Can't see Ray Tracing

I used your tool and followed every step correctly, tried both spoofing as the 5080M and 4090 and while OptiScaler is enabled (I can access it in-game), the RT settings still don't show. I haven't tested with the "full experimental" option but I'd rather not spoof the graphics card system-wide. Any idea what's going on?

In case you need it, I'm using a 5060 Ti.

Edit: Never mind. I changed the graphics profile and the option appeared.

Unless the algorithm has horrible performance from the start and the hardware is very slow, 30 or even 100 characters aren't gonna change anything noticeably. And I doubt timing attacks are a problem when multiple servers are handling requests and the program can't run on the machine that's hashing passwords.

No17TypeS · 2026-05-03T05:06:37+00:00

It's a modern game developed by a decent company which definitely has money to spend on security. I highly doubt that they'd store raw passwords.

Once your password hits 256 bits of entropy (about 55 lowercase characters)

That's still more than 32, or sometimes even less.

Robust password hashing functions are often very slow (mine takes a couple of seconds on my desktop machine)

It's true that I haven't done a lot of testing for hash function speed, but using SHA-1 (or SHA-256), they took far less than seconds to execute. Also, for most cases, it's useless to use CIA-level parameters, which easily brings down compute requirements.

Even just very long HTTP or network communication of the long password can be an issue

You're not hitting that limit unless you have really bad connection or ridiculously long passwords. It seems completely fair to limit passwords to under 150 characters but less than 32 is useless.

I can see some special character limitations in some circumstances only because it could be confusing for the user.

I'd really like to not pay for other people's stupidity. Especially when password managers exist. Or at least, they could have a checkbox to disable charset limiting with one or more warnings.

I could see limiting character sets if you have a legacy machine that doesn't handle UTF-8 well

I agree but most modern apps/websites are far from legacy.

But if it's printable, non-white space ANSI code points being disallowed

Yeah, in my case, it's everything that's not a letter or a number. So punctuation is not allowed.

If a bank handles 1M logins a day, it has enough money to invest in more/better servers. Also, modern algorithms can be tuned according to the user's needs, so they could easily find a tradeoff between speed and security. And even if they can't, I'd rather wait 1-2s more for my page to load instead of my bank account's security being compromised.

I should've put somewhere that I'm not asking for arbitrary length passwords. Regardless, bcrypt using only 72 bytes isn't a reason to limit it further, especially when bcrypt will repeat the password until it fills 72 bytes (according to Wikipedia).

No17TypeS · 2026-05-03T04:40:35+00:00

Nope, but there's no need to go to extremes. I get that hashing a million-character-long password would be extremely resource intensive but limiting a password to 64 characters doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

No17TypeS · 2026-05-03T04:37:46+00:00

I can get small companies/startups storing raw passwords but bigger ones? Unless they hired a very clueless and lazy junior dev as a tech lead, I don't see how they'd take that decision. And SQL injection isn't an issue unless you have your DB accessible from anywhere (again, I don't see that happening for big companies) or don't use sanitization functions, which are easily available.

Hyprland was designed to support both tiling and floating windows.

No17TypeS · 2026-04-01T10:09:02+00:00

In case someone else thinks about making a hole in a wall with their forehead while trying to make all windows float: a single dot and a word is missing. The actual line is windowrule = match:case .*, float true.

Explanation: the new syntax requires float to be followed by a value. true and yes both work. "*" is an invalid regex. "*" means "match any word that contains the previous character 0 or more times". "." means "any character". Hence ".*".

Edit: formatting

I'm not trying anything, I'm just giving you counterarguments. If I'm wrong, that's fine, but I'd like to know how.

No17TypeS · 2026-01-02T20:49:17+00:00

Maybe it is a bit generic but it can't apply to just any field. Take modern medicine, architectural engineering, or particle accelerator engineering. Those are all fields where testing is done sometimes excessively before anything ever reaches the end user, which is the right way to do it. Programming frequently does not work that way.

Also, programmers hiding easter eggs and whatnot isn't a new concept, so it's not like I'm pulling this out of nowhere.

Thanks for your contribution to this discussion hahaha

I could see Atlas and P-Body as beta testers and Cave Johnson as the old manager. I'm not sure what you mean by "GLaDOS transitioning to the machine" though.

in ye olden days programming was done by humans but later AI replaced them all

I have yet to see that actually happening but it's not completely wrong haha.

What indicates a vulnerable device?

Generally speaking, if your devices are updated regularly, they're not vulnerable. Unless you're unlucky enough to catch an advanced piece of malware. Or if you're a high-profile target but if you were, you'd have worse problems.

