GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

1. Copy m3u8 link

2. Run command

echo "Enter m3u8 link:";read link;echo "Enter output filename:";read filename;ffmpeg -i "$link" -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -vcodec copy -c copy -crf 50 $filename.mp4

Standards

NIST

https://github.com/usnistgov/800-63-3/blob/nist-pages/sp800-63b/sec5_authenticators.md

Verifiers SHOULD NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types or prohibiting consecutively repeated characters) for memorized secrets. Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically).However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.

Podman with docker-compose on MacOS.

Podman an alternative to Docker Desktop on MacOS

Getting podman installed and started is super easy.
Just use brew to install it.

> brew install podman

Now since podman uses a VM just like the Docker Client on MacOS we need to initialize that and start it.

This worked on 14/May/23. The instructions will probably require updating in the future.

llama is a text prediction model similar to GPT-2, and the version of GPT-3 that has not been fine tuned yet. It is also possible to run fine tuned versions (like alpaca or vicuna with this. I think. Those versions are more focused on answering questions)

Note: I have been told that this does not support multiple GPUs. It can only use a single GPU.

It is possible to run LLama 13B with a 6GB graphics card now! (e.g. a RTX 2060). Thanks to the amazing work involved in llama.cpp. The latest change is CUDA/cuBLAS which allows you pick an arbitrary number of the transformer layers to be run on the GPU. This is perfect for low VRAM.

Clone llama.cpp from git, I am on commit 08737ef720f0510c7ec2aa84d7f70c691073c35d.

	1) Create a branch with the tag
	git branch {tagname}-branch {tagname}
	git checkout {tagname}-branch

	2) Include the fix manually if it's just a change ....
	git add .
	git ci -m "Fix included"
	or cherry-pick the commit, whatever is easier
	git cherry-pick {num_commit}
