This thread is about a locally running LLM, with an air gap. How can a third party company harvest anything from that? Even if you didn't develop the LLM yourself, if you downloade…

One idea is 2 family computers next to each other. LAN party!

Yes, it's a subject without a predicate. So it's not a complete sentence. That doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Let's say there's an image with the caption "A man looking at a f…

There are numbers in between 1.4 and 4.02. There's no reason Switzerland would need to swing to the complete opposite end.

What if the AI is configured to only do ephemeral conversations? Nothing stored. What if there's no typed or visible text, and the entire chat is done via audio?

Interestingly, Ford received a Kennedy Award for pardoning Nixon. https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/22/us/ford-wins-kennedy-awar...

Burning an identity? Instead of hacking the server that serves the binary, you have to hack the developer's machine and commit a malicious source change. I wouldn't consider either…

I agree. My point is that this isn't an "obvious hole in the whole E2E encryption setup", because no network actor (e.g. Google, Apple, Signal servers) can read the data. This "hol…

While I don't disagree in general, there are a couple gaps in your reasoning that weaken the argument: Adoption doesn't necessarily correlate completely with price. Price can incre…

AIUI, Signal push notifications just saying a message was received. Signal then fetches the E2E encrypted message from the server and decrypts it locally. So Apple/Google cannot re…

One benefit is avoiding screen time. You can't get sucked into your phone/computer if you don't touch them. Looking up a piece of information using the smart speaker helps prevent …

If the top offer is 15 GB, then 15GB is competitive, even if multiple providers offer it. Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on anything related to this.

Yes, we spend a lot on weddings, but not as much (adjusted for income) as they do on funerals. In Ghana they spend 2.3x-9x the yearly median income[1] on a funeral. The median inco…

The receiver will immediately move the bitcoin. So it has the same downside. If the receiver doesn't immediately move the bitcoin, the receiver is at risk of Satoshi stealing them …

Why is being dead a convincing idea? How old do you think he is/was, and why would it be likely that he would die? When do you think he died? The idea that he died doesn't explain …

This [1][2][3] seems to have a methodology for identifying Satoshi's coins, mined from 2009 to May 2010. But yes, for coins mined after May 2010, he likely can spend without scruti…

In one of the pictures, the laptop is on his tray, and the wii is on the tray of the seat next to him, and that seat looks empty. So the wii got its own airplane seat?

What's the much more plausible reason?

Satoshi cannot spend his fortune. If he did, it would be visible on the blockchain and bitcoin's price would collapse.

>why would you do that if you were rich? Satoshi can't spend any of his bitcoins without tanking bitcoin's price. So Satoshi needs to find some other way to support himself. Creati…

Bottle rockets I assume. I had a lot of fun with them as a kid. Thankfully no one involved with those got hurt. https://www.nhpyro.com/black-cat-bottle-rockets.html
