First I was using Gogs. Someone forked Gogs and made Gitea, because Gogs was under control of a single person and some other people found that frustrating.

https://blog.gitea.com/welcome-to-gitea/

I was using Gitea for a long time, and then someone forked Gitea to create Forgejo. At this time, my installation of Gitea was already out of date a bit because I had previously been manually building and installing Gitea from source. Soon after Forgejo was created, it landed in FreeBSD ports and then it became available in the FreeBSD package manager.

So at this point, and having read a bit about Forgejo and seeing that Forgejo was maintained by people with connection to Codeberg, I thought “hey I need to migrate my current Gitea setup anyway. Either to Gitea installed from FreeBSD packages, or to something else. I might as well try Forgejo.”

And that’s how I ended up installing Forgejo and I’ve stuck with it since.
This is a really funny response
I think a plastic housing might look really nice TBH.
If someone is missing the workspaces from chrome/Arc. You can try the zen browser [1] which is Firefox fork that will have it. So you get the best of two world. Containers and workspaces. It is very good and they keep up with upstream with frequent updates.

No, the atmospheric CO2 measurements are unaffected by this. We definitely have a CO2 problem despite plants being more effective at extracting it than previously thought.

Another way of looking at it is that planting trees may be more effective at removing CO2 than previously thought, and deforestation somewhat more harmful.
> You could say the same about the guy in a call center in India trying to pull a tech support scam on you over the phone. Yes, he's probably making the best choice he can for his own livelihood, probably the same thing you would do in his position. No, that doesn't mean you should trust him.

No, you can't, because the scammer in the call center is choosing that over thousands of other options. Are they choosing to maximize their pay? Maybe. But for every scammer there are thousands of Indians who show a different option.

Choosing to dodge or resist the draft is totally different—very few people do it, and those who do get prison terms. If you sincerely believe that you'd have chosen to go to prison rather than be drafted, more power to you, but I and most others would aim to minimize the likelihood of ourselves dying and minimize the number of people I'd have to kill. For me that would have meant signing up for cyberwarfare, which in Israel would have meant Unit 8200.

The rest of your comment is totally irrational fear-based speculation. Anti-Israel sentiment may not be antisemitic, but it sure shares the same tendency towards irrational fear and aggression.
I would put money on it being the most common use case. It's certainly the reason I installed a screenshot extension for Chrome. I like the nod towards humour you've added at the end there, but it's probably time to cash out your chips and accept your losses.
I'm also a Swede living abroad. I have signed up with Swish using a non-Swedish phone number (but with Swedish bank account), it works fine in most cases. I do have an address though, but not in Sweden.

The actually rich stole from the middle and lower classes and told the lower class the middle class is the problem and the middle class that the lower classes are the problem.

Middle and lower classes are fighting among each other while the actually rich get richer. And some well-off middle class people think they're "rich".

I recently started using Firefox, after giving up on Windows, and recently found out about this feature. It's a godsend for productivity, especially in a world where a lot of things are done in a browser.
At such a small scale it will not slosh around satisfyingly.
How should we test AI for human-level intelligence? OpenAI o3 electrifies quest
Once the love of "Microsoft Loves FOSS Again" fades away as they aim to enter the next phase, some other company (Cloudflare? Tailscale?) will receive all the developer love until yet again, people realize that for-profit companies don't actually have their best interest at heart.

> It’s crazy to think that some software engineers might actually intentionally degrade user experience on non-Google browsers or for people using adblockers.

Why would I, as a developer whose income stream is based on advertising, intentionally cater to users who are costing me money? There is a web based on hobbyist platforms like PeerTube and Mastodon, and you can clearly see why they haven't captured the masses.
A Wearable Approach to Understanding Interspecies Well-Being
A lot of the reported issues with YouTube on Firefox (especially when paired with adblockers) involve things like increased page load times, UI elements not functioning as smoothly, or even video playback glitches. Some of this is due to JavaScript that’s intentionally designed to slow things down if you’re blocking ads or using a non-Google browser, as we’ve been discussing.
> What this article misses though is that despite this, each GPU in the distributed cluster still needs to have enough VRAM to load the entire copy of the model to complete the training process.

That's not exactly accurate. In the data parallel side of techniques, the Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) approach does require a fully copy of the model on each GPU. However there's also Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) which does not.

Similarly things like tensor parallelism (TP) split the model over GPUs, to the point where full layers are never in a single GPU anymore.

Combining multiple of the above is how huge foundation models are trained. Meta used 4d parallelism (FSDP + TP and pipeline/context parallelism) to train llama 405b.
> Developers (still) only develop and test with Chrome

Oh yeah, replace Chrome with IE and you've got the same thing happening again.

That is one of the reasons some governments have now stopped pushing the cashless society. In the Netherlands this realisation has set in, and the central bank now explicitly recommends people keep a sensible stash of cash for the inevitable (short term) crisis. Cash is a very useful tool when your digital infrastructure is being targetted.

Personally, while I will gladly pay with a contactless debit card, I refuse to shop at places which refuse cash. In the Netherlands, this is still rare though.

