I mean, they do all the time. The value is generally in keeping access, however, and operational security and access control is helpful. You can knock a system out but then you just get kicked out and have to start over.

It's in a proto state due to anemic academic funding. We need to throw cash at the problem.

I was agreeing with you! It's a drinking game because the infosec field is laughable. Who needs a zero day RCE when the president is using an EOL Samsung?

seL4 has the lowest IPC overhead of any kernel and it's an order of magnitude faster than Linux [1]. But you are correct: switching cost amounts of noise when architectured correctly. LionsOS [2] (which is based on seL4) has some benc

Everything thinks of Defcon et al a a gathering of elite hackers. But it's more of a fucking drinking game. The depressing fact is that you don't need an RCE to accomplish most goals.

We do see it! Do you not remember the Snowden leaks? Shit hasn't changed much. We still have monolithic kernels written in portable assembly. Linus still doesn't tag bug fixes with potential security impacts as such because he

I was not being hyperbolic: a couple million dollars is very cheap for virtually any military. Both exploit broker bounties and corporate bug bounties are in that range. What is your objection?

There is power in restricting access and air gapping helps a lot. A drone (for example) can fall back to basic cryptography to limit access. Air gapping is a baseline requirement in most safety critical systems. Nuclear power plants in pa

The publicly available exploit prices put a browser zero day at $200k-$500k. That's the same cost as firing a few Javalin missiles. OS RCE runs into $1-$2 million. Much less than a cheap Russian tank. [1] The cost of internally deve

You need a different kernel for firmware verification. But it should be regulated at this point.

Any government can get RCE on any OS with the change in their couch. Formal verification of process isolation is REALLY important when lives depend on it. That's a huge value add! My main concern is speed and the lack of capability b

It started with Mozilla, Apple, and Opera jumping ship and forming WHATWG. That stopped new XML related technologies from being adopted in browsers twenty years ago. Google is just closing the casket and burying the body.

Yeah, they definitely stopped investing in the APIs themselves. If someone can make a polyfill to shoe-horn in the functionality, then they don't really see a need. Which is sad, as we have outsourced our future to TypeScript, React,

Yeah, just because browser vendors put XML tech in maintenance mode doesn't mean that it wouldn't be nice to have. We might see real world usage of these technologies had browser vendors not frozen them out.

Mozilla and others fell out of love with XML a long time ago. Deprecation of these technologies was probably inevitable after the WHATWG pivot and when they stopped adopting new XML tech. XML and related technologies got frozen in time an

This is a "why not both" strategy: ARM has the market share whereas the RISC-V ecosystem is still being built up. Once you have a RISC based chip, it's not nearly as much work to change to another RISC ISA.

Note that the tweaks to Blake2 and Blake3 weakened the cryptanalysis done for the SHA3 hashing contest such that it is not directly applicable. That doesn't mean they are not well respected and probably fine, it's just that we ha
