It certainly took a long time for the paper to get to any sort of point. The beginning of the paper is a well-trod (for anyone who's looked at computer architecture) commentary that "VLIW doesn't work," "delay slots don't work," and "the MIPS let-the-compiler-figure-out-register-interlocking doesn't work."

So the brunt of the paper is the idea that replace registers with memory. Except:

* The overarching goal is making context switch overheads go away. Except isn't the expensive part of the context switch flushing the TLB and all the caches?

* A register file on an x86/POWER-kind of processor has something like a dozen ports and 1 clock cycle latency. The L1 cache has 4 clock cycle latency (on a hit) and about two ports. Ports are expensive, even more so on large memory banks (such as a cache).

* At three memory operations (two reads and one write) per instruction, and hopefully 1-2 instructions per cycle, you're really hammering on the cache coherency traffic. The paper does suggest making the cache incoherent.

* Given the expense of doing virtual memory lookup, and the probably need for cache incoherence, it may make sense to make the main stack effectively physically tagged within a function and make the compiler emit offsets within the cache.

At this point, you have a block of memory that's indexed independently of main memory, and doesn't communicate with main memory most of the time, and is meant to be accessed as frequently as a register file. Well, it basically is a register file at that point. The only thing you're adding is the ability to dump and read the register file to main memory at specified points.

> It only replaces the register-spilling part of a context switch, along with the register-allocation code in a compiler.

The compiler would still need to stack slot coloring. And, as I noted elsewhere, they also seem to suggest dropping memory coherency, which makes the stack here just a register file with single instructions that load and store the registers to memory.

I doubt there's anything actually wrong with the HTML that Org produces that would keep you from putting it in a blog, but you can certainly configure things to your liking. At the very least you can easily modify the HTML preamble and postamble, the javascript script tags and the CSS in style tags that Org's HTML export produces. All of those are just strings stored in variables that you can customize: org-html-preamble, org-html-postamble, org-html-scripts and org-html-style-default. There's more stuff you can configure by just reassigning some variable, see the file ox-html.el.

If tweaking those is not enough for you, you can write your own HTML export. You wouldn't have to parse Org syntax: you'd receive the Org markup already parsed into a nested list structure. If you don't use many Org features, writing an Org backend that supports only those probably isn't that much work. And you'd have ox-html.el to base your own backend on.

> For someone without disk encryption (many people, maybe most?),

I would say they should really use FDE. An attacker with that level of control can do a lot - FDE is designed for this type of attacker.

But yes, that is one attacker that this would protect against.

> With remote compromise of the system it is presumably possible to access the key if the browser is running via debuggers, it is at least a bit more work.

No need for debuggers, though that would certainly be one way to do it. This is not hard at all for an attacker, we see attackers hijacking processes all the time. Forcing the attacker to do 'a little more work' is not really the best place to spend time.

Firefox's threat is, in my opinion, malicious web pages, malicious extensions, or malicious use of/ abuse of their services etc (can't even imagine what abuse they see for their recent file sharing system). These probably take a significant amount of time and resources - these are the attackers they are probably dealing most days, if I had to guess. An attacker with unlimited offline access to an unencrypted hard drive seems pretty out of scope and better solved by the OS (I believe modern Windows and OSX systems actually FDE by default now). An attacker with full execution on the system also seems out of scope.

They could probably fix this master password thing pretty easily, it sounds simple enough and they might just because it's been called out, but my expectation is that this would probably not be a high priority otherwise.

I would also be concerned about users making the assumption that if they use a master password that they are safer from attackers - that it 'raises the bar', when it is unlikely to meaningfully for almost any attacker. A false sense of security is not a good thing.

I'm not a browser developer so I could be totally off and this could all be stuff they're super concerned about.

Memory is the bottleneck... so let's use memory ever more intensely.

-_-

Seriously, hardware accelerated context switching is much more of a viable option rather than saying "screw registers, we'll make memory do absolutely everything. To make matters worse, in most languages you can't tell where the pointers are going before you AG them, which results in pointer chasing pain.

Stateless ISAs are interesting, but I seriously doubt the way forward is to make memory do everything for us.

Also, the biggest cost of context switching is not in the register file migration, but in the flushing of the TLBs, look to SASOS+VIVT to address that, not whatever this is proposing.

The problem with articles like this is that it's in our natural tendency to think "oh this is me". Everyone thinks they are smart and we're not particularly good at successfully finding others who are smart (hence the hiring problem in this industry ). Instead we hire based on whether someone is like us, because we think we're smart so if they like me, they are also smart.

Articles like this will perpetuate that belief. Bad soft skills? Lack of a structured lifestyle? Cannot focus? Many people will relate to these because they take effort to build.

I was tangentially involved with DCGS-A - I worked on the DoDAF 'architecture' for it, porting the documentation from the purpose-built views of DoDAF 1.x to the UML models of DoDAF 2.0, mostly in an automated fashion using some hacky VBA code I wrote to recreate the existing diagrams in the the newest and shiniest version of IBM's Rational System Architect.

