Nice speedup. On my GTX 980Ti, WPA/WPA2 benchmark (-b -m 2500): cudaHashcat-2.01: 281.1 kH/s, hashcat-3.00: 301.2 kH/s

They are much better in my opinion, but not perfect. Last year there was a pdf.js vulnerability: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/08/06/firefox-exploit...

What about if I send a link via some sort of messaging app possibly to a friend in another country? (the Dutch/Australian issue mentioned)

That can be a standalone application and not a web page, so the initial assumption of "every hyperlink in a Web page" fails.

Somewhat related maybe? "Memory Layouts for Binary Search" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9511939

I also really liked the nice package there for testing it out yourself, creating results package and clear email instructions for contributing the results.

Is there any good way of running these kinds of experiments on a variety of hardware possibly with other people's help?

Someone has to program a specific task for a specific robot. Then that can be copied over almost instantly all over the world to thousands or more physical robots.

Making a copy of the software for a robot can be considered as cheap as sending an e-mail. Hardware is hard, but that might change too in the near future.

I'd be interested in how the economics will work, since we already sometimes have silly pricing for software/music/eBooks. Piracy/DRM for robots?

Interesting question. Anyone and everyone.

I may host my own email server or I might pay someone to host it. Or the government could host it, or my university could host it. Or I could get it for free by agreeing to be served some ads.

But who pays for it doesn't matter. I can send you an email even if we use very different providers (from the point of view of both technology and payment). For messaging I don't see this yet.

I feel like XMPP was supposed to be the chosen one. I had a google account but chatted to my gmail contacts through my self-hosted jabber server. I wonder if this new generation of messaging apps will get to that point anytime soon.
