zorgmonkey··on What the heck is AEAD again?
it is worth pointing out that tink has binding for a bunch languages (C++, objective-c, rust, python, go and java) and has support for a bunch key management systems (GCP, AWS and Hashicorp)
zorgmonkey··on Show HN: A pure WebGL image editor with filters, crop and perspective correction
The biggest difference for you is probably that WebGPU has compute shaders and WebGL does not, they are pretty nice if you want to implement more complex algorithms.
zorgmonkey··on Lossless LLM compression for efficient GPU inference via dynamic-length float
I don't know of any great write-ups unfortunately, but the rANS you're looking for is range asymmetric numeral systems.
zorgmonkey··on Gemma 3 QAT Models: Bringing AI to Consumer GPUs
Both versions are quantized and should use the same amount of RAM, the difference with QAT is the quantization happens during training time and it should result in slightly better (closer to the bf16 weights) output
zorgmonkey··on MIT 6.5950 Secure Hardware Design – An open-source course on hardware attacks
It looks like they mean that the curriculum is open source. Hopefully we'll eventually get lecture videos on MIT OCW.
zorgmonkey··on Cross-Platform P2P Wi-Fi: How the EU Killed AWDL
The WiFi Alliance has a habit of always have a marketing name and a different name in the spec, you'll a lot more references to it in places like WPA supplicant if you search for Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN). Also here is the link to the spec https://www.wi-fi.org/system/files/Wi-Fi%20Aware%20Specifica...
zorgmonkey··on TL;DW: Too Long; Didn't Watch Distill YouTube Videos to the Relevant Information
I tried a couple videos in both this site and Kagi's summarizer, both were decent but each time Kagi did better.
zorgmonkey··on OpenWISP: Multi-device fleet management for OpenWrt routers
The docs seem to suggest that docker is fully supported. I wonder if that note on the github repo about prod use of the docker image is out of date.

zorgmonkey··on Okta Bcrypt incident lessons for designing better APIs
It is almost never I good idea to assert in a library, unless the error is truly unrecoverable. I think returning an error code\throwing an exception would be very reasonable and a much better API than failing silently though.
zorgmonkey··on Google open-sources the Pebble OS
I see a bunch of demo\test apps here https://github.com/google/pebble/tree/main/src/apps
zorgmonkey··on My 3D SWE Portfolio - Built with React Three Fiber.
This website was able to optimize your 24MB glb file to 2.4MB and the quality looks the same to me https://glb.babylonpress.org/
zorgmonkey··on Cracking a 512-bit DKIM key for less than $8 in the cloud
If you're going to do this you should also check for k=rsa since other key types will be different lengths. But I'd really recommend something like in the other comment where you base64 decode and parse it with something like openssl.
zorgmonkey··on Debugging memory corruption: who the hell writes "2" into my stack? (2016)
rr is only works on Linux and the release of Windows TTD was after this blog post was published. Also the huge slowdown from time travel debuggers can sometimes make tricky bugs like this much harder to reproduce.
zorgmonkey··on pg_flo – Stream, transform, and re-route PostgreSQL data in real-time
It looks with what is currently implemented you'd have to drop the tables from the destination if you want repeated copies, probably not quite what you want. Close enough to your use case that it still might be worth testing it out though.
zorgmonkey··on Matrix 2.0 Is Here
Standardized terminology is an awesome step. I'd love to see some of standardized file format for setting up the right keys on different devices. In the past I'd had annoying issues getting all the messages to decrypt on multiple devices, especially if I wasn't using the same client every device. Honestly though I suspect I was doing something wrong.
zorgmonkey··on JetBrains Rider is now free for non-commercial use
My understanding is they relocated the developers who were in Russia
zorgmonkey··on WebGPU-Based WiFi Simulator
Annoyingly WebGL2 doesn't have compute shaders even though GLES3.x that it is based on does.
zorgmonkey··on Triton Fork for Windows Support
It is mentioned at the top of the readme, but the actual code changes appear to be on the branch v3.1.x-windows (also a few other branches with -windows in the name). Also the triton seem willing to collaborate as long as the patches sent are reasonably minimal and high quality https://github.com/triton-lang/triton/pull/4045#issuecomment...
zorgmonkey··on Google must open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge
They have apk's in the github release's tab, I assume you can just install those instead https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/releases
zorgmonkey··on HPy – A better C API for Python
Oh yeah that can cause lots of weird problems. I've run into that sort of issue a lot when cross-compiling, cause often then you might have a system copy of a library and a different version for the target, that can be a real pain.
zorgmonkey··on HPy – A better C API for Python
In C++ the __has_include preprocessor expression has been standardized since C++17, I'm not certain if C has standardized it yet though.
zorgmonkey··on Wasm2Mpy: Compiling WASM to MicroPython so it can run on Raspberrys
Thanks for the explanation this project makes so much more sense now. If people want a little more detail, they have a brief how it works section in readme https://github.com/vshymanskyy/wasm2mpy?tab=readme-ov-file#h...
zorgmonkey··on Winamp Legacy player source code
You can, but only private forks of a private repo are allowed. Private forks of public repos are not allowed by design (modulo some weird bugs that were discussed on a past post).
zorgmonkey··on QtCS2024: Compile once, Run everywhere
The codereview of the WIP patches are a nice read. They do a good job of showing how quirky Cosmopolitan Libc is. To be clear I think it is awesome, just don't expect porting to it to be pain-free.

zorgmonkey··on Google Play will no longer pay to discover vulnerabilities in Android apps
They still have the bug bounty for the Pixel devices. I don't know they ever had one for the open source Android OS (AOSP), but a bug in AOSP would be likely to effect a Pixel device. The bug bounty that is getting removed is one that google offered for certain very popular apps in the play store. I also see that have bug bounty's for some of the main Google android apps.

zorgmonkey··on Show HN: FP32 matmul of large matrices up to 24% faster than cuBLAS on a 4090
The github repo doesn't seem to be accessible anymore, it is giving a 404 error.
zorgmonkey··on Intel confirms oxidation and excessive voltage in 13th and 14th Gen CPUs [video]
People have tested the 96GB DRR5 SODIMM kit and reported it to work with framework AMD laptop (framework lets you pick none for RAM, so you won't be paying RAM you won't use). Also as far as I know no one makes DDR5 SODIMM's with >48GB per stick.
zorgmonkey··on What's the point of std:monostate? You can't do anything with it
Pretty sure the namespace thing was in C++17
zorgmonkey··on Universal Code Execution by Chaining Messages in Browser Extensions
I don't it is true that Windows tries to prevent\warn about the loading of a downloaded dll file and even if it did that wouldn't be a security boundary which is really what want to be relying on. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/windows-security-servic...
zorgmonkey··on Arm64EC – Build and port apps for native performance on Arm
I'm pretty sure the API you'll want to detect that is IsWow64Process2.
