I run a business that makes 3d printed braille molds that are used to repeatably emboss paper. I haven't considered the molds being offline storage, but I suppose they are. I mostl…

Let me first start off by saying I and many others have stepped in this pitfall. This is not an attack, but a good faith attempt to share painfully acquired knowledge. I'm actively…

I see I was mistaken, but I'm tempted to continue poking holes. Trying a different angle, though it may be a stretch, but could a caching layer within the VPN provider cause these …

Thanks for your informative reply. I see now I was approaching this incorrectly. I was considering drawing conclusions from a high RTT rather than a RTT so small it would be imposs…

Contrasting take: RTT and a service providing black box knowledge is not equivalent to knowledge of the backbone. To assume traffic is always efficiently routed seems dubious when …

35m ago edit: Apple uses many predictive systems for typing. My sentiment in pointing out just slide to type might be misguided as it does not exist in a vacuum. I'd love to see th…

I didn't see any reference to a sender or actively blasting RF from the same access point. I think the approach relies on other signal sources creating reflections to a passively m…

5GHz WiFi has a wavelength of ~6cm and 2.4GHz ~12.5cm. Anything achieving smaller is a result of interferometry or a non WiFi signal. Mentioning this might not add much substance t…

I'm interested but am also incredibly dubious. Not because it seems impossible but the opposite. On one hand, an open source repo like this making an approach for hackable extensio…

I really want to love rust, and I understand the niches it fills. My temporary allegiance with it comes down to performance, but I'm drawn by the crate ecosystem and support provid…

I'll provide a contrasting, pessimistic take. > How do you write programs when a bug can kill their user? You accept that you will have a hand in killing users, and you fight like …

elzbardico is pointing out how the author is having the confidence value generated in the output of the response rather than it being the confidence of the output.

I too once fell into the trap of having an LLM generate a confidence value in a response. This is a very genuine concern to raise.

Argument: - GPUs use parallelism - Floating point math is not associative - Rounding error accumulates differently - GPUs generate noisy computations - Known noise vs accuracy trad…

I think it's fair to say AI generated code isn't visibly making a meaningful impact in open source. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but that shouldn't be interprete…

I've been off socials and on forums for 8+ years now for the same reason. I share similar sentiment as Bizzy's sibling reply. I say these things because lately I've been thinking a…

Thanks for your reply. The target market is anyone who has interest, as I've open sourced the tooling I used for translating text to braille and generating the geometry of the mold…

You absolutely can. Deterministic inference is achievable, but it isn't as performant. The reason why sadly boils down to floating point math.

I could have worded my reply better, but the simplified explanation stands :b
