Intel SGX is a secure enclave capability, which is cancelled on everything but Xeon. FWIU there is no SGX for timeshared GPUs. What executable loader reverifies the loaded executable in RAM after imit time ? What LLM loader reverifies the in-RAM model? Can Merkle hashes reduce that cost; of nn state verification? Can it be proven that a [chat AI] model hosted by someone else is what is claimed; that it's truly a response from "model abc v2025.02"? PaaS or IaaS

This has been a dream of mine ever since I first saw QOI. The encoding and decoding times and relatively high compression were perfect for this use case it was just a matter of implementation. Because the VNC protocol with tight encoding breaks frame changes into 100s of tiny images it allows us to encode and decode in a threaded manner. This means high FPS and low latency on a truly lossless remote Linux desktop in your web browser. The easiest way to try this out is an all in one docker container https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-kasm . To try it ephemerally on a Docker host simply run: docker run --rm -it --privileged -p 3000:3000 -p 443:443 linuxserver/kasm bash I had spent a long time trying to simplify Linux Desktop application delivery with linuxserver/webtop and all the derivative dedicated app images, but the speed and qualit

y was always lacking as it was using XRDP in tandem with Guacamole. The difference with this new KasmVNC https://github.com/kasmtech/KasmVNC implementation is night and day. Depending on client hardware it will deliver 60fps 1080p and 40-60fps 1440p for both the JPEG and QOI rendering modes. A quick video can be seen here https://youtu.be/VkzG5BU2gjo .
