    Hi, security professional here! A lot of the time, we don't need it.

    The central point of this app is to determine proximity of two devices. That's not possible today in a cross-platform way using web apps.

    The Quick 861DW has been a hobbyist favorite for a long time, and comes in at ~$300 (USD)

    For modern systems, stack buffer overflow bugs haven't been great to exploit for a while. You need at least a stack cookie leak and on Apple Silicon the return addresses are MACed …

    Yep! 60t/s on the 8 bit MLX on an M4 Pro with 64GB of RAM.

    There's MLX versions of the model, so yes. LM Studio hasn't updated their mlx-lm runtime yet though, you'll get an exception. But if you're OK running it without a UI wrapper, mlx_…

    It means more surface (both from extensions themselves and the loader code), relaxation of things like KTRR/CTRR (you now need to add executable EL1 pages at runtime), plus the pot…

    I do vulnerability research. Those things would do the exact opposite of what you're aiming for. They'd be received with glee by mercenary spyware companies, _especially_ being abl…

    You're confusing your opinion of the company with the perception by the general public. Apple's definitely not perceived as 'an office appliance company' by your average person. It…

    It'd run on a 5090 with 32GB of VRAM at fp8 quantization which is generally a very acceptable size/quality trade-off. (I run GLM-4.5-Air at 3b quantization!) The transformer archit…

    From what I've been reading the inference workload tends to ebb and flow throughout the day with much lower loads overnight than at for example 10AM PT/1PM ET. I understand compani…

    I believe they mean the source region's tag, rather than the destination.

    I have some inside knowledge here. KPP was released around the time KTRR on A11 was implemented to have some small amount of parity on <A11 SoCs. I vaguely remember the edict came …

    So are caffeine and nicotine, I'm not sure what your point is.

    Concerta is extended release methylphenidate. It is not an amphetamine.

    This isn't a transformer, it's a diffusion model. You can't split diffusion models across compute nodes.

    Just from my limited experience: Barton Springs in Austin is always brimming with people and Shiner Bock makes a frequent appearance. Dolores Park in SF never has a dull moment and…

    Something is lost as well if you do 'research' by just asking an LLM. On the path to finding your answer in the encyclopedia or academic papers, etc. you discover so many things yo…

    Yep. Though if you don't place any of them - depending on how technical you want to get - that's a DE0.

    It'd be the final piece of Apple's vertical integration puzzle.

    I can't comment on MCP use specifically but I can comment on using an LLM while reversing. I use a local instance of whatever ends up being SOTA for local reasoning LLMs at 30B-70B…

    I'm actually very surprised this happened. I've dis- and reassembled dozens of iPhones (from the iPhone 4 all the way up to the iPhone 16) and I've never torn a single flex cable. …

    Are you saying Nvidia could spin up their own chip fabs in short order?
