Thanks, this was the missing piece in my understanding. I was wondering how only knowing only 1 bit would be useful. Suppose the attacker wants to read this entire address (0xabde3167) using this method. Is it guaranteed that over multiple runs, this address would be the same each time at that point in execution?

Would participation in company-internal conferences/technical summits also count, other than the usual internationally reputed journals/conferences? Could you please elaborate on "this is more available than many people realize"? Thank you for doing this AMA.
