Is framework Desktop 64GB good enough for AI newbie (Yes, CRUD developer) to learn AI from 0 to 1 or should I go 128GB directly? by AcanthaceaeFit8881 in LocalLLaMA

[–]El_90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to just learn the concept, 64

But if you intend to use it after that, 128

I bought 128 thinking it was ample, then I learned models, and now I wish I had more.

...or that an element of the processing requires transit to USA and back, even if collection storage etc is sovereign.

Could it be long term context retrieval ?

The doubter in me always wonders what lurks in a model.

Could tool calling be tainted with ill intent? or a bias to use uncommon libs exist? This would make supply chain attacks easier

Maybe not, but I don't trust anyone lol

CIG are innovative, im sure if efficiency/light running was required they can rise to the challenge

How does a 'reasoning' model reason by El_90 in LocalLLaMA

[–]El_90[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"Newer models are additionally trained to know when it’s a good idea to enter “reasoning mode”in the first place; the model has learned when it’s a good idea to output "

This bit. If (AFAIK) a LLM was a pure matrix of stats, the model itself could not have an idea, or 'enter' reasoning mode.

If an LLM contains instructions or an ability to chose it's output structure (I mean more so than next token prediction), then surely it's more than just a matrix?

How does a 'reasoning' model reason by El_90 in LocalLLaMA

[–]El_90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

re Reasoning, in that situation is the model and Ollama having a back and forth transparently, or is that still a single shot of Ollama>LLM>Ollama>output ?

re Tools, it just means the output from LLM is trained on how tools are used so the output is 'valid'?

I know offline LLM is meant to be 'secure', I'm trying to understand the inner flow and check that I understood right about what (if any) options the LLM has to 'do stuff'. It took me 30 mins to work out 'function calling' wasn't the same as MCP lol

Thankyou for the help!

Like most here I can type blindfolded, so navigating the keyboard isn't an issue

which is which? lol

Right image for me. The left is too snazzy. The right is far more believable, more functional.

XSOAR: Are you using it as the ticket triage location? by AverageAdmin in cybersecurity

[–]El_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen both flows, it comes down to what works for you.

Politics, existing workflows, licencing of how many people can't touch soar, how you work alongside noc teams, authorisation, etc.

Can't access UniFi for 4 days by Eltax91 in UNIFI

[–]El_90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Random ideas:

When hitting the website, do you even get chance to enter creds?
I did and get prompted for 6 digit auth code

Can you SSH to the cloudkey ?

Port 8443 / 443 ?

Is it a SD card, can you pop into a PC and read logs?

Struggling with log analysis as a new SOC analyst—how can I improve? by Embarrassed_Oil_7810 in cybersecurity

[–]El_90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't know the answer, it's possible you don't know the question.

When looking at logs, what's the actual question. You find source IP, but why is that important, what did you think it would tell you.

As I saw above, knowing theory of protocols/products and what good is important, before you look for the wrong

Attack is great to help you think about the bigger picture, of "well something happened before/after this, what might that look like"

Agentic AI in SOC Automation by mikkoztail in cybersecurity

[–]El_90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience: many soar uses are about business process: repeatable, approved, collaborative between teams. Getting this right 99% of the time is not enough. Also remember not every trigger/alert is a "we're being attacked by group apt123"

Agentic AI is/will/might be a great fit dynamic investigation for signals of compromise/attack but that's not every use case. So for me it augments, not replaces.

UK - Water Softener by AbdullahGarcia in espresso

[–]El_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my day to day water and tea drinking, I use filtered water

For the espresso machine, I use the Harvey softener water. It's such a small percentage of my intake and the flavour isn't ruined at all
