Comment on Colliding with the SHA prefix of Linux's initial Git commitparent

Comments

A proof of concept became much easier with C11 unicode identifiers, and email patch review. You can trivially hide Cyrillic chars eg. between whitespace changes or other trivial "optimizations". Even without collisions.

And with the current surge of GPU's even collisions are realistic now. The H100's are not doing much when not in training.
