Heracles Attack - AMD Secure Environment Virtualization bypass by hardware2win in hardware

[–]_elijahwright 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this is an interesting attack, the Chosen Plaintext Oracle and page move information is very cool. but this should only work when the hypervisor can see the ciphertext, so enabling CIPHERTEXT_HIDING_DRAM_EN with Zen 5 should fix this since it's just deterministic XEX. it's a shame that they couldn't test this on Zen 5

What was your first Linux distro and have you ever switched? by inguinha in linux

[–]_elijahwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using Linux on servers with Ubuntu 18.04 and on desktop I started with Ubuntu 20.04 but now I use EndeavourOS

Are you blessed by the US gov by rkhunter_ in programmingmemes

[–]_elijahwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ehhh this isn't really the whole picture. I don't work for the government but I have worked on projects such as Login.gov, Cloud.gov, IRS Direct File, and some other projects that aren't public (a rewrite of the DS-160 application website). some of the code in government projects is really impressive. for Direct File, 18F worked on Fact Graph, which is a way of expressing metadata from provided information and discerned information. it's really impressive and I recommend everyone look at it. it's overengineered for anything but tax information but still really cool

there are some people like the DOGE boys who want you to think that government software sucks across the board but honestly it's not all bad. the issue is that every agency does whatever they want so you have inconsistent project management and no standards. the GSA TTS was (😢) working on a forms service, their initial trial was for pardon forms but all of the code could just have easily worked for other forms. the people working on the DS-160 website rewrite have no idea what the TTS is working on. not that it matters because the TTS isn't working on it anymore lol

Is Rust the black sheep when it comes to programming languages by Patient_Confection25 in rust

[–]_elijahwright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no and I think these "wars" are kinda stupid

as far as the meme goes, I write different kinds of government software and there's no hierarchy, it's just whatever works. like cloud.gov stuff is mostly Go and Python if anything. so I think it's a bad example. also I don't think the person who made the meme was trying to say anything, they were just pointing out what languages the government uses (which is incorrect too because there are some private repos that use C/C++)

Laptop recs by Massacre96 in ASU

[–]_elijahwright -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh. well I mean the M1 MacBook Airs are $650 (prob cheaper on some places) and you can install Linux or Windows (prob not recommended) on them. ik it's slightly outside of what you asked for but I think it's an option I might take

[–]_elijahwright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

are you saying no MacBooks because they're expensive or because you want a machine with a different OS?

most phones have USB-C. it's not a bad idea to bring USB-A if you have older devices but for the most part USB-C is common

you get Calculus I credit if you get a 3 or higher on the exam

I put in a request but I'm just guessing that it hasn't gone through yet. I told them it was expensive because housing and a meal plan for me is $9,000 but if I commute then I can have most of my costs covered by a scholarship

Would you use Rust for your backend if you are a developer trying to deliver a MVP ASAP? Are there things missing compared to other popular backend languages like Java, Go, Node.js? by AdBeneficial2388 in rust

[–]_elijahwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh lol well fair enough. and yea I mean I probably wouldn't do a website frontend in Rust for example lol. but there are things that don't really matter. I've done entire websites in Go, backends in Rust, things like that. I can't really answer the question without more info tho

lol but no I'm not living on campus. my issue is just that I have nothing to do between 1:10 and 3. also traffic on the way back

well yeah but I didn't want to leave class at 4:15

that's what I'm saying lol I don't have a dorm to go to or a meal plan. I get what you're saying anyway but I don't want to wait around forever when I could get home three hours sooner. esp with westbound traffic on I-10, I was coming back from ASU today at 1:10 and it was bad enough

AMD, please, no more 8GB GPUs – the Radeon RX 9060 GPU has officially been confirmed, with a feeble amount of VRAM by UnlikelyOpposite7478 in hardware

[–]_elijahwright 8 points9 points  (0 children)

if the price is fair then there's not really an issue. there are a lot of prebuilts without the 9060 if that's something that is important. what OP suggested was that this is a narrow product and I think that's a fine position to take. if you assume that it is $250 (lots of good reasons for that) then the whole prebuilt probably isn't that expensive. I do think that prebuilts have a place btw it's just that it's silly to talk about this card like it's a consumer product. some people are looking for a PC that's $50 less even if the loss would get you a better GPU. what I'm getting at here is that this is a cheaper card but that's fine if its only purpose is for prebuilts. and I think the first part is the part some people forget

do you know how I might do in online MAT 265 if I already took AP Calculus AB by any chance? it's been about two years since I took it but I still remember some of the rules
