I heard it's been a difficult project to justify spending the research/computer time on at scale, because the models use an equivalent amount of compute for training and inference, but more parallelizable. So 5 times more compute

Technically Pixel 6 has the pKVM feature too (I have the terminal app from the feature drop when it was added). We're just missing DP alt mode introduced from Pixel 8 onwards

I do wonder if part of it is down to Android default animation speeds.... Pixel 6 here, Gboard snappy enough. Something I do on every android device I own though is go into developer settings and change all the animation durations to 0.5

Reading through their guidance they don't really mention anything about password strength indicators being a good or bad idea. Sure, they list out a set of rules to verify passwords by and state no OTHER arbitrary rules should be incl

Thankyou! I checked with IPQS and my residential IP had been flagged for being "a proxy". I routinely SSH VPN (sshuttle) into my home network to do things so maybe that's why.

That's inconsistent messaging from Corsair, then. Parent comment quotes the times they're like "ehh, they're same thing, don't worry about it" and then they go on to say "well TECHNICALLY there's a t

Thanks, I'd not found these yet! Very helpful :) > Until you know more, strongly consider suggesting the company just hires someone who knows that. Just because you're available to do it, doesn't mean you should just yet.

I'm in that boat. I'm watching all of Christoph Paar's cryptography lecture series on YouTube -- it was recorded in 2010, so I do wonder if it's missing any new state of the art / best practises. I'm like 18 l

Chromecast Audios are still easy to pick up on eBay (or if you're in the UK, CeX, that's where I got one). Any old cheap plug tied to Home Assistant (or plain old Google Home in my case) for auto powering on my Cambridge Audio amp

Firefox mobile is great for this too. uBlock + sponsorblock + the fact that FF continues playing media when it's backgrounded make listening to long videos (like publicly recorded university lectures etc) a real breeze, it's a go

What, in the post you are replying to, would you consider "bad behaviour"? Seriously, give us some examples!

I think you have good points in your middle paragraph, but I disagree with your first sentence. I can see a growing trend of dismissive "this reads like it's AI-generated" when I frankly think it has been written like that

The way I've implemented SSE is to make use of the fact it can also act like HTTP long-polling when the GET request is initially opened. The SSE events can be given timestamps or UUIDs and then subsequent requests can include the last

I can sum this article up as "I can listen to an album with a feature turned off, and listen to it again with the feature turned on, and it will sound different". That... Doesn't feel like a problem to me? First music I reme

Being nitpicky about Python specifically, Python not necessarily single-threaded; gunicorn gets you a multiprocess HTTP/WSGI server if you configure it to. asyncio and gevent have made it easier to do things actually-concurrently. J

Fun reasons why my home network is still on IPv4: IPv6 drains my girlfriend's phone battery :-) Something to do with Router Advertisement intervals being too short, though I don't get why that only affects her ~5yo android phone.
