- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 3 days ago:
Love this
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 6 days ago:
Oof this is too accurate
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 1 week ago:
I’ve never done dev for apple stuff, but I think it’s probably just not that friendly with more open/cross platform frameworks
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 1 week ago:
Ya I don’t think it’s supported on the apple tv app. Damn.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 1 week ago:
Damn ok that sucks it doesn’t seem available on the client for apple tv.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 1 week ago:
Maybe, i haven’t seen it yet though
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 1 week ago:
The only feature I want that jellyfin doesn’t have (or I haven’t found it) is shuffle. Throwing on how it’s made or mythbusters on shuffle is great background stuff.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 2 weeks ago:
Ya probably not. I guess we may see

Ya, I don’t think Vance would accomplish much, he definitely doesn’t have the same charisma or followers.
True, things would definitely get interesting if the US wasn’t the top power. You don’t think China and Russia would team up? Or you think thats only because “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”?

Trump could have a heart attack tomorrow
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 2 weeks ago:
They are browser based, their whole UI and much of the in car backend is a JavaScript.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Ya… I think that’s a really good point, a scary one
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
I think the reason more people haven’t started to openly organize is mostly concerns about self preservation. This govt obviously doesn’t care about civil liberties and are openly calling anyone not with them “the enemy”. It becomes much harder to publicly and civily organize if there is a substantial chance you’ll be branded a terrorist organization. That’s obviously just my take from my perspective.
- Comment on When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely, this is great. Knowledgeable people being reasonable.
- Comment on Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices. 4 weeks ago:
Where in the article did it say that? Did you read the article?
- Comment on What host names do you use? 4 weeks ago:
All my personal devices are named “AHE”+n. So the abbreviation for “at heart engineer”+ a letter signifying the device. So my phone is “AHEM”, my laptop is “AHEL”, my desktop is “aheo” (O for office), my server is “ahes”.

We need to turn this into a cancellation party
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 4 weeks ago:
I cancelled mine recently and will actively try to avoid using it. They also need competition.

I’ve had a Subaru CVT for 10+ years with over 200k miles no issues
- Comment on Eggs sure have gotten cheap! Oh they haven't?...well I'm sure Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can 5 weeks ago:
I just googled “bird flu transfer to humans”
- Comment on Eggs sure have gotten cheap! Oh they haven't?...well I'm sure Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can 5 weeks ago:
I’m seeing a lot of “could” and “might” and hearsay, but ya, unless it goes from human to human I am not that concerned… Just because there are so many other things more pressing to be concerned about, not that it’s something that should be ignored or anything.
- Comment on Eggs sure have gotten cheap! Oh they haven't?...well I'm sure Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can 5 weeks ago:
The risk is higher yes, the way you stated that made it seem like there was something beginning to spread or that was very imminent… Like if the most recent bird flu had jumped to humans. That’s why I was asking. Definitely agree there is more risk, but I wasn’t sure if there was something going on we weren’t aware of.

I think they were referring to the new pandemic part.

- Comment on Doom NPCs with Zero-Knowledge Proofs 1 month ago:
Integrity of the model, inputs, and outputs, but with the potential to hide either the inputs or the model and maintain verifiability.
- Comment on Doom NPCs with Zero-Knowledge Proofs 1 month ago:
Zk in this context allows someone to be able to thoroughly test a model and publish the results with proof that the same model was used.
Blockchain for zk-ml is actually a great use case for 2 reasons:
- it’s a public immutable database where people can commit to the hash of some model they want to hide.
- It allows someone with a “model” (that doesn’t have to be a neural net, it could be some statistical computation) and verifier to do work for others for a fee. Let’s say I have a huge data set of property values/data for some given area, and I’m a real estate agent, and I want to have other people run some crazy computation on it to predict which houses will likely sell first in the next 30 days. I could post this challenge online with the data, other people could run models against that data and post their results (but not how they got them) on chain. In 30 days the real estate agent could publish the updated data and reward the best performer, and potentially “buy” their model. You could do this with a centralized service, but they would likely take a fee, keep things proprietary, and likely try to make some shady back room deals. This removes the middleman.
- Comment on Doom NPCs with Zero-Knowledge Proofs 1 month ago:
Ahh, ya, so this is a deep rabbit hole but I will try to explain best I can.
Zero knowledge is a cryptographic way of proving that some computation was done correctly. This allows you to “hide” some inputs if you want.
In the context of the “ezkl” library, this allows someone to train a model and publicly commit to it by posting a hash of the model somewhere, and someone else can run inference on that model, and what comes out is the hash of the model and the output of the inference along with a cryptographic “proof” that anyone can verify that the computation was indeed done with that model and the result was correct, but the person running the inference could hide the input.
Or let’s say you have a competition for whoever can train the best classifier for some specific task. I could train a model and when I run it the test set inputs could be public, and I could “hide” the model but the zk computation would still reveal the hash of the model. So let’s say I won this competition, I could at the end reveal the model that I tried, and anyone would be able to check that the model I revealed and the model that was ran that beat everyone else was in fact the same model.
- Comment on Doom NPCs with Zero-Knowledge Proofs 1 month ago:
The model that is doing the inference is committed to before hand (it’s hashed) so you can’t lie about what model produced the inference. That is how ezkl, the underlying library, works.
I know a lot of people in this cryptography space, and there are definitely scammers across the general “crypto space”, but in the actual cryptography space most people are driven by curiosity or ideology.
