Is there an RSS feed that reports these kinds of vulnerabilities?

one idea i was thinking for anonymizing data when sent to models is to hash or modulo with salt some values before sending it to the model and then unhash/unmodulo on the result. in other words, a way to keep the users data their own. just an idea.

i looove this. i have been working on something similar. are you using AI to help with balance forecasting? would you be willing to share how it has been working out for you? how much set up is necessary for you to set it and forget it. i am currently using monarch and only ever look at account balances and only sometimes look at transactions.

> Git offers tools for working with a slice of a repository, such as shallow clones, sparse checkouts, and promisor remotes.

I honestly just cannot. Just tell me what the workflow is. Give me a video that is Twilio-level simple explanation.

> Most of the “breathtaking” innovations of the early pioneers of the field are obvious solutions that anyone would have thought of when faced with the problems they encountered.

This is just straight up arrogance without any proof. Every breakthrough builds off another's work. Then to claim that 'AGI has been correctly predicted', I honestly don't even know what you are talking about.

Yeah, probably not the best strategy but it is a strategy. I just think this is generally how most wars in history won. Biggest army to just pummel the enemy.

isn't it more like: i have 1000 bits, i transfer 1000 bits but depending on the person, it might be lossy, so they only understand about 700. they then come up with the 300+- on their own, potentially putting them over 1000 or they come back and ask questions to fill in the blank. the bits don't ever have to be bit identical.

How do people mentally price things. I'm on the fringe but I'm willing to pay $60 for a AAA 60 hour game that I'm positive I won't finish but am find if I get 6-10 hours out of it.

I love reading Gwern. This seems like a really ambitious project, but guaranteeing some of these things like trustworthiness and security behind a private company is a bit sus. Later on they make military use a selling point for GA. Maybe I'm a bit of a cynic but the division of USA values are increasingly dividing each year. Assuming that our values and principals today will not be the values and principals of tomorrow. And that those values taught today (or even yesterday) will be left out of the context window tomorrow.

EDIT: tbh, some of this reads as satire now.

For all of these things, then what's the point of having a humanoid robot then? The last thing is a folding laundry bot that I would happily also pay $1000 for.

What is the true purpose of our existence?

Yes, but they won't say that. Instead they will say _too Chinese, too communist, too national security-y_
