tonygiorgio commented on Privacy Pass Authentication for Kagi Search   blog.kagi.com/kagi-privac... · Posted by u/b3n

This is sick, fantastic work.

I have built blind signature authentication stuff before (similar to privacy pass) and one thing I’m curious about is how you (will) handle multi device access?

I understand you probably launched with only unlimited search users in order to mitigate the same user losing access to their tokens on a different device. But any ideas for long term plans here? When I built these systems in the past, I always had to couple it with E2EE sync. Not only can that be a pain for end users, but you can also start to correlate storage updates with blind search requests.

Either case, this is amazing and I’m gonna be even more excited to not just trust Kagi, but verify that I don’t need to trust y’all. Congrats.

It advertises that it runs locally and that it is "extensible" but then requires you to set up a remote/external provider as the first step of installation? That's a rather weird use of "local" and "extensible". Do words mean anything anymore?

Can’t you just run ollama and provide it a localhost endpoint? I dont think its within scope to reproduce the whole local LLM stack when anyone wanting to do this today can easily use existing better tools to solve that part of it.

And that's why you run models locally. Or if you want a remote chat model, use something stateless like AWS Bedrock custom model import to avoid having stored chats on the server.

You could also use models that run on nvidia’s trusted execution environment.

That's not how US capital gains tax law works. It's legal to sell something at below market value, but you have to use the fair market value when calculating a loss for tax purposes. Of course some people cheat.

Should be easy to determine when a 409a evaluation was done.

I was a paying pro user for a <1000 person server years ago.

They forced me off of it due to offerings they were no longer servicing. Told me I had to self host and export all my data. I attempted this and it never worked. I abandoned that server and my profile I used across many matrix instances (and somehow my matrix room continued to run without me hosting it, and without an admin running it).

I will never use nor recommend them ever again. They clearly do not know how to operate a business nor an open source project.

I didn't actually realize that AWS supported this, I thought Azure was the only one offering it (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-confidential-co...)

Are you speaking of this functionality? https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/confidential-computing-on-... (and am I just failing to find the relevant AWS docs?)

tonygiorgio · a year ago
Yes, you're correct on both, though I think Google Cloud recently started supporting it as well. AWS will likely have GPU enclave support with Trainium 2 soon (AFAIK, that feature is not publicly offered yet but could be wrong).

We work with Edgeless Systems who manages the GPU enclave on Azure that we speak to from our AWS Nitro instance. While not ideal, the power of enclaves and the attestation verification process, we at least know that we're not leaking privacy by going with a third party GPU enclave provider.

> Although PCC is currently unique to Apple, we can hope that other privacy-focused services will soon crib the idea.

IMHO, Apple's PCC is a step in the right direction in terms of general AI privacy nightmares where they are at today. It's not a perfect system, since it's not fully transparent and auditable, and I do not like their new opt-out photo scanning feature running on PCC, but there really is a lot to be inspired by it.

My startup is going down this path ourselves, building on top of AWS Nitro and Nvidia Confidential Compute to provide end to end encryption from the AI user to the model running on the enclave side of an H100. It's not very widely known that you can do this with H100s but I really want to see this more in the next few years.

Austin has bennu coffee places which open 24 hrs, and taco shops that open 24 hrs too.

TIL, one near me too. Are they pretty open to late night working/studying or more of a social hangout at nights?

Confidential Computing is a way in which cloud providers let their customers encrypt data “in-use” - that might be what you’re looking for.
tonygiorgio · a year ago
Yeah exactly this. Especially if you need to programmatically process that data too. You can even let the customers provide their own managed key too (such as AWS externally managed KMS) in combination with something like AWS nitro enclaves.

I’ve enjoyed building on nitro myself and most things should run in it just fine, just need to build the networking vsock proxy into the nitro image for anything that needs networking (such as DB, where you store the encrypted at rest data).
