You know perfectly well that point 1 is completely irrelevant in the world of open-source.

A UK Ltd. is less transparent than Librewolf, an open-source project run by many volunteers without the incentive to make any money.

Point 3 is no longer true, the installer comes with the option to enable auto-update and on Linux, it also auto-updates, depending on distro, etc.

The risks you are talking about are not inherent to Librewolf, but to Linux and open-source, and thus are not legitimate criticisms of Librewolf.
Most the 7b instruct models are very bad outside very simple queries.

This is just lazy rhetoric. Some political groups go murder crazy as soon as they gain power, while others don't. Obviously not everybody is equally bad as everybody else.
Smoking cigarettes is distinct act you can choose not to engage in at all. Obesity is a result of how much food you eat, the types of food, how active you are, etc. and each of those are influenced by many factors like eating habits learned growing up, local economics, how able bodied or disabled you are, etc.

Smoking isn’t an outcome of a variety of actions, obesity is. Saying “motorcycles are dangerous, don’t ride motorcycles” is very different than saying “don’t drive dangerously”. You can simply choose not to buy or ride a motorcycle to reduce your risk of injury. But “not driving dangerously” is not so simple. Do you need glasses and don’t realize it? Did you learn bad driving habits? Are there too many distractions in your car? It isn’t a simple answer. It is the same with obesity. It isn’t tiptoeing around it.

I think when trying to debate something, the idea should be to try to convince the other person. That sounds stupidly obvious, but it's really not. Imagine you're debating somebody over something and resorted to an argument over the exact meaning of terms that, to people who might not share your worldview, would be completely obvious. It's unlikely you'd really be persuading them of anything.

I think the more salient point is that even if you assume clear racial distinctions, and even substantial racial differences, that still does not justify any sort of racial ideology. The movie Gattaca works as an oddly perfect metaphor for racial ideologies and its problems. Gattaca was about genetics, but it's not a coincidence that it fits perfectly with race, as it's literally the exact same problem.

Just because somebody is a part of a group with some sort of a negative correlation, does not mean that person will inherently let that trait dominate them. Incidentally the reverse is also true - just because somebody may e.g. have a high IQ does not mean they will inherently be knowledgeable or wise. It's okay to consider group tendencies, but at the end of the day individuals are able to rise far above or fall far below their "expectation", and so it's important to judge each person not by the makeup of their genetics, but by the content of their character.
The first sentence is wrong. The website says:

New York already taxes parking spaces:

> The services of parking, garaging and storing motor vehicles within New York City are subject to the 4% state tax, the 6% New York City local tax, and the ⅜% Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD) tax (for a combined state and local rate of 10⅜%).

> The borough of Manhattan has an additional 8% parking tax that applies unless the purchaser is a certified exempt resident (for a combined state and local rate of 18⅜%).

https://www.tax.ny.gov/pubs_and_bulls/tg_bulletins/st/parkin...

Maybe the tax rate should be increased? NYC would do well to adopt a system similar to the Chicago neighborhood parking zones for on-street parking:

We'll see, but I think the equivalent to people donating their own time to a traditional open source project would be people donating spare compute time for training, and nobody has figured out an effective way to do a Folding@home-style distributed version of ML training yet. Having to train open source models on big expensive compute clusters, and bid against commercial interests who also want to rent those clusters could be likened to having to pay everyone working on a traditional open source project full market rate for their time.

Cool project!

I'm conflicted about this sort of thing. It seems like the goal of someone approaching early modern English -- the earliest iteration that's roughly intelligible to us today -- should be to learn how to read it comfortably, and that with effort, that it should be feasible. Like, that's one major point of reading Shakespeare in school: so that you can get used to the feel of the language (and become a well-cultured, lifelong, paying audience member). On the other hand, there's so much "should" already around reading at all, much less reading difficult old texts, that I suppose that helper notes are a public service -- and even after reading & seeing lots of Shakespeare, I still need notes for some of the obscure idioms and references. And I suppose there's no real reason why someone has to start with Shakespeare, particularly if you're coming to this era in midlife after dozing off in English class.

It's a weird thing about the canon that we pick out one or two authors from every period, and completely forget about all the others. Like, what's the chance that the bottom 10th percentile of Shakespeare's plays are better than the top 10th of Marlowe, or of this guy Chapman who I'd never heard of? And it makes you wonder, who are the artists today who will be idolized through the ages, and who will be totally forgotten?

Like, it's cool to study the compleat works of an exemplary figure like Shakespeare, but maybe if we learn to study his contemporaries and cultural context, we'll gain a better understanding of the life and times, and be less prone to wild theories about how he couldn't have possibly written the plays, how it must have been some other figure with a fancier education, or even a group effort. The group effort was the whole flourishing Elizabethan playwriting scene, and he was merely the best among them.
Snopes Launches FactBot, an AI Service to Fact-Check Your Questions
Show HN: Tidyread – ADHD-Friendly AI RSS Reader
Living with ADHD, I often get easily distracted. I find myself frustrated with certain algorithmic recommendations that seem to exploit my vulnerabilities. These algorithms trigger FOMO or cater to my impulses, leaving me feeling out of control and overwhelmed.

