Fasting boosts “longevity gene” to improve long-term memory in mice

A new study has found that intermittent fasting can boost long-term memory retention in mice

Fasting diets in their many forms have gained serious popularity as effective ways to lose weight, but researchers studying the physiological underpinnings continue to show how they might do much more than that. Scientists at King’s College London have used experiments in mice to demonstrate how fasting can also improve long-term memory and tackle age-related cognitive impairment, by boosting expression of what’s known as the “longevity gene.”

Since GPUs have gigabytes of memory, does Argon2id need to use gigabytes of memory as well in order to effectively thwart GPU cracking?

The common advice of benchmarking a password hashing algorithm and choosing the slowest acceptable cost factor doesn’t work for algorithms with more than one parameter: adding a lot of iterations at the expense of memory hardness makes the… Continue reading Since GPUs have gigabytes of memory, does Argon2id need to use gigabytes of memory as well in order to effectively thwart GPU cracking?
