I liken it to the Ikeaficiation of furniture. To a great majority, such as my college self, it was preferable and desirable. As I've made more money, I've wanted something better. There's a market for both, but the furniture

One of many things that bums me out about AI is whether content I create will be truly appreciated by humans, or will just be fed back into the algorithm. I often wonder how exactly you'd mitigate this. Further, as a user, I wonder wha

While I definitely agree CEO pay is quite egregious, in theory, to mitigate short-sighted quarterly earnings hyperoptimization, couldn't a board simply tie equity incentives to performance targets and timeframes though? Lip Bu Tan, for

Recent research from Killingsworth and Kahenman in 2023 [1] highlights that those most already happy have their happiness accelerated by money, while those most unhappy have their happiness plateau. This makes some intuitive sense to me. Mo

East of Eden by Steinbeck really changed my college mindset on what it means to be "good" and "evil", "right" and "wrong". It's really hard to describe what the book's about. It's an

Hopefully this is not too tangential, but it's something that's been on my mind a bit recently. When you had kids (or I guess anyone who is considering having kids), did you ever fear of "passing down" your trauma? I fee

I've definitely had this thought about this sort of openness that RISC-V inherently promotes. Sure, anybody can make a RISC-V CPU, but who really has the capabilities to verify them? There's a reason the ARM model has succeeded--

Speculation on this exact term, but for a few years now within the ML world, there's this notion of "attacks on neural networks" [1], [2]. That is, forcing the model to output a "bad" output, or flooding input data

I know its fun and popular to trash on SGX (and Intel specifically) but one thing I feel is that, in the hardware world, we don't really have the tooling infrastructure nor methodologies to provide a lot of the guarantees we make for s

In California property tax is also fixed based off purchase price (thanks Prop 13, love it or hate it) so one could pay ~1% on 1M at 7% vs 1.5M at 3% and then simply refinance the 7% later. This assumes you'd anticipate rate cuts in th

The concept of "inflating debt away" is an assumption that wages match inflation while debt stays static. This is a fair assumption in low inflation times, but is showing some cracks these days. One might then ask, do higher-class

Thanks for the quick answers. Third Q-- What's your opinion on BTI as a possible mitigation? Given it's an v8.5 feature meant for JOPs, and this attack is essentially a speculative JOP, maybe we could use BTI to mitigate and heavi

Personally, I believe it can be fixed via key rotation (e.g. there are 3 inputs to the PAC algorithm. The pointer, a "modifier", and a "key" e.g. APIAKey_EL1). I would have added that as a potential mitigation in the mit

That would make sense. You touch on an interesting point-- that the chips themselves might be somewhat of a loss-leader to just get them out the door, where the licenses *on those chips* are the real money maker. While that might make OP&#x
