it doesn't. you're misunderstanding the pieces in play here

there's:

you

claude

other company

this CORS change lets other company use your key to access claude, so you pay to use Claude instead of having to create an account with other company so they can pay Claude.

that change doesn't let coffee shop or other MitM see your Claude key
the same argument applies to browser history, password managers and lots like them. Yes, they make it easier for an attacker to scoop up info (a central place with lots of juicy info), but they also make your life so much better overall.

Most people use them, some heavy privacy/security oriented people don't. Even many of those of us who are conscious about the security/privacy issues, use them because we find their use outweighs the risk.

I can't answer what will happen with a recall type feature, but one has to weigh the value vs risk.

Personally, I'm not sure of the significant value (then again, in being really analytical, I'm now unsure of the significant value of the browser history). How often is one going to dig into recall recorded state.

This same logic applies to browser history, how often does on really look at it? It provides 2 forms of value, 1) showing what you already clicked (i.e. a constant low level value) and 2) being able to find URLs you know you saw, but can't seem to find at the moment (a higher value, but much rarer, similar to recall value). Are these valuable enough?

I'm wondering out loud if the first value (of showing links you already visited) could be solved in a more privacy friendly manner of a 1 way hash of url with salt. Store the hashed URLs instead of a the URL string itself. Even if an attacker vacuums up your "history database", all they get is a bunch of hashes. Even if they get the salt, they would have to hash their entire dictionary of URLs against the salt. (A counter argument is that the set of URLs in the dictionary they would want to hash against to blackmail you, might not be "so big" and hence tractable, so this doesn't gain you much).
To be fair to Microsoft, running that AI stuff on a standard GPU sucks down power like crazy. Laptops without NPUs would lose a stupid amount if battery life if they enabled AI features like these.

Nobody is using the AI components on these devices yet, but I've heard plenty of stories from developers with MacBooks about how nice it is to have NPU acceleration for whatever models they're running. I've got Jetbrains' offline AI code suggestions enabled and I imagine widespread availability of NPUs would save a lot of random CPU usage spikes for that kind of workload.

General consumers probably don't get much out of AI (the models if any value are too big to run on these small client machines) but I can't say I'd hate a world where NPUs are cheap and abundant.

This creates a very special Dutch thing —- my neighborhood had the roads on the map before the map itself was updated to show landmass instead of the body of water.
Like "Hoover", "GPS" is now a generic term for positioning systems.
Off topic but this is a bizarrely weird take:

> Sadly because of the NIMBYs, this map doesn’t include a London version of The Sphere.

"NIMBY" implies they're objecting to something useful and not actually that bad, like a solar farm or a mobile phone mast or a housing estate. Not a giant advertising billboard.
i really don't see this being used in the enterprise environment. first off, employees without a need for an NPU probably wont be given one. its like who right now is giving out hardware to employees with sick graphics cards? i don't think anyone. There are much easier ways to spy on your workforce already, like deep traffic inspection.
We're not complaining about making papers more accessible, but about the clickbait and the resulting misrepresentation.

The whole discussion here is about the environment though.

In absolute, changing diet is not inherently hard : it's pretty easy to eat a balanced diet and get pleasure from it.

But it's not enough to just say "eat better", "do more sports" : people can't change the way the lived their whole life if you don't educate and help them to make the change. The education on this topic is so poor that we are still confusing balanced diet and low-calorie diet.

And then there is the elephant in the room which is the refined sugar : for some dubious reason, most scientists agree that refined sugar acts like a hard drug but nobody officially wants to call it a drug. Recent research are saying that the addictive effects of refined sugar are akin to heroin. That's a serious issue then. What it means is that a doctor asking his patient to eat less sugar / eat a balanced diet without further guidance or help is just like saying to an heroin addict that he should stop.

I'm relatively overweight and pretty self educated on the topic but I still decided to work with a nutritionist to change my diet and we are talking about months if not years of follow-up. Eating habits are largely automated by our biology : willpower and education are nothing against an hypoglycemia induced sugar craving.

Like drugs, most people need help and guidance on the long term to change those habits. But what's even worse is that unlike drugs, unhealthy products are basically everywhere in your supermarket, your TV ads, your billboards, your friends lifestyle, and even worse, profoundly ingrained in the culture. You have to fight the "drug" but also the whole capitalist world around you.
> Would open address data create privacy risks?
No. Unlike opening up more sensitive datasets such as personal location, releasing address data - a list of the physical places recognised by the government - carries few new legal or ethical risks. Many other countries are doing this, including those with strong privacy regimes. Open address data could only create new risks if it were linked and used with other datasets, and these risks should be managed in that context. The harms created by the lack of access to address data are more pressing.

A bit tangential, I had this revelation one day that data itself is really quite cumbersome to work with. More cumbersome the higher the quantity you have of it. And also, it is actually mostly merely a serialization of knowledge that is inherently extremely inefficient, since you often need to process a lot of it to reach a conclusion or find some information you are looking for.

It could in fact be stored much more succinctly and coherently in another representation, that is much easier to work with; in models.

