catmanjan··on Jev introduces a new shape of LLM
I've only dabbled, but I thought for a given input, with no previous context and a hotness of zero, LLMs would be deterministic - am I wrong?
catmanjan··on Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
I think its an intentional mockup - perhaps the intent is to make it look like it all happened within a minute, and I'm sure they picked that time to imply that its something you could do after your 9-5... marketing is all so sinister.

Ok Im having trouble reconciling this comment

> SQL query auditing is great for knowing what queries were run but it doesn't tell you what data was actually returned

With what you’re saying - sounds like cipher doesnt tell you what data was actually returned either - it will only tell you if the user could have received a decrypted version of the data right?

So the audit log contains an ID for a key which could decrypt a value - does the audit log also contain the encrypted value itself? If not, how do you go from the audit log back to the original value in 1?

So an identifier is kept for each column returned by a query?

If the value changes would you be able to get from the id you have audited back to the value that was returned at that point in time?

On auditing, is that CipherStash or the application doing the auditing? Seems like your logs would be huge if it contained values of queries

Ok? Even if they're batched? Grid energy is batched too

Are you sure? I thought tokens (or watts) were sold at such a loss that if current supply limits were reached they’d go broke

Also interested in this - the kWh figures people talk about do not match the price of the subscriptions
catmanjan··on I’m joining OpenAI
Is that just because people pay subscriptions and never use their tokens? Same model as ISPs
