> I wonder if the history of x86 is holding us back in a big way. It started out being close to the metal but now it's an abstraction that can mislead you if you think processors are literally working the way x86 assembly describes.

But when you compare high-end cores, you always see the same picture, regardless of ISA. Large surface area (~1/3 of the core) used for insn fetch/decode/schedule; they look all the same, whether it's POWERn or the latest Sandy-Bridge/Haswell rehash... people claim that other ISAs would be a lot easier/faster/more efficient to decode, but that doesn't seem to be true in practice. It seems to me that any difference that might be there gets dwarfed by the sheer complexity of OoOE and speculative execution.

What we do know is outside some niches (like DSPs, where VLIW reigns king) static techniques essentially do not work for application code, because it's impossible to predict statically.

I was field stripping and re-assembling AKM in school (just like everyone else in the class), on the clock, under watchful eye of a real war veteran. And shooting .22 rifles in school's basement. Not a big deal. Admittedly we were older than 5 years, but not by much.

How can you be sure your phone doesn’t have such a back door *now?

I don’t understand why you’d be ok with a cell phone as it stands today, but think that a cell phone which can send a bunch of data when you send 911 is completely unacceptable.

I've never thought it's possible. Rebuild after the core dump ? Rather than build with debug info and strip it away.
Also, with regard to Quora, of course it’s not “truth”.

Insurance works when you incur a lot of one time costs, it works much worse when you start incurring a lot of expenses over a long period of time. Ideally you could buy insurance that would cover all of your long term costs once you contracted some disease, but this doesn't exist in the US. And doubly doesn't exist when you realise that there are a bunch of forces incentivizing people to get their insurance from an employer.
Nostalgia is dangerous and the past isn't better simply because we remember the good parts from it. We pretend memory is crystal, but we tend to stitch together the best memories and even fill-in the gaps of what we forgot with lies. It isn't comfortable to think about the past and remember all of the things that sucked when you've got plenty to complain about today. When you yield to nostalgia you forfeit your agency to make today and tomorrow better. Suppose the past was better, what are you going to do so you can look back at today with the same fondness?

This theme was explored quite a lot by David Lynch in "Twin Peaks: The Return;" where he annihilated fans' desire to feel nostalgic over the original show.
I have a full disk encryption setup for my Ubuntu. It uses LVM, LUKS, and cryptosetup in GRUB.

It aligns quite well with the study (in diagrams and commented assembly) of x86 in POC || GTFO starting in pocorgtfo04.pdf chapter 3 provided by Shikhin Sethi.

Right. And the current system handles that just fine. It would be trivial to make a credit card system where charges were irreversible. There hasn't been enough demand for that (possibly because it's not actually useful in a non-ideal world).

> people are calling law enforcement.

Not always. Sometimes it's a medical emergency, or a fire. Law enforcement's access to precise location information should be limited to strictly only emergency scenarios that require their involvement. Any other use should be protected behind a warrant, but it's not clear that this is the case. This is a big shiny object for them that would 'help' in a wide variety of non-emergency situations, so expect abuse.

> law enforcement can already look up where your phone is based on tower triangulation

Tower triangulation is not very accurate. This technology is about being able to locate someone within a handful of meters, not within a a few hundred km^2. It's orders of magnitude more powerful than the current technology they have.

I'm sure I still have my paper copy someplace. I still remember that you did things differently on an 8086 than an 8088 for example because of the difference in the width of the external data bus. Cycle counting. I'm not sure I learned much that was practical from it but it was the ultimate in optimizing x86 assembler code.

Ah, good catch. I missed the height one. However, I think it's not even close in terms of magnitude. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember hearing something like that tall individuals earn, on average, something like $1000 more per year. That's pretty small compared to differences in the usual groups that people tend to focus on.
actually at this stage of this litigation, the market is defined as whatever the plaintiff says it is. Because the issue here is standing to sue. The case will get to the definition of relevant market later on, assuming this standing hurdle is resolved in favor of the plaintiff consumers.

But I do agree with you on the merits. The relevant market ought to be mobile apps generally, not iOS apps. That's just not the question for which the US Supreme Court granted certiorari (as other comments have pointed out).
In the 90s, there was a computer junk store south of the international district (just south of I90) in a strange industrial location that actually had a Xerox Alto for sale (among many other interesting things). Makes me wonder if the locations are related.

Nice place to stock up on model M’s, at least. I miss those times. I once found an old Sun desk side computer for sale at a similar store in Bellevue. Radiation hardened with a SCSI drive that was even bigger (desk side units are about the size of a filing cabinet).

There are valid reasons to call the emergency line when you are not the one experiencing the emergency, and thus you don't wish your privacy to be compromised.

I'm reminded a bit of the sanctuary city debate. Sanctuary cities are doing their best to let anyone call for help without worrying about whether immigration will be the first responders.

