asciilifeform: 'Edge ISPs that inject false content affect their customers only. However, in this work we show that not only edge ISPs may inject false content, but also core network operators. These operators can potentially alter the traffic of all Internet users who visit predetermined websites. We expose this practice by inspecting a large amount of traffic originating from several networks...'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: massive leak (or burn, as you like) of tax haven docs a few days ago

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: luttwak is known to all, e.g., his 'coup - practical handbook'
asciilifeform: neato!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they are related strictly in the sense where we are likely to get 1980s fabbing capability long before 'modern', but also in the sense where we might have to use fpga or even discrete logic elements before this is all through
asciilifeform: so it drags 'modernity' in with it.
asciilifeform: ergo is not usable with arbitrarily slow driving system.
asciilifeform: except that dram ~demands~ the controller, and it HAS to meet the timing spec 100% of the time, or it loses bits.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only in the sense that alligator bite is same as mouse.
asciilifeform: vastly incommeasurable rates of bit rot.
asciilifeform: nope.
asciilifeform: and you live with bit rot.
asciilifeform: e.g., now you need a dram controller somewhere.
asciilifeform: my point was that, as with all cheapolade, many costs are ~externalized~.
asciilifeform: well in the sense of taking up die space - yes, cost.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't as if the parts have fixed cost ~each~
asciilifeform: $up Humpty
asciilifeform: sram cell is ~actually~ bistable.

asciilifeform: BECAUSE in '90s it was not loser-friendly costwise.
asciilifeform: mod6: sram more or less stood still for 20y.
asciilifeform: mod6: far worse today actually
asciilifeform: dram is a classic 'here take this turd, it is cylindrical just like your old sausage but SO MUCH CHEAPER!1111 moar accessible!111'
asciilifeform: cray (when s. cray was alive!) used sram main memories for a reason.
asciilifeform: and is overall a terrifically cheapo hack
asciilifeform: dram is how we get wonders such as 'rowhammer', but also bits that rot from not only cosmic ray but the background gamme of impurities in ITSELF, etc
asciilifeform: and wish it to die.
asciilifeform: oh and ftr i fucking hate dram
asciilifeform: (they come with a 'burst mode' where the counter auto-increments, so you don't waste time loading a next addr)
