It seems like the H100 gpu itself has some kind of secure execution environment built in. Not sure of the details but it appears that all data going to and from the gpu will be encrypted.

Yes, the TEE is CPU + H100 GPU.

This lacks formulas?

If anyone is interested i can recomment org-mode tables which looks more feature rich than visidata: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-spreadsheet-intro...

Much as I love org-mode tables, I'd say the only axis where an org table is more feature rich is the formula support. Visidata is an amazing multitool for exploring tabular data that supports many data sources. From an ergonomic perspective, visidata wins.

And the developer experience is horrible when working with AMD. They don’t even accept driver crash bug reports.

People say that as if the Nvidia experience is better. Nvidia also has a horrible developer experience.

Claude Code is a TUI (with "text"), not a CLI (with "command line"). The very point of CC is that you can replace a command line with human-readable texts.

Let's not be overly reductive, Claude Code is a TUI with a CLI for all input including slash commands.

PiKVM seems to be the large competitor here and is completely open source. If you're looking into KVM solutions, probably check it out, but JetKVM is over 50% less, which is a huge argument in favor of it.

Geekworm make cheaper KVM hardware built around the Raspberry Pi. I have a KVM-A8 which mounts in a card slot.

i mean, i did a bunch of the m3 support that m1n1 has, and i did it because it was fun. The reason you get blinking cursor and not linux is because hacking on the linux kernel is decidely less fun (I did a bunch of wifi work).
donaldihunter · 5 months ago
Oh, that's interesting. Linux kernel hacking is the area where I have the best chance of contributing something. If I can get my m3 max bootstrapped to a blinking cursor then I'd be very happy to participate in kernel work.

I don't think ZK proofs help to establish trust in a photo's authenticity at all. C2PA is a well thought out solution to this problem.

https://spec.c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/2.2/spec...

> The C2PA information comprises a series of statements that cover areas such as asset creation, edit actions, capture device details, bindings to content and many other subjects. These statements, called assertions, make up the provenance of a given asset and represent a series of trust signals that can be used by a human to improve their view of trustworthiness concerning the asset. Assertions are wrapped up with additional information into a digitally signed entity called a claim.

> as cognitive hygiene

LLMs are not cognizant. It's a terrible metaphor. It hides the source of the issue. The providers cheaped out on sourcing their data and now their LLMs are filled with false garbage and copyrighted material.

Likewise, cognitive decline isn't what's happening here since that would require cognition. At best it is a simulation of cognitive decline.

TUIs sucked and they still suck.

Programmers are trying to bring them back bc nostalgia I guess?

I floated the idea of TUIs to our data engineering team and got very negative responses. (My nostalgia for undergrad turbo pascal TUI I guess lol)

There are plenty of great TUIs out there: https://terminaltrove.com/explore/

Learning and using Emacs is possibly the activity with the highest ROI over time you can do if you work with text for a living. Maybe even if you don't.

Every time you modify it, you are improving your workflow. Those changes compound over time so that the system is always familiar, which makes interacting with text, the filesystem, network, and anything else you can manipulate with Elisp, that much easier, faster, and more comfortable. What you end up with is a system that is unique to you. A system that does what you want the way you want it, and never changes unless you want it to. In a world where software constantly changes and breaks, where new editors appear and disappear, using your own version of Emacs is incredibly comforting. There are no surprises, no rugpulls, no radical UI redesigns, no sneaky telemetry or tracking, no ads, no nagware, and so on. Anything you don't like can be removed, changed, or improved.

It's not perfect, of course. It's slow, alien in many ways, lags behind in features of modern editors, and has a brutally steep learning curve, especially if you're not familiar with Lisps. It may take you years to appreciate it, and a lifetime to understand it. But that's OK. You don't need to understand all of it. As long as you start the journey, you can learn on the way, and your experience will keep improving.

I have been using Emacs for 35 years and I am still learning along the way. It has been the one constant across Solaris, Linux, Windows and macOS for all that time.