DCGS is everything that is wrong with government, and with the Army in particular. Stakeholders of existing systems demand to be stakeholders in the new system, and because stake demands input, committees at every level make recommendations. It is a monstrosity, trying to tie together systems which have no business communicating with one another, and all the systems' owners would rather that everyone else change than that they change. Furthermore, the existing systems DCGS was supposed to combine were of the caliber you'd expect from government contractors in a pre-18F world.

A friend of mine from left the contract, and became a trainer for Palantir. The Marine Corps used Palantir's offering instead of something DCGS-like in Afghanistan. It was easier to use, less buggy, and therefore more useful despite having an ostensibly smaller feature set.

Of course, every contractor and GS employee had brilliant ideas, and we pretended to have insight, and of course "the Army should just buy Palantir" was a general murmur among people who couldn't make the decisions.

I think this is probably good news, in terms of the Army actually getting something useful. I'm not totally sold on the whole panopticon technology thing in general or on Palantir specifically, but it's at least less wasteful than continuing to flush money down the toilet that is DCGS.

> I'm unsure why you think Mozilla would do this, or why you would be using Firefox at all if you expect them to push malware to your system.

There's a difference between trusting them to provide a bit-for-bit identical binary to everyone, and trusting them to never send malicious JavaScript to one person. Downloads are public & could at least in theory be verified by the community at large, while a single JavaScript download could be subverted once and the world would never notice.

As for the why — I explained why afterwards. Not just Mozilla has the ability to steal your passwords: any government which can force it to comply can also snarf your passwords. As for precedent, court orders require third parties to do things all the time.

The only way to build a secure system is to build a system one couldn't subvert even if one wanted to, or were forced to. Mozilla completely, totally and utterly failed at that.

If they did mean EROI, then I'm not sure that's the measure we should be using. It specifically ignores waste products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_returned_on_energy_inve...

Which makes it not so good when thinking about global warming and public health impacts, things the CPUC takes into account when setting policy.

But even if we just use that, it appears that they're wrong about the EROI of electricity generation. Per Scientific American, the EROI of natural gas, the main competitor in California, is 7. Photovoltaic is 6 (and, as you say climbing), wind is 20, and hydroelectric is 40+: https://www.nature.com/scientificamerican/journal/v308/n4/bo...

But even if they were right and the EROI of renewables were "far less efficient", I still don't see how that leads to rolling blackouts.
I've seen WireGuard recommended here pretty strongly, so I started looking into it, but I couldn't see exactly how it could replace OpenVPN for us.

We have an OpenVPN bastion for access into our VPC, and each engineer has their own key. When someone leaves, we can revoke their key.

But WireGuard seems to use a single key per network interface. Would we just create an interface for every engineer (I have no idea what the limits are on these - maybe they're cheap)? Or is this just not a good use case for WireGuard?
If you look at the context of the paper, it makes a little more sense. This is a one-day workshop that's effectively a retrospective look at computer architecture over the past 50 years and asking "what's next?" So the real point of the paper is the somewhat meandering discussion of "why exposing microarchitecture is bad" that's the first part of the paper, with the latter part being a suggestion of how to take that advice to the future. That said, it's (IMHO) the worst of the bunch.

The point the paper is trying to make is that exposing microarchitecture to the ISA is a decision that ended with problems. It then claims that some of the bulwarks of modern ISAs still act too much like exposing-microarchitectural details, namely the presentation of a finite register set. It sort of doesn't bode well when your references to "this is totally a fruitful idea to go down" are all limited to papers in the 1990s.

> Otherwise any business with no direct competition could increase its prices arbitrarily, and clearly that's nonsensical.

That's the entire theory behind why monopolies are bad. It's not nonsensical at all. Monopolies can increase their prices far beyond what the market would bear if they had competition.

Obviously, they can't increase their prices without any limit at all, because at some point people would decide to do without instead of paying the higher prices, but they can increase their prices far beyond what a normal business with competition could.
Insects tend to have very simple sensing and processing systems and very specific signals or attractants. There's the history of the Australian beetle that was nearly driven to extinction by discarded beer bottles: the colour and shine of these precisely matched the beetle's mate-selection heuristic, and like many a man it was driven close to extinction by drink....

https://www.thoughtco.com/the-giant-jewel-beetle-1968152

At large scale (think again: ag), a low-power sensor-specific signal might be worth the overhead of a specifically-tuned IR emitter. This might also avoid collateral damage in attracting other insects based on a broader signal. In this case, the example of UV-based "bug zappers", now illegal in many areas, because they were too effective in attracting, and killing, insect life. To the extent that the insect's predator populations (including songbirds) were affected.

And, for greater irony: the zappers didn't attract the insects for which they were sold as a control device: mosquitos and other biting insects, which are instead drawn by CO2.

Right. I still think that getting the bugs to the kill-system is probably more effective than getting the kill-system to the bugs. Figuring out how to create bait-and-kill systems that are cheap, abundant, targeted, and effective is probably the best option.

Attractant, kill mechanism (detergent & water), and some way of getting the bugs onto / into / misted by this, is the general formula I'm looking at.
