@ddipaola if you want to be all "I'm switching off intel!" because of meltdown thats pretty much where you need to be. Somewhere prior to the first mips chips.
gender dysphoria survey!
@literorrery @starkatt @mxsparks @green I also gave up due to assumptions
Wish I could have long nails again but my hobbies make that unpossible

@Fuego So, what you're saying is that there are multiple avenues for an attacker to exploit the concept of optimization, because optimization represents the system interacting with stuff outside the software's control while reporting to the software that everything is normal. And any gap between what a system does and what it reports it did is a potential vector. And that's how we get Twitch Plays Amazon, or whatever the next TASBot masterpiece is.
@literorrery even apart from those side effects, optimizations are using some extra information to make these short circuit decisions so you can always infer the information. Further, you can sometimes control the short circuit if you can influence the extra information.
@literorrery it just lets you use known classes in very flexible ways.
i'm convinced every optimization allows for some attacker control or theft of information at this point.
Page de-duplification is the new branch prediction.
We're watching modern computational optimization dissolve.

@Fuego anybody who wants that C book, I have a give-away-able copy as well
Wireless hacking exposed, C programming, and Database hackers handbook are now spoken for
@tfproxy the algorithms book is good but IMO that design patterns book is worse than useless
@KitRedgrave@glitch.social yeah but I've memorized the good ones and never open them anymore
@kaniini@pleroma.dereferenced.org @Tanuki they all have these problems. If you want to escape then you need to go way back to a processor without optimizations. When you make something efficient you at best give out information and more commonly open it up to outside manipulation.
@kaniini@pleroma.dereferenced.org @Tanuki real talk: amd processors are more broken than the intel ones...

Silicon Valley thinks we are in a moment of “anti-tech sentiment”
Loooool no we just finally woke up the masses to the San Francisco business model. Notice that nobody’s mad at Intel! Nobody’s complaining about how VLC killed a woman testing some machinery. Nobody thinks propaganda in Mint Linux tainted a presidential election. No buddy that’s an anti-corruption sentiment you’re catching. You have a corrupted business model.
stomach like a hole
god pizza I'll do anything for you... god pizza just tell me what you want me to do... god pizza put me up against the wall
@shel exxxxxcellent.... it's working!
@Antifreeze not really I just hate the internet
