The marketing culture for announcing hardware exploits is so strange to me. The norm seems to be getting a custom domain, logos, demos, an FAQ... why do all this instead of just reporting the exploit and releasing a paper?

I love RSS. I use RSS daily. I use link-aggregation websites like HN to find interesting authors and subscribe to any RSS feeds that they have. Highlights from my reader sync automatically into my Obsidian vault. It's great. But I know

I primarily write code in a DSL which has no good FOSS LSP implementation. If I’m writing this code on my personal computer I’m out of luck. My employer pays for a language server that requires a license. There are a non-negligible number o

Because I am not always driven to type 128 random characters or even use my phone camera, so it does successfully stop me from procrastinating much of the time.

You can make it up to 128 characters. That's impressive that you are able to type a random string of nonsense so fast. My hack was to take a picture on my phone, have Apple's image recognition copy the string to my iCloud clipboar

That’s the ideal but it’s not what I’ve observed in practice. In my org, people send reactions and reply all emails like this. It’s just more distraction.

Not OP but I use this and like it. It gives a slight scratchy feel when I write on my iPad with the apple pencil and it removes all of the glare for when I'm reading. It's magnetic so you can remove it whenever you want to, but I

I do really think that PG often glosses over what he really means when he says "success." From a critical view, you could interpret the word to mean solely financial/economic success. Given his occupation, I would imagine tha

I am a DV engineer, and I'm going to give some candid feedback: CI tooling is not what I spend most of my non-coding or verification-planning time on, so I wouldn't find much use out of this tool. Now that wasn't always true

It's not just Ubuntu. Anyone using Centos 7 or RHEL 7 which are not EOL yet has run into this issue, too.

The Ford F150 is the best selling car in the US by a long-shot and it's a gas guzzler. Given that, I don't think consumers care a lot about how much they pay in taxes when deciding on a vehicle to purchase. I don't think this

This is very timely for this post to appear on the front page because I just suffered a pretty bad injury. I broke my clavicle in a cycling race. I can hardly move, my sleep is constantly disturbed by pain, and I am only able to type this w

Yes I understand that but I was struggling to think of a sequence of instructions that would cause this secret leaking on a single thread. But a simple example is `vzeroupper` followed by anything that writes a secret to the same register f

Why does disabling SMT not fully prevent this? I don't know the details of Zen 2 architecture, but register files are usually implemented as SRAM on the CPU-die itself. So unless the core is running SMT, I don't understand how ano

A cap could be put in place to avoid many of these bad incentives. Example: you can’t make more money than your subscription cost per month. Maybe uncashed upvotes could roll over each month, too, so long as you keep your subscription.

Yes modern CPUs aren't using neural nets in hardware or anything like that for branch prediction. I was referring to TAGE not being a simple state machine. That makes it sound like modern CPUs are just using a basic two-bit branch pred

As someone who works on design verification for modern CPUs, this is not true. Most modern CPUs use some form of TAGE branch prediction, if not something more complex.