Why? Because models, at least models like LLMs, and other agent like ones, allow you to ask your questions directly, and let the model produce a serialized answer (a very small amount of data) on demand, instead of you processing through endless amounts of it, trying to find your answer.

I wrote a short post about it earlier:

> So it's also "bring your own keys" but then how do you monetize at all?

Why do you need to monetize? The original comment you replied to talked about making something for the world and sharing it. They said they didn’t want to maintain it, they didn’t want to be obligated to care for it. You can’t make that choice if people are paying you (or at least shouldn’t…).

I don’t understand the BYOx use case for a monetized product. If you’re BYO api, you’re essentially missing the opportunity to monetize a spread on API requests. The more a customer uses your product (because it’s good), the more you’d make. That’s the best case scenario because it means everyone is finding value.
This is a long-running battle. Those with long memories may remember the skirmish 15 years ago, when a small group of developer-activists set up a website that allowed free access to postcode data (ernestmarples.com, named after the inventor of the modern British postcode system).

Needless to say, it was rapidly shut down following threats of legal action by Royal Mail.

I like this idea.

My first remark is VirtualStorage<T>. As I understand it, T is the type the library user can associate with the items (nodes, files) of the tree. I think this library can be made more useful with VirtualStorage<T, U> where U is a type you can associate with the directories of the tree.

VirtualStorage<T> is then equivalent with VirtualStorage<T, some-dummy-unit-type>. (If I'm not mistaken, F# allows unit where a type parameter is expected, but C# does not allow void.) The use case I have in mind has been mentioned in other comments as well: keep a representation of a file system in memory. For such use cases, you could then use VirtualStorage<System.IO.FileInfo, System.IO.DirectoryInfo>

But also in other use cases, associating information at the directory level might be very useful.

Going even further, maybe a third type might be associated with links as well?
> but the core idea of being able to see what happened a week/month ago and process it using LLMs looks really useful

By definition, it's not only you who can recall what happened a month ago, it's also the cops, burglars, your partners, your children... everyone with access to your machine now has access to everything you did.
We have the same in the Czech Republic (Registry of territorial identification, addresses and real estate; https://cuzk.gov.cz/ruian/RUIAN.aspx (sorry, Czech only)). I would even expect it to be the case in more EU countries, cf. the INSPIRE directive.
This is downright silly and wrong. Diamonds are not expensive because they're a cut above other gems, they're literally only expensive because of a monopoly that upholds artificial scarcity. Michelin star restaurants are expensive because they do culinary arts on the highest level. Diamonds are expensive only because one family owns all the mines.

Do I trust Microsoft, in its current/recent form, to implement this feature, including the ways it is likely to evolve?

No.

Even if it's built in a fully-local, privacy-first manner, I have no confidence it will stay that way.

Microsoft has shown itself again and again to prioritize turning Windows into an ad platform, over sound technical decisions.

Percent of adults age 20 and older with overweight, including obesity: 73.6%

this is a crisis.

at this point this is like going to a 3rd world country and telling them if you dont want all the problems that come with not having money to just get rich.

like its possible, my brother did it, most my family did it, we all have the capability to do it. it maybe harder for some due to physical limitations or mental ones. so why dont you? dont hate being poor and not getting all the women and luxuries?

74% is sick and its infectious. it curates mental problems that make it even harder to overcome. 74% means there are too many factors that are contributing to this epidemic. if modern technology is able to help get society on the right track i dont know why anyone should be.. for lack of a better word fat shamed haha.

of course we need to be careful and thoughtful. im not even sure though if it will be available for most people anytime soon. i hope so though, iv never been fat per say. maybe a bit more lbs then id like but i do understand how much it helps every part of your life being at a satisfying weight. this could be the greatest cure for depression through medicine ever imo.

i live in one of the fattest cities in america. when i go outside i swear to you sometimes i can go a day without seeing a single person of normal weight. besides the few homeless in my area.
Some context, for people not located in the UK - A full British postcode typically aims to cover around 15 buildings (sometime a single building, sometimes a street of 50 houses). This is in contrast to many other postal code systems which cover relatively broad areas).

Or to put it another way -

UK - 2,643,732 codes, 1 code per 25 people,

USA - 41,700 codes, 1 code per 8000 people,

Germany - 8,200 codes, 1 code per 10000 people,

This means that post-codes are often used as a proxy for an exact location - e.g. if I am going to visit a relative, I can enter their postcode into my sat-nav, and be confident that most of the time I'll get to within a hundred meters of their location.

This doesn't work so well in rural area or on large estates where the access point may different from the location, leading to places sometimes advertising a different postcode to put into your sat-nav (e.g. of where the site entrance is) to that of the location itself.

I'm pro-privacy and I highly feel this Recall system opens up a new attack/exploit vector in new unprecedented ways that I don't even want to begin to imagine. I mean, it reads your screen and recalls everything you've ever done..
Employers can already track every activity on an employees device if they wanted to.

If anything, I think employers are more likely to opt out of Recall because of security fears and cost of hardware rather than replace existing device management tools with this

You are the only one. It's mass surveillance and it's used to train their neural networks to be able to automate people out of their jobs.

