OpenDP is great, but the industry adoption is quite slow from what I’ve observed. On the other hand, power users of DP have their own in-house implementations that are often closed-source.

I recently audited one such major library and I was surprised to find how many vulnerabilities it had

I've been working on Differential Privacy for a while now and I think that it is worthless.

Don't get me wrong. I love the mathematics that powers it. But ALL of the implementations I've come across has undeniable gaping flaws. We just can't seem to get it right and that is a big problem.

I’ve developed an obscene interest in computation, and I’ll be returning to the United States a better and impurer man.

1) many trained researchers have an increased productivity

2) a lot of untrained researchers produce β€œworkslop” that trained researchers have to deal with

Announcing DP Wizard v0.5 Complementing the v0.14 release of the OpenDP Library, we'd also like to announceΒ v0.5 of DP Wizard, a user interface that makes it easier to get started with differential privacy....

Nice! OpenDP's new release comes with a new version of their DP Wizard, a Python-based user interface that "makes it easier to get started with differential #privacy."

New feature: it includes "the new synthetic data generation functionality of OpenDP v0.14"

Similar energy:

Bohr was once writing a scientific paper – hesitating as was his habit.

Frustrated, he stopped and quipped: "I do not know how to finish this sentence."

Dirac replied: "I was taught at school that you should never start a sentence without knowing the end of it."
