  This is about measuring CPU frequency, where doing so definitely does not cause your computer to explode.

      Being unnecessarily cryptic and sounding like a crackpot while calling everyone else out for being uninformed is generally unlikely to get you support on Hacker News.

        Also advised: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."

        Sam: (1) you can't do this; (2) you know you can't do this; (3) do you want us to ban you? because I don't want to ban you but your recent posts are way over the line; (4) I've put the rate limit back on your account; (5) please stop.

    OR DOES IT??? Oh, it doesn’t? Carry on. I’m quite fatigued by the recent (?) increase in comparisons of current vulnerabilities, attacks, and adversarial capabilities to Stuxnet and can’t help but tune out when it’s invoked. Yes, the ‘96 Bulls were the best team of all time. That has no bearing on how good the Bulls are now and sure as hell shouldn’t blind you to how good other teams have gotten since…

  This has almost no similarities to stuxnet. A more analogous hypothetical attack to stuxnet would be if they repeatedly cycled spinning rust drive heads in a certain way to cause the motors to fail and corrupt data, all the while faking the SMART data of the drive to not report drive head parking cycles. Your understanding of either this attack and/or stuxnet is flawed.

      They did. Also if this counts as "Cause some crazy busllshit at a very small level, targetting specific people, such that I get the outcome I want!" then so does every vulnerability.
