>speculative execution is just fundamentally insecure

I dont think its inevitable, might be caused by greed. You could have small separate sections of cache (or additional tag) dedicated to per thread speculation, but no designer is willing to sacrifice real estate to something that will be thrown away the instantly.

Those arent NAND chips. Those are proprietary PCIE SSDs packaged in BGA chip form.

Hey, see this spy ship loaded to the brim with sensors? I want you to surface Nuclear Sub real close and let them take some good readings.

And yet they still didn't see them. I suspect HM Naval Service knows what it's upto and what its limits are.

They have something like 2,500 tanks. The mechanical failure rate of heavy armoured vehicles is very high, of all models, in all militaries. Look up the maintenance hours per flight hour of a fighter jet!

That exactly what I thought in 2022, but alas Germany had around 2000 tanks in early nineties. Nowadays its tens of the 2A8 variant and under 300 other models https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_modern_equipment_of_th...

There is high failure rate and there is just broken but nobody noticed because we never use them despite owning 350 and ordering next 200 batch. https://www.dw.com/en/puma-tanks-unusable-is-germanys-milita...
