  • Typescript and JavaScript get different results!

    It does make sense, if you skim through the research paper (page 11). They aren’t using performance.now() or whatever the state-of-the-art in JS currently is. Their measurements include invocation of the interpreter. And parsing TS involves bigger overhead than parsing JS.

    I assume (didn’t read the whole paper, honestly DGAF) they don’t do that with compiled languages, because there’s no way the gap between compiling C and Rust or C++ is that small.

    Is it true though? As far as I’m aware the issue is that Windows 11 requires a TPM.

    I don’t have a matrix of CPUs that have built-in TPM at hand, but I’m fairly certain that Intel’s 9th gen, released in 2018, has it. It’s disabled by default and needs to be enabled in BIOS, they call it PTT (Platform Trust Technology).

    AMD CPUs also have it, under the name fTPM, I think.

    If your CPU doesn’t have a built-in TPM, I guess you could buy a discrete chip, rather than get a whole new machine. Though do check that the mobo has a slot.

    As you may have noticed, I’m assuming desktop systems. That’s because laptops have had TPMs since forever.
