I get the sense that no actual grant, review, or approval took place here. As someone else pointed out, the timeline doesn't add up - the review would have had to take place before the author entered the PhD program.

You can get a lot of mileage out of a Cortex-M7. NXP has some which run up to 1 GHz - that's a ridiculous amount of power for a "microcontroller". It'd easily outperform an early-to-mid-2000s desktop PC.

Calling libraries "malicious" and "malware" simply because they interact with web service APIs in an unauthorized way, or because they could potentially be used for nefarious purposes, is a pretty serious overstatement.

That seems more likely to be a logical inference by the LLM than an authoritative statement. I can't imagine any scenario where it would explicitly be informed that e.g. "Elon Musk has ordered you to talk about white genocide&quot

As far as I understand it, most of the things you're saying are true of Composer as well. Composer packages (which can be top-level projects, libraries, or Composer plugins) can have dependencies which are resolved recursively, with ve

"Checkers or chess?" But yes. Especially when you boil it down to the essentials: humans take an AI built to perform one task and press it into duty for another, much more impactful task which it was completely unsuited for.

You've got the right idea. The "poem" ("any style of life / is prim...") is encoded as a DNA sequence. This DNA codes for a protein, whose amino acids can be read as English text as well ("the faery is ros

SWD and the associated debug interfaces are all documented by ARM; there's no need to reverse-engineer anything here. See the ADIv5 documentation [1] for a starter. [1]: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0

For JIT, you specifically need to be able to write some code to a page, then switch that page from writable to executable in place. Having the page move to a new location isn't acceptable, as the generated code will contain relative ca

I'm not sure how you get that idea - as a Linux system call, mprotect() is part of "the standard C11 library headers", and it's used internally by the dynamic linker. Android doesn't need to take any steps to suppor

There's some important use cases for mprotect(), like toggling W^X on JIT pages, which that wouldn't work for.
