<p>In my opinion all this discussion of the contract language is a subterfuge. The real question is why the government was requesting this language in the first place. Clearly there’s more to it than a legal battle.<p>In my mind, the government would be fully happy to use this to surveil citizens (and indeed anyone) with or without any legal basis, but the issue was that Anthropic has a safety stack / training and inference protocols that it follows. Refusals, abuse models, and manual guardrails. They didn’t want to shut those off. Likely there were some very basic technical reasons, some being that the team’s safety posture is fully ingrained in the model itself and thus difficult to remove.<p>In this document, OpenAI admits that while they are not “turning off” their safety stack, they are completely willing to provide the government with a different model, different guardrails, etc. That should be incredibly concerning. Anthropic was unwilling to do this, cited their ToS, and ultimately had to walk away from the deal. Given that the government (DoW really) framed this in terms of a hilariously stupid position (surveillance and autonomous weapons), Anthropic felt that this was something they could voice to the public and therefore the entire guardrails discussion turned into a “we want the language changed”. Also the government can’t actually compel Anthropic to create new guardrails so they had no choice but to raise the stakes, make this a moral thing, and basically accuse Anthropic of being woke.<p>IMO this is really sad for OpenAI employees. Yet again Sam Altman proves that he wants to weasel his way around public perception. Folks at the company have to grapple with working for someone of that disposition.</p>

<p>I would emphasize self reliance and sustainable living. Things like home ownership, dollar-resistant assets like gold, and self education in topics that matter to you and your existence.<p>Another way to frame it is what would you do in a low trust environment where corporations and the government were not to be trusted. You would likely avoid things like bubble bursting AI stock investments, jostling for rank in a company, etc.</p>

<p>This feels like the exactly wrong way to think about it IMO. For me “knowledge” is not the explicit recitation of the correct solution, it’s all the implicit working knowledge I gain from trying different things, having initial assumptions fail, seeing what was off, dealing with deployment headaches, etc. As I work, I carefully pay attention to the outputs of all tools and try to mentally document what paths I didn’t take. That makes dealing with bugs and issues later on a lot easier, but it also expands my awareness of the domain, and checks my hubris on thinking I know something, and makes it possible to reason about the system when doing things later on.<p>Of course, this kind of interactive deep engagement with a topic is fast becoming obsolete. But the essence to me of “knowing” is about doing and experiencing things, updating my bayesian priors dialectically (to put it fancily)</p>

<p>jj is actually perfectly fit for this and many other problems. In fact, this is actually the default behavior for jj -- if you squash a bunch of jj commits, the bookmarks on top automatically point to the updated rev tree. Then when syncing the dependent branches to git they all rebase automatically.<p>The problem however lies in who or what does this rebasing in a multi-tenant environment. You sort of need a system that can do it automatically, or one that gives you control over the process. For example, jj can often get tripped up with branch rules in git since you might accidentally move a bookmark that isn't yours to move, so to speak.</p>

<p>If they didn’t have the nodejs dependency then the Tauri bundle could be as small as 20mb.<p>Another pro not mentioned is that native integrations (i.e. obj-c on macos) are much easier to do since rust has great ffi integration with other native libraries.<p>The biggest pro to electron is that it has extensive plugins that are often widely used in production by large companies. But Tauri is definitely winning and any new project should use Tauri no matter what essentially.</p>
