Main work: tokenization of real-world assets, but on the side I’m building two projects as a solo dev:
- XRoll.io — a fully on-chain gaming framework on the XRP Ledger, inspired by SatoshiDice but built for compliance. Commit-reveal fairness (HMAC_SHA256(secret, bet_txn_hash)), full transparency on-chain. Integrated KYC, AML, self-limits at the protocol level. Frontend is optional; ledger is the source of truth.
- Nexula — an evolutionary image generation system. Embeddings extracted with CLIP, clustered via HDBSCAN, visualized with UMAP. User behavior (time spent) drives fitness scores; top samples recombine through weighted interpolation to generate new images. Built on Django backend, session-based personalization without login.
Looking for like-minded people interested in exploring both the technical and business sides of these systems.
I can also recommend Trilium Notes [1], which I have been happily using for years. It's currently in "maintenance mode", which I personally see as a feature (no risk of bloatware).
Self-hosted, great webapp, optional native clients and works offline.
If you're using print debugging in python try this instead:
> import IPython; IPython.embed()
That'll drop you into an interactive shell in whatever context you place the line (e.g. a nested loop inside a `with` inside a class inside a function etc).
You can print the value, change it, run whatever functions are visible there... And once you're done, the code will keep running with your changes (unless you `sys.exit()` manually)
If you are struggling to understand the README, I highly recommend the book Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan by Richard McElreath. Although the examples are in R, the same concepts apply to Pyro (and NumPyro)
it's not that complicated that you need to read a whole book just to get a rough idea: it's just a cutesy way to specify a "plate model"[1] and then run inference using that model.
I was going to comment this. “What’s wrong with `cat`”, whose job is literally to concatenate files? Or even [uncompressed] `tar` archives, which are basically just a list of files with some headers?
I've been using QubesOS for years, and I highly recommend it. Not only for security (which of course), but also for the cleanliness of not polluting your computer with a myriad of dependencies for projects you just tried once.
And of course, the high-risk activities that we all have to do at some point (now at least their risk is limited to their virtual machine) :
- curl|bash or similar
- pip install, npm install etc
- run any random github project
- sudo install the drivers of my Brother printer
- install zoom
- plug random cheap USB devices to eg update their firmware
I think you don't understand. Qubes relies on software virtualization in conjunction with hardware assisted virtualization instruction sets. The aforementioned vulnerability existed in Qubes Xen.
I'm not an expert, but how could it affect the VT-d even in principle? AFAIK VM escape is impossible with software exploits in this case, only side-channel attacks are.
