Okay, got it.
So local models should work for clustering (like your HN book map), but discovering those trails probably still needs SOTA for now.
Keep it up, hope to see updates if you continue building on this!
Looks great, thanks for sharing!
I've been thinking about something like this for personal notes to pull together fragmented notes. I assume the trail synthesis needs some pretty beefy models, but do you think something along those lines could work with 8-14B local models?
NFTs are amazing because you apparently “own” them but the AWS outtage yesterday took out everyones apes lol

love to see it

As other have said Brother is a great choice.

This explains why: "Brother's have remained consistently Fine I Guess, which now makes them the best printer manufacturer simply by virtue of them opting out of the Who Can Get Crappiest Fastest race"
Oh wow. That's super cool.
This is an excellent primer on some of the privacy dangers posed by large scale AI, from a cybersecurity perspective. Written in clear language, it's the most accessible rundown I've seen yet on these topics!

who is this for? that's what I can't wrap my head around - who wants to follow someone who's not real, and is posting about their regular day to day life except none of it is really happening? who is this *for*?
Volkswagen left an unprotected database with up to two years of sensitive personal data on 800k networked VW, Seat, Audi and Skoda cars accessible online, including names, user IDs, sensor and geolocation data.

In case you don't have time to read the EDPB opinion on AI training, here's a summary of pretty much every paragraph.
Used to hate finding typos after hitting send. Now I'm just like "Well, at least they won't think I'm a LLM."

I haven't read it myself (yet) but the way this 'mnemonic book' is laid out looks awesome!
From a legal perspective this isn't really covered AFAIK (or there doesn't seem to be an issue with it). Even if it's your identical twin brother that uses services like these.
I think @carissaveliz.bsky.social touched on this topic in her book "Privacy Is Power". Highly recommended btw.
There is also this article by The Athlantic, but it is unfortunately paywalled.

Thanks for the article.
About encrypted DNS: I'm curious about choosing servers. While encrypted DNS solves the ISP plaintext issue, what makes certain servers more trustworthy beyond different jurisdictions? (personally, I'd avoid Google's DNS given their track record with user privacy)
Is the image just black for everyone else? Wondering if there was an error uploading or if it's just my client.
"How it works" from proofofhumanity.id
I wonder if something like this could work. But it might be a too strong barrier for new users that just want to try Bluesky out without having verified users able to vouch for them...

In the UK case GDPR was enacted before Brexit and is thus valid UK law.
Thanks to GDPR they need to offer this option to EU citizen and non-EU citizen living in the EU. It also applies to some non-EU countries like Norway. I think Switzerland and UK are special cases but seem to be covered here.
So yes, everyone in the EU & UK should be able to do this.

Do you guys remember this fucking bullshit lmao
However, that doesn't really address the password sharing. But that might just be the "move fast and break things" of access controls.
Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
That being said, I nonetheless think the best approach is publishing IDs that point to the entries, not complete datasets. We cannot expect people wanting to delete their content to contact everyone who made these datasets public. The burden should be on those using the data, not the data subjects.
Other obvious downsides, beyond being time-intensive: It requires knowledge of the API or software (not obvious for e.g. social scientists) and data entropy as tweets get deleted over time, making comparisons across studies difficult.
Depending on the dataset, it is more than just a mild convenience. Extreme example is the 2016 US election dataset had 280 million tweets. With Twitter’s API limitations it would take 32 days to retrieve the full dataset. (IF all tweets would still be available)
