Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) allows the calculation on encrypted data. Invented in 2009, it was traditionally too slow to be realistic for real use. With new innovations, it has now become possible to run in production.

This blogpost shows a practical application that uses AES encryption in FHE - yes, you are encrypting under encryption - to mask identifiers to enable datasharing.

Most of the finance and legal firms are still there. Guess tech companies also need lawyers and investment bankers.

Really great post, though a bit old, still relevant. Peter Norvig is one of the better thinkers of our generation.

Have to say that I confronted myself with the fact that I can't read longer posts anymore due to overuse of AI. Guess a detox is required...

let's hope for the best; though most people I talk to believe the DoJ is a ghost of its former self and it will take years to rebuild

very fair

what do you mean? most of those decompile projects were not even close the original software; for a driver, this would be completely different. i do believe there is some open-source drivers that are just not that good.

Pretty cool! Do wonder how this is different than running plain codex or claude code.

I think it is unlikely that this would be possible right now. The complexity of the driver and how it interplays with the hardware makes this really difficult. However wondering why you would need this as they are pretty good and free?

I'm a bit skeptical. This is just a single benchmark with an already capable (&closed-source) model. Would have been cooler if there was a more recent benchmark with an open-source model.

Schools have to choose between giving kids access to AI tooling (which has been proven to be terrible for education) or basic internet search.

I don't expect anything big to change just because there is one election. The entire judicial system is still very much MAGA.

It feels like we have overfitted on safety by a long mile. This is how labs that care less about safety (a.k.a. Chinese & Grok) will probably be able to catch up in the future.

Google has long forgotten their old motto: "Don't be evil", but this is a new extreme. Luckily we have things like Duckduckgo

I think calculator is not part of the labels in cifar-10. Pretty normal as it has ‘only’ 90% accuracy. Things could improve quickly though

Very cool to see practical applications of this technology!
