We'd be lucky if government stopped at this. General computing will likely end up be treated like cars and driving. Users and corporations will be highly restricted and over regulated. I don't want this but this is how it's g

Oh I'm very away of the damage over regulation will cause to this industry and to humanity as a whole. I'm merely highlighting the irony. Humanity will never again have the kind of autonomy and freedom it enjoyed the past 50 years

They have only themselves to blame for this. They've spent decades developing technology to spy on and micro-regulate what their captive customers can do with their property. Now that they have this technology, it's only logical t

Sorry for the off-topic question but by any chance have you tried it with a stylus? I've read conflicting reports about how well this feature is supported. The pixel tablet is not available in my region and is _very_ expensive (for me)

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: Offer both HTTP and Torrents. Let the user decide.

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 with organizations like yours. I dropped sourcehut when they

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 of their domestic industries to be destroyed. If the US

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 a large unfair advantage over foreign competitors

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 competitors are no longer able to compete, then wouldn't it

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 which is a stretch given the literally illicit methods they used

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 children were murdered during the Holocaust (1.5

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 centralized system, some politician will manage to find a wa

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 appears to be very much deliberate. It almost feels like

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 keeping their own stuff disabled unless I opt in. Brav

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 sparrow variety) and topics that US tech giants censo

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

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, including those with kids like myself, don't truly

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.

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 time I try to load a PWA on my phone from my dev laptop, it bre

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 transitive libraries which exposes you to the exact s

The fact that they could pull a stunt like this shows that the EU is no democracy. Shame on the politicians who tried to rob people of their rights.
