The author discusses the potential insecurity of 2048 bit RSA encryption after the year 2030 and suggests that the minimum secure length should be increased to 3072 bits. This prediction is based on the exponential growth of computing technology and factoring efficiency observed in recent years. However, the author argues that there are limitations to […]
This article discusses advanced image temporal upscaling and latency compensation techniques used in demanding applications, such as pathtracing, AR, and VR. The article explains three common methods: interpolation, extrapolation, and reprojection. Interpolation is used to calculate intermediate samples between two discrete samples, while extrapolation estimates samples beyond the input range. Reprojection, also known as warping, […]
GPT-4 is a massive model with over 10 times the size of GPT-3, boasting approximately 1.8 trillion parameters across 120 layers. OpenAI implemented a mixture of experts (MoE) model, utilizing 16 experts with about 111 billion parameters each. The routing algorithm for expert selection was allegedly simple compared to other advanced algorithms. GPT-4 was trained […]
Let’s Encrypt has announced a transition plan that will affect the compatibility of their certificates with Android devices. Previously, Let’s Encrypt had cross-signed their certificates with IdenTrust’s DST Root CA X3 to ensure widespread trust. However, as their own ISRG Root X1 became trusted on its own, they needed to make changes. Now, Let’s Encrypt […]
Immich is a high-performance self-hosted photo and video backup solution that is currently in active development. The project warns users to expect bugs and breaking changes and strongly advises against using the app as the sole storage for photos and videos. The official documentation, installation guides, and demo can be accessed on the Immich website. […]
DNA encoded with the ‘BacCam’ system and found that there was no loss of information for the encoded images when stored in both liquid and dried form. Additionally, the encoded information remained intact even when stored in varying conditions for extended periods of time. The researchers also demonstrated the multiplexing capabilities of BacCam by successfully […]
Lima is a software that allows users to run Linux on a Mac, which can be handy for those who need to use Linux-specific software. It is a simpler alternative to Vagrant and provides a default configuration. It automatically downloads a Ubuntu 22.04 image and mounts the entire home directory inside the virtual machine (VM), […]
Petalisp is a specialized extension of Common Lisp that aims to generate high performance code for parallel computers. While not a full programming language, Petalisp allows for extreme optimization and parallelization. To get started, users must install Lisp and a suitable IDE, with Portacle being a recommended option. Petalisp can be downloaded via Quicklisp, and […]
The visionOS Simulator can now be streamed wirelessly to a Meta Quest headset using ALVR. This process has been tested using Xcode 15 beta 2 and macOS 14 beta 2 on Apple Silicon with the original Meta Quest. To set it up, you need to sideload ALVR Nightly 2023.07.06 onto your Meta Quest, start the […]
