sure, it would be very surprising and impressive if an attacker managed to elicit undesired behavior from malloc by sending packets to wireguard
this is such a strange argument. it presupposes an entirely different vector that any other product, malloc-using or not, would be just as vulnerable to? or am i reading too much into it

not using malloc eliminates vulnerability classes

whew, without the GIF i'd be super worried about cutting humans out of the loop and bots just mashing code around without supervision

but they had a celebratory gif? so its probably nothing to worry about

you can see the way she yanks hard on the first pull, it's very likely 'locked' and that's overpowering it

There is more to opensource than a loving kernel. Otherwise, you're welcome to show how you run everything in your custom-built O3 micro-architecture optimized kernel and whatever loving stupid nonsense people think will totally make up cputime spent compared to the additional cputime it takes to build it.

some amazing energy on display here

also the phrase "CPU startup" makes me intensely uncomfortable

the truth is intel can't make moonshots any more, they require stodgy improvement in every benchmark without regression

someone else with access to similar process tech could make a huge dent in x86 by Not Caring about every little corner

transmeta was right, it's exploiting the wealth of info available at runtime

I don’t think they ever publicly made their own machine code/instructions available so you couldn’t program or compile directly to it
but you’re certain it exists

D. Ebdrup posted:

Transmeta wasn't the first or last product to do dynamic binary translation; Elbrus did it before and Godson-3 by Loongson did the same - plus it's the idea behind Mill.

In theory it's great, but I don't know how it translates to a modern x86 processor where the microcode is responsible for converting the CISC-like ISA to a RISC-like ISA consisting of micro-operations to be performed by either the individual cores or all the custom circuitry that Intel stuffs in their chips to handle special cases.

EDIT: Doesn't stop me from wanting one of the VERY rare SHARP laptops which run with the Transmeta Efficeon CPUs at ~1.1GHz.

you could actually explain stuff

the first one is strange because it fundamentally misunderstands what transmeta was doing. like if their IR was some fixed target that they published and had to adhere to version after version, it'd eventually be just as bogged down as x86. assuming it could be targeted is a mistake. especially once you're past the first couple gears

the second one's a hashed mishmash of disparate concepts, opening with a boringly banal "DBI has been done before," but it leans hard into the canard of 'x86 is CISC with RISCs inside!' which is woefully misinformed. micro-ops have to exist for well under a centimeter, their design reflects this and they have properties ('ridiculously wide') that make them inappropriate as an ISA that would have to be fetched from disk and persist in RAM. furthermore, it's not even a RISC as it's not orthogonal and you can, e.g. ld r1, [r2]. then, my favorite line, "custom circuits for edge cases" which is either a handwaving definition for an entire ASIC or something very particular to the vagaries of x86 memory coherence. so it's either wholly meaningless or in the category of "why would you even WANT to copy that"

hows that
