Are they actual (even third-tier) brands? A ZFEFYMEI mini PC probably won't last that long; but I've had no issues with Beelinkz or the like.

I'm pretty impressed by Intel's N100s, and I think they have more recent N200s and N300s but not as common as the N100/N95s/N97s. The killer feature for a lot of home server and pet projects is hardware accelerated encod

Security by obscurity isn’t even bad. It’s only bad if it’s your sole defence. I am confident that my non-default SSH ports, that only accept connections after a sequence of port knocking, adds a slight bit of security to nothing. For examp

I wouldn't go as far as that. Plenty of indie to AAA games are produced using commodity assets / resources (e.g. why make your own tree model, when there's plenty of pre-mades in the marketplace). Yes, that takes away work fr

You're recording a podcast and want to tweak some of your own words, without the hassle of re-recording. You're an indie game developer, and want to have vibrant NPCs with their unique voices and dialogues powered by a LLM. You&#x

I agree with the point, but isn’t Jetbrains a good example of selling to developers?

You can QLoRA decent models on 24GB VRAM. There’s also optimised kernels like Unsloth that are really VRAM efficient and good for hobbyists.

I understand this is ELI5, but doesn’t attention already do this, in the way you described? It pays specific focus to the most contextual words in the prior sequence.

Generally insurance premiums are invested into relatively safe assets, like bonds, which yield quite a bit right now.

Redundancy is probably the best option. That’s how the Voyager is still working after one of the computers failed.

Theoretically but probably not practically. It’s doubtful that there’s enough processing or memory headroom for any decent encryption. You’d have to not only add decryption routines, a key (even 128 bits is a lot!), and that’s another point

Any company as big as Meta have teams working on optimisation (eg optimised kernels), usually with direct engagement with NVIDIA engineers. These kind of things are usually only selectively shared.

There are some serious allegations here. Do you have links that recap / substantiate this in more detail?

This happened to me too, without Time Machine. It’s devastating how rm on macOS can’t remove files when the disk is full.

Yes. You can process it once to the standard tier, and egress as much as you want for free. The differences stack up for say, a 1GB video that becomes viral and triggers terabytes in egress. You pay for 1GB, not terabytes. It’s also an opti

That said, if you’re doing this for your jurisdiction’s security agency, you’ll certainly be protected.

NVIDIA’s consumer GPUs are highly reliable and support the same CUDA capabilities as the enterprise products. This is something NVIDIA gets right. Meanwhile, ROCm isn’t even supported on certain lower end AMD consumer chips.

How good is the base (non-instruction-tuned) model? Everyone is trying to make chat bots, but for my use cases, I find base models more suitable.

What led to continuous investigation wasn't just the 500ms pause, but large spikes in CPU activity when sshd was invoked, even without a login attempt.

That's so strange. This reeks of nation state actors, wanting ways to protect their own systems.

Remember how bad, slow, and obvious Dual_EC_DRNG was?

I think there is a reasonable likelihood* that the compromise originates from Five Eyes. Would you really want to report IOCs to CISA? *Given the patience and sophistication of the attack, and my speculation that the NSA likely would’ve cau

Popular apps do cert pinning today. Back in 2016 (when the claims date back to), maybe Snapchat didn't. You can read the full complaint here. It is full of juicy details, including Mark Zuckerberg directly suggesting 'figuring out

Nope, it gets access to its own framebuffer that’s composited in the GPU. OS sees a black viewport, and only a black viewport. The comms is encrypted on the bus using strong cryptography, so you can’t sniff it. All these software blobs are

Not really. Modern DRM uses Intel ME / AMD / ARM equivalent. These execute code the OS doesn’t have privilege to access.

ME is a bit more than that. To enable remote access functionality, the ME has: * Access to all memory of the host device. * Ability to make and receive network requests, transparent (invisible) to the host device. * Access to all ot

The lengths you have to go to for a ME-free or PSP-free computer is insane. I wish someone made a viable alternative. ARM isn’t great, as you can’t run Qubes.

We're talking about trillion dollars of market cap here. If the difficulty is in hiring up to ~70 people, with somewhat but not obscure skills, perhaps the executives should be revisited.
