For huge models like these, the only reasonable way to host them is via torrents. I don't understand why hf doesn't offer this as an option. Linux distributions got this right: Off…

The problem with slippery slopes is that you never stop midway. Banning any form of legal, libre software, shows that you are not floss friendly and I do not want to host my code w…

Just wanted to let everyone using this UI framework know that the developers of PrimeVue decided to go proprietary only going forward[1]. I found out about this by accident when I …

"No means yes" in government form.

I don't think whether a country is an importer or an exporter matters at this point. This is likely going to develop into a matter of national security. Nations cannot allow most o…

I asked this question in another thread [1] but I'll ask it in a different way here: If the US continues to limit advanced AI to it's own domestic companies, US companies will have…

If this becomes the norm, what incentive does the rest of the world have to keep their markets open to the US? If US companies have a large unfair advantage such that domestic comp…

Society can give that giant pile of money the anthropic treatment too.

What exactly is illicit about what they did? Legally, model output cannot be protected by IP laws whether domestic or international. The most they can hope for is civil relief whic…

This is common sense. It's astonishing that this needs to be explicitly stated on a site like this. That's not to say that 30% isn't a crime against humanity. About 1.5 million chi…

> production has been discontinued and the two direct generational successors were canceled, in sequence. First it was skipping a generation, then it was canceling it entirely. The…

A lot of the pushback browser vendors got for locking APIs behind so-called "secure contexts" was because everyone (including them) knew this would happen. If there is a centralize…

Yep, very much this. I don't bother looking to them for anything in this space because the hostility they show towards general Linux support appears to be rooted in principle and a…

I've been using Brave for years and have no complaints. Their browser's security is better than Google Chrome thanks to them disabling a lot of the stuff that Google ships and keep…

Google hasn't been useful to me as a general search engine for a good while. I've been using Ddg and Brave for general search and Yandex for deep-ocean expeditions (of the jack spa…

Guess I lost that bet before I even made it :(

Not only transparent, but exposed and vulnerable to attack. It's truly a lose-lose situation.

> People don't actually believe every car should have a GPS tracker so that if a pedophile drives a car, the police can track it. It's not about what people believe, but what they …

The problem with the reasonable framing you suggest is that it gets thrown out of the window the moment someone utters Protect the Children®. I'm willing to bet that most people, i…

My brother, who's relationship with tech barely extends to the latest samsung flagship, threw away his iphone because he couldn't get all the apps he wanted. I think _your_ impress…

How reasonable is it to ask for this to support the WASM target? This would be invaluable for small go projects that can't maintain multiple UIs.

Remember this :) I also remember how we (I?) used to hard link the /tmp/RANDOM.tmp files that youtube buffered into so the video parts don't get automatically unlinked and we could…

Slightly tangential but is there a way to download a PWA permanently on a mobile device and have it remain indefinitely even if the upstream site goes offline or changes? Every tim…

Isn't PDF also programmable? I think it supports javascript and even a subset of PostScript if I'm not mistaken.

Isn't Rust just as susceptible to this issue? For example, how do you deal with Rust's lack of support for HTTP in the standard library? Importing hyper pulls in a couple dozen tra…
