Did you type a password?

If your box isn’t globally addressable (because of NAT), your box can’t be connected to. It works one way only, from the inside out - because the NAT-router keeps track of the connections your box makes to globally addressable hosts and forwards reply packages back to your box.

You could use IPv6 which because of the vast amounts of ipv6-addresses, eliminates the need for NAT. Or you could use a VPN or a tunneling service which gives you a dedicated IP. Or port forwarding from a globally addressable host. Either self hosted or as a service. Switch to an ISP which doesn’t do CGNAT.

In short: ipv6 is easiest.:)

Edit: does anybody know if a non addressable seed box gets info about interested and globally addressable peers somehow (either tracker or tracker-less) so it can initiate a TCP connection to those peers? Are there resources to read up in that topic?

We need to talk about the horizontal distance between those Ts. (not really :)

Good times.:)

Interesting. What a strange companionship. :)

Hey. I wanted to write that! ;)

What? Ah here it is:

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed today that Nvidia will contribute “GPU chiplets” that Intel can place alongside its x86 CPU cores instead of the Arc integrated graphics it develops in-house today.

They could buy AMD Radeon chiplets too, that would be something.:)

data in transit

Yes, but then it is stored unencrypted on github. Ready to be used as training data by github.com/ Microsoft or whoever. Which isn’t bad per se for i. e. public repositories. Just pointing out, that the weakest link in your chain of security measures is the… weakest link.

If you wanted to secure your code, you could store it on-site, behind a firewall, in its own network segment, with encrypted offsite backups. Elliptic curve cypto would help too in this scenario. And MFA. And access restrictions. Many possible measures.

That’s one option but the possibilities are endless.:)

And burn down. And then explode again.

The 🔑 belongs into the locked door, so I can’t leave without it. Oh the horrors of being locked out.

PS: Never leave the house without a pack of paper tissues.

That’s what LLM are made for;

Hence the Name? :)

I mean the automatic speech recognition and transcription capabilities are quite useful. But that’s about it, for me for now.

It could be interesting for frame interpolation in movies at some point maybe, I guess.

I dream of using it for the reliable classification of things. But I haven’t seen it working reliably, yet.

For the creation of abstracts and as a dialog system for information retrieval it doesn’t feel exact/correct / congruent enough to me.

Also: A working business plan to make money with actual AI services has yet to be found. Right now it is playing with a shiny new toy and the expectations and money of their investors. Right now they fail to deliver and the investors might get restless. Selling the business while it is still massively overrated, seems like the only way forward. But that’s just my opinion.

They rent you DVDs and Blu-rays via postal delivery. I think.

Do it like the mosquitoes do. 🤷‍♀️

Going to try to make lunch for the week. We’ll see how it goes.

For the entire week? Different dishes? Does it work for you?

The h4 already can be a managed switch itself (2" 2,5gbit + 4*1gbit with the nic addon.) if you want it to be one. Linux as the host OS (VLANs, bridges) - netplan works well for me. Some VMs and containers on top (lxd, incus, some use proxmox) for router/ firewall/ vpn-gateway (opnsense, ipfire,…) and other functionality which you don’t want to run on the host OS directly. The cpu is fast enough to run all your services at once. It all comes down to RAM.

IMO there is not one right way. It all depends on what you want to achieve. Also a lot depends on, whether you want results fast or if you enjoy the tinkering while learning.

:D

Pictures of cats are always appreciated. Dash does it right. :)

I always struggle with the date components sort order: month, day, year. They need to be in ascending or descending order. But that’s just me.

And then I try to stop myself from thinking too much about years, months, days and hours having inconsistent lengths - forced by celestial mechanics. And the lack of a consistent number system: Sometimes it’s decimal - because that’s the way it was done in the 1800s and 1900s. Sometimes the base-60 system is used - which is rumoured to stem from the babylonian times or before (Sexagesimal). And someone put the 2*12 for 24h clock on top of it, because… I don’t know. And after all, where does the 7 day week come from? 7?

To my surprise the 24h system is not a modern invention because of digital clocks. And in the medieval ages some people used to start their clock at sunrise not midnight. Huh. 24h clock.

Let’s not start with the the AM/PM system where they start counting with 12, 1, 2,… because that’s how a clock face is built and there is no 0.

Ah, let’s get back to cat pictures. Shall we? ;)
