I've been working in the privacy space for ~4 years now and have worked across, homomorphic encryption, Federated Learning and finetuning. I've also run multiple user studies on privacy during my time doing a master's in priv

I see this too often. But, realistically users do not care about the harvesting as it is unseen and behind the scenes. Most people just want get stuff done in a competent, fast and easy-to-use operating system. >It also locks you into th

incredibly impressive demos. I wonder how the training data for these models look like? is it separate batches of special "skills" that are added post training? how can they guarantee the models won't eventually lose a skill?

Will the big labs leave anything for external competition? This probably killed a thousand startups in this space. in the early internet you wouldn't see google creating their own news site or facebook building their own animal farm. w

i suppose a quick test would be getting the model to write down Micken's essay end to end. if the original essay was stuffed within the prompt window. the result will be word accurate. unless this is a model trained specifically on Mic

This is unlikely. The way model distribution works is that the model retains a lossy representation of James Micken's writing. Very likely, it cannot repeat Micken's writing verbatim. Neither can it reason about the training cutof

this is definitely not true. with AI agents, you're obtaining a mildly lossy perspective of the code itself. whereas if you wrote it by hand, you'd have a more concrete understanding. This is not too different from an engineering

I've gone through this process and is this not a failure from the institute that are giving away these certifications for a fee without any due diligence? intermediaries like delve have only amplified this failure. it was obvious to an

parking is another $200. not to mention the tolls. my point is, ~$1500 is grocery for a month for us. why would i spend that much on just a car?

I recently moved out of new york to new jersey. don't have a car. my options now are either buy a car, pay insurance, maintenance etc. north $1,500/mo for the convenience of going to the grocery store or, get a subscription for al

I wrote that PR and can guarantee you that it was not vibe coded. the reason why I thought this PR was interesting is that, it only needed ~ 4 lines of real change, everything else was cascades due to that change. and the performance did im

ah! sorry. I meant to say, "the interesting part for me was that we removed code to improve performance."

I don't know what to say. I did my graduate in Privacy Engineering and it was just layers and layers of threat modeling and risk mitigation. When the mother of all risk comes. People just give the key to their personal lives without ev

Interesting take, but this feels like one of those tarpit ideas that YC discourages their portco to start attacking. Guaranteed this is going to attract a ton of abusers who are looking to use this for signing up to services, spamming or ot

This is verifiably false. You still need to do most of the grunt work, verifying and organizing the code. it's just you're not editing the code directly. Speed of typing out code is hardly the bottle neck. The bottleneck is visual
