I caught Google Gemini using my data–and then covering it up
I caught Google Gemini using my data—and then covering it up | unbuffered_stream 18 Nov, 2025 I asked Google Gemini a pretty basic developer question. The answer was unremarkable, apart from it mentioning in conclusion that it knows I previously used a tool called Alembic: Cool, it’s starting to remember things about me. Let’s confirm: […]

The relationship, he suggested, is more than one of background and foreground. Radio and television […]
Ask HN: How are Markov chains so different from tiny LLMs?
I polished a Markov chain generator and trained it on an article by Uri Alon and al (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7963340/). It generates text that seems to me at least on par with tiny LLMs, such as demonstrated by NanoGPT. Here is an example: jplr@mypass:~/Documenti/2025/SimpleModels/v3_very_good$ ./SLM10b_train UriAlon.txt 3 Training model with order 3… Skip-gram detection: DISABLED (order < […]
Almost all Collatz orbits attain almost bounded values
Define the Collatz map Col on the natural numbers by setting Col(n) to equal 3n+1 when n is odd and n/2 when n is even. The notorious Collatz conjecture asserts that all orbits of this map eventually attain the value 1. This remains open, even if one is willing to work with almost all orbits […]
