I care.

I don't need anything better than Opus 5.5. Maybe if you wanna make more maths discoveries you'd need something else.

The comment I replied to was saying that "the developer sacrificing their own privacy". I don't think AI for coding significantly invades developers personal privacy.

Absolutely terrible companies. Another one is https://fingerprint.com/ but iirc they don't do ad targetting.

It seems to be app-based. So DNS blocking could work; it's easily circumvented by the platforms, but it's rarely circumvented. like mobile games with those ads.

You should threat model, but if you want to maximally protect yourself, use Vanadium or Brave Browser and GrapheneOS and no privacy invasive apps.

it seems they always get sent away as soon as you unclick it.

By the way, all your comments are banned because of the AI detector, but I'll just vouch for them. I think you're just using a translator, but unfortunately it's getting detected.

It was asked in good faith.

Going by this definition [1]:

>Privacy is the assurance that your data is only seen by the parties you intend to view it.

I’ve been assuming we’re using open source software. When developing open source, you’re putting your code out publicly. Your code is not private data.

As far as the agent acting on your computer, you can easily use Claude Code on the web on Anthropic’s VMs, or just run it in something like UTM or another user on your laptop.

So I don’t see how this is a big loss of privacy. By the definition, you’re intending Anthropic to see your code just as anyone else can.

Ways you could use AI in a non-privacy respecting way would be like letting it read all your personal notes while assuming the AI company will not share them or look at them. I don’t see code as sensitive like this.

Your prompts, pattern of speech, usage patterns, when you work, stuff you say to the LLM besides coding related. Those would be a fair argument for compromising the privacy of the developer. But as long as you consider what you say to be public, then you're intending that data to be out their, so your privacy isn't being compromised. You could make the same argument about developing in the open on GitHub. Anyone can learn about your usage patterns, time zone, etc. It is also fair to say you're giving that AI company more power over you by giving them exclusively that information, while on GitHub it would be information given to everyone. .

Brave search is quite good for private browsing and supposedly private AI answers.

This is a weird question and comment because a country doesn't generally make the software. But I suppose they seem to have a lot of influence on the companies. Like surveillance cameras in China.

If I was to say which countries do the most to restrict digital freedom, I'd say look at this table: https://eylenburg.github.io/countries.htm

If I was to say what companies have done the most to take the most privacy from the most people, it would be American big tech like Google and Meta.

There's some okayish software from Israel I can think of, like Zcash.

These Israeli ones are literal criminal companies. What Meta does should be illegal. Both are immoral.

A single spyware against a journalist is much worse than a single Facebook user, but for the total impact on society, they both destroy democracy and human rights significantly.

>I would sooner trust a Chinese company than an Israeli company

As for trust, with privacy I'm a big proponent of avoiding it. Use E2EE or self host if you have to. The country does not matter so much.

>the developer would be sacrificing their own privacy

How so?

>I am getting tired of receiving another 12 months of free credit monitoring every time my data is breached.

This is prevented by improving privacy, not destroying more of it, as the author advocates for.

So it seems they lost the trademark on "tweet" but not "Twitter".

>There are no ads on Tweet today. Tweet is funded by its members. If that ever changes, members will hear it from us first.

This means literally nothing.

What's the downsides with using Cloudflare domains?

>Likewise, using privacy messengers like Signal is also useless if they can just take control of your entire device anytime they want.

Totally not useless. It costs a lot more to pay a spyware firm then to have an employee send an email / ask a judge (like that's even necessary).

I feel quite confident of my messages privacy on my Pixel with GrapheneOS given most people I message are on iPhones which are second in security to Pixels running GrapheneOS. Not to mention my threat model doesn't include mercenary spyware, as most people's doesn't.

I can't use critical software that rejects AI to this degree for privacy reasons.

You can't expect to sufficiently protect your users privacy when not using AI for finding vulnerabilities.

Same thing with Asahi Linux with their highly anti-AI stance. I had a bit of hope when I saw someone was making an LLM assisted fork but it's not the same support.

While MacOS is likely becoming much more secure, Linux distros that reject AI would fall even further behind, if that's possible.

Edit: added critical

It is uncharacteristic of their other posts writing style and GPTZero does detect it as partially AI (I can't be bothered to sign in to Pangram).

Perhaps prompted by human. A real bot would have posted more often recently.

Why do you think so? This would be quite the long con.

My bird so far:

>Caught 25 times · fed 4 times · 23 cities

For feedback, I'd say make it more obvious to feed. The icon is not obvious and you'd likely feed a lot more than flag.

It would be bad if people make bots to spam non human birds even if they could be prevented from being straight up bad, even good seeming birds that aren't human would be a drag. I imagine text based would be hard due to the extremely short nature. And obviously we don't want to compromise anonymity.

I really like the general site UI.

The birds you feed kinda pile up in a long list. I feel like it makes them insignificant. Perhaps embrace ephemerality? Idk how to solve this.

open source?

reply to birds? Birds could have comments. No privacy, but anonymity.

i don't understand the manual send away button.

Clean AI/translator text content from website.

Do birds stop eventually? I assume so. Maybe a button to send one back out there from your fed list.

It's fixed now. It wasn't affecting people's profile pages but everything else.

JMP is a real carrier number so it should work better for 2fa than VoIP numbers.

I haven't used it yet, but I'm switching to it once my current plan runs out. There's plenty of options for data.

This is his last article I think. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41157974

Yeah, phone numbers are essentially KYC. I use a phone number verification site, but I can't recommend them because they stopped accepting Monero recently.

For long term numbers I would use jmp.chat.

Sure, it's bad Google is anti-privacy and they're trying to stop you making an anonymous account, but that is their business model.

You're much better off using and supporting privacy focused services [1] instead of trying to make Google private. I do not have any Google accounts I depend on–I deleted all of them that I'd used personally, and now I only have attempts at anonymous accounts.

I wouldn't rely on them even if I wasn't constantly getting banned because they have no customer support, no E2EE, they scan your photos, it's insanity.

It's art.

He still has five hundred forty-one paid members on Patreon. And his last article was in twenty twenty-four. Then I don't think AI was good enough at that point to make these, and it still doesn't make them as good as him.

I've seen a lot more of these types of visualizations pop up in blogs recently but they don't feel as high quality as the ones on this site.

Motorola uses pantone colors but I think the color is the least of their issues: https://m.gsmarena.com/motorola_signature_27_5g-14955.php

It turns out after a second of searching it's not really about that. What it is about I do not know how it helps the phone.
