Before the AI craze, there were plans to allow guests to cleave off an AWS-managed enclave and expose IMDS to only that enclave [0]. No creds would ever be visible to the guest. The enclave would function as a signing oracle. The exact inte

Difficulty is relative and practice makes perfect. People love to compare difficulty of processes, metals, positions etc. They’re all hard without practice. They’re all easy with a lot of practice. If you just want to fuse some metal it can

Neat! This is the direction I’d hoped to see gvisor go in. What’s the reasoning for building from scratch and not piggybacking off gvisor?

I think if you come from the JVM / CLR world, you are so protected by the runtime’s patching up of references that it might not even occur to you that a (raw) pointer to a data structure’s internals can dangle after the data is moved a

Have you ever set up a high-occupancy building in a structure that isn’t rectilinear? It’s a space efficiency nightmare to fit naturally rectangular fixtures and appliances to rounded walls. I worked in a beautiful post-modernist building w

Microsoft shares source code with lots of partners. It would be asinine to admit that source code leaks, accidental or otherwise, would compromise their security. If they did that, it would create headaches for their massive contracts where

>> Why are compilers ones behind the curve? I suspect it’s because there aren’t a lot of high quality libraries you can integrate into the backend of compiler tools that don’t run into license issues pretty fast. Imagine if GNU binuti

Hi Eric, presumably the companies will trade on a limit order book, like other exchanges. This mechanism of price formation allows rapid price movements up or down. What’s to stop the speculators or retail investor hordes from piling into a

I'm going to answer the question, rather than tell OP they should just use git. It might be worthwhile to check out Perforce [1]. Downsides: proprietary, expensive. Upside: you can version all sorts of content at a high level, not just

It’s useful in pure (abstract) math for linking similar proofs. If you can spot some subjective link between proofs (e.g a proof in algebra and a proof in number theory that use essentially the same counting method) then you might be onto a
