Huh, i thought PZ shipped a Java runtime?
Project Zomboid too AFAIK
That BASIC GOTO joke got me real good, kudos to the author xD
I would actually bring a parallel to the device driver-firmware blob split that’s common with hardware support in Linux. While the code needed to run inference with a model is straightforward and several open source versions exist already, the model itself is a bunch of tensors whose behaviour we don’t have any visibility into. Bias is less a problem of the inference code and more an issue with the data it was trained on
If I were to guess, it would be the additional pins. USB-C PD is capable of decent power transfer while also having enough data transfer capability simultaneously. USB-C docks are a good example, seeing that you can hook up a display, charger, other USB devices, ethernet, etc and have it all go through a single cable and (compact, convenient) connector. The reversibility is an added bonus
For anyone following this, the title here is misleading. The exploit is only in userspace and doesn’t grant access to the system or kernel
