@murgatroid99 for the malicious code to attack through spectre, it needs to get the branch predictor to incorrectly select the malicious branch and execute that
as i understand it, anyway
 
The way the current Spectre attack works is it does a bunch of jumps in one process to mistrain the branch predictor, so that it speculatively runs the wrong code in a different process. If that wasn't possible, that specific attack wouldn't work
 
@murgatroid99 ah, so it's incorrectly running a different userland code segment, not incorrectly running a code segment in the malicious program
ok nevermind then
i misunderstood before and yeah, my comments don't make sense
 
Maybe fixing that specific issue would just leave other similar vulnerabilities open, but maybe not
The great irony here is that programs are generally made more vulnerable to Spectre by employing defensive programming techniques like checking array bounds before accessing arrays
 
@murgatroid99 because that causes more branches?
 
Yeah, if I understand right branches followed by memory accesses that depend on values used on the branch are basically the primary attack surface for Spectre
And actually, it looks like this isn't just a cross-process thing. There's a similar attack that interpreted code can perform against an interpreter, which is what the JavaScript attack does
Fixing each of these attacks will probably be a real pain, but I don't think that we currently have good reason to say that any potential fixes will be incompatible with modern processor optimizations

Q: 2d rendering stutter

Ninjakid14In any game that uses 2-dimensional rendering, (not necessarily a 2d-based game), I find that there is a consistent stutter consistently happening approximately twice a second. Sometimes the stutter slows down the animation for a frame, and sometimes it jumps ahead a frame. Because of the forward...

 
@murgatroid99 that's fair
 
We interrupt this with apparently a local dispensary has a god damn shuttle that'll just pick you up on call from hotels in the area?
 
@Unionhawk what kind of music does the shuttle play?
 
I don't know I just saw an E350 or something shuttle bus with a scrolling light display that said "Steamboat420 Free Dispensary Shuttle"
 
EXCLUSIVE: leaked t-shirt from Intel’s processor design team https://i.redd.it/c4re1vshmo701.jpg
@Ash I think we are done talking about the thing except that tweet is technically about the thing but is in reality mostly cute
 
12:23 AM
@TimStone I mean possibly
 
i guess we should have any further meltdown/spectre discussions in TIF?
 
I should watch Spectre possibly, but on the other hand I could also just watch other bond films
 
user15026
@TimStone hahaha oh I like that
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune nah, I can see a good case for it being here, unless other people are overhwlemed
 
user15026
you don't gotta change jsut for my spiders
 
@Ash i mean it definitely falls under "news item" and i don't think we've had a major vulnerability like this while TIF has been around
 
user15026
True but this is less "oh no on fire oh no politics" and more "hey a thing that is kinda tehc related" so I can see some bleedover
 
@GodEmperorDune what kind of question is that
What thing are you guys talking about
Oh cybersecurity?
 
I mean I was talking about a weed bus that's apparently a thing but
 
Here they are only ever 'bouncy castles'
 
12:37 AM
@Unionhawk yeah I wondered if it was snoop, Dre, Marley, or willie nelson
idea for a black mirror episode: a technology called IceBox™ is invented to store food past its natural lifespan by keeping it cold. a man uses the technology to keep some fruit fresh overnight so he can have them for breakfast in the morning, but his roommate, a poet, eats them
Cc @Ash
 
I don't get it
 
@murgatroid99 there is a meme about “eating the plums” and it is one of @ash’s preferred memes
 
3meta
 
OK, but how would that be a Black Mirror Episode?
 
@GodEmperorDune Plum memes are the best
 
12:46 AM
Black mirror idea: a world where most people give one company access to their location at all times because it's slightly convenient in certain situations
 
@Unionhawk I would bet that there is already an episode that involves that, possibly in addition to other stuff
 
@murgatroid99 This seems to be a combination of "Black Mirror might be a little alarmist" meme combined with the "eating the plums in the icebox" meme.
 
I didn't know there was a meme about Black Mirror being "alarmist"
 
@murgatroid99 I might be misjudging its meme status but I have seen a rise in twitter murmurings about how a Black Mirror episode on paper wouldn't be out of place.
 
I've been doing the "black mirror idea: real thing now" thing anyway
 
12:55 AM
I mean, I've only seen about half the show so far, but what I've seen is consistently reasonable looks at how people would behave, or what could happen, given modern or entirely plausible future technology
It's just that criticizing it as "alarmist" seems strange, since looking at the potential downsides or abuses is the whole point
 
@murgatroid99 I've just seen it as the natural anti-buzz that is generated in the wake of something that has as much buzz as Black Mirror does these days.
Haven't seen enough of it to make a judgment on it.

Q: DualShock 4 controller makes crazy false inputs

John BibbyI have a DualShock 4 controller. It started gradually, at first I would be playing an FPS and once in a while my character would shoot without anything being touched. Now it’s really bad and pretty much unusable. If I sprint forward, my character starts shooting off. If I click my right thumbstic...

 
1:33 AM
@murgatroid99 maybe alarmist is not a accurate of a term as "dammit why did you pull me from my warm bed into this cold reality"
 
1:52 AM
@GodEmperorDune Can I start clan research projects?
 
