Unless I'm misreading this, I would also offer `mosh` as a recommendation. Has been nothing but excellent for my use cases.

Have you considered https://authenticator.cc/ ?

I realize it is amusing to even consider offloading OTP generation to a web browser extension however, if `$work` doesn’t want to provide you with the correct hardware (e.g. Yubikey, NitroKey, etc.) there are boundary-respecting alternatives

I'd honestly love to know what framework, theme, or stack is being used here! Looks incredible--great job!
Re:Nvidia DGX Spark on Wednesday March 19, 2025 @06:00AM (#43410001)
I honestly can't say I have however, that doesn't mean it couldn't physically exist/happen? Perhaps a "little" more cost but I'd be willing to bet people would gladly pay the premium for such a device. I'm also very curious to know what the BOM for an A100 actually is as well as HBM2E per GB.
Re:Nvidia DGX Spark on Wednesday March 19, 2025 @04:39AM (#43409504)
Am I missing something here or is inference going to be painful given the "low" memory bandwidth compared to, say, HBM2E?

Wait. Doesn’t this mean you’re just giving PFAS to the blood recipient?

I literally setup an alias last week in O365 Outlook using the pattern [email protected]? I’ve been able to receive and send using the alias as well. Maybe this is a new feature/behavior?
This is the correct set of questions to be asking. I’m a little more than surprised there aren’t some defined processes and automation around high viz workflows/stuff like this. When are people going to take cybersec and opsec seriously? Esp. In big projects?
process/node "size" has, for some time now, been divorced from any actual physical feature on or of the chip/transistor itself. See the second paragraph of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_nm_process for additional details
Yeah! I’m pretty excited to see the re

Is there src of this somewhere, where we can self-host?
Re:What Every Developer Should Know About GPU Computing on Saturday October 21, 2023 @12:10PM (#37968024)
And so it’s a balance :^) I personally take the approach of specializing in what I believe to be my natural talents (i.e. seemingly able to pick up X much easier than whoever) while just being generally aware of new technologies or other spaces/sectors. Also tinkering and/or having a general interest in tech helps lol.. IME doing this has helped me pivot into a new tech or other areas where I may not be specialized in, but may need to eventually be for a new role. Also worth mentioning is taking a pragmatic approach to problem solving in general.. I’ve personally found that if you’re able to demonstrate solid reasoning and/or problem solving, generally learning a new lang or specializing in something different than what you’re used to, isn’t too too bad. I’m not really sure how specialists outside of tech/in other sectors can transition into other roles “easily” though… hm.

Edit: I wanted to mention that IME in STEM, most? More often than not? are goal oriented… It is _completely_ okay to not have any “working” thing at the end of your tinkering/learning… The journey into that “thing” can be a learning experience in and of itself. I’ve often started to learn things but after a certain point have told myself “I’m gonna stop here and that’s okay. I don’t need to have a solid understanding of this, at this time”. YMMV…

I missed the _how_ part? Is it policy/process and automation or more of one than the other or?
