Great work!
I am confused though. I had a solution that satisfied all constrains but was still wrong. Am I missing something?

I’m not sure if there are implementations for browsers, but look into embeddings with homomorphic encryption.

What are people’s opinions on Obsidian over Logseq?
Ask HN: LLM User Input Privacy?
Hey folks, I'm trying to figure out how to keep things private when using LLMs. Specifically, is there any work being done on ensuring that middle-men (services using the OpenAI GPT APIs) cannot peek at users’ inputs? Of course, this is assuming the end users trusts OpenAI with their inputs.I'm really keen to hear your thoughts, ideas, and knowledge!
Re:Ask HN: Was Bard just someone's ticket to get promotion at Google?

I heard through an engineer friend how the notorious bureaucracy of Google is the reason for Bard’s failure. They can’t issue any improvements or do anything without taking it to the higher ups.

I’m sure your experience was true at some point, but in my most recent experience with taxis at JFK, I would never go back to ordering Ubers or Lyfts. There’s a long line of taxis waiting, so there’s never a need to wait for a driver. They all have ample space for luggage, something I’ve had trouble with when using ride-share apps before. They had a flat price to go into Manhattan—around $70 if i recall correctly, whereas an Uber or Lyft at that time was $100+ for an XL. Surge pricing goes crazy.
Re:Show HN: Marvin – build AI functions that use an LLM as a runtime

From their documentation: AI functions are not "executed" in a traditional sense, so they can't interact with your computer or network.
Re:Ask HN: Are there banks that store your balance only in cash?

But considering that a lot of costs could be removed by cutting out the lending aspect of the bank business, wouldn’t this % become significantly lower? I imagine a good chunk of a bank’s budget is spent on loan management, risk assessment, marketing, etc.
Ask HN: Are there banks that store your balance only in cash?
Perhaps it could be my lack of understanding of the financial world, but are there (or why aren’t there any) banks that simply store your balance in cash? My understanding is that banks invest the deposits of their customers to make a profit. However, why can’t they just charge a fee to sustain the bank’s operations while being a completely safe bank that wont fail if everyone decides to...
