Encryption at rest just means the data itself is encrypted when stored on disk and the key is somewhere. It doesn't dictate that the key is not visible to the server.

Encryption in transit refers to an encrypted channel from client to server.

E2E encryption usually refers to encryption from one entity to another where any intermediary servers do not have the ability to decrypt

Autonomous vehicles often have network connectivity to allow the owner to track, monitor, and send commands.

Nice. One thing I loved about my recent visit to Europe is just how lively the streets feel with people meandering around them. Anything to help make the city more welcoming to people.

After I read this, I thought it would be really cool to try to make this myself. But then I realized I'm barely able to get a simple circuit working much less one that involves complex RF signalling.

Yeah this isn't even human readable even when it's in YAML. What am I going to do? Read the floats and understand that the person looked left?

The point seems to be able to handle a UPS failure

WiFi is on all three bands. It's not so much what's newer vs older. Newer devices tend to support 2.4, 5, and 6 and switch between them based on quality of signal and support by the WiFi network. Higher frequencies like 5 and 6GHz are generally better because there's less interference.

Cheaper devices tend to only support 2.4GHz

Yes, but from a societal perspective, theres value in making cuts in a lot of different places.

Maybe you can do a meatless Monday, and somebody else will go vegan. Tell the people in private jets to stop flying private, but the family that's going to another culture and learning and maybe becoming better has benefits.

Fascinating. Just based on your comment and nothing else, sounds like it could be something like a CPU Enclave like Intel SGX. Basically a remote client can validate that an application runs in a secure part of a remote cloud computer. The stated goal of SGX is that you only have to trust Intel and if you trust Intel and say run program X in the enclave, then only that part of the CPU can access the data, not the applications running in the non-secure enclave.

Now that brushes over some things like you still need to trust the client and IIRC in a WhatsApp situation, you don't really know what enclave does, but the communications between the enclave and the host OS are heavily restricted. LLMs also require lots of CPU and are usually run on GPUs, so not sure how that works yet.

I've been experimenting with it for different use cases:

• Standard chat style interface with open-webui. I use it to ask things that people would normally ask ChatGPT. Researching things, vacation plans, etc. I take it all with a grain of salt and also still use search engines
• Parts of different software projects I have using ollama-python. For example, I tried using it to auto summarize transaction data
• Home Assistant voice assistants for my own voice activated smart home
• Trying out code completion using TabbyML

I only have a GeForce 1080 Ti in it, so some projects are a bit slow and I don't have the biggest models, but what really matters is the self-satisfaction I get by not using somebody else's model, or that's what I try to tell myself while I'm waiting for responses.

It wasn't as crazy as the SLU one, but it always had a bunch of people in it which is what surprised me about this news.
