This is the fucker who put us on the worst timeline! Get their ass!
I don’t understand
Only 5.4 hours before you hit a UUID collision. That’s insane
Against a apecific one too. Usually you’d check for duplicates against all previous uuids
This is how we find out that crypto.randomUUID is not cryptographically secure
If it was random once, why shouldn’t it be on the 163rd repetition?
Either this is faked for the meme or something is very very wrong.
If this is reproducible without chicanery, I’m terrified
Without chicanery? Yes
Without luck? No
I think this is beyond luck. This is astronomical. It’s orders of magnitude beyond what is lucky for our entire civilization to have produced in it’s entire existence
is this cryptomining?
crypto - as in cryptography, not cryptocurrency - is just the library he’s using to generate the 128-bit random UUID. The snippet is interesting because he matched the original UUID in just over 5 hours. You’d expect to need more than 10^38 guesses to pick the same number again, which, even at 1 guess every microsecond, means something like 10^22 years.
I wanted to downvote you for failing to pick up on the sarcasm, but then you went and did all that math that I was too lazy to do and I ended up upvoting you instead. Damn you!
I know how I’m heating my office this winter
