The 99% is with regards to cached inputs. It seems to now at the same price as deepseek v4-pro

As a now almost 15 year long user (crazy to think about) of 1password I am unsure what attacks do you mean? Did passwords get lost and it was not disclosed or what did you mean by the lack of transparency?

Great idea! I'd like to make a german version, since the two digit numbers are sorted differently. E.g. 34 is sorted vier(4)_und_dreißig(30).

Judging by the Openrouter-Rankings it is No. 1 or 2 in token usage, depending on the view (daily, weekly, monthly).

Yes, I will never buy 16:9 again. On laptops 16:10 is already quite often and sometimes even 3:2 (Framework, Surfacebook).

For my desktop I am looking forward to getting a 3:2 monitor like the Benq RD280U

We used the 1GbE version in an outdoor setting to easily connect multiple sensors in a port within a research project. Good reliability and being able to extend and "split" the ethernet connection without additional power supplies was very convenient.

We did not integrate them into a UniFi ecosystem, just used the PoE and dumb-switch functionality.

Thank you for this suggestion!

For Laptops 16:10 (and with the framework and surface even 15:10/3:2) is already quite common, while in the desktop market 16:9 and these ultrawides are dominant.

With 16:9 the whitespace on websites even with Tabs on the side is simply to high ;)

Okay, that article is a little bit shallow. I just summarises the headlines of the last weeks of circular deals. But is there also a more in depth article that sheds a little more light onto what this actually means? From a financial perspective?

I could not compare it completely, but it sounds very much like this talk that I saw many years ago at the CCC.

You can do this with many terminal emulators on linux too. I did it with konsole and tilix, just change the copy and paste shortcut and you get this "natural copy" behavior.

Could this be used for a selfhosted handwritten text recognition instance?

Like writing on an ePaper tablet, exporting the PDF and feed this into this model to extract todos from notes for example.

Or what would be the SotA for this application?

How does it work with H265? My last info was, that WebRTC only supports H264 and VP8. It would be great to stream H265 via WebRTC.

New comment by Flockster in "iLeakage: Browser-Based Timerless Speculative Execution Attacks on Apple Devices"

Flockster — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 17:40:40 +0000

> However, iOS has a different situation. Due to Apple's App Store and sandboxing policies, other browser apps are forced to use Safari's JavaScript engine. That is, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on iOS are simply wrappers on top of Safari that provide auxiliary features such as synchronizing bookmarks and settings. Consequently, nearly every browser application listed on the App Store is vulnerable to iLeakage.

This should be a reason to lift this policy and allow different engines on these devices!
