I remember buying the Diamond Viper V330 with the nVidia RIVA but unable to use its power because of a lack of [nVidia] Linux support [1].

Impressive! Previous to Argon I instructed Claude to find preimages in 19 rounds of SHA-256 (with padding) [1], then tried to move to 20 rounds (no padding) where it couldn't beat ~2^45 table lookups, and Argon found preimages in ~2^33 (no padding) [2].

Not sure if your comment invalidates the context: your iPhone app (or hardware or iOS, etc) could have a bug that was not discovered yet. It's all about attack vectors, and opponent motivation and resources.

I recommend to also take a look at Godogen[1][2] which includes other insights as well. I also tried it to produce 2D animations of fairy tales.

New comment by wslh in "The Early History of Smalltalk (1993)"

wslh — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 16:00:43 +0000

Just yesterday I was talking with a friend who works at Instantiations [1]. They were founded in 1988, and still ship a new release every year of Smalltalk. What I find fascinating is that customers are actively building on it and seem happy.
