Many AI safety orgs have tried to criminalize currently-existing open-source AI
<p>I've seen a few conversations where someone says something like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>I've been using an open-source LLM lately -- I'm a huge fan of not depending on OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. But I'm really sad that the AI safety groups are trying to ban the kind of open-source LLM that I'm using.</p>…

Flatpak Is Not the Future
Deploying apps for the Linux desktop is hard. A major problem has historically been library compatibility.

I gave commit rights to someone I didn't know (2016)
(Spoiler: trusting your contributors works) Some years ago, I polished up and released an abandoned project for storing financial data in Django.
