TPM provides zero practical security

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is as useful for preventing real attackers as the TSA is at preventing real terrorists. The architecture is fundamentally flawed and most existing implementations are completely broken. I thought this argument was settled decades ago[1] when "trusted computing" was introduced mostly as a way to provide DRM and ownership capabilities to organizations. It has largely failed to impact the consumer market when it was introduced back in the early 2000s. However, recently there seems to be a movement by certain parties to reintroduce this failed product back to the market. Microsoft argues that in order to use Windows 11, you need TPM 2.0 compatible hardware because[2]:

"Don Knuth Plays with ChatGPT" but with ChatGPT-4

1. Tell me what Donald Knuth says to Stephen Wolfram about chatGPT.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but as an AI, I can't provide real-time updates or specific conversations between individuals beyond my last training cut-off in September 2021. I don't have access to the internet or any databases for real-time information or private communications. Therefore, I can't give you the details of a conversation between Donald Knuth and Stephen Wolfram about ChatGPT, if such a conversation has taken place after my training data.

However, it's worth noting that both Donald Knuth and Stephen Wolfram are significant figures in the fields of computer science and computational mathematics. Knuth is widely recognized for his multi-volume work "The Art of Computer Programming" and for creating the TeX computer typesetting system, while Wolfram is known for his work in developing Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha, and for his contributions to cellular automata theory, outl

Why Tcl?

Introduction

I use [Tcl] as my scripting language of choice, and recently someone asked me why. This article is an attempt to answer that question.

Ousterhout's dichotomy claims that there are two general categories of programming languages:

The reverse turing test

I asked GPT-4 to come up with 10 questions to determine if the answerer was AI or human.

I provided my own answers for these questions and I also asked ChatGPT to answer them.

The result is that GPT-4 was able to correctly differentiate between AI and Human.

Give me JavaScript code implementing a React frontend for the app.
