in-case core-devs from LE lurk here: check out Cordon, a draft-ietf-plants-merkle-tree-certs-03 compliant CA and ACME server. its being used in a private mixnet now.

bonus points: its AOT compiled dotnet

i asked hackathon judges about this - the net is More than ever teams of one are winning

I guess this goes in parallel with the whole building for one narrative

And while I have ideas to excite and promote LLM use in these style games I've still not been able to crack the human collaboration component that is at the forefront of all of this change

this guy (maxime?) is my hero:

1) shares openly about his journey learning new things (in code, writing, etc) 2) has phenomenal style 3) ive gone through every single one of his blog posts and i dont know what any of it means really but its all beautiful

max if you read this: thanks for sharing. for realz

this is considered a large model. i think you might be surprised how many "small" models chrome has already pulled down on your disk.

but to answer your question: one of the services that uses a small model: PermissionsAIv4

""" Use the Permission Predictions Service and the AIv4 model to surface permission notification requests using a quieter UI when the likelihood of the user granting the permission is predicted to be low. Requires `Make Searches and Browsing Better` to be enabled. – Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android """

on desktop you have read/write access to the chrome "app data"

on android aicore: mediatek, qualcomm, aosp vendors, and google will pull down models you cant touch

now using Moonshine v2 Medium

hotword dict so no more "clawd" "dash" "dot com"

Re:Minions – Stripe's Coding Agents Part 2 on Friday February 20, 2026 @03:44PM (#47093680)
When the norm on HF daily papes is a pdf, a website, & a git, corp. thinkpieces like this are going to have to work a lot harder to get any meaningful engagement and onward corp word-of-mouth. like i now think stripe has fallen a but, where before they were tier...

this is the risk you run putting out subpar content in a world where the norms and appetites shift daily. slightly unfair? yes, as stripe has never been one to shine in the "corp infra open source" category tho; Which is crazy because it doesn't reflect the ridiculous talent they have internally.

I looked into how rust does does it for rustup, and they have a pretty amazing set of gh actions to build for their architectures, I can't find the GH link now tho

for speed you can look for vendors like https://depot.dev/

2) this project includes source for the local mcp server, but not for its chrome extension, which is likely bundling https://github.com/ruifigueira/playwright-crx without attribution

Re:FCC Unlocks Spectrum to Support Advanced Satellite Services on Thursday September 26, 2024 @08:17PM (#41664997)
The amount of spectrum the US military "owns" in the United States is absurd and needs to be adjusted - and at this point the excuses for why they can't vacate are making them look geriatric

Yet another reminder. What happens when you have organizations that aren't beholden to outside pressure

Re:Gnet is the fastest networking framework in Go on Thursday March 14, 2024 @08:47PM (#39710869)
the perf is for plaintext? why not encoded?

no quic / h3 ?

love the work and that it's open source but let's push the envelope!

this is dope! I bought a pair of pinebuds to do something similar but got pulled into another project.

my use case was to tape one pine bud to my shoulder to wear all day, and it would bluetooth connect to my android keyboard app, with the simple goals

#1) always record my voice even if I have another headset connected to the phone. I.e., do not get interrupted by incoming calls, spotify, or other bluetooth jank

#2) only do STT on my voice, bonus if you can figure out context and only do STT when i'm talking to the phone (via eyeballs?)

#3) always put the generated STT into a form, or if no form has focus, spawn a new browser tab and put focus on the search-input form

that's all. fin

Re:Cloudy with a Chance of Insanity: Unsticking iCloud Drive on Friday October 13, 2023 @07:56PM (#37876861)
increasingly my mac has critical issues that are undebuggable due to apple services (family sharing, etc)

For about 3 months my mac had 1second network delays when opening any new connections, but only sometimes? The console wasn't much help as the failing services were all secret apple things with error/failures but no usable logs.

good luck