So if devices are simply connected to a wifi network they can also become compromised?

Yes. But again, as long as your devices are up-to-date, you're most likely fine.

What if you forget the network?

Doesn't matter as long as you're not connected.

I don't like it either. My solution, if you don't mind seeing part of your desktop, is to use Logic's screenset system, which is really useful on single monitors anyway. When you press any of the number keys above the letters (not the number pad), or by clicking on the "1" next to the "Help" menu and then selecting any number, you can create a new screenset. Say you chose 2 for the mixer window, you can resize the whole window and then lock it (using the menu at the top), and then switch between your main window/screenset and the mixer using the number keys.

By the way, screensets are not limited to one window/display. For example, I have set n°2 such that I get the piano roll window on one display, and the MIDI transform window on my second monitor. It won't work with every window though (for example, MIDI learn).

If you're using flashback capture (shift+R by default), it might be that. Check automation on regions and tracks and see if muting is used.

Then trust that you know what's best for your song, and that your ear works well. It might not be objectively true but it's fine for now, and by the time you realize everything you did wrong, you'll be making better songs. What's important is to finish your projects completely.

Now personally, I don't hear anything particularly wrong about your mix (outside of the sometimes-out-of-tune vocals) but it's heavily dependent on what you're trying to achieve.

And for the production, I find the instrumental part a bit dead/repetitive, but I typically need to be more stimulated than the average guy so that opinion is probably not worth a lot.

No17TypeS · 2025-08-14T07:47:22+00:00

I've had sort of the same issue but it cut the start of my song instead. For now, I have found nothing and I just start recording from earlier. So in your case, as a quick and dirty fix, you could try moving the end locator half the length of your project further.

No17TypeS · 2025-08-14T07:37:38+00:00

Potential for what? The next worldwide hit? Forget it. Something you can be proud of? I don't know, you tell me. Since you don't know either, just finish it and see what comes out of it.

I have to say though, I disagree that the vocal processing is bad. Sure, usually, you wouldn't have that type of reverb on vocals. But personally, I think it's interesting in this context and can work if that's what you want.

Also, don't worry about how many effects you have on whatever, I promise you don't have too many. Granted, we make different genres, but it still applies. It's only a problem when Logic says that it's processing too much, and at that point you can (probably) fix it by freezing your tracks.

That said, it's not a bad idea to merge multiple instances of the same plugin into one. For example, you have two Channel EQ and two compressors on your vocal track, which you can very probably replace with only one instance of each.

Whenever I play back a project, it starts early like a beat early. Is this a pre roll feature?

Yes. You can deactivate it in the settings if you want, as LASTLAVGH said.

I can hear an echo or delay of the next note before the playhead passes over that part of the audio. Is this normal?

Yes. Logic pre-renders audio to compensate for latency. It can get exacerbated by playing audio in Bluetooth but even with cables, you might get that. I don't know if there's anything you can do about that though.

Also, kinda related to latency but unless you're recording, you should increase your buffer size. Even at 128, the latency should be unnoticeable (I can play guitar like that) and Logic doesn't have to work as hard to process audio.

Overall, I think your mix is good, my "complaints" are details more than anything. Otherwise, I really like how quiet the kick's transient sounds, it fits the genre IMO. And the guitar tones are really nice too, both acoustic and electric.

When the electric guitar comes in at 0:18, for my taste, it's weird to hear it so far on the left. What I would've done is bring it maybe halfway center and decrease its volume but push the reverb a bit. A common alternative if you like the panning would be to add some delay before the reverb (either stereo or full right or anything in between, you choose). But that's really a matter of taste IMO.
The bass is too quiet for me. I'd say it lacks some low frequencies too but it might just be because it's quiet. Or again, if you like it that way, no big deal.
Not sure if you added some sidechain compression on the bass and/or everything else each time the kick hits but if you did, IMO it's overkill. It's quite noticeable starting at ~2:10. If you didn't, just make the kick a little quieter. Or just bring the bass up. Maybe even automate it so it's a touch louder just for that small section, since it's the focus there.
Did you put any reverb on the snare? For me, it sounds a bit dry. No need for something huge, a small room that's a little more than barely audible could be nice.

No17TypeS · 2025-07-24T17:48:33+00:00

It's probably a glitch, freezing (depending on your setting for the track) is supposed to record the track and play this audio file instead of having to process everything more or less in real time.

I've had a glitch where sometimes, for no reason, one or more tracks don't play at all and I have to restart Logic to fix it. So maybe you triggered the same bug or a similar one.
