Data Laundering is an old term... I was using in more than a decade ago in talks about how unethically gathered private data was being sold to Israeli companies, who then licensed it back to US corporations. It was (probably still is) a way

Excellent article and the methods described are accurate. I was speaking extensively about this from 2017-2020 and the usual reaction when I talked about this was disbelief. I was not surprised when In-Q-Tel came calling. I pitched them a m

I don't have benchmarks but I built a protocol that QUIC later turned out to be eerily similar to. It was a direct replacement for TCP and we used it to provide an additional layer of encryption for all traffic on a given network betwe

What's funny is that I was once extremely optimistic about the potential for such a device, to the extent of having sold and delivered a few million in product. Hard experience taught us that churn is just crazy high, no matter how com

Sadly for the AdGuard team, there isn't much of an audience for this. It's one of those things everyone says they want but few people will actually install one, much less maintain one over time. Add to that the wife-forced uninsta

Sorry, but this is a terrible idea that is going to stifle innovation and make it much harder for startups and small companies to compete. The government simply doesn't need to get involved in this. There is already an incredibly robus

Ah, Go. I wrote a whole networking stack in it a few years back. I admit, I did get an incredible amount of performance from a very limited bit of hardware with it. However, it was dependency and module hell. Even the Go expert couldn'

Markets are not efficient much of the time. And Bitcoin even less so. Source; I make a living exploiting market inefficiencies.

How much VRAM does that model need? I'm looking for a 30B byte that I can train a LORA with on an GTX 4090.

After you have a detailed cost estimate, triple it to account for inevitable cost overruns due to various "unanticipated" reasons, which always materialize, eg: tooling error, parts out of stock, incorrect tolerance, Chinese new

Well, this sounds remarkably similar to our story. We were fortunate that we didn't experience serious manufacturing issues. We had built in some padding for inevitable delays and cost overruns. We ended up shipping all of our units on

This is such a silly statement. You could say it about practically anything. "Your grandfather was a brilliant man and his peers all praised him. Go ask him about it!" "Grandfather, what did you spend your life on?" &quo
