@ddipaola its all the same - our fundamental understanding of optimizations contains the flaw - not a particular implementation
(also sparc was the best)
@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.

@literorrery @starkatt @mxsparks @green I also gave up due to assumptions
@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.
