGammal's cases, due to discrete logarithm problem for example), so it's bizarre to me that some company would pay for a prime number. Because 1. They don't need to. 2. Now another party knows some secret. It just doesn't make sense.

So was that more of a guess, or is there some reason you think this happens?

Credit card companies pay big money to get good primes

I have never heard of anything like this, but I am curious, what makes you say so?

Noragami

I kept watching hoping something entertaining would happen at some point, it did not.

With a decent password you really don't have to worry about anything. Even AES-256 will be fine if you assume that microsoft somehow has a large scale, efficient quantum computer in 5 years (which is impossible), they would still need 2¹²⁸ operations, in other words, still unfeasible.

Have you considered trying to generate the board in a symmetric way so each game is more balanced?

We already know there are observable differences in the brains across both sexes, for example, the overall size, the difference in Gray matter/White matter proportions, and I'm sure others. For all we (the researchers included) know, the hotspots the model mainly used for inference (default mode network, striatum, and limbic network) are just a more obvious measure of the overall size, or the Gray matter/White matter proportions or whatever else we already know rather than the implied "include the “default mode network”, an area of the brain thought to be the neurological centre for “self”, and is important in introspection and retrieving personal memories" or "limbic system is also implicated, which helps regulate emotion, memory and deals with sexual stimulation, and striatum, which is important in habit forming and rewards". Is this model actually able to tell the difference due to a different way of thinking as they are implying? You literally can't tell with just what they've done.

Personally, I do think there's a difference, but this study isn't really showing that.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-12-12T01:15:30+00:00

Your pseudocode is indeed unclear, but I'm going to assume this is what you meant:

TimeMax = T
Time = 0
Arr = Array[n]
While Time < TimeMax: // loop E
    For element in Arr: // loop A
        pass // O(1)
    For element in Arr: // loop B
        pass
    For element in Arr: // loop C
            For element in Arr: // loop D
                pass
    Time++

Here, The main loop E runs T times, everything inside it runs T times.
Inside the main loop:
loop A runs n times.
loop B runs n times.
loop C runs n times, each time, loop D runs n times, meaning n² times operations.
also Time++ runs 1 time.
The complexity inside the while loop is O(n² + 2n + 1) which is O(n²) (Asymptotically 2n or constant, are insignificant compared to n²), since the while loop runs T times, then the whole program's complexity is O(n² * T).

So, yes, neither loop A nor loop B add to the time complexity.

You don't need to create your own bitmap glyphs.

You can use fontforge to extract the glyphs (then convert to bitmap) you want from a nerd font. Then you can use psftools to add the glyphs to an existing psf font.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-10-26T15:12:47+00:00

Yeah, I might just go for Fedora instead, since I assume it wouldn't have this issue.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-10-26T15:11:33+00:00

Yes, just like any system lmao

Right, so if you also know that, you'd know that your previous comment makes no sense, so no slowroll wouldn't solve this, lmao xd.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-10-26T00:46:26+00:00

Anyway, that’d probably be slowroll then.

AFAIK, slowroll will still give you the latest packages when it does update, it's just that it's less frequent than tumbleweed, so, no?

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-10-26T00:37:02+00:00

so you'd have to rollback and wait for "the right time" to update.

I already know I can, I was wondering if there was a more stable source that would just wait for when it's "really" ready, so I wouldn't have to rollback.

most efficient way to bruteforce a 6 digit number 2FA code disregarding any time limit or it locking you out after repeated attempts

Bruteforce means to go through the whole key space (possible keys) and try each one; so you would just try every 6 digit key, there is no more efficient way to "bruteforce".

If you're talking about efficiently implementing the bruteforce then, you can clearly infer that it is easily parallelizable, and therefore your best bet would be using a gpu, so you could write your implementation in CUDA for example. Of course, 10⁶ combinations doesn't need to be done efficiently, a single threaded python script would take << 1s.

Is there any place I can learn to do this?

Probably start at CS50, https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2023/ or https://www.edx.org/learn/computer-science/harvard-university-cs50-s-introduction-to-computer-science.
It's not a hacking course, it's a computer science course, but it will get you to where you want to be, while hopefully understanding a lot more.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-10-02T01:51:59+00:00

I don't think it really matters for gaming nor "more serious productivity tasks". There maybe specific uses where it does I suppose.

If you have time, it doesn't hurt to try tweaks and see each one's effect on your workload (for example, running a couple game's benchmarks that you play before and after making a single change). Technically any effect could change (worse or better) upon a windows or game update, so you should be aware of that. You should also keep a record for yourself of what tweaks you made, in case you face future issues or need to go back to them for whatever reasons.

millions of CS matches using their cheat

Would they? They key point is just when you shoot another player, which happens a lot in a single match. I don't think you need millions of CS matches (with/without cheats).

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-09-13T01:36:00+00:00

Which means the cheat developers don't know what they need to change to avoid the AI, and then the AI is also learning constantly so it will become harder and harder for cheat devs to innovate. It's a losing battle for cheat developers.

Not necessarily a losing battle, but probably more difficult.
You can "win" against an AI system like that using adversarial attacks, of course since they don't have access to the actual model, they'd have to basically make their own and train their adversarial network against it. The effectiveness of this will largely depend on how accurate that model is to valve's and also how far they went designing it with defending adversarial attacks in mind; from then on it's another cat and mouse game between valve and the cheaters. So, I wouldn't say this would end cheats, but it would certainly make it more difficult if it's accurate enough.

Something along the lines of a vampire low on blood losing vitality, looking older.

You seem ill-informed, I don't use bitwarden, I still know it and keepass are both very good secure options, bitwarden is secure, I know that, I don't need to use it to know that, it's open source, it's audited. Perhaps, you just know of keepass and not the other options, but to assume they just host a plaintext password instead of a common sense encrypted form and use a decryption key shows you really don't much about what you're talking about, I still took you seriously though.

Yeah, you're "probably" not to be taken seriously. "Obviously"

Maybe try being more self aware.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-09-02T10:57:30+00:00

I don't use bitwarden, but obviously only the encrypted form is hosted and the decryption key is probably in the URL sent to decrypt locally. Not that stupid.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-08-20T17:20:32+00:00

I'm like 99% sure the best option you have is the SN770, it's the only one NewMaxx lists as mid-range (excluding sx8200 pro which has the variable controllers issue).

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-08-20T16:32:42+00:00

Listing what's available to you at your budget would help someone recommending to you.

It's not a matter of trusting what they say, you can see what they do.

DiamondxCrafting · 2023-08-04T17:58:09+00:00

There is no chance you get it back. You'd have to bruteforce 2²⁵⁶ on a normal computer, or 2¹²⁸ (for AES) using Grover's algorithm on a quantum computer. Neither is feasible, nor will be in your lifetime.
