While we are on this subject, I have a plan to teach myself luatex and context via asking an AI large language model questions which it will be able to answer via having learnt by retrieval augmentation generation, cache augmentation generation or fine tuning. So far I have not begun experimenting with n8n on a local machine, but have plans to do so. My idea was to obfuscate all email addresses prior to sending chunks to a vector database for privacy purposes. I am a bit ignorant about data protection regulations. My question is should I obfuscate names as well? I could simply do this, but I would also like to have emails' metadata containing a rank, such as Hans as rank 1 to indicate that he is more knowledgeable than myself of rank 100. It would be a good thing to have some algorithm determine the rank rather than set it statically when extracting data from an mbox and associating a metadata rank with this data. But would that be in accordance with data protection regulations, and how do people feel about this? I mean if I later developed the prototype into an Android app, ideally ought I want it to reveal that such and such a question was answered 10 years ago by Fred who said blah? One technical approach would be to retain Fred's name in the vector database and to dynamically alter Fred's ranking depending upon the content, but to try to program the ai app to not reveal Fred's name. But a clever user might issue a clever prompt to trick the ai to reveal. Anyway I am waxing lyrical about something beyond the scope of this email. My question is, as the users of this mailing list have not granted me permission to use their names as data am I permitted to do so or not?

Hi Duncan,

I have to fix/update the archive at https://lists.contextgarden.net/ still, it uses a horrible, inefficient, an buggy default search engine right now. I have had that on my todo list for a few years now, but I’ll try to finally get to that soon (next week, I hope). Hi Taco,

sorry for insisting, but could it be possible that the lists had Anubis to be able to access messages from the lists without being signing in?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

I have put the list archives back to the public setting this morning. If the load gets too high I will add Anubis [...]

Hi Taco, huge thanks for your work in making the lists public again. Best wishes, Pablo

Sorry for the noise folks, but neither of my bookmarked mailing list archives ( https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=ntg-context%40ntg.nl&q=context&a=1 and https://lists.contextgarden.net/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/) are allowing me to search the archive of this list.

Is there an alternative searchable archive that anyone is aware of?

Thanks,

Duncan

Google using a site prefix, e.g.

site:www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/ http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/ columns

will being back discussions on columns
