<p>I think something like IPFS is definitely needed. There is nothing stopping you from distributing a webapp on bittorrent but you'll also need to add a README for instructions on how to run the webapp on localhost so a browser can render it. So thats not something that any non-technical user wants to do.</p>

<p>This is really unfortunate. When cloudflare dropped IPFS you could say this next step was sort of already on the way. I may be biased but I think when IPFS decided to put so much time into "IPNS" in order to support non-static webapps years ago what they came up with did not fit the need. And without webapps on IPFS things were going nowhere.<p>A year or so ago I wrote IPFS-boot which allows serving webapps on IPFS while providing also an update path and without breaking content hashing:<p><a href="https://github.com/rhodey/IPFS-boot" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rhodey/IPFS-boot</a><p>But now if you want to serve a secure webapp and not use IPFS IMO the only option you have is to tell users to install Tailscale and to host the webapp themselves and then to install Tailscale on all devices.</p>

<p>IMO this is the right move.<p>OpenAI messed up and they are saying they will pause so they can do better.<p>They are not saying that other orgs who may already be doing better should pause.</p>

<p>Hi! thanks for the feedback!<p>I think you are right. I thought "Call" would clearly get the idea of voice across at least, but it can be confused with function call, or simply to invoke.<p>I dont have the ability to change the title but if someone else wants to:<p>"Video and Voice Call an AI from Signal"<p>Else maybe I will submit it again in a few days.<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hecate is an AI you can voice and video call from Signal iOS and Android. This works by installing Signal into an Android emulator and controlling the virtual camera and microphone. Tinfoil.sh is used for private inference.</p>

<p>Attestation always involves a "document" or a "quote" (two names for basically a byte buffer) and a signature from someone. Intel SGX & TDX => signature from intel. AMD SEV => signature from amd. AWS Nitro Enclaves => signature from aws.<p>Clients who want to talk to a service which has attestation send a nonce, and get back a doc with the nonce in it, and the clients have somewhere in them a hard coded certificate from Intel, AMD, AWS and they check that the doc has a good sig.</p>

<p>I am glad for this feature<p>If I have anyone's attention there is something related I would like to see<p>Please add a small thing which users can look for on the public: repo/actions page<p>This small thing should let users know the action was run by github like is default and not run on a custom / private action runner<p>The private action runner feature makes sense but many projects tell users to look to the github action history to trust that tests A, B, C passed. If the github action ran on a private action runner then you really cannot trust that what is in e.g. run.yml actually ran<p>The attestation feature can be used to prove that an action was run by github and not by private / custom but users need to install the github cli to validate attestations and this is a heavy ask when I think an addition icon on repo/actions page or a diff icon color will do better</p>
