With all the valid concern around and power and water usage, I thought I'd start a blog series on tiny LLMs. Let's see what they can do on real tasks on very power efficient hardware.

@twilliability @vicki Oh yeah, totally forgot about that. I don't use RSS readers that often myself.

I just added an RSS feed can you check it? I didn't link it on the page but its in the <head> as a <link>

@kleaders @vicki It works, thank you so much!

(I use my Mastodon feed as my RSS reader, via RSS Parrot, which I built a few months ago. Your feed is at @kyle.works.blog@rss-parrot.net now :) )

In case you are wondering, the new Microsoft mini LLM - phi3, can handle code generation, in this case, SQL.

I compared the runtime (locally on CPU) with respect to codellama:7B using Ollama, and surprisingly the Phi3 runtime was significantly slower.

The impact from smaller opensource LLMs like Llama3-8B and Phi-3 could be large. They are not necessarily the best and smartest models but can be easily integrated in software on every device and platform. Also they can be finetuned, improved with RAG to function better for specific tasks and in specific contexts. Exciting times ahead.

Proving once again what lying bastards they are, hit St. Anthony Hospital (Chicago) on December 18 and exfiltrated some patient data. The hospital hasn't confirmed how much yet, and they make no mention of any of files. LockBit seems to be demanding $800k ransom/extortion to delete the files.

The human cost of medical data theft escalates in the AI age, as stolen records become fuel for a black market in personalized health manipulation.

If I could come up with a reason WHY, I'd honestly think we were trying to throw this game.

On Christmas Eve, Integris Health in Oklahoma was sending emails to patients and issuing notices about an attack by threat actors in November who were allegedly contacting patients directly.

According to their notices, the threat actors did not lock/encrypt anything but did exfiltrate files with

ProSmile Holdings issues disclosure involving that creates more questions than answers:

https://www.databreaches.net/prosmile-issues-breach-disclosure-that-creates-more-questions-than-it-answers/

This took way too long from breach discovery to notification and without any clear explanation for delay. Paging to Aisle 4, please...?

Clay County, Minnesota discloses attack and in October:

Affected and of Clay County residents as well as other Minnesota counties' residents who used Social Services.

Interesting disclosure in terms of sharing investigation details. It doesn't come out and say directly whether they paid or not, but tells people they can request the full investigation details report.

The Perry Johnson & Associates (PJ&A) breach that affected 1.2 million patients of Cook County Health in Illinois also affected millions of Northwell Health patients on Long Island,

PJ&A is a medical transcription service so lots of and appear to be involved in this one.

The actual breach/exfil occurred months ago. So far, I've not found any attribution, any indication of any extortion/ransom demand, or any group claiming responsibility for this one.

An inexcusable gap from breach to notification, or an excusable one?

https://www.databreaches.net/an-inexcusable-gap-from-breach-to-notification-or-an-excusable-one/

Repeat after me: "Date of discovery" does NOT mean the date you completed any investigation. It is the date on which you first knew or reasonably should have known that you had a breach of unsecured PHI.

It is not a huge breach as breaches go, but Sightpath Medical's breach notification raises a lot of questions about compliance with HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule. I hope investigates this one.
