WASM 2.0 1 year ago

The Wasm Constant Time proposal was just moved to inactive 4 days ago[0].

From what I can tell the bulk of the work for it was done in 2018[1], but it needs updating to consider SIMD, and for legwork to be done on moving it along as a proper spec extension.

Until someone picks up this valuable work and lands this much-needed feature in Wasm, we're extremely vulnerable to timing attacks in all Wasm crypto.

An LLM would have to be two-faced in a sense to surreptitiously mess with code alone and be normal otherwise.

It's interesting and a headline worthy result, but I think the research they were doing where they accidentally found that line of questioning is slightly more interesting: does an LLM trained on a behavior have self-awareness of that behavior. https://x.com/betleyjan/status/1894481241136607412

These are a bit mythical, finding one for sale is no small feat.

I guess adding memory to some cards is a matter of completely reworking the PCB, not just swapping DRAM chips. From what I can find it has been done, both chip swaps and PCB reworks, it's just not easy to buy.

Software support is of course another consideration.

A clamshell 5090 with 2GB modules has a max limit of 64GB

How does "clamshelling" get around the 32-bits per module requirement? Do the two 2GB modules act as one 4GB module when clamshelled?

It's whitelisted based on the embedding domain.

Ads appear on brand safe sites: YouTube works diligently so that our advertisers' brands appear on sites that reflect our respective core values. Our systems closely evaluate websites and their content against various factors when finding out whether to turn on In-stream ads on YouTube embeds. These factors include a strict set of guidelines on content like adult imagery, violence, inappropriate and hateful language, and sites that promote infringement.

Numbers has some good incremental improvements. It does have first-class support for headers, and even uses them for references which makes things absurdly clear in comparison to the plain A1 format. Multiple tables per sheet is also particularly great IMO.

The web version was mostly replete last I used it half a decade ago, including realtime collaboration with mac and iOS.

They repeatedly name a parameter "callable", but call the function themselves inside string interpolation. This only works out how they need when it's the last parameter.
