Scanning my messages with my mom is going to give that much extra edge in a war with Russia.

I never mentioned a computer.

"Algorithmic collusion"... If using an algorithm leads to collusion, then choosing to use the algorithm should be considered regular collusion.

Thanks for the comment. Couldn't have said it better. Also, good point about Ticketmaster. One seller, incomparable goods.

I am unsympathetic to people who insist on reducing everything to its market value.

I've heard the arguments they use to justify why they do and they're all hogwash.

It's a bit hard to do comparisons without going into threat models and all that _fun_ stuff :shrug:

For example, JS runs in almost every browser on earth too, yet it took V8 devs 2 years to find out that `Math.expm1()` could return -0.0 (https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+/56f7dda67fdc97...). This is a cherry-picked example, and JS is clearly more complex than WASM, but still.

Just because stuff runs on a lot of devices doesn't mean it's more or less secure.

Linux runs on quite a few devices too, yet we still find bugs, people still don't ship updates to said bugs, yadda yadda yadda.

My point is just that lots of devs often skip the threat modeling and just think "I'll slap it in a WASM thingie an it'll be fine". Well good luck.

I recall Shopify having a seccomp-based jail to run untrusted ruby code. But their use-case was very limited so they can get away with blocking almost every syscall.

Other than that... VMs? The fact that people consider JS/WASM engines good security sandboxes is a bit scary tbf.