Besides, what about tourism? Even within Europe there is no guarantee my cards will just work in all places. Mostly? Yes. Always? Nope. Card fails? Just switch to cash. Going antiquing, or rifling through second hand book stalls at a book fair? Cash only is quite common there. It's not like I'll ever travel without cash.
Which argument? There are disadvantaged groups in the society (including by race), and several important aspects of them being disadvantaged are measurable. That's my whole argument here.
We're on a tech-focused site where someone mentioned that they don't install windows, because they don't want to login with an online-account. i agree that my described work-around is not made for the common enduser and i hate that this feature is so hidden, but i think executing a single command you find after 30 seconds of googling is not too much to ask for from a tech-adjacent person :)

i see posts on here of people reverse-engineering firmwares, hacking together new things, finding and using exploits etc., not sure why installing a windows seems to be a huge topic, then.
Yes. That's what my view is. If we cut down the trees, and burn them, we'll have the same level of C atoms in the atmosphere. If we keep using gas and oil coming under the ground, the number of C atoms will keep increasing.

Although I am not exactly sure about the ratio of the C atoms stored in the atmosphere, and C stored in trees, houses, but it seems to me the Logical move that we should stop getting gas and petrol from under the ground and start using trees and other plants instead.
Trolling is still essentially that, it's just that state actors and media decided to call scam and attacks trolling.
I think the subsistence farmers cutting down the Amazon are doing more burning than construction.
In Brazil there is a very successful cash alternative called PIX. My personal problem with it is that I still can't find a single FLOSS app to use it. For now, I have to resort to cash or cards.

For people who don't want to depend on proprietary software to make payments, what are the current trends and alternatives?
I don't think that feature even works on linux by default. I have an extension installed in chromium specifically to add it back, and even then it clearly feels like a workaround when using it.
It crashes with per-tab thread isolation? When was the last time you tried it? I don't believe I've had a single crash in the past five years and it's my daily driver.

> In Chrome I have to type the whole address. And why can't I search for the title of a page I know is in my history or even just a tab I already have opened directly from the search bar? I do that all the time in Firefox

You can't do that because that would lead to less people seeing the Google Search page, and therefore less ad impressions.

People been complaining about that for decades at this point, and Google just refuses to fix it, pretty clear why.
Being an Engineering Manager at Meta
A while back nobody would believe that Google's search dominance could be disturbed... and now many have either switched away or stopped using search altogether. It takes me two clicks to set a search to DDG, Kagi or other and Google has lost this customer (often a family) forever.

So let them be arrogant and loose their YouTube customers over time too.

> As I said, disqualified for being a cauldron of souls.

Would you like help moving those goal-posts for your supposedly easy to understand test?

This claim:

> My requirements enforce a no human content during training. It's exactly that requirement that makes the test easy. If you allow human content to be part of it, then tests become ellusive.

Is directly incompatible with this one:

> If we had a living human fluent in Linear A, I believe we could decipher it. Machines have us, living humans speaking a living language, to learn

If there's no human content allowed, then we here today can't use a living human fluent in Linear A to decipher it. Nor, for that matter, even so much as the mere historical record of Linear A without any human.

You are demanding AI pass a standard that literally no human would ever be capable of, because if I simply switch the nouns you get: "A pass is a human with no Linear A training data input that is able to reason on Linear A content".

> There are living humans that had their works put inside and are publicly saying "I don't want to be inside this machine". What more do you want?

I want you to be specific and to be testable. You still have a test which is… have you ever had a client who wanted you to build "Uber for aircraft" or something else equally vague? They didn't even realise they didn't have a plan. That's what I see from you. Your position is pre-paradigmatic.

Consider for example: a human who grows up with no human works put inside their head is what is called a "feral child" — they do not magically understand anything of the rest of civilisation, this is because that understanding has to be taught by… observing humans as they talk to each other, mimicking them, trying to talk with them to get feedback, etc., which is what the LLMs are all doing.

It looks like a double standard to me, that you demanding that an AI, who is raised by actual wolves does better than a human who is raised by actual wolves.

What you have actually said so far, would refuse to recognise as intelligent an AI that is given control of an android body and had to read books by physically holding them and turning the pages with robot hands, which it operates in human timescales, and which gets there in the same timeframe as an actual human.

It would also rule out an actual human, because we learn from the works of other humans.
It depends on the extension, what are you using? Search in the Add-on store[0] If It's present there, then Firefox can even import them from Chrome for you if it matches certain criteria[1]

Are autoplay YouTube embeds still a thing?
Oh wow, I did not notice. That is an earth shattering revelation.

My post was explicitly about how you can not trust reddit headlines with 30 second videos, which show nothing about the claimed events. But now that you have pointed out that the headline actually says something it has to be true, thank you so much for your attention to detail. I don't know how I could have missed this tiny detail which my entire post was about.
I don't mind the critique at all. Frankly I think most parents look back and spot gaps where they could have done better. It's a difficult thing to get right all the time.

I don't think your expectation is big. When I was 13 we visited London for the first time. (A different continent to where I was raised.) We stayed there for 3 weeks, and by week 2 my brother (14) and myself were riding the subway without our parents. (It really isn't that hard to figure out.)

