    If I’ve understood correctly, what your missing here is that the first core in SMM tells the second to join it in SMM, times out on the wait, does its thing and exits, but then the…

    Just FYI, it’s “piqued my interest”

    What’s the point? To save money paying a human to man a support email. That human would have also been hopelessly uninformed for all the same reasons.

    The root cause seems to be known, unlike what this article implies. A bunch of other articles discuss the entropy issue, https://insider.btcpp.dev/p/when-randombytes-runs-but-doesn…

    I generally agree with all of this, but I'll add a few additional remarks. Because it's come up a bunch lately, I decided to do a bunch of code review/audit of the Fil-C codebase, …

    I think the consensus is that this would be the wrong end to tackle the problem from. Your project should include ruff at the version it wants to use in its pyproject.toml. Bump th…

    I've spent some more time over the last day looking at Fil-C more closely, and come to the conclusion that this: > The thing that makes races hard to debug in C or C++ is memory co…

    The really silly thing is that Fil-C and Zig here have chosen a definition of memory safety that specifically excludes a bunch of overflow vulnerabilities and type confusion. At le…

    I’m having a hard time understanding how these two things can be true at once. Just because the capability exists that somewhere in my program a valid pointer to a piece of memory …

    I like "honor system" as a term. I've been looking for the right term to replace the irresponsible usage of guardrails with, and best I've had so far is the pinky promise protocol.…

    Clearly not. Good security is about defense in depth. The service that was exploited was meant to be an offline, frozen package cache, it shouldn't have been anywhere near a networ…

    There is some aspect of baking the rules into the model, that's what I refer to as RLHF above (which I use here as more a catch-all term for a variety of post-training activities),…

    There’s a number of comments and linked threads suggesting it is not, but easier to just link the biggest thread than try to track all the subthreads.

    This is and has been a common term in any systems programming concept for decades. You can, for example, search CVEs and easily find some from over 15 years ago: https://www.cve.or…
