> Halfway through he notes how processors have millions of transistors, each being slightly different, and notes how we are just soooo lucky to have found a hardware bug now.
I read that as the other way around. He says:
> We should all be more surprised that it took so long for a major hardware bug to be found, than the fact that one was ever found.
Which I would read as, "it's surprising we don't discover bugs in hardware more often".
I would also say, that in the world of embedded devices, HW bugs in silicon are the norm, and your chips come with some form of errata.