@Yuuki war frame clan research? Sure, just contribute what you can, it doesn’t harm anything
 
'Kay.
 
And obviously don’t start all the research at once because it makes it harder to see what people actually want researched (and thus we should contribute to)
of Course if you’re fully funding it, research whatever
 
Ah. Is there a way to see all the research active or do I have to go each lab one by one?
 
@Yuuki I’ve done each lab one by one, I dunno if there is a better UI
 
1:59 AM
Wow, this is feeling like Nintendo UI but worse because you have physically travel to each lab.
 
There is like a clan activity feed thing that shows some stuff starting and finishing
 
Rather than go up and down menus.
 
Yeah it’s like how people in the 90s thought menus would work in VR
 
@Yuuki Splatoon menus
(there's also a menu)
(shh)
 
@Unionhawk At least with Splatoon you have buttons to move from shop to shop quickly.
 
2:02 AM
You can also look up the requirements for things and which lab it’s in on wikia
 
@Yuuki this is also true
 
Also, how important are quests?
 
@Yuuki they are nice in that they unlock nodes for you (unlike alerts) and some become requirements for junctions
Specifically the Jupiter to Europa junction is the first one with a quest requirement
 
Hmm... what is Frost Squall?
 
They tend to have decent rewards too
 
2:09 AM
@Ash oh my god I forgot how fucking cool this game is
 
@Yuuki cosmetic helmet for frost
(Arcane versions have stat changes but those are expensive and can only come from trading with players)
of course onebox cuts off the explanatory text lol, rekt
 
@GodEmperorDune One black coffee. Same motherf--ker.
 
after i finish black mirror and the magicians i need to get back to ds9. hopefully before arrowverse new seasons hit netflix
 
@GodEmperorDune omg
@Yuuki Fucking Gul Dukat
(Probably misspelled)
 
2:24 AM
@SaintWacko I can't tell whether that means you get my reference or not.
 
@SaintWacko it's so perfect
 
@Yuuki I don't think I do, actually
 
@Yuuki it seems familiar but i don't get it exactly
 
@SaintWacko I'm fairly certain "pulls up to McDonald's, orders a black coffee" is a reference to a stand-up set by John Mulaney.
 
Okay so who else is playing Warframe?
 
2:26 AM
@Yuuki yeah i missed it entirely then
 
Later on in the set, he talks about the time his parents got an invitation to meet Bill Clinton, who they had gone to college with. His dad said "Why [should we go]? It's like not like he'll remember you."
 
@SaintWacko right now or in general?
 
@GodEmperorDune In general
I'm sending friend requests
 
And John follows up with "one black coffee (in reference to the previous bit). Same motherf--ker."
 
@SaintWacko mostly everyone in the arqade clan
 
2:29 AM
@GodEmperorDune whaaaaat
How do I get an invite to this clan?

qqffxDF window and process closing after TWBT %version% was printed in the console. I am using lazy newb pack, on my other laptop all working fine, so it's obviously laptop related problem. What kind of problem is it? I disable antivirus and firewall already. Does anyone have this problem?

@SaintWacko yeah, unfortunately
also you'll miss this clan celebration but with the way we're researching it'll be another celebration before long
 
4:05 AM
@GodEmperorDune Is it worth it to spend 10 credit things to finish it?
 
@SaintWacko NO
that is real money currency
not worth it imo
 
Alright
 
its the only freebies you get really
any other platinum you need to get from real money or from getting a rare item and selling it to another player
 
So can you get different weapons from doing missions?
 
4:09 AM
@SaintWacko yes
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh good
I don't like this noisy assault rifle
 
one of the bosses you face will drop a weapons blueprint
you can also buy blueprints from the market for credits, then you build it using components that drop during missions
you can also buy fully built weapons from the market for the real money currency
 
I love when I accidentally do something badass

The first real snow of the season and I was already done with snow before it started.

California's new FireSnow(TM)

And it's generally warm, right? What kind of temperatures does CA get in the winter?
 
Low 40s. Colder late at night in my area because it's a desert
 
Ok, so it's not like Florida, but still not biting cold which is nice.
 
It's definitely warmer further south too
I mean, CA is enormous. I live approximately parallel to Virginia, but you can go south and live parallel to Georgia or north and live parallel to New Jersey
 
Makes sense, but realistically I'd be in the part of CA you're in.
Were I to actually seriously consider moving there.
It's so windy right now that any shoveling would be undone in 5 minutes.
So I have to just wait until all the snowing and wind is done and then deal with it.

Is this for Spectre?
 
Ave
meltdown I believe
also what's with these names dammit
I'll just call it fuckwit
or uass
 
Spectre is a pretty good name
as in speculative
and also the fact that it'll haunt us in our dreams
Meltdown is just stupid though
maybe it's referring to the meltdown Intel will have when people starting buying AMD

that said I will just spin up a 4.14.11 box, so... I need hostname ideas.
 
anyways I'm sure you can disable speculative loading in firmware but since it'll make things slow as liquified compost it's of dubious merit
 
One option is to serialize speculative loads, including permission checks, for any single speculative execution path. It's bad, but you have more than nothing
