Cilvicon Show HN: I made a website to limit sensitive info to LLMs

I'm curious in something like this as well not only for sharing with AI but sharing in general.

Would be great to have a filter for copy paste of logs but also screenshots.

Key would be to identify the potentially harmful information instead of having to maintain a blacklist of secrets that I want to be removed.

Maybe the tool could learn over time which phrases/words I'd want removed.

Cilvicon Show HN: I made a website to limit sensitive info to LLMs

Thanks. Encryption being all over the place on the github readme got me of on the the wrong foot.

Replacement is easy to understand indeed.

Cilvicon Show HN: Built simple prod to AI generate charts in 0.37 secs and analyze data

On Firefox I get an error playing the video. Edge plays the sound but not the video.

No video wit supported format and MIMe type found. I'm sure I can install something to fix it, but wanted to let you know.

Cilvicon Show HN: I made a website to limit sensitive info to LLMs

I'd love to understand maybe by an example.

How does the model decrypt the text if it does not have the key? If the model has the key why encrypt in the first play?

Cilvicon Show HN: Teable – Open-Source No-Code Database Fusion of Postgres and Airtable

Can you share the motivation behind it? Why did you open source it? Is there a commercial version where some feature will be paid?

Cilvicon Show HN: Teable – Open-Source No-Code Database Fusion of Postgres and Airtable

Was the pun intended?

I'm also curious to see a comparison between the above, in particular trying to understand who is the most open source in their features + expected to not start feature capping soon.

Cilvicon Context-switching – one of the worst productivity killers

Cilvicon Apache Superset

Is that new? Last time I checked this was the major downside from superset

Cilvicon Apache Superset

>Took me a while figure out how to embed it into my app using Superset Embedded SDK.

Superset Embedded SDK - "Embedded SDK allows you to embed dashboards from Superset into your own app, using your app's authentication. Embedding is done by inserting an iframe, containing a Superset page, into the host application."

Cilvicon 2023 Word of the Year is "enshittification"

I'm a German speaker and even though I understand the difference, the word makes me struggle each time and I have to figure out whether en-shittification or de-shittification is meant.

I came for the same reason, but the article is still cool :-)

Cilvicon YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin

>I guess it's because they want to sell "video inventory" to their advertisers. But why really?

My guess is because the non-modal video ads are the only things that a human can not ignore easily. Banner blindness is a thing and I'm pretty sure we are great at "blocking" everything around the video (that we actually want to look at).

So the only option is to withhold what we want (the content) until we consumed what we don't want (the ad).

Cilvicon YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin

I agree that GP is a great take on the situation.

I'm less sure that humanity is incapable of finding another way to foster the creativity and the education/entertainment value the world gets out of youtube. I'd love to see us try and only go back to advertising if that is indeed the only/best way.

Yes ad-supported YT is "free" of direct cash payment, but how much do we (society) "pay" in form of thoughts that we wouldn't have had where it not for an advertiser to force it onto us. I sometimes wonder if advertising is a kind of corruption and will be outlawed / considered inhumane at some point in the future.

Cilvicon Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invidious

This describes how it works at least tiny bit:

>Invidious does not use the official YouTube API, but scrapes the website for video and metadata such as likes and views.[10]

Cilvicon Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends

Thanks, I've looked at the docs of newpipe and invidious and neither make it straight forward to understand how they work. Both focus on "this is more private than watching on youtube"

It sounds like there is some kind of instance/server which my client/with a cleaner frontend will talk to.

But how does that work and why can youtube not detect it and block it?

Cilvicon Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends

Thanks for explaining, but what is an alternative frontend in this case?

Cilvicon Show HN: QuestDB with Python, Pandas and SQL in a Jupyter notebook – no install

Reading your pitch here, i'd love to have a vague idea what questdb is and why I should care.

Cilvicon Bumblebee: GPT2, Stable Diffusion, and More in Elixir

Amazing thanks for sharing.

As a Jupyter notebook user who has not tried Livebook (yet) i can summarize after watching:

- in Jupyter notebook state is hard to reproduce because execution can go back and forth between cells and that is not tracked. in Livebook execution is always top to bottom (still interactive and you can have branches)

- built-in package management

- multiplayer (the same notebook can be accessed and manipulated by multiple users)

- easier version control (a subset of markdown)

- ...

Cilvicon Show HN: Codeium – a free, fast AI codegen extension

I briefly tried it and it was indeed very fast, but I couldn't get simple things for python. It would just keep adding import statements or try to continue writing my comment (even though I wanted the code that matches the comment).

Also I couldn't find any way to toggle alternative suggestions.

Cilvicon Taler Systems SA is looking for investors for development of GNU Taler

I'm interested in the business plan for Taler SA. I find it super cool to have a for-profit company provide a paid service with the open source software with the (non-profit) goal to promote the adoption of the software/system.
