WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/38164/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Montaigne</a><blockquote>We readily inquire, “Does he know Greek or Latin?” “Can he write poetry and prose?” But what matters most is what we put last: “Has he become better and wiser?” We ought to find out not who understands most but who understands best. We work merely to fill the memory, leaving the understanding and the sense of right and wrong empty.   [Nous enquerons volontiers, Sçait-il du Grec ou du Latin ? escrit-il en vers ou en prose ? mais, s’il est devenu meilleur ou plus advisé, c’estoit le principal, & c’est ce qui demeure derriere. Il falloit s’enquerir qui est mieux sçavant, non qui est plus sçavant. Nous ne travaillons qu’à remplir la memoire, & laissons l’entendement & la conscience vuide.]</blockquote>Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist Essay (yyyy), “Of Pedantry[Du pedantisme] (1572-1578), Essays, Book 1, ch. 24 (1.24) (1595) [tr.

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/feather-william/1479/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from William Feather</a><blockquote>An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t. It’s knowing where to go to find out what you need to know, and it’s knowing how to use the information once you get it.</blockquote>William Feather (1889-1981) American publisher, author (Attributed) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/feather-william/1479/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/feather-william/1479…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=application" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#application</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=competence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#competence</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ignorance</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knowledge</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=memorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memorization</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"To prevent AI models from memorizing their input, we know exactly one robust method: differential privacy (DP). But crucially, DP requires you to precisely define what you want to protect. For example, to protect individual people, you must know which piece of data comes from which person in your dataset. If you have a dataset with identifiers, that's easy. If you want to use a humongous pile of data crawled from the open Web, that's not just hard: that's fundamentally impossible.In practice, this means that for massive AI models, you can't really protect the massive pile of training data. This probably doesn't matter to you: chances are, you can't afford to train one from scratch anyway. But you may want to use sensitive data to fine-tune them, so they can perform better on some task. There, you may be able to use DP to mitigate the memorization risks on your sensitive data.This still requires you to be OK with the inherent risk of the off-the-shelf LLMs, whose privacy and compliance story boils down to "everyone else is doing it, so it's probably fine?".To avoid this last problem, and get robust protection, and probably get better results… Why not train a reasonably-sized model entirely on data that you fully understand instead?"<a href="https://desfontain.es/blog/privacy-in-ai.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://desfontain.es/blog/privacy-in-ai.html</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLMs</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLMs</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DifferentialPrivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DifferentialPrivacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Memorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Memorization</a>

Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ESSo, I got a card from a bank to be able to use the money I have stored there. So far, so good.However, the card comes with a pin.They tell you to memorize the pin and to destroy the piece of paper on which it came.What bloody world are they living in??? One where Santa, Orcs, and Wizards are real?How the fuck am I going to memorize this pin, on top of all the *other* pins I'm supposed to memorize.I ask how I can change it.They told me it cannot be changed. :headache: :why: Okay, okay. I'm just going to fucking ignore the bank's stupid security recommendations. No, I'm not writing it down. I have my system, but good grief. Wouldn't it be nice if they joined us, you know, in reality instead of living in a fantasy world?:holdthepain: <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/banking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#banking</a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/pin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pin</a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/memorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memorization</a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#security</a>

Bartosz BudzyńskiBest advice for remembering how to use "tar"? Think in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice – "extract ze files" for extraction ("-ezf"), "compress ze files" for compression ("-czf"). For extraction in current directory, think "extract ze vucking files" ("-xzvf"). ;)<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/arnold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arnold</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accent</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/memorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memorization</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/terminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terminal</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/command" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#command</a>
