The point being trump would set the bar very low anyways

It’s not like trump is known to not stoop below any bar he sees. Holding the bar up won’t do anything

Well ackshually, any such system with a defined maximum precision can be represented by an integer unit that is small enough, the numbers will just get very big.

Well ackshually real-time describes a mode of processing data where you have hard requirements on when a computation needs to be finished.

This point advocates against the use of mod with content in a file unless it is used for a testing module. A common pattern is to have the unit tests for a module inside the main module file. Tests in rust are just specially tagged functions. To avoid compilation costs in non-test builds and false unused code warnings you can put all test related code in a submodule and tag that module with #[cfg(test)]. That way the module will only be included and compiled if the crate is being compiled to run tests.

The Star wars thing refers to scrolling long text files similar to the intro of the starwars movies where a long text is scrolled for the viewer.

mod name declares that the module should be compiled and reachable as a submodule of the current module. This assumes that you have a file or directory of the name in the right place. This is what you should do.

You can also declare a module like this: mod name {...} where you just put the content in the block. The two are functionally equivalent, from the compilers perspective.

How was that not your first comment instead of that horrible first comment? This is a very nuanced view on the topic i didn’t expect from someone that said “the US has nothing to do with the war in Gaza”.

I’m not a USA citizen so I won’t comment on the rest.

You think a company run by Elon has an extensive software safety review system?

I loathe tiktok but if someone had banned Reddit while I was still using it I would have been hella mad. On the other hand it would have been “How will I manage without unhinged shitposts mixed with ads” from the outside

Yeah they messed up once. It’s still miles better than just not having someone looking at the included stuff

Debian actually started to collect and maintain packages of the most important rust crates. You can use that as a source for cargo

Yeah I don’t think this is a big-ish problem currently. But by having this vulnerability to point to, other CPU vendors have a good reason not to include this feature in their own chips.

There are definitely bullshit cves out there but I don’t think that’s a good general rule. Especially in this context where it’s literally unpatchable at the root of the problem.

So the attack is (very basically, if I understand correctly)

Setup:

• I control at least one process on the machine I am targeting another process on
• I can send data to the target process and the process will decrypt that

Attack:

• I send data that in some intermediate state of decryption will look like a pointer
• This “pointer” contains some information about the secret key I am trying to steal
• The prefetcher does it’s thing loading the data “pointed to” in the cache
• I can observe via a cache side channel what the prefetcher did, giving me this “pointer” containing information about the secret key
• Repeat until I have gathered enough information about the secret key

Is this somewhat correct? Those speculative execution vulnerabilities always make my brain hurt a little

Most pixeled Shit I’ve ever seen

The good days didn’t have uber ;)

God yes. Having ten buttons on the turn signals is a nightmare. No I don’t want to play “guess which button controls the wipers” when I sit in an unknown car for 10 minutes. Thanks.

Noone gets to use their phone. Bring a deck of CDs or talk. Let’s go back to the good days.
