I cannot see why this litmus test is either necessary nor sufficient for evaluating the success of LLMs.

It's advantageous in rules-based systems, but many aspects of life, particularly interpersonal, are not rules-based. Systems thinking pays well, which is advantageous, but this might be short lived, now that LLMs can mediate interfacin

Unconsciously masking is still tiring, and masking doesn't generalise well to unfamiliar situations.

Are you sure it's not just chocolate stuck in your teeth? More seriously, that's fascinating. I don't think I experience this?

Thanks, that's really handy to see. Looks cool!

Ah. I read the post, but only saw "2024-07-16 04:52 ChanServ changed [...]" On mobile I didn't see the full URL, and zoomed before I saw the calendar. My bad.

Visiting 3D virtual places sounds cool. What communities do this? Can I do this on my laptop too to trial it?

80% is still pretty high! Does 80% mean "tastes like a dull chocolate bar, but still basically a chocolate bar", or more like "like a nice chocolate bar but somehow 20% less enjoyable in some looser way"? Perhaps this is

I have barely even considered VR until the Steam Frame. I'm just not interested in closed ecosystems like Oculus. That said, I have barely looked at VR so much that I'm not sure whether to bother with the Steam Frame. Is it just f

Thanks. This was great.

I'm pretty sure I have this, for all senses, and I only just learned there's things other than iñner eye (which I only learned of a few months). If people have an "inner taste" or "inner hearing", why bother ea

The device is acoustic. Think of it as a babel fish for telling fire to stop.

It's a big bet to not have a plan for needing power. I expect as LLMs penetrate further, we'll see much more of it, continually running, and doing more 3D work.

That is much fewer LoC than I expected. How is "offline e-reader" handled? Does CUPS retry? Do you do this outside of your LAN?

I just read your original comment "is this any conceptually different from using PKCS11 provider for TPM in OpenSSL?" and yes, I agree it's not conceptually different. Sorry to have missed that!

by flippingheck 19d ago
I thought you was suggesting a TPM wasn't needed at all, but a TPM is needed to get quotes. That said, TPM quotes are attesting the value of TPM PCRs which are just registers of hashes (representing the state of the machine). When maki

> is this any conceptually different from using PKCS11 provider for TPM in OpenSSL? PKCS11 doesn't allow you to attest that the key is resident in the PKCS11 provider, which as you say, the author alludes to, but doesn't cover.

Yeah, a typical TPM chip has much lower throughput than OP. Not suitable for servers, since it's such an easy DoS vector.

TPM is just a spec, it isn't necessarily a black box. ARM TrustZone, for example, can run this OSS TPM: https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_ftpm I expect there are equivalents for Intel/AMD.

Does that somehow also explain why many (most?) desktop users survive with just a browser? To be clear, I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm saying I don't understand.
