Private Memorization Editing: Turning Memorization into a Defense to Strengthen Data Privacy in Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) memorize, and thus, among huge amounts of uncontrolled data, may memorize Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which should not be stored and, consequently, not leaked. In this paper, we introduce Private Memorization Editing (PME), an approach for preventing private data leakage that turns an apparent limitation, that is, the LLMs' memorization ability, into a powerful privacy defense strategy. While attacks against LLMs have been performed exploiting previou…

Some thoughts:
- While the "mini" part of minirack might be debatable for this build, the footprint of my Proxmox cluster has become miniscule when compared to the size of three full-sized ATX builds.
- The Minisforum MS-A2s are very warm bois. Keeping the cables clear from behind the server nodes will pay off tons later as the hot air is unobstructed.
- Putting those massive power bricks into the bottom of the minirack is not going to work. I'm not sure exactl…

"Central to the hearing was the Department of Justice’s argument that the president’s determination of a “rebellion” or “danger of rebellion” is not subject to judicial review. Breyer appeared skeptical of that claim."That’s the difference between a Constitutional government and King George,” the judge said."

Eh, final home for the time being. Once the second nameserver finishes updating I can get the cables managed a bit better. Either way, officially done.

Die Antwort auf eine E-Mail meinerseits mit der Bitte, mich aus einem bestimmten E-Mail-Austausch rauszunehmen, sollte besser nicht mit "nur, um es noch einmal klarzustellen" beginnen.

Ideals generated by corner-interval minors
In this article, we study binomial ideals generated by an arbitrary collection of corner-interval $2$-minors of a generic matrix. We determine the minimal prime ideals of such ideals and characterize their radicality in the special case of corner minors. Moreover, we discuss connectivity properties of contingency tables in algebraic statistics. We compute the Hilbert-Poincaré polynomial of the ideal generated by the set of all corner-interval minors and we derive the formula for the regularity…

Personal Memories of 50 Years of Quarkonia
The world of particle physics was revolutionised in November 1974 by the discovery of the J/psi particle, the first particle to be identified as a quarkonium state composed of charm quarks and antiquarks. The charmonium interpretation of the J/psi was cemented by the subsequent observations of a spectrum of related c \bar c states, and finally by the discovery of charmed particles in 1976. The discovery of charmonium was followed in 1977 by the discovery of bottomonium mesons and particles cont…

Networking is finished, and every port on the QNAP switch is in use along with every port on each MS-A2. Also tracked down an `interfaces` file typo. The next step is cleaning up the "server room" and getting this situated.
#homelab #minirack

All three nodes are installed. The "server room" is an absolute mess, but figured I'd snap a picture of the back of the minirack. I'll be cleaning up tomorrow, but for now: we are 100% back online here. Migrations work, iSCSI works...well, everything works. Very happy with how this has turned out thus far.
#minirack

Power bricks fit perfectly in the bottom of the minirack. Might have to run a fan or two in the bottom, but we'll see how things turn out there.
