I’m glad Gitlab is still an option, just sitting there waiting to absorb the market pivot if Microsoft takes it the wrong way.
As a Deno user, this news also makes me see more value in JSR. (Relative to npm's ownership, that is.)

Adversary to the people, or the state? These are wildly different concepts. Just because my state has beef with China doesn't mean they can't convince me that my life is better with China in it. Sometimes states just misrepresent the people.
Right, but in the same vein, the British crown has a documented history of applying that label to dissidents. It was part of why were revolted in the first place.
Our definition for what constitutes treason is purposely narrow specifically due to the abuse potential.

It’s anti-American behavior against a person in America as opposed to against the nation specifically. An attack on one is an attack on us all.
Lots of things are anti-American behavior.
Most of those things aren't joining up with a foreign adversary with whom we're officially at war.
Even things that are treasonous in a colloquial sense are still pretty narrow, and tend to refer to other specific forms of betraying your country, that just happen to be other crimes -- like espionage, or insurrection.

Yeah, I'm assuming they signed onto a startup with a bad case of title inflation.
Can confirm, I myself was a one person support desk (for a restaurant chain) and just never officially had a title. The internal moniker of "the IT guru" was fine for an email signature, but certainly not for a resume. (I've since made other retroactive edits to that, both for something more sensible and to better represent years of scope creep.)
~~Unless I'm missing something, that doesn't look like a jobs tracker.~~ Wait, I get it now, this isn't job applications, it's jobs available out there.
Bit of both. It stores available jobs via JSON upload, but also lets you log interviews and track their overall lifecycles.
This demo is just the UI and isn't thorough about API mocking (and the interview forms have a couple snags I need to work through still so I've left it out of the test data), but the full application also includes crawler flows for collecting results.
Since the license ban the use and installation in EU, I would ask: It is possible to formulate a license that claims: "The restriction A is motivated to protect our ass but we will not directly or indirectly enforce it against you"?, Such kind of phrasing in the license could be categorized or called "isolating clause" but I don't know if judges could consider it a circumvention of the law.
Edited several times, I should add: IANAL, but this sounds similar to meta releasing llama weights. I think that the spirit of the European law is to control concrete uses of AI and not a broad distribution of weights and architecture. So my question is: Does the EU AI act ban this distribution?, I think it provides more competition and options for Europeans.
Edited: Thinking a little more, installing open weights could allow backdoors (in the form of a way to manipulate intelligent agents via specials prompts designated to control the system), so perhaps from a national security point of view some care should be taken (but I personally hate that). So another question: Is there a way to control if open weights can create back doors (via prompt injection)?, I recall a paper in which prompt by symbols like 0?,#2! could put the system in a state in which one can read information that the LLM is asked to hide (that is a well known attack available to those that know the weights).
Another question: Is fine tuning or Lora a way to eliminate o amilliorate such prompt attacks?, is there any python library to defend against such attacks. Download - install - modify by fine tune or lora - now you are protected.

Maybe not the exact thing you're talking about, but that description reminds me of the Alliance for Open Media -- their codec licenses are royalty-free, but the same terms revoke your usage rights if you sue anyone for the use of these formats.
We shouldn’t even be using the offensive word “poaching.” As an employee, I am not a deer or wild boar owned by a feudal lord by working for his company. And another employer isn’t some thief stealing me away. I have agency and control over who I enter into an employment arrangement with!
I don't disagree with this either -- it's very clearly just a free market working both ways.
It also immediately reminds me of the no-call agreements companies had with each other last decade 10 or 15yrs ago.
Anytime someone tells you to be in it for the mission, you are expendable and underpaid.
I don't at all disagree with you, but at the kind of money you'd be making at an org like OAI, it's easy to envision there being a ceiling, past which the additional financial compensation doesn't necessarily matter that much.
The problem with the argument is that most places saying this are paying more like a sub-basement, not that there can't genuinely be more important things.
That said, Sam Altman is also a guy who stuck nondisparagement terms into their equity agreement... and in that same vein, framing poaching as "someone has broken into our home" reads like cult language.
I actually just shared a Show HN post about mine before finding this...
I recently shipped a first-draft UI demo that you can play around with for my self-hosted jobs tracker:
It looks nice, though. I'm impressed they were able to get 11W idle power consumption with a 400W power supply (most mini pcs have much smaller power supplies, which are supposed to be more efficient with smaller loads). [1]