Anyway, I think there's some excessive paranoia in this discussion, but there is nonetheless a kernel of a valid point.

A detention facility is not a "cage" and no self-respecting reporter would call it that.

EDIT

To those insisting on calling this a cage, I hope you realize that every jail in the world looks like this. These people (not children in the picture) are under arrest for illegal immigration. They are going to be detained somewhere.
Ahh, hard to say.

Imagine the case of someone within the country where CPS gets called due to the parents doing something criminal. Should the children be jailed? Isn't that cruel? Separation is cruel, but it might be healthier for the kids to go to a foster family or facility where they're not imprisoned.

> The stated aim of the policy is to be so abominable that it acts as a deterrent. You okay with that?

I'm plenty okay with punishments that are intended to be deterrents, yes, but if you're going to do that you need to make sure everyone knows, and enforce it consistently.

A far better option would just be to turn people back at the border, and instantly deport anyone caught in the country who isn't supposed to be there. Consistent, possible to enforce without the courts being involved, faster and more efficient, and probably less cruel overall.

I would be very willing to take that bet on a 30 year horizon

Just think about the machines/algorithms your wife already (indirectly) uses to predict outcome for patients.

- An MRI scan, which is created from physical laws (Maxwell's law together with a quantum mechanical understanding of hydrogen atoms) and reconstructs a 3D-image of the different tumors. Knowing if and where metastasis are present have an enormous impact on the prognosis.

- The algorithms used to align sequencing reads from biopsies to determine the mutation status, which are critical to determine the prognosis of some tumors.

In fact, I'd wager that if your wife did not have access to these algorithms, she would already perform worse. And, in my opinion, the distinction between machine learning and the algorithms used to reconstruct 3D-images or align sequences is somewhat arbitrary.
Public transportation is related issue, but it hardly solves all the same problems as automated vehicles do -- and eventually, I image, buses and such will be automated vehicles as well.
Two points - first, these frameworks don't really account for driving into concrete bollards vs. a shaky ride. Second none of these frameworks estimate production performance well; time after time after time I see classifiers that did "95%" in test and "88%" in prod and "that's pretty good!".

My point is that we are really bad at estimating performance of classifiers. Really bad, and mostly we are pretending it's fine.

This depends heavily on your security model... Are you trying to use just a literal 'usb key' as a fob for booting the computer?

Decrypting the LUKS key will take some time, but you can ship the key for decrypting that in the initramfs that you'd store with the kernel on the USB drive.

Replace the name, ethnicity, and gender of the person with a number.

If admissions can never see that information they are much less likely to be able to discriminate against it.

Of course, if someone doesn't like the result, and not enough black/asian/jewish/white/whatever kids get in, then someone sues.

But to me, this is the only way of making it on the merits. As soon as you introduce that information into the process, bias takes over.
No, it would not be trivial. You are still subject to the whims of the financial system.

The financial system can still censor and reverse your transactions if it wants to.

If the government comes knocking, then your transactions will be frozen, even if you have broken ZERO laws.

All they have to do is vaguely threaten a credit card company behind the scenes, and the credit card company will freeze your transactions, even if the vague threat was illegal, and what you are doing is legal. And you will have zero recourse.

Just go look at what happened to WikiLeaks back in 2010. WikiLeaks broke zero laws, and yet the financial system successfully censored donations to them, by blocking all credit card transactions.

The use case of crypto is to send difficult to reverse, censorship resistant, near instant (yes, 10 minutes is small when compared to credit card settlement, which takes days), electronic transactions.

And this worked great for WikiLeaks, as their crypto transactions were not censored, but their credit card transactions WERE.
And probably safer!

> I'm just not sure if being there was a good use of hard-earned money and limited time when I have work to do and projects I want to work on.

If you already know what you want/need to do, and how, and have a customer for it (or an employer), then there's not much value. It's more if you want to find new solutions, consulting services, or hawk such things; or to look for new employment.

I didn't say that it's completely unacceptable. What I said was that talking about expanding this kind of data sharing is if there were a consensus that only good things could result scares me.

The reason I'm OK with my cell phone today is that the default assumption today is that my location is private, or at least under my control. There could be a back door, but that is a risk I'm willing to take.

What scares me is that we seem to be oozing slowly towards bringing up a whole generation who have never known privacy, and so have no idea what its value is.

Uh, source?

You're just making an arbitrary value judgement. Who are you to compare the effects of racism-against-blacks against the effects of racism-against-asians? You're making an arbitrary value judgement and then using that value judgement to justify systematic discriminations against Asians.

You're also ignoring the fact that Asians were enslaved too in Japanese internment camps -- and what's more that slavery was more recent than African-American slavery.

Weird to see you throw your own ethnicity under the bus in your haste to agree with the racist value judgements of elite bureaucrats tbh.
