fubarx,

Your basic small-engine pilot nightmare. That last big building was an extra heart-attack.

Glad they walked away safely.

fubarx,

Not to worry. Someone will build a utility that flashes a spreadsheet image for a millisecond every time the system tries to take a snapshot.

fubarx,

Enterprises IT policy may have a say in that.

fubarx,

There are browser userscripts out there now that do this automatically.

fubarx,

A lot of Amazon used book sales go through Powells or AbeBooks.

Could just go direct.

fubarx,

You still need a massive fleet of these to train those multi-billion parameter models.

On the invocation side, if you have a cloud SaaS service like ChatGPT, hosted Anthropic, or AWS Bedrock, these could answer questions quickly. But they cost a lot to operate at scale. I have a feeling the bean-counters are going to slow down the crazy overspending.

We’re heading into a world where edge computing is more cost and energy efficient to operate. It’s also more privacy-friendly. I’m more enthused about a running these models on our phones and in-home devices. There, the race will be for TOPS vs power savings.

Wisconsin attorney general files felony charges against attorneys, aide who worked for Trump in 2020 (apnews.com)

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony forgery charges Tuesday against two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had won the battleground state in 2020....

“It also includes optimized support for Raspberry Pi SBCs to deliver enhanced performance and compatibility.”

fubarx,

This is so strange.

There’s an AWS service called CodeArtifact (aws.amazon.com/codeartifact/) that’s literally designed to cache binary distributions so you don’t have to keep hitting origin repos.

fubarx,

Is there a requirement for him to stick around and campaign? It sounds like he’s already made his post-election plans. He’s already got the PM gig on his resumé. Why not go now and avoid the abuse? He can claim he’s doing it out of a sense of fairness to give the Tories a fresh start.

fubarx,

Totally agree. I’m paying for beer, not foamy air. And out in these parts, there are no glasses with measuring lines.

Actually sat down and built a spreadsheet to figure out how much a bar or restaurant profited based on how much foam they pour. The numbers are eye-opening.

I’ll have to readjust the tables, though. Met friends at my favorite hangout last night. Overnight, they had bumped the price of a pint by $2 up to $10. May be time to find a new favorite hangout.

“Use this app and all your child’s expenses will be covered until they graduate from college.”

Problem solved.

fubarx,

If I had one, inside the septic tank with a snorkel.

fubarx,

I mainly use it to create placeholder graphics. It’s much better than looking around for open-source clipart. It’s placeholder because most of the output is pretty plastic and unreal. When time comes, will be hiring a real designer who can create actually original content that best fits a specific look and feel.

It’s not a reliable source for actual data, news, or even a good programming aide. Every single time I tried it, it confidently spit out incorrect stuff. Will see how it does generating test cases for a server application project.

It's been around a year since a lot of us quit Reddit, myself included. I'm happy with Lemmy, but I still feel a bit lost online since leaving the old site. Discussion?

Been thinking of making a post like this for some time, apologies if some of this is not completely relevant: this community seems more like it’s about Reddit the platform/product than Reddit the social “thing”, but I’m sure a lot of people have similar experiences to mine. Maybe on some instances more than others....

fubarx,

12+ years on Reddit. Walked away in disgust after the API fiasco and killing Apollo. Found Voyager here and that really helped the transition.

I miss the local subs, especially related to current events, and game day threads of local baseball team. Haven’t found a good replacement (the Athletic has them but they’re harder to navigate). On current events, unless it’s a really big national news story, not much.

Between the loss of Reddit and Twitter, I feel like I’m getting less realtime news. But in retrospect, it didn’t really matter. I’m actually fine reading about something two days later once the outrage has died down.

My daily usage definitely dropped, which is a good thing. I’ve been reading digital and physical books more instead of mostly a diet of audiobooks and podcasts. If there’s some idle time, I dip into a book instead of reflexively checking social media.

FWIW, Lemmy has the same vibe as Reddit 10 years ago. I’m planning on sticking around and contributing more.

fubarx,

How to give land more votes than people. Not long before election results are measured in number of acres.

fubarx,

I haven’t but my kid playing Osu! Lives and breathes the game. Used birthday gift money to buy a special three-button keyboard. Walks around all the time, tapping fingers on every surface.

fubarx,

TPMs have been able to store encryption keys instead of having them stored on disk or embedded inside software. But TPMs were mostly connected to the main system via simple buses like I2C, SPI, or simple UART. People figured out that by sticking a cheap sniffer like the ChipWhisperer, it would be easy to read off those keys while in transit.

Even easier would be to MITM using methods like clock glitching, so they would return fake credentials and get access to everything.

The next generation TPMs allowed on-device private/public key creation using creative random number generation schemes and on-board crypto libraries that couldn’t be tampered with. But there was still the problem of keys going across those open busses.

To solve this problem, you need to have attestations between the main board and TPM which means storing multiple public keys and digital signatures from both sides, either during manufacturing or on first boot.

This way, if someone sniffs the wires, the data stream is asymmetrically encrypted. And with attestation, each side knows they are talking to only the right sender and receiver. Also, no two systems will have a common key, so even if someone de-caps a TPM2 module and gets the keys out, they can’t use it to compromise other devices.

This is where we’re at. Manufacturing and boot processes have to be modified to make sure nothing leaks out and everything stays put.

fubarx,

So many old and new ones. But if I had to pick one: American Pie by Don McLean.

fubarx,

It’s Elmer’s Glue. Kindergartners have been chugging it for years. What’s the problem?
