What’s wrong with transparency for advertisements? If you take offense to the “boosting” of news sites, I see the point but now we have Elon arbitrarily boosting his own content on X.

Not sure how you end up solving that issue other than perhaps a more transparent system like the original Birdwatch.
What happens is that you call Iron Mountain and find out that those tapes don't actually have anything useful on them.
If you're syncing a bookmark that is somehow illegal content, it would come to rest on their servers and they'd potentially be liable for it. (IIRC they encrypt everything at rest, so this is a speculative risk)
Lower hallucinations than o1. Impressive.
There's no distinction to me.

AI is hard; edge cases are hard. AI sucks at edge cases.

Between AI for cars and AI for software the long tail of edge cases that have to be catered for is different, yes.

...but I'm sure the same will apply for AI for art (e.g. hands), and AI for (insert domain here).

Obviously no analogy is perfect, but I think you have to really make an effort to look away from reality not to see the glaringly obvious parallels in cars, art, programming, problem solving, robots, etc. where machine learning models struggle with edge cases.

Does the tooling they used matter? no, not at all.

...but if they've claimed to solve the 'edge case problem', they've done something really interesting. If not, they haven't.

So, don't claim to have done something really interesting if you haven't.

You can say "I've been using AI to build a blah blah blah. It's great!" and that's perfectly ok.

You have to go out of your way to say "I've been using an AI to build blah blah blah and I haven't written any of it, it's all generated by AI". <-- kinda attention seeking.

"no lines of code directly written" really? Why did you mention that? You got the AI to write your software for you? That sounds cool! Let's talk! Are you an AI consultant by any chance? (yes, they are). ...but.

No. You didn't. You really didn't. I'm completely happy to call people out for doing that; its not unfair at all.

Too many AI grifters out there.

Mozilla has had their own dedicated license - the Mozilla Public License - for as long as I remember. My understanding is that FF and Thunderbird's source code are both still under this license.

Outlook was better in the past, too. The "Advanced Find" functionality was better than any other email client I've ever used and it was gutted in 2013 (or 2016-- I don't recall). Outlook (and Office) 2010 we're the peak of the product to me.

They tried that with Mozilla VPN. It used Mullvad under the hood (a very good Swedish VPN provider), was tailored towards USA, and I could not use a config manually. Which meant I paid a year for nothing. Not the same as donation, but still.

Together with certain other services, like Password manager and Firefox Accounts, they could indeed go with your suggestion. However, I really do not want my EU data under a US business or non-profit. I want my data under EU laws, or European at least (Norway, Switzerland are also OK).

IMO, Mozilla should team up with Kagi. They have the numbers of users, and Kagi has the excellent product.

Speaking of weird takes. The rescuers first response wasn't "stick it up your ass", it was that they had a workable solution, the team to execute it and the last thing necessary was an even bigger media circus. Elon pouted and whined that he wasn't being taken seriously, and -then- that quote came out. That quote from, by the way, someone who was actually in the middle of coordinating the rescue, being harangued by reporters as to why they weren't indulging Musk's spur-of-the-moment idea that wasn't even remotely feasible (Musk hadn't even considered the cave geometry).

I find it borderline offensive that you equate someone under stress saying "stick it up his ass" as "toxic attitude" that is on the same level as going to the media and saying "I have evidence that this person is a pedophile" (Oh, not to mention the fact that Musk then fucking HIRED a PI to try to gather evidence for when he was called on his bullshit).

"Stick it up your ass" and "I have evidence that you are a pedophile" are not "reflections of the same".

"Stick it up your ass" won't ruin anybody's life. Being falsely accused of pedophilia can, has, and does ruin lives.

I think it takes a clear bias to even conflate the two in some attempt to defend Musk and make the cave diver the bad guy.
So if you just point to something an IDC - analyst? has pulled of their rear end... is alright? ;-)

This is the SerenityOS browser split off into its own project. I have respect for Andreas and hope this browser continues to mature.
.NET DLL files are not only MSIL code, they are also native code. If built for the same architecture (x86, x64...) as the importing program, it can be loaded like any other DLL.

The DLL links to MSCOREE.DLL. When loaded into a process, the DLL can initialize the .NET runtime when necessary. The DLL's entry point is a jump to _CorDllMain within MSCOREE.DLL, which takes care of loading and initializing .NET if it hasn't been done before.

As for how it manages to initialize .NET from within DllMain (you're under DLL loader lock at this point), I don't know. It has to somehow get out of loader lock at some point before it loads a bunch of DLLs.

I don't understand. As this page notes under "What would it mean for iOS to "have" sideloading?", iOS lets you sideload apps. If you pay for a developer account, you can sideload an app and just have to renew the cert every year.

It's not clear why this doesn't count as sideloading.
Red Hatter here.

none of that has happened for us at Red Hat. Other than the one round of layoffs which occurred at the time that basically every tech company everywhere was doing much larger layoffs, that was pretty much it and there's no reason to think our layoffs wouldn't have been much greater at that time if we were not under the IBM umbrella.

Besides that, I dont even remember when we were acquired, absolutely nothing has changed for us in engineering; we have the same co-workers, still using all Red Hat email / intranets / IT, etc., there's still a healthy promotions pipeline, all of that. I dont even know anyone from the IBM side. We had heard all the horror stories of other companies IBM acquired but for whatever reason, it's not been that way at all for us at least in the engineering group.

