In other news: Nvidia has solved the halting problem.

There's no such thing as perfect software outside of trivial pedagogical examples like Hello World (and even then). The only way something "cannot be hacked" is if it is powered off and disintegrated.

Only a matter of time before Nvidia's bold claim ages like milk.


I’m more worried that it’ll be way too sensitive and think my code or use case is hashing in disguise.


The card is cheaper, Nvidia is releasing questionable claims that it cannot be hacked -- seems like a recipe for another sold-out product line given miners have no problem getting down to bare-metal firmware changes in other scenarios.


Everything can be hacked...
