Nekit1234007··on H3-metal – Native MiniMax-H3 inference for Apple Silicon
I don't have hardware to runs this, so no, I didn't.

One thing that I had experience with, that led me to believe this might be true: it seems one of the earlier llama models was over-tuned to resist generating CSAM. Once I tried a somewhat sensitive prompt containing the word "girl" in it. Llama only ever generated refusals for this prompt, citing I was prompting for CSAM. GPTs and Claudes of that era had no issues with the same prompt.

One thing I read on this topic on reddit is never EVER use the word "girl" when prompting H3. So CSAM probably.

Nekit1234007··on How to Leave the House
> Get a dog

Thanks for letting me know right off the bat to not read any further :)

Nekit1234007··on DeepSeek-R1
Because there's no VRAM. The “regular” RAM on Apple Silicon devices is shared with the GPU virtually in its entirety.
Nekit1234007··on Passkey technology is elegant, but it's most definitely not usable security
One of the Passkeys/WebAuthn spec people made a huge fuss over how KeePassXC did their export function https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407
Nekit1234007··on Building Effective "Agents"
May I push back on the idea that a single word may mean (completely) different things?
Nekit1234007··on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old now
I'm pretty sure ISRG doesn't want to deal with payments any more than they do now (i.e. outside of donations and sponsorships)
Nekit1234007··on We're forking Flutter
Flutter uses canvas when targeting the web. (At least it was the last time I looked at it years ago)
Nekit1234007··on Intent to end OCSP service
Well, this ticket is still open: https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/812
Nekit1234007··on Jiff: Datetime library for Rust
I've seen it being used in ECMAScript's Temporal https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/strings.html
Nekit1234007··on The EU should be the heat-pump pioneer
That sounds like really bad insulation. Energy, in form of a hot or cold air shouldn't simply disappear from a properly insulated dwelling

Nekit1234007··on Tor’s history of D/DoS attacks and future strategies for mitigation
I donʼt have many strong points, it mostly feels nice to use, be it browsing or participating.

But to name a couple of points: itʼs index-able by search engines (compared to a certain similarly named popular “alternative”); robust topic tracking system: I know exactly where I left each topic off.

Nekit1234007··on Tor’s history of D/DoS attacks and future strategies for mitigation
I wish for the opposite.
Nekit1234007··on DwarFS: A fast high compression read-only file system
Just like creating any sort of archive. You (or a program of sorts) create the fs structure in some directory, then invoke something like `mkdwarfs -i /path/to/that/directory -o /path/to/output/file.dfs`
Nekit1234007··on Xz format considered inadequate for long-term archiving (2016)
Yes! https://manpages.debian.org/testing/squashfs-tools/unsquashf...

I believe 7z can do that as well.

Nekit1234007··on Password of three random words better than complex variation, experts say
I just put passwords in those fields if they are required.
Nekit1234007··on Taildrop was kind of easy
But you can host your own coord server, right?

Nekit1234007··on KeePass 2.35
Notable addition: introduction of “KDBX 4” file format. Bringing support for Argon2, better header and data authentication and ChaCha20. http://keepass.info/help/kb/kdbx_4.html
Nekit1234007··on Secure messaging app Telegram now offers its own anonymous blogging platform

  > Secure messaging app Telegram […]
  > Telegram, the security-focused messaging app […]
Stopped reading right there. I donʼt even know where to start dismantling this nonsense.
Nekit1234007··on Introducing Vulkan-Hpp – Open-Source Vulkan C++ API
> Vulkan is an NVIDIA gpu api

Your statement couldnʼt have been more misleading. Vulkan is a cross{vendor,platform} API, based on AMD Mantle.

Nekit1234007··on Opus Interactive Audio Codec v1.1.3 released
No need. Most codecs achieve transparency at and above 128 kbps.
Nekit1234007··on Announcing Rust 1.9
Next release will most likely be 1.10. As per semver.
Nekit1234007··on WhatsApp Just Switched on Encryption for a Billion People
You can say say the same about Telegram, can you not?
Nekit1234007··on WhatsApp Just Switched on Encryption for a Billion People
Telegram received quite a backlash from crypto community for rolling out nonsensical throw-a-bunch-of-crypto-algorithms-together homebrew protocol that was designed by Math PhD™ students and having an audacity of conducting a contest to break it.

This OTOH uses peer reviewed, strong, modern crypto that was designed by people who know how to do these things.

Nekit1234007··on WhatsApp Just Switched on Encryption for a Billion People
Basically Telegram is _nothing_ compared to this.
