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.

For several years leading up to this point I had been talking to Amazonians on and off about the possibility of Amazon sponsoring my FreeBSD/EC2 work; rather predictably, most of those conversation ended up with my contacts at Amazon rhyming with "Amazon should definitely sponsor the work you're doing... but I don't…
