I think they just use the encryption and key exchange that WebRTC has cooked in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5764

The pin would just be for coordination, not encryption.

it's sad to compare.
apart from that: the word "mark" comes from a root for "boundary" or "border", and really it doesn't need to be about that; we're all in this together.

your shrewd idea might make a fine layer back up the Tower of Babel

The Wasm Constant Time proposal was just moved to inactive 4 days ago[0].
From what I can tell the bulk of the work for it was done in 2018[1], but it needs updating to consider SIMD, and for legwork to be done on moving it along as a proper spec extension.
Until someone picks up this valuable work and lands this much-needed feature in Wasm, we're extremely vulnerable to timing attacks in all Wasm crypto.

Python devs needing to be sheltered from mature C++ themes?
Checks out I guess.

Just based on the stage of the game I'd say it's not likely, but the possibilities are there:

It would have to be from unsupervised tool usage or accepting backdoored code, not traditional remote execution from merely inferencing the weights.

My understanding is that models are currently undertrained and not very "dense", so Q4 doesn't hurt very much now but it may in future denser models.

Pretty absurd conflation you've got there.
The package manager just offers a common interface for interop, you can still build without dependencies.

(NB "Two-faced LLMs" are apparently trivial: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43121383)

An LLM would have to be two-faced in a sense to surreptitiously mess with code alone and be normal otherwise.
It's interesting and a headline worthy result, but I think the research they were doing where they accidentally found that line of questioning is slightly more interesting: does an LLM trained on a behavior have self-awareness of that behavior. https://x.com/betleyjan/status/1894481241136607412
