I see more and more website use multiple inputs with JavaScript to handle automatically moving from one to the other for OTP codes, including GitHub. It's always buggy because the devs reimplement basic navigation (focus, deletion, arrow keys, etc.) and it turns out that stuff is hard to get right, so they get it wrong. Often, just typing too fast breaks those inputs (<https://github.com/login/device/> for example).

A simple input is much better, even at the cost of a UI that is slightly more ambigous for the user on desktop (on mobile, there's a bagillion things to make inputting OTP codes easy).
Thanks. That cheered me up, and I've only got as far as https://www.sigbovik.org/2023/proceedings.pdf
Wait until these guys hear about WebUSB, WebSerialPort, WebBootloader, WebFirmware, and WebHardDiskPartitioner!

I hear they are working on even more APIs for TheWeb(tm).
This doesn’t seem correct to me. I saw in an Ollama issue mentioned in another comment, an Ollama contributor said:

> As you pointed out, we carry patches, although in general we try to upstream those.

So I followed the link to his profile and saw that he has opened some non-documentation pull requests for llama.cpp:

https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/5244

https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/5576

I didn’t dig any deeper, but it took me less than thirty seconds to find those so I expect there are more.

I don't know what world view of yours that I'm challenging. Self reflect on that. Where did I say my mom has a memory of a conversation at all? I have a memory of a conversation and an earlier memory. Do you really not recall having had conversations, especially when learning something new, from when you were young? If it is my mom's memory, do you not recall the last time you were somewhere else? Like, you couldn't name the year you had a surgery?

My mom and I, while I was 12, had a conversation. The conversation was about early memories. During that conversation I told of my earliest memory to which my mom replied, in that conversation, that that building and appointment(s) were from when I was 18 months old.

I was twelve when I learned what my age was at the time of the early memory. I am now much older than twelve and I recall this conversation with my mom (and I still recall the memory we were discussing).

She was surprised, when I was twelve, that I had such an early memory.
I know for damn sure I didn't get COVID yet. I don't go outside I don't work I haven't since I really graduated from high school years and years and years ago because I'm disabled and I got three vaccines so far but the rare time I leave the house for groceries I'm always fully masked in a 3M n95. I've never came down with symptoms and I live alone, I'm pretty ideal unless I got asymptomatic at some point.
It was a very limited implementation of wireless USB. You could only plug in two USB devices and only particular devices worked, if I remember correctly. My suspicion is that the reason it went off the market was because it used UWB and the government put a lot of restrictions on its use so that it couldn't be repurposed for use in military applications. It's very difficult to intercept an encrypted UWB communication link, or to even know it is present. It essentially just looks like a slight raising of the noise floor across a wide band of frequencies. UWB was required to get the necessary bandwidth, doing USB across WiFi would probably cause timing errors in devices because it would be so slow (at least using 802.11b which was in wide use at the time). I think hardware makers really hated the idea also because a successful wireless USB system would allow sharing hardware between many computers instead of buying a device per computer (consumer NAS was expensive back then). It was also very expensive, about $400 I think, which was a lot at the time for something that had limited functionality. I remember thinking about buying one and decided it wasn't worth it.
This.

It's been same before EU or other similar multiple country things.

Back then some politicians were getting "promoted" into ambassadors of some faraway country, or decided to become university professors, if not flat out sent to "Goli Otok", "Siberia" ...etc.

Since that mentality/way-of-doing politics has been around for a while - it will not be easy to get the political establishment to change.

I don't think the words "middle America" or "secretly clamoring" show up in my comment.

It's fine (good, even, IMO) that you disagree with conservatives (I do as well), but that doesn't mean they don't exist. The "normal people" that you've met, or that I've met, are not a good sample of the range of political viewpoints that exist.

The people who voted for Reagan and HW Bush and John McCain - who was way more popular than any current Republican leader, and put up a strong showing against Barack Obama, the most popular politician of our era - and Mitt Romney haven't all died or joined Trump's weird and actually pretty tiny cult of personality. They're still out there stewing about what has happened to the Republican party.
First of all, they are not violating any license or terms in any form. They add value and enable thousands of people to use local LLMs, that would not be able to do that so easy otherwise. Maybe llama.cpp should mention that Ollama takes care of easy workable access to their functionality…

You could use listening to keys to make input more ergonomic: for example, allowing

Sure.

But this is super low bar mistake. I would bet 90%+ of general population would not know this was an error at all.

But, what is prevalent today, is to pile scorn on to educational bodies. So to take a really minor grammar error, in a rather small and niche paper, and extrapolate to a condemnation of the entire institute, is really obviously politically motivated.

I'm sure that makes the medicine go down easier, but we're not powerless at all. We choose to have no say. We choose not to run our own campaigns and get grassroots approval. Less than half of us vote. The rest accept the status quo, despite the fact that they don't have to. We give away our power.

All of the methods by which a dark horse can run and win are there. The state will not remove your votes or intimidate voters not to vote for you. You will not be poisoned by radioactive toxins to prevent you from running. You will not be kidnapped, or your family threatened, or a bomb set off in polling locations. This isn't in any way like so many other actually repressive regimes. All you have to do is go and run.

We have more power in this society than anyone in any other. So why do we claim we're powerless? Because it makes us feel better that we're so lazy. I could run for office, but that might restrict my time watching The Office. Better to just say that running is pointless, so I don't have to make the change I want to see.

And even if you don't want to run, you can vote for independents, you can complain to your representatives, you can organize your friends and neighbors to petition local government for local reforms and participate in larger state and federal efforts. Individually we may be a drop in the bucket, but collectively we are a wave. You can't say that isn't powerful.

