lfmunoz4··on uBlock Origin is no longer available on Chrome web store
not sure how ublock origin works but would it be possible to take the block list from ublock origin and block at router level?
lfmunoz4··on K1 Buys MariaDB

lfmunoz4··on Knockknock: Simple, secure, and stealthy port knocking implementation (2012)
Been wanting to use wireguard but seems like a lot of effort of managing keys and ip addrseses and routing rules etc. Do you have resources that might help me understanding the best setup?
lfmunoz4··on ChartDB – Free and open source, database design editor
hand creating these seems like a mistake, i.e, like you said hard to maintain. In my opinion every database should generate (or have a tool) to generate diagrams automatically.
lfmunoz4··on ChartDB – Free and open source, database design editor
data types seem wrong, ie. sqlite doesn't have smallint right?
lfmunoz4··on Arrest of Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, charges of terrorism, fraud, child porn
I don't understand why anyone uses Telegram if it there is no proof that it is secure. Their code isn't open source?
lfmunoz4··on We survived 10k requests/second: Switching to signed asset URLs in an emergency
Don't understand why hosting providers charge for egress. Why isn't it free? Doesn't that mean that we don't have an open internet, isn't that against net neutrality?
lfmunoz4··on Nomad, communicate off-grid mesh, forward secrecy and extreme privacy
You click the huge button that says express filing and simply put name address and type your comment that is it. I just filed a comment.
lfmunoz4··on FCC seek comments on NextNav petition for rulemaking on lower 900MHz ISM band
highly recommend people read Master Switch by tim wu. In part talks about how the FCC in the past has destroyed competition and progress.

sounds like something a bot would say
lfmunoz4··on AI paid for by Ads – the GPT-4o mini inflection point
Eventually the only purpose of AI as is the only purpose of computers is to enhance human creativity and productivity.

Isn't an LLM just a form of compressing and retrieving vast amounts of information? Is there anything more to it than that?

Don't think LLM itself will ever be able to out compete competent human + LLM. What you will see is that most humans are bad at writing books so they will use LLM and you will get mediocre books. Then there will expert humans that use LLM and are experts to create really good books. Pretty much what we see now. Difference is future you will a lot more mediocre everything. Even worse than it is now. I.e, if you look at Netflix there movies all mediocre. Good movies are the 1% that get released. With AI we'll just have 10 Netflix.

lfmunoz4··on AT&T says criminals stole phone records of 'nearly all' customers in data breach
what app or website do you use? Seems like you have to sign up for all three websites? Equifax Experian TransUnion?
lfmunoz4··on Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Which is the goto leaderboard for determining which AI model is best for for answering devops / computer science questions / generating code? Wondering where Claude falls on this.

Recently canceled openai subscription because too much lag and crashes. Switched to Gemini because their webinterface is faster and rock solid. Makes me think the openai backend and frontend engineers don't know what they are doing compared to the google engineers.

lfmunoz4··on EasyOS: An experimental Linux distribution
Running at root in my opinion has an increasing number of use cases. I.e, it is the new type of isolation. In the past we would create users and have apps running as that user for security. Now I spin up a digital ocean node for that application and that is isolated meaning if anything goes wrong I am destroying that node and recreating it and app is the entire node.
lfmunoz4··on EasyOS: An experimental Linux distribution
Needs a video demo, showing how to run it and the main features.
lfmunoz4··on Nvidia is most valuable company
why has no one created an asic for matrix multiplication that is cheaper and can easily outperform a gpu that is general purpose. gpu demand shouldn't be as big as it is.
lfmunoz4··on 'Dumb Money' Loses $13.1B in Latest GameStop Stock Mania
held by registered holders with our transfer agent

what does this mean? what is the significance?

lfmunoz4··on Migrating Uber's ledger data from DynamoDB to LedgerStore
Off the self software doesn't make sense for a company that is planning on lasting a long time. These solutions are all designed for multiple use cases. That means that there is complexity and inefficiencies that are not required for your particular problem. If you were to just focus on your problem wouldn't you just end up at an ASIC as the most optimal solution? Reason most software doesn't is 1) people like to re-invent the wheel 2) As you go start going lower level the less qualified people you can find.
lfmunoz4··on NixOS Foundation board: Giving power to the community
As an engineer don't get any of this drama. Can someone summarize what this is all about? From what I had the patience to read people are getting censored on the Nix chat? How does this effect Nix on a technical level? Was the censoring related specially to technical debates?
lfmunoz4··on How I stopped worrying and loved Makefiles
Also there are plugins for all editors to allow clicking on a target and it runs code. This would be significantly harder with bash.
lfmunoz4··on How I stopped worrying and loved Makefiles
For people using make and vscode my plugin is a must have:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lfm.vsco...

It allows you to click above target to run target.

lfmunoz4··on Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments
wondering the same thing and is why I use Nix right now. I.e, works in prod / dev
lfmunoz4··on Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments
what are the benefits of this verses using Nix?
lfmunoz4··on Dozens of deaths reveal risks of injecting sedatives into police detainees
I don't get it why must be he sedated? Shouldn't he have the right to refuse service?
lfmunoz4··on Hackers had access to Volkswagen IT systems for years
would like to interview volkswagen IT department to learn what not to do
lfmunoz4··on Reading more Ursula Le Guin (2019)
You can't prove it either way, people are complex and who is to say what sort of associations people have or used to have inside their head. The simple fact is that when Freud was coming out with his ideas they were new they were original. Most of anything we read is recycled. Having a single original idea is incredible and he had many that maybe wrong but eventually did lead to some right ideas.
lfmunoz4··on A rudimentary simulation of the three-body problem
"not honest" might not be the right phrasing. What I was trying to say is that when learning this stuff I felt like they hid a lot of information from me which later surprised me. But they hid it because they have no answers for it.

One simple example is what happens when you don't consider these as points but instead spheres. Also what happens when the spheres come close? The math starts breaking down, you start seeing infinities. I.e, in reality spheres come close and gravity doesn't go infinity.

lfmunoz4··on MTA board votes to approve new $15 toll to drive into Manhattan
wonder what probability of getting mugged or having to confront a crackhead is if taking public transportation.
lfmunoz4··on DBRX: A new open LLM
I see these types of jokes everywhere. I cannot understand that hints of corruption are so blatant (i.e. a politician consistently beating the market) yet people keep voting for the same politician. Don't see how that is possible, must be these joke are only on internet and mainstream media never mentions this.
