(Then, there's my contribution: NISC -- the Null Instruction Set Computer! It's a revolutionary architecture, in that die sizes and TDP can be scaled down, seemingly arbitrarily, with no loss in functionality. In fact, NISC can transcend the solid state entirely, and be implemented directly on the quantum foam of the vacuum!
Another benefit: NISC machines are entirely immune to all buffer overflow and use after free exploits! In fact, they are free of all exploits, whatsoever!)
- Terr_ 8y agoNope, it's trivial to DoS them. Attackers don't even have to do anything.

- tiuPapa 8y agoIf the attackers can't do anything how will they DoS them? Wait I think I understand now how it can be implemented on the directly on the quantum foam of the vacuum.
- naniwaduni 8y agoIt doesn't matter that they can't do anything if they don't need to do anything. Things attackers can't do only matter if they'd need to do them.
- stcredzero 8y agoNewsflash: NISC system weathers huge DDOS attack, with no discernible effects! > Things attackers can't do only matter if they'd need to do them. BUT, by the same token, things attackers can do don't matter either! NISC computers: So advanced, they make all attackers meaningless!
- stcredzero 8y agoNope, it's trivial to DoS them. Attackers don't even have to do anything. That's just the "wrong" spin! NISC computers exhibit the same performance characteristics under DDOS attacks of immense scale. Increase the scale of the DDOS attack, and the performance graph remains flat! And by flat, I don't mean with a small slope or slight wobbles. I mean completely flat!
- Legogris 8y agoSomeone made a NISC compiler: https://github.com/jbangert/trapcc https://github.com/jbangert/trapcc
- jbangert 8y agoWell, we start running one instruction, it just never quite finishes. The other OISC systems run way more than one instruction, they’re just always the same one with different parameters.
- nickpsecurity 8y agoAlthough that's funny, NISC is already a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_instruction_set_computing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_instruction_set_computing
