privacy
Last edited: August 8, 2025“privacy as an individual right”
- privacy is a control of information: controlling our private information shared with others
- free choice with alternatives and informed understanding of what’s offered
- control over personal data collection and aggregation
- privacy as autonomy: your agency to decide for what’s valuable
- autonomy over our own lives, and our ability to lead them
- do you have agency?
“privacy as a social group”
- privacy as social good: social life would be severely compromised without privacy
- privacy allows social
- privacy as a display of trust: privacy enables trusting relationships
- “fiduciary”: proxy between you and a company
- “should anyone who has access to personal info have a fiduciary responsibility?”
key trust questions
- who/what do we trust?
- what do we do if trust isn’t upheald?
- how to approach building trust
trust
trust: to stop questioning the responsibility of something

Last edited: August 8, 2025Remember Bayes Rule in Baysian Parameter Learning:
\begin{equation} P\qty(\theta | D) = \frac{P\qty(D | \theta) p \qty(\theta)}{\int_{\theta}P\qty(D | \theta) p \qty(\theta) \dd{\theta}} \end{equation}
we can’t actually easily compute the bottom without taking an analytic integral; instead we can sample from it.
If you want analytical form, you should hope that your likelihood function is a conjugate prior which allows us to analytically update prirors.

probability
Last edited: August 8, 2025probability of an event is the proportion of times the event occurs in many repeated trials. It is “our belief that an event \(E\) occurs”.
“the probability of a outcome is a number between 0-1 which highlights how likely the outcome is likely to occur realtive to other outcomes”
Frequentist Definition of Probability
That is, it is a number between \(0-1\). Whereby:
\begin{equation} P(E) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n(E)}{n} \end{equation}
