I believe S|A's dislike of Intel and access to industry insiders are correlated. Specifically I know a lot of industry insiders have a dislike of some of Intel's practices. When S|A talks about them, S|A knows to take the "ra

I'd be interested to have a deeper discussion with you about Makefiles, sometime. We've actually migrated all our projects off Makefiles. Developers hate having to live within the constraints.

Hey Jeff, This is hitting me hard, too. I hope this is the right moment for me to pipe up and say this: I always just do the minimum with these CI integrations to get my shell script to run. I am grateful for the free minutes they offer ope

I would say it seems Github thought it would make a difference, based on their request for 48 more hours. Why do you think it won't make a difference to them in light of them specifically requesting 48 more hours?

I've often heard HNers state that Project Zero is unwilling/uninterested in protecting the interests of the vulnerable host, but this seems like an excellent case study where Github, the host, just doesn't think this is a big

It's not clear-cut, no, and I am not a lawyer, but mandatory authority (vs. persuasive authority) in California basically means that the plaintiff's lawyers could actually file all the cases at the same time. And then get a judge

Inevitably, one of the autonomous vehicle companies, eventually, will. Therefore letting the aggressive, reckless drivers build up a sense of immunity and excitement seems like a Sun Tsu move to me. When the camera-covered car has its first

There's also the political backlash if the WHO accurately says, "this is a pandemic," early enough to flatten the curve and save lots of lives. Do you expect politicians to actually think? Especially when they can point at th

Intel has a great set of papers; the idea is to store a few of the semi-transparent pixels in a texture, then overflow to a storage buffer as needed. https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1014547/Adaptive-Order-Indepen...

It'll be easy to find converters once the market shifts. There are enough retro builders that one will get built.

If homomorphic encryption advances to the point where it's usable, that would be an example of security on untrusted hardware. (But I suppose that just proves your point.)

It was the ME firmware that was compromised with this CSME exploit. Of course, few people notice if the ME firmware is updated, and Intel doesn't often update deployed ME firmware. But it verifies the BIOS, and the BIOS verifies the ke

I addressed that when I said "x86 instruction." An x86 core with SGX can be emulated... (Edit: SGX can't be emulated. I stand corrected. Perhaps a better argument would have been arguing that verifiable builds give the user s

Why would I want my computer to make decisions against my will because of a very carefully defined version of "trust"? When the alternative is software freedom which gives me the power (and yes, the responsibility too) to direct m

To me that's twisted logic. "I don't want to have to trust my cloud provider." "Ok, we'll absolutely pinky-swear by this API you can access that our machines are running a trusted setup." "Ok! I'

A reproducible build is very different than cryptographically attesting the binary state of especially the kernel. If I can't produce a binary with the same "reproducible state" as the one you had because your _kernel_ was on

In that sense, I don't trust Intel. I don't rely on their hardware.

Trusted computing is such an ambiguous term. Intel alone controls the certificate chain for the CPU I own? I don't trust it, and it's user-hostile. Users won't know that it's because of Intel that, for instance, their le

It's not HDMI/HDCP that watermarks it, that's not what I said. But by the time you get to an HDCP stripper, it has already been watermarked.

The content is watermarked by the time it is available on HDMI. The guy who re-encoded it would get a knock on the door.

The metal layer interconnects usually are _not_ that small. I can't share the exact specs for TSMC's 7nm process but here's an example that should give you some idea: https://web.stanford.edu/class/ee311&

Intel claims they were already aware of this vulnerability in CVE-2019-0090. ptsecurity believes there is more work to do here though. To me it sounds like Intel is not thrilled with ptsecurity's work, and may not be awarding ptsecurit

There's a ton, just a ton of intel-specific integrations and Cloudflare's switch to AMD was not just a "drop-in-place" move.

Sibling comments assert that software with unlocks demonstrates the importance of allowing "locks" on capabilities. That's the "affirming the consequent" fallacy. Specifically, siblings start from the true statement
