Is it really the full pipeline running on Huawei hardware? That is training and inference? The report only talks about validating the "fine-grained EP scheme" on Huawei hardware.

I don't think memory mirring features available today allow you to race two DRAM accesses and use the result that returns earlier?

What's the API here for Google Ads? How does their site report to Google Ads whether that was a good/bad user? Is this done through conversion tracking? If so, why would you track anything but a completed purchase in the first pla

The author admits to it. https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1mh7q73/comment/n6uan... The reply to that comment is also a good explainer of why the post has such a strong LLM smell for many.

Looking at a few files, there's definitely some generated comments in there. Do you have any method to quantify how much of it is (likely) generated?

Their talk was quite nice, they talk about experiences with other HSMs, their history, what lead them to design their own, the many aspects of their design and then go through potential attacks: https://youtu.be/zD5EdvGs98U?

There's some quite complex cryptographic machinery called Direct Anonymous Attestation that would make this possible. I don't know if they plan on using this though.
