My personal view is that, for the next few years, no. There are some pretty critical features that RISCV is missing that makes ARM what it is today and so very prolific in your phones and desktops and even, recently, servers. Many hyperviso

Ever thought about just buying a TV that has no network connectivity capability at all i.e. "dumb" TVs? Though rare to find a 4k/OLED TV that's "dumb", I managed to grab one. If I do want certain smart features

Stock refreshes are relatively common at FAANGs, the quantity of which depends on your performance. Tim, being a distinguished engineer, likely got a lot of RSUs. So while true his initial sign-on RSUs likely vested already, a sizable chunk

Shouldn't it be > 1 = 12 + 33 = 4.3 + 11.3 instead of > 1 = 12 + 33 = 1.3 + 11.3 Neat read :) learned a bit!

This is fascinating; are there any readings/sources for similar events, i.e. governments "predicting" academia? I am aware of the 2015 plan to "transition soon(tm)", but that's because I was alive 5 years ago.

Sorry for being pedantic, but do you mean fail-secure? Fail-safe = things inside the area can get out on failure. Fail-secure = things cannot get out i.e. catastrophe is contained (though people inside may die). I don't know much about

Also want to add that to say "don't use SMT because it's insecure" is the same as saying "don't use a cache because it's insecure" or "don't use speculative execution". As a short-term

There is Verilator ( https://github.com/verilator/verilator ). While it, frankly, doesn't hold a candle to the proprietary tools like Synopsys, it's a starting point and serves as a wonderful way to do research

Intel SGX is an enclave, or a hardware supported mechanism to store keys/do protected operations (most often implemented as essentially a co-processor). For example, if you want to run some AES operation, you would send it off into the

Zero. If you're using anything with 800-bit security, you're probably a time traveler from the 90s. The more fun academic contribution to this is they found a faster sieve, here http://cado-nfs.gforge.inria.fr . It&#x27

It does say at the top "originally written in 1998" and it was basically amended over time, but regardless I still love learning about "historical" views. Example: A textbook from '95 had a pretty large section on &

While I agree that raw kale is quite mediocre and overhyped e.g usage in salads is nasty, he clearly hasn't tried oven-roasted kale. Some light olive oil and kosher salt, and it's honestly God's gift to man. I will defend thi

What was your M.Sc in ? Many people consider child prodigies to be incredibly talented and thus expect great breakthroughs in research from them, e.g. Terrance Tao, but do you feel that talent alone is enough?
