They already can use C++ if they want to. Emscripten? Jslinux?

I mean just distributing the regular compiled x86_64 binary and then running it as a normal executable on the client side but just using that syscall shim so it is safe.

If you think about the fundamentals involved here, what you actually need is for the OS to refuse to implement any syscalls, and not share an address space.

A process is already a hermetically sealed sandbox. Running untrusted code in a process is safe. But then the kernel comes along and pokes holes in your sandbox without your permission.

On Linux you should be able to turn off the holes by using seccomp.

Surely any BSD is "FS" being a fully functional core system from one source tree?

Yes Assembly is deterministic (barring severe hardware bugs). But that's the point. People are no longer writing Assembly.

They meant to say that swithing from assembly to high-level programming is not the same as switching from high-level programming to LLMs, because the latter loses you the guarantee that the computer will do what you told it to.

Sure, it's less common that people are writing full-fledged applications in nothing but assembly.

However, I would strongly disagree that people are no longer writing/using assembly. I was writing a bit of assembly the other day, for example.

Come on over to the game emulation, reverse engineering, exploitation writing, CTF, malware analysis, etc. hobby spaces. Knowledge of assembly is absolutely mandatory to do essentially anything useful.

My point is that the coding LLMs are another point on the reliability / ease of use spectrum. We already mostly moved to another point with HLL compilers from machine language. This is another leap where the transform is unreliable but it's very easy to use (and it could preserve output edits, to some indeterminate extent).

Great examples, those.

Here's another:

Given this, you might write less asm.

More customers for the related Space exploration company.

Assuming they don't starve to death before insert-space-company can get them to the next Goldilocks planet.

The next step is just selling tickets to that flight in advance as a preorder. One could call it roadster preorders because of the difficult road ahead

> Now what should happen if the text editor decides to modify /etc/hosts without your knowledge?

Pop up a UAC prompt of course. It worked so well for Vista.

A program touches a system file. Is it due to its own logic, or is it your editor saving a file?

I think you're confusing Corsair with Crucial/Micron.

Ahh whoops, yep!

A DMCA takedown is targeted at the host and is a pre-lawsuit thing ("we claim X and if you take it down now your host is safe" via the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions). If they escalate to lawsuits then not sure it's significantly different in Germany vs the USA. It's not like Europe is free from things like blocking all of Cloudflare because the football league wants to.

This procedure only applies to copyright-infringing content, not to trafficking in circumvention devices. It seems that in this case, it's the latter.

Phone scammers guiding users to install apps.

This kind of flawed thinking again. Like the natives didn't fight and lose wars against the manifest destiny types.

I don't think anybody claimed no Native Americans tried to fight back against their genocide?

It's painting border enforcement as somehow immoral. There is no sin in trying to be better at it than those before.

genociding people to take their land within their borders is generally frowned upon today

If only they were better at border control, maybe they wouldn't all get killed off.

yes, generally it is frowned upon today to genocide people and take their land within their borders
