I suspect it's just an over-fitting problem. By some (likely ML-derived) metrics, Go and Nim binaries don't look like MSVC binaries.
My general feeling is that we're going to see many years of ML over-fitting for common cases, getting power users banned from various services, various oddball binaries flagged as malicious, etc.
- account42 4y agoLike most ills today, it's a not-caring-about-externalities problem. If there were real repercussions for rampant false positives, these would be fixed yesterday.
- KMag 4y agoThe thing is, these probably aren't rampant. I doubt more than 0.01% of all Windows machines have a Go or Nim binary on them.
- account42 4y agoFalse positives doen't just affect Go or Nim binaries, they affect anything that doesn't look exacty like the bloated shit MSVC spits out. It would affect a lot more real programs if their creators hadn't wasted time (and sometimes made their programs worse) to work around bs black box detections.
