> bitlocker Windows is actually pushing for bitlocker by default now. I believe new Windows 11 installs either are already or will soon start defaulting to enabling bitlocker across the board. > telemetry/training It's really just timer triggered screenshots + OCR + an SLM (small language model) running on device on a TPU/NPU, GPU, or other ONNX compatible device. I'm generally super uncharitable about Microsoft since a lot of their stuff is a nasty black box with unclear security assumptions however with Recall, it seems like people are really jumping to conclusions without really even looking into what all it is. This is a largely "unsophisticated" product made by bolting a bunch of more or less preassembled components and the bulk of which is open source. - Screenshot + OCR is almost certainly Microsoft Powertoys Text Extractor (https:

//github.com/microsoft/PowerToys) - The DB is sqlite but the system is probably just kernel-memory which is a local .NET application: https://github.com/microsoft/kernel-memory - The SLM is Phi-3 which is open and designed primarily to run locally https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-phi-3-red... - The actual underlying tech stack is DirectML (https://github.com/microsoft/DirectML) and ONNX (https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime). ---- So the data is intended to be encrypted at rest along with the rest of the OS, it's all run locally (which isn't a handwaivy thing, the tech is all very much capable of running locally) and if you don't have hardware capable of running it, it shouldn't be enabled in the first place. My confusion with all of this is why Recall didn't start out as a PowerToys feature. It sounds like the exact type of internal "look at this cool little toy I built" thing that generally makes it into PowerToys but I'm assuming some exec ran with the opportunity and said "this is awesome, let's ship it with the OS and make it a highliner feature for our AI push" which is how we got here.

I am long sought after a CUDA or HIP compiler that target SPIR-V or DXIL. So that we can compile all thoes neural network kernels to almost all compute devices. The requirements are, 1. extend on C++17 this means template meta programming works so that cub or cutlass/cute works 2. AOT 3. and no shitshow! The only thing that comes to close is circle[1]. - OpenCL is a no go, as it is purely C. And it is full of shitshow especially on Android devices. And the vendor drivers are the main source of shit, jit compile adds the other. - Vulkan+GLSL is a no go. The degree of shitness is on par with OpenCL due to driver and jit compiler. - slang[2] has the potential, but the meta programming part is not as strong as C++, existing libraries cannot be used. The above conclusion is drawn from my work on OpenCL EP for onnxruntime. And it purely is

e sense to support anything besides WebGPU at this point. WASM + SIMD is around 15-20x slower on my machine[1]. Although WebGL is more widely supported today, it doesn't have the compute features needed for efficient modern ML (transformers etc) and will likely be a deprecated backend for other frameworks when WebGPU comes online. tensorflow rust has a struct.Tensor: https://tensorflow.github.io/rust/tensorflow/struct.Tensor.h...

Fwiw it looks like the llama.cpp Tensor is from ggml, for which there are CUDA and OpenCL implementations (but not yet ROCm, or a WebGPU shim for use with emscripten transpilation to WASM): https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/ggml.h Are the recommendable ways to cast e.g. arrow Tensors to pytorch/tensorflow? FWIU, Rust has a better compilation to WASM; and that's probably faster than already-compiled-to-JS/ES TensorFlow + WebGPU. What's a fair benchmark?

I can't seem to figure if the PR for the WebGPU backend for onnxruntime is supposed to land in a 1.14 release, a 1.15 release, has already landed, isn't yet scheduled to land, etc? https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/pull/14579 https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases I don't see it in any releases yet? https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/milestone/4 I don't see it in the upcoming milestone.
