I wish it were that easy, there’s a lot of shared architecture in CPU design. So maybe there’s cache lines that are shared, those have to be disabled.

Architecturally, maybe memory tagging for cash lines that in addition to looking at the TLB and physical addresses also looks at memory spaces. So if you’re addressing something that’s in the cache Even for another complete processor, you have to take the full hit going out to main memory.

But even then it’s not perfect, because if you’re invalidating the cache of another core there is going to be some memory penalty, probably infotesimal compared to going to main memory, but it might be measurable. I’m almost certain it would be measurable. So still a side channel attack

One mitigation that does come to mind, is running each program in a virtual machine, that way it’s guaranteed to have completely different physical address space. This is really heavy-handed, and I have seen some papers about the side channel attacks getting leaked information from co guest VMs in AWS. But it certainly reduces the risk surface

I’m afraid as long as you have shared architecture you will always have side channel data leaks. The only true mitigation is dedicated resources per compute item. So dedicated cores, dedicated cache etc

A refrigerator uses a compression cycle to pump heat from one place to another place. In addition to the heat that is moved, the work itself generates heat.

So refrigerator in a heated house is producing extra heat, which is the goal currently in the heated house…

What an I missing?

That’s a really good point I didn’t consider.

Adding heat to a place you want to make warm isn’t a problem.

They have a freezer INSIDE their heated house, I know it’s convenient, but the engineer in me gets annoyed when I see that.

maybe we as a society could standardize fridge sizes so we could build fridges that open on the inside but radiate on the outside

Same for heat sources being inside a AC house (oven, fridge, etc) outdoor kitchens make so much sense, or even garage fridges

Flash backs

Pure evil, I love it.

No, I’m pretty f****** loathe.

Governments dictating technical standards, is fine if it’s a regulatory body that’s dynamic, but bad if the technical standard is encodified in the law itself.

In the United States the American national standards association, as well as other bodies, set standards, and the government can dictate that you need to use a standard for mainstream device. That’s fine

But a lot saying you must use USB-C, that’s crazy. USB-C has a limited lifespan. Plus they’ll be innovation in the future.

Well it’s a good thing at the moment, I am loath for governments to dictate technical specifications. I’d much rather they say electronics devices must adhere to a modern open standard. And if you are introducing your new standard, it has to be patented royalty free for other people to use

Yeah. When I heard what they were doing with the library stuff. I thought that was such a weird hill to die on.

Like how could any lawyer tell them they had a chance in hell of breaking copyright law at scale, because of the pandemic?

And they didn’t create a new organization to do this very legally risky thing, they did it under their normal organization not some LLC. Crazy

It would be nice if this were true, but typically if the population doesn’t have money to spend to buy things, advertising to them doesn’t return much money either

100%. Conflict of interest is a very real problem

To me, this only makes sense if it’s integrated advertising in the browser. Trying to get third party websites to use their advertising network probably will be a very difficult sale.

It could be a way of greenwashing, or whatever the expression is for privacy washing, businesses like meta, Google, by letting them license a “privacy friendly” advertisement platform.

As far as I’m aware, there’s only two major online advertising platforms, meta and Google. So breaking in is a third platform would be difficult, unless they could integrate into apps directly through Mozilla’s app footprint

driving advertising performance requires privacy-enhancing approaches to data driven marketing. Anonym’s privacy preserving solutions allow you to take full advantage of your data assets.

Fundamentally, privacy and data-driven marketing are diametrically opposed

Here’s how it works:

• Secure Environment: Data sets are matched in a highly secure environment, ensuring advertisers, publishers, and Anonym don’t access any user level data.
• Anonymized Analytics: The process results in anonymized insights and models, helping advertisers measure and improve campaign performance while safeguarding consumer privacy.
• Differential Privacy Algorithms: These algorithms add “noise” to the data, protecting it from being traced back to individual users.

Okay. It’s still boils down to give us all the data and trust us. But hopefully they’re more trustworthy than other people, and not corrupted by influence and money like other humans are?

By combining Mozilla’s scale and trusted reputation with Anonym’s cutting-edge technology, we can enhance user privacy and advertising effectiveness, leveling the playing field for all stakeholders.

I was surprised they said they’re so explicitly, but yeah they’re trying to monetize the Mozilla reputation for things that I’m not sure stick to their core philosophy