Whatever happened to pico projectors embedding in phones?"
"Back around 2007, when I was at Syndiant, we started looking at the pico projector market, talked to many of the major cell phones and several PC companies, and almost everyone had at least an R&D program working on pico projectors. Additionally, there were market forecasts for the rapid growth of embedded pico projectors in 2009 and beyond. This convinced us to develop a small liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) microdisplay for embedded pico projectors. With so many companies saying they needed pico projectors, it seemed like a good idea at the time. How could so many people be wrong?"
I remember playing a game called Star Control 3 ages ago. What happened? Was there multiple attempts of making SC3?

Aah yes. Classic cult tactics. If anyone calls you out on your nonsense, they are all haters. Recently saw this guy Alex Hormozi, complete scammer, use this strategy on YouTube.
I agree, but I think a lot of Americans never had that kind of a strong family unit helping each other out.

Until the 2010s, it was fairly socially expected that you'd move out of your parents house at 18 and either find a job or go to college, and do all that on your own dime.

It was always a weird concept for me coming from an immigrant family where we all pitch in together to help each other, but a relatively large minority of Americans (maybe 15-20% actively chose not to) and a large majority (maybe 20-30%) didn't have the means to.

For what it's worth the scaling costs for their service are quite low. Tailscale connections are almost entirely peer to peer after an initial NAT busting operation. They can afford to do a loss leader like this and the product is actually so good that I've recommended it to a number of places. It's literally the first VPN that I think is worth paying for. I wouldn't have known that if the free tier didn't exist. Using is believing in their case. It's not uncommon to be literally angry at how easy it is to set up/manage/deploy given how much of a trash fire most vpn software is.

Laws like this don't appear out of thin air, those ideas come from member states and are voted on by politicians from all those member states. So without the EU stuff like this would have to be fought against in each individual state, because of course every government loves surveillance and will sooner or later try to increase it.
Well Germany is were I live, but if you are any EU citizen you are technically free to come live in Germany, but then you will get your mouth shut and your thoughts policed by the very many German bodies, governmental and otherwise. So in a way even as a non-German you are still affected.

I simply don't understand what they did here, and this press release doesn't actually say what they did.

> The team was able to track changes in the cache by filling it themselves using code in the JavaScript via WebGPU and monitoring when their own data was removed from the cache by input. This made it possible to analyse the keystrokes relatively quickly and accurately. By segmenting the cache more finely, the researchers were also able to use a second attack to set up their own secret communication channel, in which filled and unfilled cache segments served as zeros and ones and thus as the basis for binary code. They used 1024 of these cache segments and achieved transfer speeds of up to 10.9 kilobytes per second, which was fast enough to transfer simple information. Attackers can use this channel to extract data that they were able to attain using other attacks in areas of the computer that are disconnected from the internet.

I don't understand which cache they're talking about, and why this has anything to do with keystrokes. And suggesting the use of cache invalidation to transmit information from one process to the browser doesn't really sound like a very concerning attack vector (how did you get a process running on the host computer in the first place, but without Internet access?)

> The third attack targeted AES encryption, which is used to encrypt documents, connections and servers. Here, too, they filled up the cache, but with their own AES encryption. The reaction of the cache enabled them to identify the places in the system that are responsible for encryption and access the keys of the attacked system.

Sorry, what? No part of this tracks for me. Who is even using the GPU for AES encryption? Or is this looking at the CPU cache by way of webgpu?

If there's good work being done here, this article is frankly doing it a massive disservice.

Because on smart phones you can't do always on recording or control the lock screen. The real game changer AI devices will bring is when they always on record which you can't do without controlling the hardware.

So nobody should be an inventor unless they are employees of a corporation that can afford to commercialize everything they make?

What does the patent even do- protect the rights of the most successful company? At what point does it get taken away from the company that couldn't make enough (what's the dollar threshold?) and to which company is it given (or do they all just use it at once, and then the most successful is awarded the patent, and the rest have to pay arbitrary licensing fees to the winner?)?
"percentage of income taxes born" =/= "Effective Tax Rate"

For instance, if the top 1%/millionaires earned more income (as a proportion), you'd expect the "percentage of income taxes born" figure to go up, even if the effective tax rates remained constant or dipped slightly.
This is an overly simplistic take.

Java hasn't taken that much from Kotlin really, sometimes even gone in a completely opposite direction (for instance with Loom).

Java has taken a few things from Scala but I would hardly call them the best features. Java will never adopt what truly makes Scala stand out, on purpose.

How do you "untrust" a single person's key under this scheme? You would have to visit all of the machines and remove them from the authorized keys file.
I agree openai models are by far the best, regardless of papers claiming otherwise according to some strange tests and metrics.

We are also using pagemaker hosted open source models, fine tuned for specific use cases. But even then they can't really compete with standard openai models.
Yeah, it's a very aggressive statement. The product as-is is obviously pretty crappy, but I do believe there's a reasonable path forwards imaginable.

The hardware itself seems to be decent-ish, albeit suffering from the usual first-gen issues. The AI-focused software stack is currently quite bad, but software is easy to update. Pair it with a smartphone, allow 3rd party apps, and it's essentially an alternative to a smartwatch. You lose the screen, but you gain a camera. I'd probably be quite tempted to buy a gen2 myself, even if all the AI stuff doesn't work out.
Yeah, but he had an out which was just an apology and a commitment to do better. That's not an unreasonable ask when employees are worried about their boss being politically and actively opposed to their marriages.
