Open source was never about doing stuff for free - at least not originally. It’s about the definition of ownership. What does it mean to own a program? When you distribute the program, you must also distribute the code for it. That’s open s

What worries me is the non-frontier models, which is what the frontier models eventually become. The small open models are getting better and better too. And why worry so much about a frontier models - own weights. The model doesn’t - actu

I would love to move to Vienna. Really, I’d sell my house and go right now if I could. I can’t. Immigration and language barriers alone would prevent (even though I have family there). My point is just that Vienna doesn’t have to deal with

I’ve never known a security team to be in the position to say “no.” The role of security teams vary a lot from one organization to another. But generally they can make you aware of the tradeoffs you are making, or serve as a kind of quality

Regulatory teams are about external compliance. That’s different from “chief ethicist.” It’s a little unclear what this person was doing. But ensuring compliance with government regulations was probably not their core function.

Ok see what they’re doing - they’re taking a position that sounds (and mostly is) horrible. But they putting a poison pill for their opponents to consume: HIV patients have to work. Thats common sense. People with HIV are usually able to wo

This is strange - I work in insurance, and you really aren’t allowed to do that after the policy is signed. Or at least it’s very tightly controlled and limited to straight up fraud.

Me too! I’ve seen such good come from these sorts of programs! I didn’t want to mentioned it my initial post, but these sorts of programs seem a happy combination of keeping costs down and maximizing autonomy, while focusing on full-time on

I’ve been through this situation with family members. I understand the frustration and agony. I also understand the hesitancy to pay for two months at a “retreat-like inpatient psychiatric facility.” In publicly funded system, it’s likely f

Wait I read the memo - it said “duty of care.” That’s powerful rhetoric but really narrow and well defined legalese. I checked, and Texas police only have a duty of care in narrow situations: if someone requires emergency medical care, they

New York City specifically has laws that require establishments to admit journalists and critics. Civil liberties come into play. I can discriminate based on race or sex in who I allow into my house, but not my storefront. Some place have s

The child is mentally ill and being treated clinically. Medication, therapy, etc. I’d rather not go too into the clinical details, because I’m not an expert, I’m a parent. Roughly they are having difficulty with emotional regulation and pro
