Do you have proof of this? Did you have a unique email used for Lemmy world? Signed email headers please

If you like experimenting with cryptography check out circom, it's a relatively simple language to program zero knowledge cryptography. I was the head of development at a programmable cryptography research and development organization for a bit, it's fun stuff, we researched and experimented with zero knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, and some more far fetched stuff like fully homomorphic encryption and indistinguishablility obfuscation. What you are trying to do definitely can be done with zk.

Also, please never use xor again lol

Highly recommend this book "Mind Hacks" https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/mind-hacks/0596007795/

Appreciate this one, thanks for not deleting

That user posted that same comment on multiple posts as well

Came here to mention tremors. It's my favorite cheesy 90s scifi.

If you want to learn a bit about machining while also dealing with maximum dad humor: This Old Tony

Ya, this is the way. I use ... all the time

It's very useful in a lot of areas, blockchain being one, privacy being another, provable computation being a big one

Zero knowledge proofs. I've worked in the industry for a couple years now, and I've got a lot of hope it will actually help us fix the internet, stop spam bots, and allow for people to interact with better control over their data.

And cyberpunk

Ya why don't they just ask for a better plan, or say some part doesn't make sense to them. "Taking the guesswork out" to me means "I'm not convinced, go do more homework and explain this better"... Why can't people just say that.

This is normally called "institutional knowledge" which is definitely a real thing, I don't think it's a marketing or HR buzzword. Though, a lot of the time it somewhat trivial things those things do add up. Institutional knowledge around things like how to deal with a finicky piece of specialized hardware, or what are the right words to convince your bosses boss to pay for you to go to a conference are pretty helpful. If you have an older "individual contributor" in your company that has been there for a while and hasn't climbed the ladder, they might be a gold mine for that kinda info (they could also just be an ass)

In the early 2000s getting things like wifi drivers working was a pain in the ass sometimes. It was definitely more difficult

Ya I'd be fine with trump being stateless at this point

I think looking through the comments on this post about AI stuff is a pretty good representation of my experience on lemmy. Definitely some opinions, but most people are pretty reasonable 🙂

Ya exactly! Or just sanity checking if you understand how something works, I use it a lot for that, or trying to fill in knowledge gaps.

Also qwen3 is out, check that out, it might fit on a 1060.

I see a mix, don't get me wrong, Lemmy is definitely opinionated lol, but I don't think it's quite black and white.

Also, generally, I'm not going to not share my thoughts or opinions because I'm afraid of people that don't understand nuance, sometimes I don't feel like dealing with it, but I'm going to share my opinion most of the time.

OP asked what you self host that isn't media, self hosted LLMs is something I find very useful and I didn't see mentioned. Home assistant, pihole, etc, all great answers... But those were already mentioned.

I still have positive upvotes on that comment, and no one has flamed me yet, but we will see.
