<p>> “The source described leading AI labs or their allies approaching the administration every 3-5 months with an idea to ban open-source models.”<p>That's going to hit first amendment grounds pretty quick, the same way that software in general did.<p>The modern version of the decss flag will be a character that says "I think good weights are {...weights go here...}"<p>They could, however, ban any payment to a chinese entity, or any entity owned by a chinese entity for inference/ai services/etc</p>

<p>The article mentions that the "pranksterish" groups who took psychedelics weathered it just fine. They didn't have an expectation to disappoint.

<p>Generally speaking, things that you sell (the legal term is commercial speech, iirc) is more able to be regulated by the government.<p>The government can ban the sale of those things to minors, generally. So the category of porn sites that require a credit card and pay gate the content might be regulateable.<p>But that's not how places like pornhub or xvideos operate</p>

<p>It would probably also be illegal for the government to mandate a paywall.<p>The issue is not that age gates are illegal, but that the government forcing people to use age gates is illegal.</p>

<p>1st amendment. There's a long history of carve outs around commercial products. But, if Linux devs (who aren't selling anything) went to the mat against this law, the government of California would lose and (at least part of) their law would be struck down.</p>

<p>> The article mentions Zig as a factor, but is micromanaging memory really gaining over 2x vs node?<p>As someone who has optimized by reducing/batching heap allocations, 2x seems within the realm of possibility, depending on the exact circumstances.<p>That being said, iirc, node also has more hooks for things like observability than bun does, which might hurt it here</p>
