... which turned out to be a fraud by scientific standards because they flag he "discovered" was a thing documented in the datasheet.

  A) He said in the talk that he didn't have the manual for that specific processor. B) The whole talk was about a tool that automated the process of discovering hidden opcodes in a chip.

    He said in the talk that he didn't have the manual for that specific processor. That doesn't excuse the lack of attention to detail and doing research before spinning it as something new. Especially since this was in the publicly-available datasheet that one could find with very little searching.
    - c-linkage 5y ago
      What about the part where he developed a tool that automated the process of discovering hidden opcodes? If _I_ were going to make such a tool, I would use the data sheet to confirm the tool did what it was supposed to. Given that he lacked the data sheet at the time he developed the tool, it still seems pretty impressive that the tool worked.

        Then he should have it presented it as tool to discover hidden opcodes. Everything else is dishonesty.

  Documented in the datasheet but not turned off. The theatre, sure, was just that, but the process was not fraud.

It seems that website has a "blackhole links with a HN referrer" rule. copying into a new tab works.

  That's likely to avoid the Hug of Death; you can use another Invidious instance (or YouTube directly, even) instead.

  Copy-pasting into the same tab works as well - just make sure to use that and not refresh

That's a very different kettle of fish - the "RISC" core inside an Intel processor isn't really RISC and isn't really a core (it is the processor), whereas those cheapo VIA ones are actually a X86 translation layer on top of a RISC machine
