OpenAI Says It Has Evidence DeepSeek Used Its Model To Train Competitor
OpenAI says it has evidence suggesting Chinese AI startup DeepSeek used its proprietary models to train a competing open-source system through “distillation,” a technique where smaller models learn from larger ones’ outputs.

The San Francisco-based company, along with partner Microsoft, blocked suspected DeepSeek accounts from accessing … ⌘ Read more

Heute war ich mit dem Ziehkind in der Stadt unterwegs.
Mitten beim Eisschlecken fährt die Polizei in einem zivilen Wagen quer durch die Fußgängerzone. An der Bank am Markt dann weitere Uniformierte und kein Einlass für Kunden.
Da mussten wir uns in der Stadtbibliothek erst einmal Material zu dem Thema besorgen.

A random suggestion. You should add a password to your private ssh key. Why? If someone steals your key, they won’t be able to do anything without the password.
You should run: ssh-keygen -p
And remember to make a backup copy of key file. As a developer, it is a one of the most valuable files on your computer.

In-reply-to » @arne Uuuuhhh, das fühlt sich klasse an, gute Arbeit mein Lieber! :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Danke! Ja, es gibt noch unzählige Stellschrauben an dem Ding. Deine Anmerkungen werde ich einarbeiten. Eine mobile Ansicht wär auch noch schön. Derzeit sitzt es auf dem Smartphone doch noch recht stramm.

@Unterhaltungen: Die von gestern zu verschlüsselten Nachrichten war ausschlaggebend für die Umsetzung. In “Timeline” und “Yarn” haben mich die Lösungsansätze bisher nicht überzeugt. Aber wir können ja alle etwas von einander lernen.

Die Bastelei am TxtwtReader geht gut voran. Neben diversen Filtern und Ansichten werden Unterhaltungen nun schön strukturiert angezeigt. Jetzt müsste ich mich auch mal um das Verfassen von Einträgen kümmern. Wenn ich mit dem Projekt zufrieden bin, lasse ich es vielleicht auch auf die Welt los. #OpenSource

LECK MICH FETT!
Das Küchenradio (Sagem - My Dual Radio 700) gibt wieder Töne von sich! Der XML-Parser von dem Ding ist sowas von hinüber. Die “Fertiglösungen” YCast und YTuner haben ein zu ordentliches XML erstellt. Per Trial and Error habe ich dann die Formatierung gefunden, die die olle Kiste braucht. 🥳

In-reply-to » It's ok for most encrypted protocols (In salty you can fetch other messages but can't decrypt). Btw i think recipient can be removed so if someone seen message they tried to decypt, if can't - its not message to you

It is not possible to remove it, otherwise you do not know that the message is for you. With that information you can’t decrypt.

In-reply-to » I want to share a little idea for a new extension with the goal of adding direct messages in #twtxt https://github.com/tanrax/twtxt-direct-message-extension

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org First, please leave me your comments on the repository! Even if it’s just to give your opinion on what shouldn’t be included. The more variety, the better.

Second, I’m going to try to do tests with Elliptic keys and base64. Thanks for the advice @eapl@eapl.me

Finally, I’d like to give my opinion. Secure direct messages are a feature that ActivityPub and Mastodon don’t have, to give an example. By including it as an extension, we’re already taking a significant leap forward from the competition. Does it make sense to include it in a public feed? In fact, we’re already doing that. When we reply to a user, mentioning them at the beginning of the message, it’s already a direct message. The message is within a thread, perhaps breaking the conversation. Direct messages would help isolate conversations between 2 users, as well as keeping a thread cleaner and maintaining privacy. I insist, it’s optional, it doesn’t break compatibility with any client and implementing it isn’t complex. If you don’t like it, you’re free to not use it. If you don’t have a public key, no one can send you direct messages.

In-reply-to » I haven't read the entire specification, but I think there is a fundamental design problem. Why would someone put an encrypted message on a public feed that is completely useless to everybody other than the one recipient? This doesn't make sense to me. It of course depends on the threat model, but wouldn't one also want to minimize the publicly visible metadata (who is communicating with whom and when) when privately messaging? I feel there are better ways to accomplish this. Sorry, if I miss the obvious use case, please let me know. :-)

another one would be to allow changing public keys over time (as it may be a good practice [0]). A syntax like the following could help to know what public key you used to encrypt the message, and which private key the client should use to decrypt it:

!<nick url> <encrypted_message> <public_key_hash_7_chars>

Also I’d remove support for storing the message as hex, only allowing base64 (more compact, aiming for a minimalistic spec, etc.)

interesting idea. I’m not personally interested on having DM conversations on twtxt (for now), although I see the community could be interested in.

I’d suggest to enable the Discussion section in your Github repo to receive comments, as we did for timeline https://github.com/sorenpeter/timeline/discussions
