<p>What does that have to do with incpa?<p>I send this server a question encrypted. It stays encrypted yet the server distinguished my ciphertext enough to produce a coherent reply. That means there was enough information in the ciphertext for the server to perform the inference, even if it was obscured to where it looks indistinguishable, it apparently wasn't.<p>This doesn't remove trust from the equation, it puts the trust directly on the algorithm. Probably one no one can explain to me like I'm 5. But because it's <i>encrypted</i> I am no longer breaking the law by processing on protected data. I imagine very large contracts await on the other side. Lots of money to be made.</p>

<p>>They didn’t say that it “appears” indistinguishable from noise, but that it is indistinguishable.<p>That's the oxymoron. If it was indistinguishable nothing could be gained.<p>It's not about <i>me</i> being able to distinguish it. It's the model provider saying they cant, when they can.</p>

<p>How can it possibly pass indcpa. If the model can give me any valuable information about the cipher. Apparently the middle man would know <i>precisely</i> what is contained in the payload.</p>

<p>Proper encryption means the ciphertext is indistinguishable from noise. So...in order to be able to process on it, you have to make it not indistinguishable from noise.<p>So I take offense to the term FHE. It's a oxymoron.<p>The whole thing immidiatly stands out as a sham to build trust where it's gone.</p>

<p>Yes, there is a reasonable expectation of privacy while driving on public roads.<p>The expectation has been completely eroded by flock safety.</p>

<p>It hasn't been articulated in court. But what flock has essentially done is created a GPS system without satilites.<p>See Jones vs USA.<p>Sufficiently saturated ALPRs across the country give you the same capability of GPS. Without GPS.</p>

<p>Clearly a different situation considering the guy was in a rental vehical with GPS.<p>Of course their is no reasonable expectation of privacy here. It's not his car lol. The LEARN db query was auxillary to the precedent here.<p>I can't see the jump your making at all or how this precedent holds any would hold water in the case of a innocent party. Its probably just a matter of time until the perfect case is presented and new case law established. Precedents change you know?</p>

<p>>If the city hires enough police officers, yes. It'd almost certainly require an unfathomably large budget, but it's not impossible.<p>If the precedent was set based on this idea. It will fall apart with further scrutiny.<p>>I really don't understand how people got this idea in their head that their license plates are private information . How do red light cameras identify cars? How does parking enforcement work? By recording people's license plates. The whole reason why we mandate that cars display license plates to is to facilitate identifying vehicles.<p>I don't think that is where the crux of the issue lay.</p>

<p>>A cop and stand at an intersection and write down license plate numbers without a warrant.<p>I dont believe you think the police force could replicate the injest of information these systems allow do you?</p>

<p>Manual D, the flock system is still very new. Why are you confident a private companies monetization of public whereabouts will stay legal? There hasent really been any precedent set on this. And the system is wildly unpopular In the public eye?</p>

<p>Took awhile to read. My general takeaway is it's so amazing our drive to make things more efficient. We never slow down do we. Kinda hoping we hit a hard boundary of physics to be honest.<p>I didn't dive into the reference on why the guy thought our slow data processing is an advantage, but it does seem well tuned that we don't think like these models.<p>We would go mad and nothing would make sense.<p>Reminds me of the fun fact about the distance of the sun to the earth. Oddly tuned for our existence. Or when the anesthesiologists knocks out gamma waves and we skip through time in an instant. Why do the gamma waves operate like our lightswitch?<p>Anyways, since the start of the paper was sure I might use AI to summarize, here is AI's summary response using the personality of fry from futurerama.<p><a href="https://postimg.cc/fJR1ZHfG" rel="nofollow">https://postimg.cc/fJR1ZHfG</a></p>

<p>I have a hunch that amazon links do track somehow based on timing. Does anybody do that?<p>There are so many products on amazon sharing a link to one specific product and having someone else open it shortly after sounds like a high enough confidence.<p>Again just a hunch.</p>
