Moral from the original ACM paper: “The moral is obvious. You can’t trust code that you did not totally create yourself. (Especially code from com- panies that employ people like me.) No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code. In demonstrating the possi- bility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler. I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware mi- crocode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs will be harder and harder to detect. A well-installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.”
Videos that should have been articles?
Yeah I will literally never watch any of these subscription/sponsor-begging “youtubers”. All of the videos of this kind should just be text. Keep your goofy over-the-top facial expressions and quirky delivery to yourself, please.
The good news is that they’ve never had an original thought in their life and these videos do already exist as articles, which they’ve stolen and repackaged into video form.
Here is the original content for this video: https://doi.org/10.1145%2F358198.358210
Had it been a Computerphile video, would you have said the same ?
Depends. Is it an article, or is it a video?
At least someone is making informative content in an accessible format without trying to get me to buy whatever is the brand of the month.
I’d much rather watch that than the videos that should have been a paragraph.
Plain text is significantly more accessible.
