Hopefully the same pushback that has so far stopped the worst of chat control would help. But even if not having more western alternatives would be very welcome. If you're in the US it may not resonate with you, but as a Canadian currently reading ongoing rhetoric about being annexed by the US I'd love to have options if things continue to go south with the status quo.
It's good to be skeptical about how we implement the idea of a "root of trust" in these machines, but matter-of-factly characterizing ME and PSP as "backdoor" is misleading and not useful.
This indeed works very well, most device are not very well locked down because of proje t resources limitation, and this opens a new era of hacking.
Unminifying, deobfuscating, api probing, hardware scanning and firmware decompiling are all operations that benefit a lot from AI.
This will start a new cat and mouse race, as it's also cheaper than ever to add friction to prevent those with AI as well and companies will notice soon. They historically hate hacking despite the fact a lot of success in their field can be directly traced back to it.
Very happy that it's still maintain, because that's the only real framework that allow an easy dev for a decently fast app with one code base that works on linux, windows, mac, ios and android at once.
It's way worse than that, it's an attack to the entire society.
The vast majority of ads lie; therefore, they are actively harmful. They create a situation where being surrounded by false things is normal. They promote the improvement of tools to make deception and tracking better and better.
On top of that, they install evil incentives for the medias, the news, and business models, influencing consumption, public options and opinions.
Finally, they concentrate power in those who already have enough money to pay for ads. You may have the better product, but a big player with better PR will win.
Ads are one of our most destructive creations. It's much, much more dangerous than it looks.
There are other projects like this, some with full notebooks capabilities. This one is more oriented towards snippet sharing like jsfiddle.
It has a virtual file system, so you actually can use sqlite!
It also means in the future, one could add multiple module supports, and pip install (albeit with a proxy) and numpy support.
