why not just configure Windows to mirror the displays? That seems a lot cheaper and more flexible than pass through. And you wouldn't need to worry about matching resolutions and refresh rates

Yes, which is why this doesn't really do much. Readers still have to primarily rely on trust for whether or not they believe the news and who is reporting it.

Not many GPUs support full pre-emption. And by "not many" I mean like Nvidia desktop GPUs only added this shockingly recently ( specifically with Pascal generation: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/pascal-tuning-g

Well this is easy to detect and kind of intentionally so, but the broader issue is quite a bit harder. Replace "infinite loop" with some very difficult program that simply takes 30+ seconds to finish and you're back to the sa

Pixel Fold has had it for a few years, it's called "tabletop mode". Beyond just the keyboard "mini laptop" style, different apps also have special UIs for it, too. Like youtube puts playback controls on it.

> the "use it as a tiny laptop" mode... It's all things they pioneered. This feature is also standard in existing folding phones. It's a pretty obvious feature tbh.

JerryRigEverything won't tell you how easily the hinge gunks up or cruft gets stuck in places it's not supposed to be or how quickly crease marks show up and how bad they are. While Apple certainly looked at the competitors to see

do you know of any that actually exist? All I can find are active cables that go up to 15 feet which is a lot better than the 3ft of copper but still a far cry short of running to another room easily

HDMI over fiber is readily available. USB is more annoying depending on the speeds you desire, but again USB over optical exists. And then of course once it's over fiber, nearly any length desired is easily achieved

Except people aren't leaving C++ for C, if they're leaving it at all they're likely leaving it for Rust or some other memory safe language.

In the case of this article, even assembly isn't low level. It's not possible at all to write low level code for a modern superscalar CPU. So no, Mojo wouldn't be low level. It can't be.

So what should they do instead? Just give up? Assume that it's simply inevitable that Google will cancel AOSP entirely and so Graphene should hurry up and die?

Which wouldn't have actually done anything about this bug fwiw since this wasn't a memory safety issue with any C/C++ code itself

This "only" escapes the JavaScript sandbox. You still need to chain it with an escape for the process sandbox. So it's not just the boring stuff of turning a predictable crash into arbitrary execution, but also finding a se

Indexing into an array is direct pointer access, there's just an addition in front of it but it's hard to imagine that showing up at all in even the tightest of benchmark loops

Apple's use of "Professional" is just a fancy alias for high end or premium, it in no way indicates anything about being "for professionals" (most extreme example: "professional" iPhone models) Hence why t

If a process is allowed to execute code, it's always allowed to execute arbitrary code as well. Those two are fully intertwined, be it via dynamic executable code, ROP chains, because it has an interpreter, or because the initial binar

> There's plenty of scope for harm just within the process, Of course, but the process has every right to decide for itself if it wants to take that risk. Just like it decides if it wants to take the risk of a memory unsafe language

JITs are an attack surface in that process . They are still restricted to things that process was already allowed to do, no matter how badly implemented the JIT is. In this example usage, one would hope that authentication already happened

by kllrnohj 24d ago
No, you're not understanding mine. Nobody builds an OS/system expecting that every executable is perfectly well behaved with zero bugs and zero ill intent. Applications are allowed to run code. JITs just run code in that same pro

by kllrnohj 24d ago
No, it isn't. JITs don't grant capabilities abilities an equivalent interpreter doesn't already have. Allowing code execution allows code execution, that's it, that's the entirety of it.

by kllrnohj 24d ago
Nonsense, there's no "system wide implications". Mappings are per process, and W^X is just a strategy to help harden individual processes, not the entire system. There's no herd immunity here. JITs do not grant the abili

Even AOSP has selinux enabled by default with very comprehensive and scoped policies. That, along with app isolation and permission system, already leaves desktop Linux far, far in the dust on security.

LLMs make the dev environment almost irrelevant. llama.cpp supports AMD with both ROCm and Vulkan and that's nearly all that matters now. TBD how much AMD's AI Halo play will change things if at all, but they got a lot of positive
