  • Steadily improving. I set up my webserver with ech which is the next step, hiding even the domain. A solid chunk of the internet uses cloudflare as an intermediary, which also has ech and only leaves “someone connected to some cloudflare page at this time for that amount of data”.

    As more places roll out deep package inspection, I’m sure in due time more randomization for package sizes will follow, making even the amount of data uncertain.

    Most web metadata is at the http layer anyway and has always been hidden by https.


  • The UK is believed to hold more than £25 billion of Russian financial assets that were seized after the invasion of Ukraine […]
    Belgium holds €190 billion (£165 billion) worth of assets in Euroclear, the Brussels-based central securities depository, and France holds €19 billion (£16 billion).

    […] under a plan being worked up by EU and G7 leaders, countries would issue up to €172 billion (£149 billion) in loans to Ukraine by swapping Russian cash linked to the immobilised assets for zero-interest bonds. Ukraine would have to pay back the loan only if Moscow paid war reparations, which is considered unlikely.

    Instead of directly transferring the assets, they are using them as collateral for loans to strip the legal risk. The result should be indistinguishable as long as russia is eventually sentenced to pay reparations.





  • Yeah, I would expect it to be hard, similar to asking an llm to substitiute all letters e with an a. Which I’m sure they struggle with but manage to perform it too.

    In this context though it’s a bit misleading explaining the observed behavior of op with that though, since it implies it is due to that fundamental nature of llms when in practice all models I have tested fundamentally had the ability.

    It does seem that llms simply don’t use double spaces (or I have not noticed them doing it anywhere yet), but if you trained or just systemprompted them differently they could easily start to. So it isn’t a very stable method for non-ai identification.

    Edit: And of course you’d have to make sure the interfaces also don’t strip double spaces, as was guessed elsewhere. I have not checked other interfaces but would not be surprised either way whether they did or did not. This too thought can’t be overly hard to fix with a few select character conversions even in the worst cases. And clearly at least my interface already managed to do it just fine.



  • This seems to match up with some quick tests I did just now, on the pseudonyminized chatbot interface of duckduckgo.
    chatgpt, llama, and claude all managed to use double spaces themselves, and all but llama managed to tell I was using them too.
    It might well depend on the platform, with the “native” applications for them stripping them on both ends.

    tests

    Mistral seems a bit confused and uses tripple-spaces.





  • That’s untrue. Someone made a modified client that sent message info towards other servers completely independently of signal. That part was compromised.
    It’s like calling aignal compromised because someones phone was hacked.

    Signal can’t protect you from users being an idiot and essentially showing their chat histories to other people over the internet.

    They also say

    meaning they cannot be read by a third party

    which equally isn’t true.

    If your password is guessable with trillions of attempts, and whatever information and time an attacker wants, then of course can they crack your hash, “read” your password, and try it on other services.

    Sadly the kind of password susceptible to being broken on account of not being strong enough is also the kind people use everywhere because they memorize it. A truly strong password will only be found in a password manager.
