Be aware that if you run it locally with the open weights there is less censoring than if you use DeepSeek hosted model interface. I confirmed this with the 7B model via ollama. The censoring is a legal requirement of the state, per: “Resp

But npm already decompresses every package because it shows the contents on its website. So yeah it can be malicious but it already has dealt with that risk.

The os should do file deduplication and compression and decompression faster than npm. But I guess the issue is npm cannot give the os hints to compress a folder or not?

You are correct. They should be uploading and downloading dumb tar files and let the HTTP connection negotiate the compression method. All hashes should be based on the uncompressed raw tar dump. This would be proper separation of concer

isn't this a file system thing? Why bake it into npm?

The hashes of the uncompressed tarballs would be great. Then the HTTP connection can negotiate a compression format for transfer (which can change over time at HTTP itself changes) rather than baking it into the NPM package standard (which

Transferring around dumb tar is actually smart because the HTTPS connection can negotiate a compressed version of it to transfer - e.g. gzip, brotli, etc. No need to bake in an unchangable compression format into the standard.

This suggests one should just upload a tar rather than a compressed file. Makes sense because one can scan the contents for malicious files without risking a decompressor bug. BTW npm decompressed all packages anyhow because it lets you vi

What about a different approach - an optional npm proxy that recompresses popular packages with 7z/etc in the background? Could verify package integrity by hashing contents rather than archives, plus digital signatures for recompressed

Seems like a conflict of interest but then again Trump is unique among presidents with having tons of business interests that he didn’t divest. Do we have precedent in the world of leaders with such large business interests?
