AI in NK?
Much is known about North Korea's cyber capabilities, including DeFi hacks.
But NK also has a state-sponsored (as if there was an alternative) AI program. Presumably its devs have the same open Internet access as its APTs. But how about GPU/compute for training - when they could use those GPUs for cryptomining for immediate returns?
Lantern is a new type of VPN app which helps people get around blocked sites in their country: Lantern gives you uninterrupted access to the open internet by utilizing a variety of techniques to bypass censorship and firewalls, quickly shifting to other approaches if those techniques are blocked.
Free up to 500 MB/mo then rate-limited. Useful for accessing microblogging platforms (blocked Mastodon instances).
Is there a free software license that excludes military use?
On one hand, you get peace of mind that your work isn't blowing up civilians.
OTOH, the Russian government just announced they (maybe) won't abide by software licenses - legalizing piracy.

Electron is a resource hog. But most people wouldn't build a native Linux app without it.
There's an alternative: Revery
"Revery is kind of like super-fast, native code Electron - with bundled React-like/Redux-like libraries and a fast build system - all ready to go!"
Somehow achieved by using OCaml.
