Selective enforcement is just tyranny, but what I think they were getting at is a minimum size enshrined in law. I don't think it's a great idea, really highlights how arbitrary this all is and presents a risk of advantaging the w

Distillation is objectively easier than training a model from scratch, that's why all these Chinese labs are doing it.

A crackdown would probably be an FBI responsibility, the NSA is not a law enforcement agency and absolutely does not have the authority.

It has a pessimistic title and just like redditors most HN voters don't read the articles they vote on.

I think the author is just totally ignorant, there's a whole community of security companies and researchers who are scanning every single package as it's released and have been doing so for some time now. Some of the details like

Any one of thousands of policy options that aren't "just ban it".

There are two issues with nanny statism, the first is poorly informed kneejerk overreactions, the second is immediately jumping to heavyhanded policies. In your example even the absurd warning label is significantly less of an issue than fl

It's none of their business whether or not others choose to use ECC. It's absolutely his business whether or not authorities force them to use ECC RAM or else.

If you don't want the US to have your date of birth, photo, fingerprints, etc then don't go to the US. It's that easy.

What a stupid, hysterical claim. This "sensitive data" is just what's on your passport, fingerprints, criminal history, and terrorism flags (from European agencies), only for people crossing the border. I don't see how y

In my experience this complete lack of reproducibility is what happens when you throw LLMs at a complicate problem without sufficient shaping, workflows, etc. Go ahead, let LLMs invoke LLMs invoke LLMs and by the end you'll get an outp
