TFA takes us on this journey and then at the end, "Image maps ended up not working for us" without telling us what they did. My money is on JavaScript for that "expressive" aspect of the hover.

Still. My god.

5 year old low end Motorola Android with Firefox and ublock. Smooth as a baby's bottom. Genuinely surprised!

Jokes on you, I do have a fortinet which does this.... Oh wait, only up to TLS 1.1 or something and it's slow.

I forgot the name of the software but there used to be a few tools to terminate and reencrypt. But yeah dnssec is it's own challenge

OpenwebUI and you can run quantized or low end models (Llama 3 4b or gemma 4b) on a 4-6gb graphic card.

It's a game changer to run local (no usage caps for a weekend blitz project)

My understanding is the opposite, see papers for "synthetic" data training. They use a small bit if real data to generate lots of synthetic data and get usable results.

The bias leans towards overfitting the data, which in some use cases - such as missile or drone design which doesn't need broad comparisons like 747s or artillery to complete it's training.

Kind of like neural net back propogation but in terms of model /weights

I can't figure out how to download your comment. (Written in a serif font textarea which will show up as a generic arial)

Too hard (and i help my wife with crosswords).

Hint mode (put one letter in place) would be the best UI

Nirsoft saved my ass so many times on different things. I remember when I lived somewhere without (reliable or consistent) internet access, I scraped all the tools to take with me. They still are in my tools folder to this day!

Li-fi. This combined with ultrasonic and we'll be surrounded by non radio signals!

A well-rounded take in an age and medium of reactionary hot takes!

While theres some synchronistic effects... I think the physical manufacturing and logistics base is harder to develop than deploying a new model, and will be the hard leading edge. (That's why the US seems to be hellbent on destroying international trade to try and build a domestic market.)

Thanks for this, I still provision with a bash script.

Agreed. Been around long enough to see u/sers from another site change the culture here subtly.

There was an interesting FB engineering post here about cost benefits to using a QLC storage layer... No comments. I feel like a lot of technical people nowadays don't even appreciate that we get FAANG engineering blogs and talking about hardware. Maybe I'm just jaded from having worked in a data center.

So say we all.

My non-tech friends call me paranoid at the basic level of protection I do - separate browsers for everything, and a couple of VMs for e.g. finances.

Vlan has always been an important part of LAN security but we're just out here with always on, full Internet access? My home firewall logs show an insane amount of bot / scraping etc.

Typed data?! What's next, unit tests? Memory safety? Where will it stop?
