Yes, although that's not new. The amount of different exploits and RCE I've seen in the past decade from just "opening" an PDF is mind blowing. Not sure if it's slowed down but around 8 years ago ghostcript would patch a couple of RCE from PDF processing every few months.

It's worth noting that GPUs have a much higher failure rate than traditional CPUs. Over 10x the failure rate due thermal stress. The amount of heat generated is very different. You can't really replace a GPU in a satellite (at least today?) which would place most of these satellites as space debris in a ~5 year horizon.

It's been a while since I've checked this but a few years ago we tried to limit test kine on a large-ish cluster and it performed pretty poorly. It's fine for small clusters but the way they have to implement the watch semantics makes it perform poorly (at least this was the case a few years ago).

The node failure rate is much higher than that. On a 1M node cluster of cloud-managed instances (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) you'd likely see failures a few times a month, if not more.

Just an (uneducated) guess here, I don't believe capsules carry the necessary amount of fuel that it would take to accomplish this.

Thank you for TA'ing the class! I took it in 2015 and TAs really made the class for myself and most of my friends.

Is the end of semester Leisserchess competition still going? I believe I heard that the year you TA'd it (might have been a year before or after) a group finally compiled an opening playbook and beat everyone in the class
