Qwen 3.5 can be run via ollama

Qwen 3.5 is one of the best of the open-weight (self-host able) models right now. It’s not as good as some of the extra massive proprietary models like the bigger Claude models.

Signal already has that setting. It’s up to the user to decide their level of convenience vs security.

data security in that case had nothing to do with the llm

That’s kinda my point.

“I don’t trust companies to hold their promises” is a very different argument from:

LLMs are inherently bad at data security and there is no way these companies can, in good faith, promise HIPPA compliance

It is certainly possible to implement a secure LLM service.

Phone, wallet, keys, and headphones

This is about extracting data that was used as training data. Just don’t do that with sensitive data.

LLMs are inherently bad at data security and there is no way these companies can, in good faith, promise HIPPA compliance

This is simply false. AI sucks but it doesn’t help to lie about it.

EDIT:

Go run a local model on your own computer, and delete the context when you are done. Boom you just used an LLM in a way that maintains your data security.

That fake moon landing movie might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen

Natural disaster -> no longer can access everything you have online, including bank and insurance accounts, at precisely the time you most don’t want to deal with that.

If a student shoots up a school and then tries to hide with the other kids, and the kids point him out to the police, are they doxxing the shooter?

No.

Law enforcement should act, and if they don’t, we should put pressure on law enforcement using the democratic tools at our disposal.

Absolutely!

Doxxing is sharing information that can facilitate vigilante justice.

Based on that article, I’m confused because I thought getting too many speeding tickets in a short time would lead to bigger consequences up to losing your license. I don’t understand how someone could get hundreds of tickets in a year. Does New York just have very lax speeding ticket laws compared to other states?

Also the full article includes even more identifiable information, such as the actual license plates.

And this example doesn’t even include any identifiable info, just the make/model/year/color of a car.

Make/model/year/color/frequent locations of a car are absolutely enough identifiable info to stalk someone.

Should people expect to break laws and endanger their neighbors, in public, and we’re all supposed to… pretend we don’t see them? What’s your definition here?

And what’s your suggestion? What do you think people should/could/might do with enough information to stalk someone that someone online said is breaking the law with no more evidence than “I said so”?

So… What *is* your definition of doxxing?

Giving everyone online enough information to stalk and harass someone, especially when it comes along with a motive to do so.

It’s the same price and similar specs to current Chromebook models, which is what I think they are trying to compete against.

This is doxing and isn’t ok even if you don’t like what they are doing.

Not exactly “misheard”, but the lyrics to the Minecraft parody of “Dynamite” stuck more strongly in my head than the original.

You can’t turn pure heat into useful energy. Thermoelectric generators tap into the transfer of heat between a hot reservoir and a cold reservoir.

Literally everything you mentioned has at least had its ban discussed, and most of those have been banned or at least restricted in some part of the world.

I think a 1% chance of permanent health effects manifesting years later is already plenty to get something banned.

DDG works 90% of the time but it does perform worse than Google sometimes

My locally hosted Qwen3 30b said “Walk” including this awesome line:

Why you might hesitate (and why it’s wrong):

• X “But it’s a car wash!” -> No, the car doesn’t need to drive there—you do.

Note that I just asked the Ollama app, I didn’t alter or remove the default system prompt nor did I force it to answer in a specific format like in the article.

EDIT: after playing with it a bit more, qwen3:30b sometimes gives the correct answer for the correct reasoning, but it’s pretty rare and nothing I’ve tried has made it more consistent.
