NEAR AI does a lot of things right but with this kind of thing, it only takes one mistake to completely break security. If you look at [0] (the code they run in the CVM), there are a couple of things that worry me: - They ship logs out of t

Chutes, Near AI, Phala and Tinfoil all offer various privacy assurances around inference. Some of the bigger providers also offer "zero data retention". The problem I have with these is that the guarantees aren't strong enoug

I wonder, rather than re-encoding when starting on a B- or P- frame, could you preserve the entire GOP losslessly but make the earlier content "disappear" on playback by shifting PTS, or bundling several frames into a single frame

I've been thinking about buying a system to run LLMs locally but the price for one that'll run Qwen3.8-27B well is quite offputting to say the least. What I've been looking at instead is inference providers that use TEE and E

I think that's reasonable. The goal of the benchmark is to determine how the model performs on real-world tasks. If real-world tasks trigger Anthropic's classifiers, that's a failure on Anthropic's part. I feel that choo

You don't need peak power all the time. The point of trains is that they're extremely efficient; most of the time they're essentially coasting, they only need a lot of power when accelerating or ascending. If you want hard nu

25Gbps is available but not common. Most average people will buy 10Gbps P2MP from Swisscom, Sunrise, Salt etc., the really big companies with marketing all over the cities. Then they'll use WiFi with the default modem and not reach any

by Youden 3mo ago
Not quite. There are some homes where P2MP was installed before the court order that are still P2MP. These still have fiber but only 10Gbps shared, not 25Gbps dedicated. Also, the only ISP that offers 25Gbps is Init7 and they need to have t

It's not always possible, or at least trivial. For example how do you enforce "prefer to reuse existing code over making a copy"? Is there a static analysis tool that will detect two pieces of code that do the same thing?

by Youden 3mo ago
No, my point is that the price is inaccurate because it reflects peak/best conditions output and in Switzerland that isn't accurate. To generate the nominal output in winter, you need 6x as many panels as you would need in another

What's expensive? PTP is widely supported on commodity hardware these days. I think most Intel NICs support it, quite a few Realtek and a lot of embedded stuff, down to even MCUs like STM32. Even if you want a NIC with a stable oscilla

The thing I've learned is that headphones and IEMs can sound completely different to different people, just because of differences in the shape of your ears and ear canal. I bought some custom IEMs and had the opportunity to test ~10 o

1) I wouldn't 100% agree with this. It's not that speakers sound "better" than headphones, it's that speakers don't require any tuning to match a person's specific physiology (e.g. shape of their ears, ear
