| | | | | When it comes to hashing, sometimes 64 bit is not enough, for example, because of birthday paradox -- the hacker can iterate through random $latex 2^{32}$ entities and it can be proven that with some constant probability they will find a collision, i.e. two different objects will have the same hash. $latex 2^{32}$ is around... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The user shared an extensive account of their project to compute the first 255 digits of π using an Intel 4040 CPU, which is over 50 years old. They described their hardware setup, firmware modifications, and optimization techniques to achieve the computation within a significantly reduced time compared to earlier estimates. The project involved custom firmware, precise timing control, and a spigot algorithm to calculate π's digits efficiently on vintage hardware. The final run completed the task in approximately 69 hours, showcasing the potential of optimizing algorithms for older processors. | |
