That is a very, very good point. I have no counter arguments. Thanks for sharing!

Truth is I don't have time to dig in this right now. I thought if the idea was good maybe I could motivate somebody else. I just hope we can get rid of PoW the way it is soon.

Hell yeah, why do you think I'm getting married? :P As long as there is mutual support, I'd not worry. I'd be proud to be supported by my future wife.

For proof of work to be fair, you need a robust & secure job that produces results with a uniform distribution of zeros and ones. FHE gives you that, while performing useful computation.

I hope somebody at Microsoft read this. It goes far beyond security vulnerabilities. The Teams Linux client is barely usable. Chromebooks don't even have a client. Could Microsoft expose an API and allow third party clients to be devel

If your .vimrc is minimal, you will have a pretty good time using systems that implement "vim like" text editing. Take Overleaf for example, no vimrc is available, but I'm quite happy with what I got, and sometimes I even for

And fast! I got easily 3 orders of magnitude speedup. I used to load CSVs with pandas and do typical filtering operations... oh boy, some of the stuff would take a hole morning, not to mention the memory usage. I do all that in minutes now.

Here is the thing made me a happier person this year: I realized when CSVs take too long to load, I should not be using them in the first place! I love SQLite now <3

I'm in the middle of a PhD myself, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I actually agree with the author, certain fields are just very complex to develop a solid understand without proper mentoring and support you would get as a gr

Quick comment, not an expert, but environ vars keep their state after the program is called. From a functional programming perspective, or just for my own sanity, wouldn’t it be more interesting to keep the states into minimum?

Absolutely not. "Apple Silicon" is branding for their own processor. This is a road to an opensource ecosystem in HW design.

Design is not all. There is a reason IC design houses are vanishing, it is too expensive to design custom chips. Only large companies can afford the tapeouts, testing, Packaging, and large volume production.

Using fancy features does not make you a better programmer. It is the other way around.

That was a very nice breakdown of costs for a side project. Thanks for sharing this!

During a CC certification, the design-house, mask shop, and fab are certified to reduce the chances of the chip being tampered. The certification ensures that all those places have decent security practices and protocols. It helps but is qu

Yep. Great times are coming :D I think if you can enforce that the user will resynthesize the design on his own, and you make sure the synthesis/placement is different, you are way ahead of any other AISC alternative in terms of trust.

A couple things: 1. FPGAs are easier to verify cause they are regular structures. 2. How do you insert a backdoor in an FPGA at the supply chain if you don't know what is the exact logic that is going to be uploaded?

It was just a simple example. There are counter-measures WAY more complex than a simple two lead sensor. I was part of a CC certified chip design, and I can tell you we must implement tests for every single countermeasure in the chip. But s

by klhugo 7y ago
You are right, but in the scope of chip design we can solve all that. What we can not solve is supply chain trust (how do you now your temp sensor has not been tampered?)

by klhugo 7y ago
Excellent work. I completely agree that today the easiest option to develop safe hardware is using FPGAs. Two things to look forward: 1. Usage of open source FPGA synthesis and implementation tools 2. Usage of open source FPGA chips

I have to agree with you. What impresses me even more is that they are selling it already, and marketing as “open-source”. I would leave a note here that if anybody is interested in doing something similar, please get some feedback from com

Also, you guys should definitely do some research about side-channel attacks. I quickly inspect the source code and did not find any counter-measure.

Security keys are the heart of security and we desperately need open-source solutions on this. Kudos for doing it. Now, I must point out a few things: 1. Please don't call your solution "Open-source", when you do not have not

This article would be better represented with the title “Open Source Logic”, since it basically refers to the adoption of FPGAs on the cloud. IMHO Open Source Silicon refers to the physical design and process information for actual manufact
