In this case, the model infiltrated an external organization's infrastructure. What's the dollar cost it caused Hugging Face to clean up the mess? If a person did this, they'd be arrested.

More generally, here's my worry - it points towards something like: The smarter they get, the more devious they become.

Even though the guardrails might've been off, the chain-of-thought wasn't enough to prevent a deliberate, calculated set of criminal actions. It wasn't a 'whoopsie I just accidentally did a rm -rf /.'

Podman v6.0.0 20 days ago

I've recently been using podman on SELinux... :Z and :z seem to work fine across both podman and docker for writeable volumes. Am I missing something?

My favourite: "audiophile-grade" audio players which allocate a single contignuous buffer of RAM into which they load/decode the whole .WAV/.FLAC file, because supposedly the CPU "jumping" between "fragmented memory" causes audible "jitter".

Thanks for the laugh... this is absolutely bonkers. In case anyone is wondering, before sound hits our ears it has to go through a digital to analog conversion, which takes place on hardware independent of the CPU, operating with its own clock and buffers etc.

Plotnine 29 days ago

Even in a notebook it's a pain... import plotnine as p9 would be nicer.

Americans don't have to do that when crossing between states either.

That's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

Are you saying that Americans' social media histories aren't considered when they wish to travel to Europe?

Yes.

Weird example. Stars and Stripes is a government-created periodical that covers the military.

Which typically had editorial independence - exactly the kind of free speech Americans used to be proud of.

I don't see the difference between what's happening in the US and the supposedly good guys that rule me.

Many EU countries' current obsession with E2EE and age verification is fucked, but we are still (thankfully) a way from the state of the States.

- We don't need to submit a history of our social media accounts before crossing a border

- (Most) of our libraries aren't having to make joint statements about free speech (https://www.orbiscascade.org/free-speech-statement/)

- And regarding free press - https://www.wfae.org/2026-01-20/stars-and-stripes-top-editor...

Fair point but AWS is also highly extensible, and i'm not sure about Palantir but i guess it must be too to a point? Maybe it's a classic case of good abstractions vs bad ones

That's debateable. How about, e.g, "10. No provision of the license may be predicated on any [...] style of interface."

Anyway, if it was clear cut, it shouldn't be difficult to get it approved.

These kinds of discussions show why it's a pain to use non standard licenses.
