Can someone also comment on how secure the built in password in manager in Firefox is to unsophisticated malware attacks that simply copy your browser extension data and such. Compared to bitwarden which requires a password to unlock it, and as I understand stores everything encrypted on disk.

I recently experimented with running llama-3.1-8b-instruct locally on my Consumer hardware, aka my Nvidia RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM, as I wanted to experiment with prompting pdfs with a large context which is extremely expensive with how LLMs are priced.

I was able to fit the model with decent speeds (30 tokens/seconds) and a 20k token context completely on the GPU.

For summarization, the performance of these models are decent enough. However unfortunately in my use case I felt using Gemini's Free Tier with it's multimodal capabilities and much better quality output made running local LLMs not really worth it as of right now, atleast for consumers.

Where was the off by one error? I read the article and didn't find any mention of it.

Anunayj — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 04:30:25 +0000

Why is low latency livestream so hard, while at the same time Cloud Gaming Tech like Nvidia Gamestream and such can have such a flawless experience?

I've used Moonlight + Nvidia Gamestream with ~40ms RTT and couldn't feel a difference in competitive shooters, so total latency must be pretty low.

Does it have something to do with the bandwidth requirements? (1 stream v/s potentially hundreds)

Was this laptop in question from Hewlett Packard (HP)? Because I swear I've seen this exact behaviour on a HP laptop.

Well there are a couple of ways one can do this!

1. Recursively lookup DNS, so domains will have to be blocked at the registrar level, since DNS is unencrypted, it can be blocked at ISP level as well.

2. Use a protocol alternative to DNS, a good mature example is GNS. It aims to replace DNS, with a built from group up, modernish protocol. Using a DHT and public-key cryptography.

3. There are "block chain" solutions to the whole domain problem, look at Handshake, ENS etc.

I wanted to play around with this! But too bad I have a Samsung Snapdragon :(

And it doesn't expose ADR/carrier phase.

Are there any observable effects of such events that I can see on everyday equipment? Something like increased Bit Flips caused by Cosmic Rays or such?

New comment by Anunayj in "Tried Vision Pro. Here's what I thought"

Anunayj — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 23:44:47 +0000

I really shouldn't be the one to doubt, considering the size we've seen computers go from and to. But is it even possible to fit all that in that size? Like as I understand optics limits a lot about how far the screen has to be, even with the use of lenses. And it wouldn't be fully passthrough if they use the Google glass like approach as I understand?

What is a ARPA email address? I've never heard of it. Did they look different from normal SMTP email address used today? Or was it like your email server just supported ARPA and not SMTP.

Anunayj — Sat, 16 Dec 2023 23:44:56 +0000

Hey atleast it wasn't a RSA key. Though for this reason I just have my public key publicly accessible (For instance github exposes all of user's public keys) and just curl it in.

The Whisper API provides timestamped subtitle files, so that's a non issue, all you have to do is extract the audio, split and upload

Ah yes, sorry I thought you meant can't we just use plaintext DNS + DNSSEC.

Yes, however it defeats one of the main point of ECH, that is encrypting the SNI. Since the domain is leaked in plaintext DNS.

Space Exploration is frankly a pretty awesome mod, however I think you should only pick it up if you plan to invest atleast ~500 (more) hours into the game. I'm almost halfway through a run and it's been awesome. It gets more fun as it goes on.

I noticed this too! The reddit webapp on mobile was pretty much unusable before and would constantly ask me to download the app. Accidentally visited it a few days ago and was surprised it didn't happen.
