It was a true concern, I know people who never got used to it. But were 70+ at the time and dead by now, so it eventually gets fixed, yeah.

Xor and binary fuse filters require access to the full set of keys at construction time. In this sense, they are immutable. Alternatives have typically a fixed memory usage and a maximal capacity, but they also allow more flexibility such as progressive construction (adding keys one by one).
They can end being the Altavista of this era.
I'm more worried about those who will learn to solve the problems with the help of an LLM, but can't do anything without one. Those will go under the radar, unnoticed, and the problem is, how bad is it, actually? I would say that a lot, but then I realize I'm pretty useless driver without a GPS (once I get out of my hometown). That's the hard question, IMO.
But if you use tools, for example for extending its knowledge through web searches, it could be used to exfiltrate information. It could do it by visiting some specially crafted url's to leak parts of your prompts (this includes the contents of documents added to them with RAG).
If given an interpreter, even if sandboxed, could try to do some kind of sabotage or "call home" with locally gathered information, obviously disguised as safe "regular" code.
It's unlikely that a current model that is runnable in "domestic" hardware could have those capabilities, but in the future these concerns will be more relevant.
Open source, fast and good: openrouter with opensource models (Qwen, Llama,etc...) It's not local but these is no vendor lockin, you can switch to another provider or invest in a gpu.
Most business will want their models trained in their own, internal data, instead of risking uploading their Intellectual Property into SaaS solutions. These Open Source models could fill that gap.

This learnt me how to analyze "small" datasets which have helped me incredibly in my career. Technology wise is very out of date, but the concepts are still valid.
I think it's hard to get more with less investmtent. Really underrated book.
2. Expert Oracle Database Architecture
If you have to develop on Oracle (something I undestand it's not very popular in HN), you have to read it. It's a great book that delves into the why's and not only into the how's.
3. Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art.
Only the "cone of uncertainty" concept would make it a must-read. It provided me a framework for doing estimations and at same time, to worry less about them. It has helped me to divert lots of uncomfortable conversations about "when" towards a much more productive "what-and-why-is-needed".
- Try to reach Google's One support instead of the generic Google Gsupport. Since they are paying customers, may be there are humans involved at some point.
- If that fails, the next move is to take the legal path. There are several ways of doing so before going to court. I assume that once so trivial reaches any lawyer of the company it will be fixed immediatelly. If it doesn't, given that the company has valuable and confidential information that's not accessible anymore the case could be strong enough to reach a judge, even if the amount itself is very low (20eur/year). It's expensive and will take time, but it's the best I can devise.
I'm probably too naive but I can't think anything better. I'd gladly pay some money just to avoid this scenario.
One of the problems here, and the source of a lot of trouble it's that sending nuanced messages it's very hard and goverments feared that being cautious could affect negatively to vaccination rates. So they took the simplistic path of presenting the vaccines as a silver bullet for everyone (and they were but in a very varying degree).
I can understand that decision but at the same time, it has thrown a lot of fair "skeptics" under the bus.
You are oversimplying and again conflating both groups. You assume people made their mind first and then looked for experts' to support which it's not fair to a lot of them.
Let's focus on an specific case. A healthy 25 years old male living in on of those countries. If he's an skeptic and decides to make a data oriented decision, the truth is that his chance of dying or getting a severe infection was really slim and probably comparable to the odds of getting a myocarditis because of it.
Yet the media and the government, at least in my country, did not make any difference between his case and a 60 years old with hypertension. Everyone had to take their shot or be denied his right to go to a pub or restaurant.
True experts' doubts just reinforce their positions instead of weakening them, IMO.
For the record, I have got 3 shots (2 Pfizer + 1 Moderna), and I don't regret it. But I respect people who chose differently because the unknowns about the vaccines.
Take it as you want.
Have a nice day.
Now we're making progress.
Yes, I guessed she was referring to Trump supporters. And that's exactly the problem I have with the article. It's hard to disagree with someone who argues for formulae to fight fascism, until you realize that term means something different for every person, specially if she's in the left.
How do you know she doesn't apply that label to every Trump supporter and not just the kind of one who stormed the Capitol?
And after reading that article. Are you sure she would be ok with the fact that trumpists were using Signal to communicate on Jan 6 and wouldn't try to undermine its usage among them? Sure, there are multiple interpretations of her words, but certainly it raises a doubt. And that and no other was my point.
> Not to mention the bulk of the Republican Party incorrectly believes that the 2020 election was stolen.
Come on. You don't sincerely believe that.
Reading random guys in the internet it's not the only thing I do and I don't think I implied that. It was just a data point to support that the notion that it's not widely accepted that leftist bias is present in some tech platforms.
I have the impression you are trying to "defeat" without the need of presenting any argument just because I'm not american. If you want some kind of victory it's yours. If you have convincing arguments I will be delighted to hear them. Still waiting, though.
I don't watch Fox News, just read comments on american dominated forums like this one and reddit (the regular subrredits like r/news or r/europe, not obscure ones). And I my impression is that the average left-leaning user does not openly acknowledge that there is a leftist bias on Twitter or Youtube. On the contrary.
> Didn’t you read the part about fascism? She’s talking about republicans lol, you realize that right?
I don't understand what you mean, I'm sorry, but I have read the whole thing.
That it took this long for Big Tech companies to take fascists seriously enough to remove some of them from social media should serve as a wake-up call: Elites tend to realize the dangers of fascism only when violent flash points hit close to home. It is workers and historically marginalized people who are—and always have been—the anti-fascist front line. If progressives are to ensure that technical systems aren’t yoked to a far-right agenda, they’ll need to stop relying on legislative maneuvering or entreaties to corporations and, together with these frontline actors globally, vie for control over the infrastructure itself.
I read this as "I believe that Democrats have a grip on Big Tech" (that's the point of many trumpists, she seems to agree with them). But instead of presenting it as a bad thing, she thinks that it's not enough and the control over the infraestructure should be stronger.
vs
_The left must vie for control over the algorithms, data, and infrastructure that shape our lives._
I don't think these two staments match very well. Caesar's wife and all that....
Edit: BTW, I wish her well too. I don't think that she's going to hinder Signal's crypto just serve to the left's interests, but she hasn't a clean record.
I have to admit, being anti-woke myself (not American), that this article caught my eye:

Not the kind of person I would expect to be in charge of Signal, TBH.
Mary shouldn't care about a) vs b) unless she has to wait too much to get the answer. If she has, then her need has to be weighted against other business needs, so the data gathered in c) becomes relevant. b) then becomes one of c's aftermaths.
d) is dishonest
So it is a) -> c)
I wouldn't go directly to c), a) is cheap enough.
