kytazo··on Graphene OS: a security-enhanced Android build
Impressive! Glad to be able to use Revolut again. Wondering, is this a change or their end or some workaround implemented by Graphene?
kytazo··on Web fingerprinting is worse than I thought (2023)
My impression would be the opposite. IPv6s get constantly rotated by most ISPs.

MACs are always randomized, even when connecting to the same network. At least as far as modern devices go.

Am I wrong?

kytazo··on Cops say criminals use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS – I say that's freedom
Graphene builds are verifiable, go build them yourself if you feel like.

Public code is definitely safer than binary blobs.

Yes they forgot that while trying to make a statement or something
kytazo··on Nix – Death by a Thousand Cuts
Just happened to notice how the author contradicts himself by stating "I love to distro hop" but later in the article "I don't just like to distro hop".

A good article nonetheless.

kytazo··on I spent a year building an Android course for the elderly
Hey, I've been wanting to do something similar for some time now for my domestic audience.

Putting it all together is quite an effort, are you satisfied on the returns considering the time/effort you've put into it?

kytazo··on macOS Sequoia is available today
Arm based laptops weren't really a thing when apple launched apple sillicon back in the m1 days.

I suppose this isn't the case anymore

Constant SAI aren't really helping either, on the contrary...
kytazo··on How I search in 2024

kytazo··on Better adb shell
I ended up just resorting in bash with an exec bash inside my mkshrc iirc.

I switched to nushell a couple of months back and I haven't got the opportunity to rock it on android, really curious how it does.

It is supposed to support android as well if I'm not mistaken.

kytazo··on Mixtral 8x7B: A sparse Mixture of Experts language model
This is wrong in many ways. First off you don't necessarily need a high-end consumer GPU, look at llama.cpp.

Or even better look at something like phi-2. It's likely to go even lower. I'm sure there are people here who can detail more specifics.

Its 1/24 and we're already there more or less.

kytazo··on Nushell 0.86
I picked it up right around when this got posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37576303

More or less a month ago. As of speaking, I'm almost entirely familiar with the standard API, comfortable with the language enough to implement a wrapper around openai with built-in tooling and have a configuration which closely resembles my previous zsh interactive setup.

All and all, after a month of usage, I have no regrets apart from reasonable ones like investing time into what could be categorized as personal delight but the power that lies beneath your fingertips grows exponentially with all of this functionality available out of the box.

Its been a pleasure so far and witnessing its incredible pace makes it even more exciting with pleasant surprises from features introduces waiting in every second corner

kytazo··on Hamas Got Around Israel's Surveillance Prowess by Going Dark
Yes, similar to how they caught them by surprise in the first place. Not buying most of it.
kytazo··on Google quietly raised ad prices to boost search revenue
This is a dead horse but they keep still beating it
kytazo··on Fine-tune your own Llama 2 to replace GPT-3.5/4
If we assume this is true: https://iv.nboeck.de/watch?v=K5iDUZPx60E&t=2989

Then there isn't anything in particular which makes their model(s) stand out. On the contrary, they seem rather inefficient, which is probably reflected on the inference cost this gargantuan conglomerate takes to run.

kytazo··on Cophone – Mobile work phones running in the cloud
You might want to reach for some application which serves some unique functionality without having to leave your keyboard and grabbing your phone.

Probably there are also people who'd like to get rid of their smartphone entirely so this pose as a solution to the ever growing dependency on such devices, be it exclusive bank or other apps, some forms of verification and others.

Admittedly I didn't look into it much but I assume we're talking about physical devices, which likely holds true by the cost of the subscription as well as the considerable challenge of misrepresenting a virtual device for a real one, in which case the service looses any actual appeal.

kytazo··on Scaling Transformers to 1B Tokens
Is assuming the sequence length is directly correlated to the context window a meaningful thought?

Does this imply similar increases in context in practice?
