I manage multi user systems and try to be on top of this and no, privilege escalation with a working public exploit are very rare. There’s quite a lot of CVEs with potential privilege excalation, but most of the time there is no real world exploit. And a large part of those are related to user namespaces in one way or another.

This one is truly scary, at least the immediate mitigation is pretty straightforward.

The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.

The explanation don’t explain why AE must be a diameter of the circle. What makes that obvious?

One of the main developers presented this project at FOSDEM.

(He is a Mozilla employee but made a point to tell it was not affiliated with Mozilla and was working on it on his spare time)

Used one for a few years and I loved it:

• it’s precise, you can really aim small UI elements
• It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
• It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don’t move

But, there’s no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.

According to this article half the teslas are manufactured in China.

Another article on the subject:

No there was HPC sku of Windows 2003 and 2008 : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2003#Windows_Compute_Cluster_Server

Microsoft earnestly tried to enter the space with a deployment system, a job scheduler and an MPI implementation. Licenses were quite cheap and they were pushing hard with free consulting and support, but it did not stick.

“Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault.”

• The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
• Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
• The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?

That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.

French pronounce the “ou” as is “tour”. But you do you.

They make the grace arm cpu to pair with hopper GPU instead of AMD epyc and Intel xeon in data center products. They released a first version that replace these processors in their data center offering (formerly dgx). This is the announcement of the next generation of this offering Vera-Rubin will replace Grace-Hopper.

I don’t think they have announced anything about bringing this offering to the consumer space.
