Can someone also comment on how secure the built in password in manager in Firefox is to unsophisticated malware attacks that simply copy your browser extension data and such. Compared to bitwarden which requires a password to unlock it, and as I understand stores everything encrypted on disk.

I recently experimented with running llama-3.1-8b-instruct locally on my Consumer hardware, aka my Nvidia RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM, as I wanted to experiment with prompting pdfs with a large context which is extremely expensive with how LLMs are priced.

I was able to fit the model with decent speeds (30 tokens/seconds) and a 20k token context completely on the GPU.

For summarization, the performance of these models are decent enough. However unfortunately in my use case I felt using Gemini's Free Tier with it's multimodal capabilities and much better quality output made running local LLMs not really worth it as of right now, atleast for consumers.

Where was the off by one error? I read the article and didn't find any mention of it.

Why is low latency livestream so hard, while at the same time Cloud Gaming Tech like Nvidia Gamestream and such can have such a flawless experience?

I've used Moonlight + Nvidia Gamestream with ~40ms RTT and couldn't feel a difference in competitive shooters, so total latency must be pretty low.

Does it have something to do with the bandwidth requirements? (1 stream v/s potentially hundreds)

Was this laptop in question from Hewlett Packard (HP)? Because I swear I've seen this exact behaviour on a HP laptop.

Well there are a couple of ways one can do this!

1. Recursively lookup DNS, so domains will have to be blocked at the registrar level, since DNS is unencrypted, it can be blocked at ISP level as well.

2. Use a protocol alternative to DNS, a good mature example is GNS. It aims to replace DNS, with a built from group up, modernish protocol. Using a DHT and public-key cryptography.

3. There are "block chain" solutions to the whole domain problem, look at Handshake, ENS etc.

I wanted to play around with this! But too bad I have a Samsung Snapdragon :(

And it doesn't expose ADR/carrier phase.

Are there any observable effects of such events that I can see on everyday equipment? Something like increased Bit Flips caused by Cosmic Rays or such?

I really shouldn't be the one to doubt, considering the size we've seen computers go from and to. But is it even possible to fit all that in that size? Like as I understand optics limits a lot about how far the screen has to be, even with the use of lenses. And it wouldn't be fully passthrough if they use the Google glass like approach as I understand?

For people who might be wondering why git hasn't moved to sha256 yet, here's a lwn article on it: https://lwn.net/Articles/898522/

there is a Open issue from 2017 about pressure sensitivity [1] but seems like the author does not plan to actively maintain the project.

Honestly I'll play around a little to see if can quickly add that functionality.

EDIT: Just made a quick and dirty pull request, a live version here: https://brushpaint.pages.dev/ Now If someone puts more time into this they could: Add support for tilted pens (Change bristle direction based on tilt, my pen doesn't support tilt.) Also the scaling is linear, which is probably not perfect.
