The government: "We're restricting its usage to US citizens only"
I mean, yes, correct, literally "not like that" is the complaint. Government arbitrarily picking and choosing what's allowed in order to force everyone to curry favor is very different from an general well-documented regulatory framework. It is not weird for someone who favors the latter to call foul at the former.
Their CEO was asking for it. Their whole marketing angle is their model is so powerful and dangerous.
Someone showed the government how the powerful and dangerous features can be unlocked with a 'fix bugs' prompt then it when and did exactly what their CEO asked for.
Where is the favoritism? Did other CEOs come out and say their models are crazy dangerous? Dario asked for this behavior and he got it. I guess he hoped to kneecap Deepseek or others. That's how companies operate, once they are big enough they want all the regulations because they know they can navigate them and others catching up may not be able to. Their own fear mongering around this demand backfired.
Yes, everyone in the space has front loaded the concerns about the power of this technology. Dario did not "ask for" singling out by a gangster administration. I probably agree with you about regulatory capture, but just "we don't like you, you haven't licked our boots enough, so we're going to screw with you" is a totally different thing. It's a different thing that is new to the modern history of the US. It's not new in general, lots of governments have been corrupt in this same way throughout history. But that's bad, and we shouldn't adopt that approach in the United States.
I agree that the fear mongering is bad, but that's a total pretext for what happened here.
I hear this argument about the weapon a lot but it makes no sense. Sure for intelligence processing etc but what weapons system would an llm be a good match for.
As far as I understand, this is purely a result of lack of maintainer resources. Apparently, nobody has been bothered enough by this to contribute the relevant changes.
Keep in mind that all of rustc and libs development takes place on Github.
Yes, unfortunately it is true. Sad, but I could live with that.
What in my opinion is unacceptable is that it requires you to give permission to "read your organization and team membership and private Projects".
I made a separate GitHub account (weinzierl-trusted-publisher) for crates.io which is far from ideal, because it works completely against the idea to build trust for a single unified identity online, but ¯\(ツ)/¯.
> While they're at it, they should kick out the French, the Germans, the Italians, and any other immigrants refusing to speak Swiss.
What's this Swiss language you speak of? I never heard of it. You must mean Romansh but that's only 0.5% of the population or so. You'd have to kick out 95.5% of the Swiss population too then?
That’s their point. Switzerland is a nation of immigrants. We don’t tend to be portrayed as such outside. And the SVP tends to forget this. (As does the GOP.)
> field. It has the advantage of allowing voltage regulation through adjustment of the field, rather than after the fact, which would be far less efficient
That and not having huge strong magnets is nice when doing maintenance.
With the guard rails explicit or implicit do they refund back the tokens after you've hit the guard rails? I guess they don't. They could just throttle you just to save money then. You may be paying Fable prices but getting Haiku results with some excuse that well this coding issue sounds like a security bug.
I don't know, I'd rather have something less powerful but more predictable.
For some reason I imagined death from The Seventh Seal by Bergman here. Very calm and matter for fact kind of a character. Maybe once in a while he may decide to visit for a game of chess...
> The United States is not exactly lacking in athletic prowess, as our women’s team and our success in other sports show.
That's one of the answers: it's seen as a "women's" sport mostly. In school boys play football and girls play soccer in rough general terms. And because football, basketball, baseball is already there there just isn't much demand for another "ball" sport to care about so to speak.
This is hilarious because we think the same about any sport that isn't soccer (football) in much of Latin America: "basketball / baseball is what girls play" is the tagline folks said growing up
Absolutely. It's funny how that works in a way. And then we end up with articles like "how come such and such a sport isn't popular, it's obviously such a great sport".
Some of it may be just adversarial, Americans wouldn't like soccer because well they want to feel special and different than Europeans. And likely Europeans or say Brazilians just wouldn't like American football, it just looks goofy to them.
It's funny, at Cornell I think the men play soccer better than the woman unequivocally but at Ithaca College the men play a very physical but stupid game whereas the women play a much smarter game when it comes to controlling the space.
A men's and women's sport that can be played with the same facilities is an economic plus -- college soccer is a great way to have fun supporting your school. It's a very different situation than field hockey, which is almost exclusively a woman's sport in the US although it is a huge men's sport in India and many other countries.
