Right now the workaround is doing brain surgery on the system in safe mode, so probably no ota fix.

I've seen orgs get through soc2 and pci-dss without kernel anti virus. It's all about compensating controls.

I'm not sure he's talking about the cores themselves. What's more likely IMO is the ecosystem choices like preboot environment.

There's plenty that do. Pretty universally that's because they weren't interesting enough to invest in iterations. And the extensions don't really reuse opcodes. With very few exceptions the extensions aren't mutua

Particularly AMD made the 64 bit extension without any real input from Intel and didn't want to use any bits that would later conflict with a bit Intel might use in CR0. So a brand new register was in order.

Threaded interpreters are a kind of interpreter that runs code by having an array of jump addresses in a row representing the ops to interpret so that you can amortize out the decode step. It works kind of like ROP/JOP gadgets.

It's a backend for qemu's cpu JIT that doesn't actually JIT code for the host CPU, but code that's simply more performant to interpret than the target CPU arch as a set of JOP/ROP gadgets. It's so it works as

Power is still disabled in large swaths of gaza. Food is still scarce, with far fewer trucks let in versus pre invasion (which was 500 trucks a day), which was already calibrated according to Israeli officials to be "the lowest level p

Clocks aren't the only way to race. Powering up the massive core with it's over a dozen pipelines, massive reorder buffer, etc. is another way. This is they way Apple has chose to focus on.

You said "[t]he "complete siege" ended ages ago." This specific statement was less than a year ago, from the IDF, about instituting a complete siege.

To a degree, that makes sense. Due to the end of dennard scaling, most high end raw compute makes more sense as more but simpler cores, and has for a long time. For instance the blue gene supercomputers made of tons of pretty individually

I'm not sure that's true for what they would be regulated under: common carrier rules. Case in point: gaza's area code isn't banned by us pots operators.

It's written in an HDL; IIRC both Intel and AMD use verilog. A modern core is on the order of a million or so lines of verilog. Some of that will be hand placed, quite a bit will just be thrown at the synthesizer. Other parts like SR

Basically cd audio tracks have a base sector and a start specified. That allows sectors representing audio before timestamp 0:00 to be represented the track. The reason for this originally was probably to allow the drive to get synchron

The Cortex A9 had 32 byte cache lines for one prominent counterexample. But my point was more that the size is baked into x86 in a pretty deep way these days. You'd be looking at new releases from all software that cares about such th

Yeah, 64 bytes is kind of an unstated x86 thing. It'd be hell for them to change that, a lot of perf conscious code aligns to 64 byte boundaries to combat false sharing.

Do they really have double the risk of failure as a combined unit? I'm not sure I see the actuators fail very often in HDDs.

HAL.dll was intended to solve the exact same problem as device trees. That's why there's custom HAL.dlls for weird x86 but not PC platforms like some of the SGI boxes. Stuff like sure, it's the same processor arch, but the
