Any registered voter can apply to the IEC to be an election observer during the voting and counting process. Quick and easy process.

Exciting news: The EskomsePush guys built an election app/website. It's super cool. Drill downs to VD level, with all historical turnout/voting data (back to 2000!). It's awesme! esp.info/elections

Gov anti-disinformation bot "RSA Facts” is a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent embedded on a Zoho landing-page subdomain, not gov.za. Chat routes via the EU. No frame-ancestors, no auth on the token endpoint, wildcard CORS: trivially cloned onto a lookalike domain.

How sure are we that this is actually from our government? 👀 Many their X account has been hacked?

Built as a Zoho landing page that is, in its entirety, one iframe. The bot lives in an environment named "Default", is titled "Testing", has a 404 favicon, it's hosted in the US, and appears to be using Microsoft Copilot Studio "webchat". Proudly South African

My guess, is probably similar to why Google doesn't sell its hardware here, is because of SABS/ICASA/some regulatory hoop which US company couldn't be arsed to jump.

Now I have my Robot Vacuum Cleaner video in Frigate, and you can too! 🤗 github.com/c4talyst/ecovacs-…
Typical Thursday evening. Bit of wine, bit of rea, working on the couch with an old iPad (Termius to my main machine), and now I have a local dashboard of my robot vacuum cleaner with real time video. Cool cool, cool.

卧槽,3090要可能要涨价了!! 因为老黄的刀法被人破解了 有人给3090解了个锁,同样限制在 360W,PyTorch 测试从 75 TFLOPS 跑到了 135 TFLOPS,提升约 80%! 你以为是超频,把功耗往上拉? 但他改的是显卡里控制运算速度的寄存器,这些寄存器平时有权限保护,正常改不了 他利用 GPU 启动固件的漏洞,赶在 NVIDIA 驱动加载之前拿到写入权限,把相关运算改成全速,再交给原版驱动使用 解开的主要是 FP16/BF16 输入、FP32 累加这类 AI 运算的速度限制 但测试算力多了 80%!! 4090 也有分支项目做到了:同类运算的指令吞吐,从约 165 TFLOPS 提升到 331 TFLOPS,接近翻倍 项目地址,附上👇 github.com/Zagitta/gpu-unloc…

Maybe I can automate this, enable video only when it's working, not when it's chilling.