But equally by 13 we'd had a lot of experience with public transport at home - busses home from school, or into the city, and so on.

I don't think age has terribly much to do with it. Exposing kids to the process, making sure they have the tools to deal with the unexpected. A small amount of emergency getting home money - these days a phone obviously - and I'd likely toss in a tracking device of some kind (in addition to the phone.)

I think you are on the right track. Get them familiar with the options, and then slowly get them more involved. They can buy the tickets - identify when to get off. Perhaps "miss" the stop a couple times to show what happens if you do, and so on.

In some countries letting the driver know where you plan to get off is good if you're young. Don't rely on it, but in lots of places drivers are happy to keep an eye out. (And you don't have to be young. I caught a bus in Norway once with no idea of when I was getting off, I just told the driver and he stopped at the right place, and let me know it was my stop - I was probably 35 at the time.)

For children, it's not about age, it's about experience. Once they've got the pattern down, the age really doesn't matter at all.

(Ironically, looking back, I don't think my folks ever rode the bus with us. It was more like - "there's the bus stop, here's money for the fare, get off at the right stop - how hard can it be?" :)
Underestimated by one quarter! A factor of 4/3 or 3/4.
In the Boston area at least, the role Starbucks used to play has been fully supplanted by Caffè Nero. In my town the two are right next to each other and the difference is stark. The Caffè Nero feels like a cozy study with comfortable seating, dim lighting, and pleasant decor. The Starbucks has full-on highway rest stop vibes.
We need to be building a mountain range out of diamonds.
about youtube being totally unusable on firefox: is it just youtube/google being evil as is customary or also firefox having loads of memory leaks, as its usual too? (plenty of mem leak bugs with video/audio reported over the years, many very recent and still open)
I do web dev and prefer safari. It’s less power hungry on a laptop. If you develop for the lowest common denominator, every other browser just works.

There’s something to be said for adding _less_ features to web browsers. A simple web is a web where open source solutions can compete with chrome. It helps avoid a browser monoculture.
This sounds a lot like the description of carving width [1], and I was wondering if you could help me understand how the analogy differs between them?

They did but they left so many loopholes that was it was basically pointless. Foreigners simply started making an incorporation or using any of the quick "PR" schemes to be able to purchase a property.

Many people will even pool money from the multiple families if need be to purchase residence and then renting it to Canadian citizens for profit or putting on AirBnb.
I switched to Firefox, and then back to Chrome and never looked back..
In 2015? Maybe.

Today? Not at all.
Their font rendering always looks off to me. The only browser with proper font rendering on windows is Edge.
~0.1% of real estate. If the major concern is these rules change nothing then that applies to both upsides and downsides.
I have been using ZFS on Mint and Alpine Linux for years for all drives (including root) and have never had an issue. It's been fantastic and is super fast. My linux/zfs laptop loads games much faster than an identical machine running Windows.

I have never had data corruption issues with ZFS, but I have had both xfs and ext4 destroy entire discs.
This might be a hot take but Firefox has always been a bit heavy and sluggish for me. I've been using Brave the last 3 years or so and so far I love it.. Say what you want about using the chromium engine but it's solid.. And with continuing support for manifest v2 I can't complain.
Is it not the case of using Ubuntu with Snap? I have experienced similar things with Chrome and Firefox on Ubuntu starting extremely slowly when using the snap version. And Ubuntu does not offer deb packages for those anymore, you have to manually add the Mozilla repo to use that.
Not sure why you hold the media to such a high standard given its history of ignoring the science regarding health claims, climate change denials or covid misinformation. I wouldn't focus too much on that. :)

"you tried to say it was because the Middle East was in East Asia". I didn't. This is what I said (quoted): "Middle East is a region in Asia". And you said "The Middle East is in Western Asia" which supports my point.

Most people in the English speaking world get confused with basic math (as indicated by studies by the OECD and Santander among others) or world geography (especially concerning territories outside the western world, this seems to be anecdotally true in the US).
The gotcha here is they import maids from developing SEA countries. Its probably a net positive for all parties but those maids get paid low (comparatively to the local market) but well enough compared to their homeland. They will leave their families to make money so they can send it back. Sometimes this power dynamic creates bad situations. Similar story in Hong Kong.

So you can go back to a position that most definitely pays at least double what the maid is making and adding value to the economy.

Edit: I have more knowledge on the HK side, the maid works long hours 6 days a week. On their day off they congregate downtown (at least used to) and socialize and create informal markets. Its not an easy life but they are able to send money back home.
This is really cool, I never expected to see reversible computation made in electrical systems. I learned about it undergrad taking a course by Bruce MacLennan* though it was more applied to "billiard ball" or quantum computing. It was such a cool class though.

Over 5k WordPress sites caught in WP3.XYZ malware attack
I ended up switching back from Firefox to Chrome after a few weeks because I found that if I had more than about 6 YouTube tabs opened, the YouTube interface would become very laggy. I blamed it on Firefox at the time but maybe it was something intentional by Google.
Same. It was in 2002.

Well, I guess it was still Phoenix then.
