  • But I want to know what is AMD working on, specially if it has to do with the RT / HDR / color management areas.

    HDR/Color Management is not really AMD’s job. That’s between the Wayland and Mesa guys (I guess you could say AMD belongs in the “Mesa guys” umbrella).

    Also, I’m pretty sure AMD already supports ray tracing through Mesa, and is enabled by default since version 23.2 on the radv driver:

  • Yes, but confidence values are not magic. These values are calculated based on how familiar the current input is to a previous observed input. If the type of input is unfamiliar to the model, what do you think happens? Usually, there will be a category with a high enough confidence score so that it will be chosen as the correct one, while being wrong. Now, assuming you somehow manage to not get a favorable confidence score for any decision. What do you think happens in that case? I never encountered this, but there can only be 3 possible paths: 1) Choose a random value. Not good. 2) Do nothing. Not good. 3) Rerun the model with slightly newer data? Maybe helps, but in the case of driving a car, slightly newer data might be too late.





  • From the repo:

    A random DNS and HTTPS internet traffic noise generator provides enhanced privacy and security by obfuscating users’ online activities. It generates random, non-user-initiated queries to DNS servers and encrypted HTTPS connections, making it difficult for third parties such as ISPs, surveillance systems, or malicious actors to analyze and track actual browsing patterns. This added layer of traffic noise reduces the effectiveness of traffic analysis and profiling techniques, making it harder to identify specific behaviors, websites, or services accessed by the user.

    Technically, even if your data is encrypted, the amount of data you send (and the time between packets) can be analyzed to at the very least figure out what website you’re on, and who knows what else (i.e. Youtube’s HTML, CSS, and JS files will be different than Facebook’s, so the amount of data sent will be different, and you can train an AI to recognize these patterns). This app pretty much it protects you against packet analysis from your ISP or anyone else who could monitor your network. I guess this assumes that you’re using a VPN or some sort of proxy since it’s not very useful otherwise.