No matter what 'guarantees' they offer, they're just an update and group policy setting away from removing them. Maybe they'll offer 'Recall Enterprise' for company owners, and normalize employers spying on their users while selling them the sales pitch of automating away their employees.

If it was a genuine value add, it would be a boxed product, possibly made by a third party, that people would pay money for.

Excellent question! This is the picture I'm getting so far:

* the observable weight loss seems real based on reports - that's easy to measure, and harder to fabricate like "blaming fats" conspiracies of the past. Unless there is truly massive numbers falsification in all these studies, which i doubt. So that's kind of exciting.

* stuff like this article about visceral fat might also be true, so that's also easy to get excited about, and might even be true.

Major downsides are transparent and predictable - this is not magic, or willpower replacement for health, because:

* if you keep eating garbage, you will still suffer health damage despite losing weight. If I eat nothing but twinkies for a year, and this pill makes me feel full after two twinkies a day, I will lose weight, I will also kill my liver and suffer severe malnutrition - you are right! A less extreme, average American food will also produce health damage while losing weight on this pill.

* if you live a bad lifestyle while on this pill, you will still lose weight, but will damage your health exposing yourself to things like diabetes, CVD, etc.

* the big unknown for me - curious about that - do people develop tolerance for this pill? and another big one, do they rebound violently (much worse than usual) once they stop taking it after a while? or not. This is easier to cover up and harder to measure.

* other more subtle things like is there a link to higher cancer risks over time, etc, but the first two "cons" points are big enough for me already.

TLDR: this is a way to look better and soften some effects of obesity, but does not help with continuing health damage that still needs to be addressed in a more traditional way unfortunately. Lack of skepticism is not because the massive downsides are unknown or absent, but because apparently they are less of a concern to users+marketers.

You think the chance that 5 people think $6 is a reasonable price is lower than one person thinking $30 is?
No, you are right - the orders are more and more taken via screens (not everywhere but almost).
But for some fast food places you can edit your order (BK, KFC if I remember well) and for those where you can't (McDonalds I think) I go to the counter with my command and say "no ice please" and it always worked.

> Maybe they'll offer 'Recall Enterprise' for company owners, and normalize employers spying on their users while selling them the sales pitch of automating away their employees.

That would be fine, as long as the employees are told ahead of time and is part of their employment contract (which i assume would be, because software such as crowdstrike already would be just as nominally intrusive).

As for non-enterprise windows users, this should be at best an opt-in feature. Otherwise, it would be a huge breach of privacy.
You are right few societal/cultural choices are irreversible, the case of South Africa being a case in point. They are just extremely rare to occur. I do think you miscategorise those that have misgivings. The US and Israel are very isolated currently.

The challenge for Israel is that there appears to be few limits on what they are prepared to do. Putting aside more recent examples, the decades long encouragement of settlements and displacement of the Arab population and accompanying violence is something I'm not sure how Israel reverses.

I'm not sure most, or even many, people see Israel as the root of all evil. Where does that perception come from? Unfortunately the actions Israel is involved in now most would classify as evil and deliberately so. Rightly, or wrongly they are perceived to have the backing of the majority of the population, which is what makes me think that Israel is not going to fully recover from this period, unless of course they can change course in a similar way to South Africa.
I've lived in a one bed apartment where the front and back doors had different postcodes.

How exactly would that be abused? Denmark have a website where you can enter any address, or an address close to where you want to be and then let you select the right house on a map. The same site will show you the owners, the purchase price the taxable value, size, number of bathrooms, stuff like that. I used it to find the address of a friend when I needed to ship him a present and I only roughly knew where he lives.
> IME a very very large number of impacting incidents arent strictly tied to “a” code change, if any at all

Usually this implies there are bigger problems. If something keeps breaking without any change (config / code) then it was likely always broken and just ignored.

So when companies do have most of the low hanging fruit resolved it's the changes that break things.

I've seen places where everything is duck taped together but BUT it still only breaks on code changes. Everyone learns to avoid stressing anything fragile.
You forget the other side of the equation: very rich people or "suckers" are ready to pay that much for it.
The "problems of data" are not really problems with data, I feel that's what Rich Hickey was alluding to in that discussion (and no, I didn't feel that him & Alan Kay were talking past each other)

> as a representation of something else, it can be incorrect (meaning error)

- So here, you're saying that "Knowledge" may be incorrect. "Sun observed at this position in the sky during various times of day" is data, whereas "Sun moves around the Earth" is (wrong) knowledge. Yes data can contain errors (e.g. incorrect measurements). But Rich Hickey was saying that the fact that data doesn't contain the "interpretation" too is a feature, not a bug!

> as a domain of decision input, it can be misleading (sampling error)

- Right. But at least, it gives you the tools to validate the decision process and identify errors, or potential weaknesses. If you include the interpreter with the data and give direct access to the decision - any error with the interpreter will automatically invalidate all the data (and really it will make it hard to tell whether it's a sampling error, interpretation error, or simply error in the original measurements)

> it gives agents the illusion that they understand, leading to overconfident actions

- On the contrary, KNOWLEDGE does that.
