Not sure about the memory transfer bottleneck and potential mitigations. But out of interest, how insurmountable would it be to 'retool' fastplotlib to use JAX acceleration instead of wgpu?
> AFAIK Hardware jailbreaking/homebrew tools are fine even in jurisdictions blighted with with DMCA unless they're specifically for circumventing DRM.
Certain Japanese video-game companies would take issue with that interpretation of facts. Of course there is the arbitrary distinction between 'access' and 'copy' control mechanisms. Something arguably made irrelevant by the further integration of general concepts from personal-computing into certain video-game systems.
> Granted, this was a university project so we clearly were within the academic context, but we were in no way affiliated with a too big to sue company.
Even without supposed goodwill of AMD and seeing things a different way being a) affiliated with a university b) outside the USA may have changed some of the equation.
Claming injury to a third-party who hosted information (did they host binaries?) of a tool at issue seems like a novel legal theory to me. Best of luck to them.
Session started as a fork of the Signal client/server to use identifiers that are not phone numbers (perfectly sensible) but having deviated from the known primitives of the Signal protocol and omitting PFS gives me pause.
I was under the impression that the Signal server, if compromised could be utilised to potentially log metadata of communication between contacts. Sealed sender [1] is a feature of the Signal protocol to mitigate overt metadata retention but it may fail against certain correlation attacks.
Sony omitted OtherOS support with the PS3 Slim hardware revision with seemingly no technical justification and later removed it from existing consoles.
Afterwards several researchers investigated how to execute third-party code on the device and succeeded. [1] In response Sony did attempt to prosecute several people under DMCA and similar claims [2] and were more successful with certain defendants in some countries versus others.
