> The default WebView backend uses the operating system's own webview for small binaries, and you still have the entire npm ecosystem available through Deno's Node compat layer.
Sounds like a similar architecture to Tauri, but your business logic is in typescript instead of rust.
I wouldn’t trust Chinese labs’ TOS very much. It would be incredibly difficult and expensive to enforce any of those terms.
edit: this is a comment about suing and enforcing judgments against Chinese companies in the US, especially software companies, not necessarily about how trustworthy the Chinese labs are.
The general consensus is stocks nosedived after the strong jobs report, because strong labor market means its more likely Fed will hike interest rates to curb inflation.
EOs have force of law if exercising valid executive authority. POTUS could have, e.g., conditioned federal contracts on compliance with this vetting program, but didn’t.
What seem like the most interesting bits, selectively pruned of legalese:
>Within 60 days of the date of this order, the [executive branch] shall:
>(a) develop and maintain a classified benchmarking process to assess the advanced cyber capabilities of AI models and determine the threshold at which an AI model should be designated a “covered frontier model” for the purposes of this order, sharing such assessments with AI developers and researchers as appropriate. …
>(b) design a voluntary framework with AI developers through which developers would be able to: (i) engage the Federal Government to determine whether model(s) under development meet the designation of “covered frontier model”; (ii) provide the Federal Government with access to covered frontier models, subject to [some conditions]; and
(iii) collaborate with the Federal Government to select trusted partners that will have early access to covered frontier models to promote secure innovation and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure.
~Qualifying all of this with the caveat that I'm not a social scientist.~
I really appreciate your response, which made me realize this is more nuanced than I thought at first blush. (I wrote that reply before you linked the National Academies review, which was quite helpful.)
Maybe I am truly morally panicked, but I'm really hesitant to brush aside the evidence as "basically nothing." Small effects are worth paying attention to (https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-26026-014). And quantifying the harms of social media use is less like quantifying the harms of, say, smoking cigarettes, because social media has (indeed, is built on) network effects. You could plop a kid from the 50's into a modern American neighborhood and their mental health might decline even if they don't use social media because of the way it has changed childhood. When the social life of an entire generation is transformed by technology, it stops making sense to ask "How much does one hour of Instagram hurt mental health?" Yet that is essentially the question all the studies are designed to answer, and even still, we see an effect.
Anyway, thanks for taking to time to explain your perspective.
The title of the paper this blog post is based on, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/developmental-psycholog..., is "We don't know how social media bans will affect youth but we're doing it anyway!" Which is a little cheeky for my taste given the seriousness of the issue these bans are trying to address.
This severely underplays the "risks" of not banning social media for teenagers. The link between social media use and mental health problems in teens is extremely well documented.

per violation.

This is the "penalties" section of the bill (available at https://www.ilga.gov/documents/legislation/104/SB/PDF/10400S...). I'm not sure what counts as a violation, but if it's simply the act of releasing the model, this isn't going to have much impact at $1,000,000 maximum.
As to the bigger question of how can Illinois regulate a company that isn't based in Illinois: the general principal is that states can regulate a company's conduct within or targeted at the state. In the U.S., there are constitutional limits to this kind of regulation (https://texaslawreview.org/state-regulation-of-online-behavi...). It's a fuzzy line, though, and if this were a big enough headache for the frontier labs to comply with they would probably litigate it.
The paper this article is based on: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.04664. It's not as sensational as the headline suggests. E.g., "Hallucinations are inevitable only for base models." I feel like this is something most people familiar with how LLMs work already understand.
This is what people said about the banks in 2007. Just because the big players’ balance sheets can take the hit doesn’t mean the wider economy is insulated.
