drdebug··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash Is Now Our Best Hacking Model
You can run deepseek-v4.1-flash on a local server with 4xH200@141GB for around 180K EUR. It can serve more than one user so it can be a good investment for a company, especially if you need your data to stay local (although I would advise do go a step up and populate with 8xH200 to serve many more users, ~300K EUR). You can run whatever test you want and you won't be limited by a front-end that pre-filters your requests.
drdebug··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
Any one knows what happens when duck tape is being used to cover the camera?
drdebug··on 1966 Ford Mustang Converted into a Tesla with Working 'Full Self-Driving'
Nice work, but is it just me or does this take away from the car’s original spirit?
drdebug··on Reverse engineering Gemini's SynthID detection
To pass fake/modified image as genuine?
drdebug··on SynthID – A tool to watermark and identify content generated through AI
In practice, very short texts don't carry very high value so watermarking is (usually) less important. For longer text false positives are not an issue at all since you have a large amount of data to extract your signal from.
drdebug··on SynthID – A tool to watermark and identify content generated through AI
If you are interested, you can look into the work of Hany Farid on this topic as a good introduction to image forensics and related topics.
drdebug··on SynthID – A tool to watermark and identify content generated through AI
I wonder where you got that impression. Several professional watermarking systems for movie studio type content I have worked with (and on) are highly resistant to noise removal while remaining imperceptible.
drdebug··on The Best Darn Grid Shader (Yet) (2023)
You can install the "Dark Reader" plugin on Firefox, works great.
drdebug··on Is a 'slow' swimming pool impeding world records?
According to airparif.fr air quality is currently degraded in Paris, could air pollution be the culprit ?
drdebug··on Algorithmic fitting of Japanese candy
Also, a Twitter account is required.
drdebug··on Chat Control Must Be Stopped – Now
The wording in the current draft seems to indicate that it applies to "providers of hosting services and providers of publicly available interpersonal communications services". So unless this includes ISPs, I wonder if that means a decentralized P2P service is not covered.
drdebug··on A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024
Same here with 20+ years old mail service on the same domain that has never sent spam with correctly configured DNS SPF DKIM DMARC, getting gmail rejections. I noticed a significant improvement after linking the domain to my google account https://support.google.com/mail/answer/9981691
drdebug··on French court issues damages award for violation of GPL
The conclusion of the article says "[...] so far linking (even statically) is done for interoperability, does not [...]". IANAL but it could mean that linking against a GPL library for interoperability is OK in EU, but it does not mean it's true for general case of linking with GPL libraries.
drdebug··on What has changed in CPU cores in M3 chips?
I believe SSDs are soldered onto the motherboard for M1 laptops + M1 mac mini, I wonder how bad of an issue it is when considering used M1s.
drdebug··on 8GB vs. 16GB M3 Mac
"Much better screen" is also not necessarily true for everybody. For example I can't stand the glossy reflective screen, from what I saw last time I stopped in an apple store it was pretty much a mirror. I find the mate screens on thinkpads vastly superior and less difficult on my eyes, and their trackpads are fine: the magic track pad on my mac mini m1 is fine too, but I don't prefer one over the other.
drdebug··on Internet-connected cars fail privacy and security tests conducted by Mozilla
May be if you drive often near bars or places with specific orientation?
drdebug··on Rocky strikes back at Red Hat
Often things can be ported easily without much effort, but the issue lies in validation and testing, there are often corner cases that need to be identified and tested, it can cost a lot of time and effort and it's not always feasible. Redhat knows it may be cheaper to purchase RHEL subscriptions in that case.
drdebug··on Are We Sixel Yet
Displaying the result of a command as a graph (histograms, plots) can be more pleasant than a bunch of **** bars. An external graphic window works well too, but displaying in place can be convenient sometimes, no need to click or alt-tab.
drdebug··on Spinning Diagrams with CSS
FYI, contrarily to the original post, this does not work with javascript disabled.
drdebug··on If we lose the Internet Archive, we’re screwed
Internet Archive is likely the only memory of the digital world. They may or may not have made a mistake during the covid pandemic by extending their book lending program, but in the age of IA where many text and images are going to lack any source of truth, they may be one of the very few ways to document modern history.
drdebug··on Now offering 2TB SSDs for Steam Deck in the Framework Marketplace
It looks like the framework laptop keyboard is missing PgUp and PgDn keys (I use them constantly).
drdebug··on Screw motivation, what you need is discipline
If you have 0 motivation, it could mean you're just getting bored or saturated or stressed out or simply overwhelmed. In any case, do NOTHING for a day or two, don't feel guilt (that's KEY), tell yourself you're taking a break, play games, go ride your bike, walk in a forest, go to a restaurant, whatever suits you. Make yourself feel good. Take a break. Then the next day start by doing something very very simple. If you're working on a very hard problem then run a simple experiment to validate a case, corner case or not. If you feel like you don't feel like it, then just do some silly 5min task, it may be enough to get you restarted and just feel better. Feel good, enjoy life, then get back to work. Changing Job may do the trick too. Or take some vacation, the idea is to just break the cycle.
drdebug··on Apple attempting to stop investigation into its practices involving browsers
Please try to resist. I bought an external battery, it's less convenient but if that's the cost of privacy then so be it. Supporting Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird is critical, some sites are now chrome-only, this is a nightmare. The battle for a free phone is already lost it seems as banks mandate google or iphone apps for 2FA and we don't have functional linux-only phones with browsing/email/mapping/sms/calls/photos that work reliably yet. I'm truly concerned we might loose the ability to use a linux desktop too: MS-Windows was required for many things in the past, these things are now possible on Linux, I'd hate to see Chrome become the next Windows.
drdebug··on It looks like I’m moving to Mastodon
Can you recommend a good free open source android client that compares to signal or whatsapp in terms of functionality and ease of use?
drdebug··on Source Code for SunOS 4.1.3 (1992)
Is anyone aware of IRIX source code actually available somewhere?
drdebug··on An X11 apologist tries Wayland
Your colleagues don't need X forwarding, so requirements from people that are not in the vast majority don't need to be addressed, they'll just have to use RDP/VNC even if it's a step backwards for them. Fortunately X11 is open source, so life can continue for those of us who need it.
drdebug··on An X11 apologist tries Wayland
Using a wayland desktop, remote login into a Linux server, start a graphical text editor like gvim, it fails. This is a very common way to dev on Linux, I too have been doing this daily, and with ssh+X11 it works out of the box. I wonder what is the best way to do this with Wayland. Should I ask an admin to reconfigure the remote server to run a VNC or RDP server, and then use a specific tool to connect? I wonder if VNC/RDP can integrate apps as windows instead of all-in-one window.
drdebug··on HBO Max pulls nearly 200 ‘Sesame Street’ episodes
If Apple tries to get 30% of subscriptions when done through an Apple device, then I guess it makes sense to ignore Apple ?
drdebug··on “Logistics”, an 857-hour movie, tracks a pedometer from shop back to factory
You don't have kids do you? Silence is under-rated.
drdebug··on TruffleC: A C implementation on top of JVM (2014)
Is there an implementation that can be used for experimenting or verifying performance claims? I could not find anything. edit: Found a reference there in case it helps others https://www.graalvm.org/22.0/community/publications/
