I think the current Register title is a little more informative (and cheeky, which is common from their reporting):

Show us your face: New Orleans PD reportedly got secret facial recognition alerts

If you subtract a negative, you do end up with more value…

Mattermost recommends Microsoft Windows’ BitLocker for encryption. It does not have E2EE

any server that (openly or secretly) keeps chat history can ignore requests to delete it

Twice as true for any client!

The best thing a server can do is simply be a temporary relay before messages get to those clients. And the messages themselves should be undecipherable. (I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but for those who don’t know, that’s how apps like Signal work.)

I thought this project was dead and gone years ago. The worst ideas never really die.

The judge was so moved by a call for forgiveness that he increased the recommended sentence… Or if that’s not the case, that’s some poor writing in the article

An AI version of Christopher Pelkey appeared in an eerily realistic video to forgive his killer… “In another life, we probably could’ve been friends. I believe in forgiveness, and a God who forgives.”

The message was well-received by Judge Todd Lang, who told the courtroom, “I love that AI."

While the state asked for a nine-and-a-half year sentence, the judge handed Horcasitas a 10-and-a-half year sentence after being so moved by the video.

2021: “Facebook’s internal research found its Instagram platform contributes to eating disorders and suicidal thoughts in teenage girls, whistleblower says”

(Whistleblower is correct.)

Muhlheim, the finance chief for the organization’s for-profit arm — which in turn helps fund the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation.

I’m looking and not finding

But Plohman (via the last link) is. According to this (PDF warning), that’s $415,519 total.

On the for-profit side, who knows! It’s anybody’s guess.

Thank you for letting me know! I can’t believe I assumed it did for so long. I guess it’s not a deal breaker for OP, but it is for me.

I don’t trust myself to handle secure encryption. Nextcloud has given up on providing client-side encryption at all… So the obvious choice for me is Immich.

Although since I’ve fallen for Ente, I’d probably use that instead.

Unfortunately, Nextcloud has given me so much pain in my attempt to make it E2E that I’ve basically given up on using it at all. For stuff that’s not images or passwords or notes - which is a fleetingly small list of things - I tend to use either Filen or Proton’s services.

Israel is a useful state to strengthen the American grip abroad (it carries out American interests without an American label) plus it’s the perfect testing grounds for unethical surveillance (and worse) on the people both within and outside its borders

I’m sorry, I forget that these articles (which are fully accessible to me thanks to “registration” and IIRC browser cookies) are not necessarily visible elsewhere. There’s a helper bot in another community, I wonder if it’ll work here too

This article wasn’t posted by Hotznplotzn, so I knew Russia and China weren’t behind it

You still need to do some GitHub navigating, but you should be able to pull this off by using a Mozilla Corp project.

1. Download the latest giant file on the release page:
   https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/releases/latest
2. As recommended, rename the file extension to “.exe”
3. Just double click and the instructions say if it works, it’ll open a browser.

I can’t see the image, but if you are using a Samsung device, you have to re-enable notification categories (because for some reason Samsungs just disable this option and hide away the ability to return it).

It’s at the bottom of Settings > Advanced Settings

That looks like a really interesting project, but the scope appears to be outside of what I was looking for. I think people here are looking for something more like Google Photos or Ente, something that operates more like a gallery app with extra features on top.

It’s a bit unfortunate that there are options for tagging photos automatically and even on-device (Ente is a third, which will run on your local phone or any synced device, propagating data across other devices)… But nothing that runs exclusively on-device without syncing.

There’s no apparent reason an app couldn’t do the tagging on-device to device-exclusive photos.

From my own fractured understanding, this is indeed true, but the “DeepSeek” everybody is excited about, which performs as well as OpenAI’s best products but faster, is a prebuilt flagship model called R1. (Benchmarks here.)

The training data will never see the light of day. It would be an archive of every ebook under the sun, every scraped website, just copyright infringement as far as the eye can see. That would be the source they would have to release to be open source, and I doubt they would.

But DeepSeek does have the code for “distilling” other companies’ more complex models into something smaller and faster (and a bit worse) - but, of course, the input models are themselves not open source, because those models (like Facebook’s restrictive Llama model) were also trained on stolen data. (I’ve downloaded a couple of these distillations just to mess around with them. It feels like having a dumber, slower ChatGPT in a terminal.)

Theoretically, you could train a model using DeepSeek’s open source code and ethically sourced input data, but that would be quite the task. Most people just add an extra layer of training data and call it a day. Here’s one such example (I hate it.) I can’t even imagine how much data you would have to create yourself in order to train one of these things from scratch. George RR Martin himself probably couldn’t train an AI to speak in a comprehensible manner by feeding it his life’s work.
