I’m pretty sure “managing up” refers to the extra work the IC needs to do so that their non-technical manager doesn’t look incompetent to their own manager.
Be careful running this on work machines – it will get flagged by Crowdstrike Falcon and probably other EDR tools. In my case the first time I tried it, I just saw “Killed” and then got a DM from SecOps within two minutes.
the irony, preventing and killing something that is actually useful, while we let crowdcrap hum along consuming tons of memory and bottlenecking IO so it can do snakeoil things...
Nah nothing to do with LLMs, it’s just because the method of Llamafile is very similar to malware - basically zip up an executable, concatenate it with some stuff, throw it in /tmp and execute it with a randomly generated high entropy name.
(That said, after I explained it to SecOps they did tell me I would need to “consult legal” if I wanted to use a local LLM, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt there…)
Datacenter IPs can’t even post at all, nevermind needing to solve a CAPTCHA. That’s why the accusations of “VPN shill” are usually wrong, as is the assumption of anonymity – 4chan is in fact one of the least anonymous sites on the internet. The optional username feature gives it a veneer of anonymity, but the strict IP requirements ensure almost every post is attributable to a residential internet connection, and reliably associable with other posts from that same connection.
Some datacenter IPs can post fine, mostly just not those belonging to any large hosting company. I would mention a list of ones I know aren't blocked, but, well, that might get them blocked.
That’s surprising to me. I assumed they were using some service (like Cloudflare) with an updated list of non-residential IP addresses.
I’ve only ever tried to post through Cloudflare WARP (or Apple Private Relay, which is also Cloudflare but different exit IP range). Once I realized that didn’t work, I thought maybe it wasn’t worth posting at all :) I don’t like the idea of my ISP having any suspicion I posted to 4Chan (even if it’s technically https yadda yadda…)
That’s attributable with the right warrant and correlation with other data available to the ISP.
CGNAT is not an anonymity mechanism – at best it may be a very crude one, but the carriers will make extra effort to remove that anonymity through logging, retention, and segmentation.
Some mobile users can post but I think they've gone so far as to ban entire ISP mobile IP ranges to prevent people from constantly rolling new IPs on their phone.
Nice callback to Moot banning an entire Australian region (Queensland or Victoria, if memory serves) because Aussies did an outsized share of shitposting, and of Aussies those particular ones were the worst.
That’s true, but to be fair my original comment also said posts would be reliably associable with other posts from the same IP. With CGNAT, that association will be slightly less reliable, but not meaningfully so. The segment of the population who posts on 4chan is so low that there is negligible chance of two 4chan users sharing an exit IP and time window. Even with non-overlapping time windows, the population will be low enough for stylometry (and other factors) to remove any remaining ambiguity.
ChatGPT has eliminated this class of problem for me. In fact it’s pretty much all I use it for. Whether it’s ffmpeg, tcpdump, imagemagick, SSH tunnels, Pandas, numpy, or some other esoteric program with its own DSL… ChatGPT can construct the arguments I need. And if it gets it wrong, it’s usually one prompt away from fixing it.
It depends what the consumer is doing with the data as it exits the buffer. If it’s a terminal program printing every character, then it’s going to be slow. Or more generally if it’s any program that doesn’t have its own buffering, then it will become the bottleneck so the slowdown will depend on how it processes input.
Ultimately even “no buffer” still has a buffer, which is the number of bits it reads at a time. Maybe that’s 1, or 64, but it still needs some boundary between iterations.
Yep. I use unnecessary cats when I’m using the shell interactively, and especially when I’m building up some complex pipeline of commands by figuring out how to do each step before moving onto the next.
Once I have the final command, if I’m moving it into a shell script, then _maybe_ I’ll switch to file redirection.
One Sec broke my addiction to doomscrolling apps. The feature that makes you look at your face for two seconds when you open the app, while telling you that you last opened it a minute ago, is both hilarious and effective.
has anyone dug into whether one sec is safe (private offline on device as it states)? it requires access to accessibility settings, which means that it could be reading all of you cryptocurrency apps, passwords as well as two-factor authentication
Snowflake schema is obviously the etymology, but the official story is that the founders “really like skiing.” It’s always aggravated me. I just assume the CEO told them to go with that instead.
I purchase most of my tickets last minute simply because I tend to procrastinate. And they’re usually one way tickets because I procrastinate deciding my return date, too. I’ve never been flagged for SSS though. Maybe that’s because the behavior isn’t anomalous for me.
make sure you are shaved (unless of course you have religious or other reasons not to be) - without fail I always get rando select when I am not shaved and literally never when I am shaved. travel on average 7x per year
> Data on seizures seems like a solid start. Why don't they have data on searches?
I thought the Supreme Court found that search _is_ seizure (of your person). Not that I would expect the DEA do categorize them equivalently, of course.
