jesprenj··on Email.ml – Minimalist Temporary Email
Ah, that's why I was confused: I did not understand why would a website has anything to do with files on a POSIXish machine. Thanks.
jesprenj··on Training is not the same as chatting: LLMs don’t remember everything you say
Whenever I exit from a MySQL repl, I type "exit; bye!" instead of just "exit", because MySQL is always so nice and says Bye at the end of the conversation.

But how is a website supposted to get access to user's files in his homedir?

The post is about esp32.
jesprenj··on Cloudflare took down our website

And for some reason Cloudflare's the bad guy.

jesprenj··on Reverse engineering ESP32 Wi-Fi driver: the road ahead
Does a FOSS wifi driver for esp8266 already exist or is it in the making?

What is ~/.signature?
jesprenj··on Email.ml – Minimalist Temporary Email
I recommend http://grr.la -- no login, just type in the local part of the mailbox and get access to email.

What is your business doing so that it requires you to maintain your own blocked domain list by hand?
jesprenj··on Email.ml – Minimalist Temporary Email
> I feel that that's not what email is for. Any communication method needs a return address, otherwise spam and abuse.

I don't agree. Email addresses are sometimes used for ephemeral tasks, like buying concert tickets and items in online stores. You need an email address, so they can send you the tickets or the receipt, but then you don't need this address anymore.

jesprenj··on The Space Quest II Master Disk Blunder
Thank you for the links! I kind of expected a machine with 10+ floppy slots (: I think I just wasn't really aware of the year this machine was produced.

Anyone got any links with more info about this device?

Is there something similar for KDE Plasma on Wayand?
jesprenj··on DB-19: Resurrecting an Obsolete Connector (2016)
What about the female connector? Did he also order it? Or are only male connectors needed/in shortage for some reason?

Edit: there's some discussion about female counterparts in the comment section of the website.

jesprenj··on Show HN: ffmpeg-english "capture from /dev/video0 every 1 second to jpg files"
I am almost certain one can find a seed+temperature pair that will result in such output given a non-malicious prompt.

What is the intended use case for the l= parameter? Why not sign the entire email all the time? Why would anyone want to use l=1 ?!!1
jesprenj··on Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira
I don't understand how capitalism works now. So can people just forcibly buy stocks from you for $44 now?

I think the ad is very cool and I like it.
jesprenj··on Energy-Efficient Llama 2 Inference on FPGAs via High Level Synthesis
> Although the GPU performs inference faster than the FPGA, one of the primary bottlenecks of deep learning inference is memory bandwidth and the availability of on-chip memory (Balasubramanian et al., 2021). A RTX 3090 has 24GB VRAM running at 1219 MHz with a base core clock of 1395 MHz (TechPowerUp, 2024). In comparison, a VU9P FPGA has 345.9 MB of combined on-chip BRAM and URAM, running at a much slower clock speed of around 200-300 MHz depending on the module; however, with much lower clock speeds, the FPGA is able to achieve better efficiency on power and energy consumption, as shown below.

So as far as I can understand, the biggest "bottleneck"/limiting factor with using FPGAs for LLMs is the available memory -- with current large models exceeding 40 GiB in parameter size, GPUs and TPUs with DRAM look like the only way to go forward for the months to come ... Thoughts?

Why should I do that? It only introduces a single point of failure and destroys my listeners' privacy.

and yet they haven't provided any other examples.

What's wrong with RSS?
jesprenj··on Google Search HTTP to HTTPS redirect yields 502
Visiting http://google.com yields HTTP 502 error instead of redirecting to https://www.google.com.

Apart from that, http://wap.google.com lightweight search results page is also broken and yields 502.

jesprenj··on The man who killed Google Search?
I usually add before:2019 to google search queries to remove a lot of LLM generated articles.
jesprenj··on Client libraries are better when they have no API?
Ah, now I understand the motive! I wasn't thinking about writing back to csvbase at all.
jesprenj··on Client libraries are better when they have no API?
Wouldn't it be better to just register http as a protocol with fsspec and use

    http://csvbase.example/username/dataset/table
instead of creating a whole protocol handler just for an online service?
jesprenj··on How much faster are the Gnome 46 terminals?
VSCode/vscodium's IDE terminal does this.
