lights0123··on GitLab discovers widespread NPM supply chain attack
Python absolutely can run scripts in installation. Before pyproject.toml, arbitrary scripts were the only way to install a package. It's the reason PyPi.org doesn't show a dependency graph, as dependencies are declared in the Turing-complete setup.py.
lights0123··on Steam Machine
Both consoles allow more than 8GB to be used for the integrated GPU.
lights0123··on Installing and using HP-UX 9
My university still does! Though they're replacing it next year.
lights0123··on Power over Ethernet (PoE) basics and beyond
Any of those that mention ONVIF or RTSP will do if you put them on a LAN without internet access
lights0123··on Ongiong Nationwide Verizon Cellular Outage
Can confirm: 1:28 AM Eastern in Ann Arbor, Michigan, my iPhone shows zero bars even after reboots.
lights0123··on OpenGL: Mesh shaders in the current year
It's not for ES, but the same group is responsible for changes to both.
lights0123··on WebGPU and the Price of Compiling WGSL
You could always translate to DXIL directly, though the Chromium team has brought up drivers are used to DXC's output
lights0123··on SonyShell – An effort to “SSH into my Sony DSLR”
reMarkable tablets end up exposing a USB ethernet device with a /23 private subnet and listing an IP address to visit in a browser. It works much more reliably than it should.

A device with a camera can: https://hackaday.com/2012/01/15/turn-your-camera-phone-into-...
lights0123··on Wanted to spy on my dog, ended up spying on TP-Link
they leave that up to your organization: https://slack.com/help/articles/360042097113-Block-jailbroke...
lights0123··on Show HN: Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal
I tend to use https://github.com/coder/code-server#code-server for my remote development needs.
lights0123··on I ditched Docker for Podman
ignore_chown_errors will allow mapping root to your user ID without any other mappings required.
lights0123··on Some users have noticed settings that let Meta analyze and retain phone photos
It does, and location and captions are stripped by default using the system picker. It's the switches icon in the bottom left.
lights0123··on Unexpected productivity boost of Rust
exit(), execve(), and friends do immediately stop execution—I could understand why you'd think a redirect would as well.
lights0123··on Ask HN: Why hasn't x86 caught up with Apple M series?
You specifically don't want to use the bundled codecs since those would be CPU decode only.
lights0123··on Nvidia Tilus: A Tile-Level GPU Kernel Programming Language
There are a lot of hardware features inaccessible from webgpu because its devs still have a lot of work to do for the current implementations—no browser is even shipping it on Linux by default.

Vulkan is closer, but CUDA still exposes more features.

lights0123··on I made a real-time C/C++/Rust build visualizer
My tips for speeding up builds (from making this same project but with ebpf):

- switch to ninja to avoid that exact issue since CMake + Make spawns a subprocess for every directory (use the binary from PyPi for jobserver integration)

- catkin as in ROS? rm /opt/ros/noetic/etc/catkin/profile.d/99.roslisp.sh to remove 2 python spawns per package

lights0123··on KosmicKrisp a Vulkan on Metal Mesa 3D Graphics Driver
Mesa can be used on other operating systems. See https://www.phoronix.com/news/Zink-Windows-Kopper-Progress for an example of using its OpenGL-to-Vulkan translator on Windows.
lights0123··on Linux 6.16: faster file systems, improved confidential memory, more Rust support

lights0123··on Linux 6.16: faster file systems, improved confidential memory, more Rust support
It surprised me that Linux 6.12's QR code generator is written in Rust and enabled in at least Arch and Fedora.
lights0123··on LumoSQL
I would consider the entirety of one of those Electron apps to be a client since their main purpose is to interface with an external server—even if a small part of them internally is itself a server.
lights0123··on New high-quality hash measures 71GB/s on M4
They're extremely common in hashtables. You follow standard open addressing or separate chaining procedures: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_collision
lights0123··on Show HN: Using eBPF to see through encryption without a proxy
Most programs do encryption without syscalls! eBPF can intercept userspace execution, which they do as mentioned in the post:

> The key idea is to hook into common TLS libraries (like OpenSSL) before encryption and after decryption

lights0123··on HDR‑Infused Emoji
Safari only shows HDR in videos, not photos. It's possible to just show a single-frame video though.
lights0123··on Microsoft deletes official Windows 11 CPU/TPM bypass for unsupported PCs
It's more likely you have TPM disabled—there's no webcam requirement, and Zen+ is supported.
lights0123··on Httptap: View HTTP/HTTPS requests made by any Linux program
It certainly doesn't provide automated, process-scoped HTTPS interception.
lights0123··on Show HN: Trolling SMS spammers with Ollama
In the US, the first text could be considered a contract and the second a signature. There's no need for contracts to be on paper or signatures to resemble your name.
lights0123··on Show HN: HipScript – Run CUDA in the browser with WebAssembly and WebGPU
I believe I just fixed this—JavaScriptCore doesn't have support for a recently-introduced function.
lights0123··on Show HN: HipScript – Run CUDA in the Browser with WebAssembly and WebGPU
I don't currently expose the option to run the compiler if a GPU isn't detected, but on systems that do, it exposes a download option that lets you download the SPIR-V kernel to run with Vulkan.
lights0123··on Show HN: HipScript – Run CUDA in the browser with WebAssembly and WebGPU
web-llm provides optimized kernels for neural network operations, and a convenient API for it. This project provides a place to experiment with CUDA, for any purpose—not necessarily for anything related to machine learning.
