The model is conditioned / pretrained to use a particular version of a library. The model doesn’t know why — it was just taught to use that version. To the model, it is just some i…

Except that the model doesn't hold any malicious intent when doing it. No "deception", no "sabotage".

It will be used as ammunitions against non-US sanctioned models in general.

They can just favour some specific versions of some library that's been compromised. Unlike introducing bugs / flaws directly in the source code, they can claim plausible deniabili…

e.g. be trained to favour including compromised dependences into your projects.

Our dev arm (me included) do use Linux VDI. But most day-to-day business are done in Microsoft's ecosystem (Teams, SharePoint, Office, Copilot, etc). In the industry I am in, you w…

Corporates aren't running Linux not because it's hard to switch. Corporates are sticking to MS because of compliance and admin costs.

I just use a ban list in CLAUDE.md: fold, crux, invariant, gate. I find "load-bearing" can be load-bearing so it's exempted.

Are you more deterministic than an instruction-following black-box? I doubt it. Also, such organization practice mostly becomes a mechanical routine after the initial experimentati…

It means there is little point in providing a notes organiser when the notes can organise themselves (via LLM).

The writing is on the wall for PKMSs the moment LLMs are powerful enough to drive agentic workflows.

I think for this kind of system to work, there has to be SOME kind of public/shared server to do the coordination. If the inviting node is behind a firewall then no amount of infor…

Because they have “superhero serum”. Of course it doesn’t matter to you if you don’t want to achieve greatness, but some do.

Well. We will see about that. Wishful thinking can be cute.

USA will experience unprecedented prosperity from influx of global talents and capital who seek to amplify their productivity and profits by 10x.

Yes, that's what I meant. It's not that the Chinese will never be able to come up with models that superior --- it's simply that they will no longer have the incentive to open-sour…

While that might be true, it is unlikely that open source models' capability will ever surpass frontier models --- if you have the best model (by some margin), then people will wan…

As a company it is your responsibility to ensure your contractors are compliant. So won't work.

Have you seen legitimate corporates use cracked software? If you do, then your competitors will report you; your employees will blackmail you. The risk is too great.

In the not so distant future, all your coding edits (for work anyway) will be through centralized gateways. Think remote desktop environment where pasting from the client is disabl…

The government will just claim that unsanctioned models have the potential to deliberately introduce security vulnerabilities when working on IT projects (e.g. be trained to strong…

maybe to avoid getting their legitimate email servers banned by other servers since they host (i.e. being exploited) a growing number of spam accounts.

US will ban American companies from using Chinese models and also ban them from dealing with companies who use Chinese models. “Code produced by Chinese models may be deliberately …

So, browser = Java Runtime; uber HTML = applet?
