Good times! My first programming language :)

I remember sitting in class in school, writing out programs on paper for me to try out at home

There's many fields where LLMs perform better than webdev. Personal examples including embedded development and reverse engineering

I love the https://www.squiggle-language.com/ for playing around with things like that, although it's closer to programming than Excel

Assuming things are configured correctly, the TPM would only provide the key to unlock the drive if the correct OS has been booted. Attempting to boot from a live usb to have a look at the data wouldn't work, since the TPM wouldn't present the key required.

You can see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module#PCR... for an example of doing so

A person wouldn't be able to pull the disk to get at the information

Even just giving the image and "do image analysis to figure out what it says" to your LLM will get it done

How does this work, technically?

Does it try guess the upstream by SNI / Host header and forward the data on? That'd only work for http(s) though.

Still a work in progress, but planning on publishing a post when it's complete

I use them for game AI

There's significant amounts of traffic going through transfer stations [1], which is then re-sold to the model labs. For a while the DeepSeek API was serving Fable as the DS 4 Pro model even. [2]

There is! https://valetudo.cloud/

Well that's on me for assuming :/ I assumed that it did, based on it being explained in the blog post

Not necessarily. The RTS/CTS pins on the serial port are there for the device to tell the host "stop sending data, I need to process the data already sent"

The reason this doesn't work is that USB adapters don't have those pins, and thus assume you can send it at 30kbaud - not respecting when the device says it must pause sending data.

By introducing a static flow rate below what the CPU can handle, it should theoretically keep the flow rate below the threshold that the CPU starts to choke at

I've implemented the same idea with OpenCL: https://github.com/theblazehen/vramblk

There is originally https://github.com/Overv/vramfs however that has the overhead of a FUSE filesystem + loop device when using as a swap device.

The performance is rather lackluster however, it's far from a miracle "now you effectively have more ram for a 90% performance drop" - it definitely feels like traditional swapping

For me personally, it's because it retains the same window position, and I get back what I had before when it closes. If GUIs worked more like they did with windows in plan9, I'd definitely use them more

Yeah, copilot is only my backup - Codex and Claude are my primary, where it's per-token. Just looked up my user prompt count from my opencode db

I think we use it differently then, I tend to go heavy on the back and forth.

For speccing things out, I have a back-and-forth with the grill-me skill, break things down into tickets, as well as kicking off subagents. That said, I significantly overestimated the number of human messages I send.

My daily 90th percentile wrt number of prompts sent is sitting at 160 queries / day and average at 97 queries / day.

Ran an analysis of my last 2000 messages, with the following breakdown

Task delegation / execution: 23% Investigation / diagnosis / “what’s going on?”: 21% Planning / architecture / brainstorming: 15% Testing / verification / release ops: 10% Review / cleanup / quality control: 9% Course-correction / constraints / preferences: 8% Agent / ticket / workflow orchestration: 6% Providing context / evidence / pasted material: 4% Social reactions / acknowledgements / vibes: 2% Other: 2%

300 prompts in a day isn't that unreasonable to achieve on a heavy day? And Opus has a significant multiplier as well

> models are judged by GPT-4

An interesting choice

There's a hard limit of 4 displays on Nvidia, even if they're chained via MST - that is how I have a couple of them already. I don't have the PCI-e slots for a second GPU

HN second-chance bump just had to happen when I had a power outage... Back up now :)

I'm unironically working on a proxy that filters sites like reddit, hn, etc by using user provided LLM rules