I once thought RSS readers could solve my problem, but I still faced new issues that made me want to escape:

1. Many sources only provide titles or truncated summaries, requiring me to click through to see if it’s the content I want. Often, I realize halfway through that it’s not what I want, making me feel like I wasted my time.
2. When I don’t read for a while, a lot of information accumulates. Although I can clear it with one click, there’s a huge psychological burden before I start reading again. It’s like having 300 overdue tasks silently lying in my to-do list; I can’t clear them all at once and need to think about how to handle them.
3. As the number of subscribed sources increases, reading during fragmented times makes me feel overwhelmed by a torrent of information, exacerbating my anxiety. It’s like an endless social media feed.

So, I created an ADHD-friendly reader, Tidyread, which can:

1. Filter, summarize, and translate interesting sources using AI, and deliver a daily digest, making reading a routine.
2. Pause at any granularity: the entire Tidyread, a specific topic, or a particular source.
3. Allow you to freely plan topics and customize summary prompts by theme, providing more tailored content.
4. Offer an efficient reading mode to keep your reading flow smooth.
5. Provide a seamless content debugging process to easily optimize your information consumption practices.
6. Include comprehensive usage control features to minimize your costs.

Please give it a try. If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to comment.

Looking forward to your feedback!

> This is only illegal insofar as it conflicts with ECHR. An explicit repeal of ECHR and withdrawal from the European convention on human rights would be required, and there are people agitating for that. Once that's out of the way it's entirely possible for Parliament to start legalizing open season on whoever they like.

There's still a large technicality that I think is being missed here.

If the law is illegal who do you sue? In the US you can challenge a law as unconstitutional when it's enforced by suing the enforcer. You can't sue the individual people who passed the law; just basically the cops when they apply it (or the government at large as a collective individual).

Disagree. I read papers in biology and ecology regularly, and the relevance of them is much greater and at least easier to appreciate them.

Better yet install Open Web GUI and ollama at the same time via docker. Most people will want a familiar GUI rather than the terminal.

I don't think this is right. Placebo effect definitely exists for conditions that are largely influenced by mental perception. The common example is pain. You can reduce people's perception of pain by deploying the placebo effect, e.g. giving them sugar pills that you convince them will reduce their pain. It extends to other similar conditions which are not generally (or possible to be) measured directly, but rather based on a patient's self-reported scoring. Like "on on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your experience of this condition". Placebo effect can work for that. But not for other more tangible conditions.
No, it's saying someone who's poor should be allowed to snowboard just as much as someone rich, and currently they can't and that's a problem. You are advocating for poor people to not be allowed to snowboard, and if they do snowboard, for them to no longer be allowed to drive.

This is moving the goalposts. Your original post said

Yet, here one of them is, being replaced at a company that powers ~10% of the traffic on the Internet.

But beyond that, your links:

> 1. "Pingora is Not an Nginx Replacement" https://navendu.me/posts/pingora/

Here's what the start of the post actually says:

> Think of Pingora as an engine that can power a car while you have to build the car yourself. Nginx is a complete car you can drive. River is a faster, safer, and an easily customizable car.

The title is being pedantic for effect. It doesn't say what you say it's saying.

> 2. you still put it behind ha-proxy https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/issues/132

This is an issue opened by someone on an open source repository. They aren't talking about how Cloudflare itself uses it, but about how they want to use it.

> so for anyone who dislikes the "constant upgrade treadmill", this won't help much.

Similar to above, this is moving the goalposts. Sure, that might be true, but it's unrelated to the original topic.

> But the main advantages of Pingora - which are the reason why CloudFlare is using it now - have nothing to do with Rust.

This is not what Cloudflare themselves would say. They chose Rust for very specific reasons when building Pingora: (repeating the link from above) https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-we-built-pingora-the-proxy-t...

> We chose Rust as the language of the project because it can do what C can do in a memory safe way without compromising performance.

Cloudflare has been a vocal proponent of Rust for years now. Many years ago, they suffered a very serious bug, CloudBleed, that Rust would have prevented. And so they've been using Rust instead of C and C++ for a long time.

They of course would also very much agree that the architecture matters, but that doesn't mean that the implementation language doesn't matter either. If they chose to implement Pingora in, say, Ruby, that wouldn't have accomplished their goals.

I think the issue here is that the language doesn't have any form of user input, so all possible programs are fully static and thus can be represented without any loops or conditionals.

I don't agree that the language is turning complete due to the lack of any runtime dynamic aspect of the language.

It's akin to compiling a simple c program with loops unrolled and fully static variables and claiming the subset of generated assembly is turning complete.
One thing I've often done for home/soho wifi setups is to use more narrow bands... instead of whatever the max signal band size is, I'd use a step down. This has generally resulted in a more consistent and stronger connection. It may not have as much max throughput in theory, but the experience has usually been much better.

Just my own experience.
Android and iOS both have backdoors the US controls.