> Attempts to retrofit safely to C have been around a lot longer than Cheri; fil-c is just the latest and there's no obvious reason why it should be more successful.

It is true that memory-safe C compilers have existed for decades and have seen minimal adoption.

However, improvements to clang/llvm could yield wider impact and benefit than previous efforts, since they may be supported in a widely used C toolchain.

-fbounds-safety is another change that may see more adoption if it makes it into mainline clang/llvm

So let's be clear, Musk, when a deal seems possible, "Cartels? None of my business, not my problem, let's make a deal."

Musk, when it falls through, "Oh, he's just in bed with the cartels. I wouldn't want to do business with him."

He and Trump have a lot alike in that regard. "Best people, smartest people" when they're new and still in favor. "Who?" "Stupid person, who hired him?" when not.

> What parse-time? (...) TBH, I am still failing to see your point

What I tried to say was: in some programming languages, this insert will not even compile. So you don't have to write a test, you don't have to spin up a test database or anything, it just doesn't compile. And I prefer that over having to wait until a query is actually sent before I get an error.

This is relevant for me because 1.) it makes me more productive since I get the error much quicker and I don't have to write a test and 2.) it prevents getting calls in the night because something broke.

I hope that makes it clear.

Why do people get upset about the limitations on Apple, yet happily accept that their Nintendo system will not play whatever they want to install, nor any other console system?

Yes, it's a powerful computing device that is probably much more capable and can be made to do more things than the intended purpose. That's fine to be curious about, and if you are feeling adventurous enough to fight against the system to get it to do more, go right ahead. However, I see no reason why Apple should be forced into helping you do that. It's not an OSS system.

Mozilla is quite adept at own goals when it comes to privacy. If I were a Mozilla executive reviewing this policy, I'd send it back to the lawyers to make a lot more effort to be clear about what Mozilla will and will not do for stuff, in a way that is actually readable and understandable by lay people.

I have enough legal knowledge to know that most of this is basically necessary legal boilerplate because holy crap does the legal system suck, but Mozilla tries to pitch Firefox as a privacy-favoring alternative, and looks-like-everybody-else legal boilerplate absolutely undermines that pitch and more.
I appreciate you trying to help, but I think you are misunderstanding my complaint. The issue here is that even with embeddings, things get labels. Clusters have labels (organized by color) and individual data have labels. Nether of these are well defined so it is not super clear what is being said.

(I'm actually well aware of T-SNE. FYI, it is not a great tool to use and people often conflate it with PCA or dimensionality reductions. Probably fine here because it is concerned with grouping.)
if you left right after the acquisition how can you even speak to what the experience has been?
His help WAS going to be useless (mostly because Musk's design completely failed to account for the cave geometry) and of course it was a publicity stunt. There's a team of international cave rescuers and medical professionals on scene, but what do they know? Musk literally announced his "plan" to the media before anyone on scene. That's the definition of a publicity stunt.

Oh, and if you just called me a pedophile to the world, WHILE I've been up for 30 hours straight coordinating a cave diving rescue, and the media keeps asking me "Why not Musk's submarine?", you know what, I'd probably say something a lot less polite than "he can stick it up his ass".
Can someone catch me up, how close are they to migrating it to Jakt?
See sibling comments. Mozilla issued a comment today without changing the new ToS (Feb 27), but one might inquire why a new ToS is necessary after years of providing "basic functionality" with the existing ToS:

> Mozilla’s since added an addendum to its announcement (12 hours after I published this article) to clarify its wording in the above excerpts. It says it needs a “…license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example. It does NOT give us ownership of your data or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice.“
> maybe they can go and develop their own phone?

You don't like the phone system? Maybe you can go and make your own phone network. You don't like this forum? Go start your own forum.

Do you see the problem here?

Network monopolies are pretty much impossible for a newcomer to compete with, even for a rather resourceful entity, like Microsoft and their phones.
> This is a weird take. The "pedo guy" guy told Elon to stick the submarine up his ass.

The weird thing here is that Elon waltzed in with a 'solution' that was ostensibly flawed to anyone but those with the most superficial understanding of what was required, and blithely presented it to actual experts who were putting their lives at risk, and then expected to be praised. What would be normal, would have been to graciously take the reality check he was given and adjust his priors. This is what actually intelligent people do: they learn; they grow up. And maybe one day, Elon will make it to adulthood, but his early fortunes have insulated him from any need for introspection.
We may want to start thinking about smartphones as infrastructure.

It’s not practical to run five sets of power lines to each house so that utility companies can compete in a free market. Thus utility companies are heavily regulated.

But it’s also not practical for each person to carry five smartphones. So, maybe we need to regulate this space as well?..
This is a classic fallacy - you can't find a productive use for it, therefore nobody can find a productive use for it. That's not how the world works.

Just to note the Acid 2 test was released April 2005 [1], and Google Chrome from December 2008 [2]. That's about 3,5 years.

At some point (around these mentioned years), Mozilla Firefox had a very good market share since MSIE's was dwindling, Safari's was minor (no iOS yet), and Google Chrome did not yet exist. Those were the days ;)

Also, Safari only exists due to Konqueror (and its dependencies), and Chrome only exists due to Safari, and Konqueror.

I don't think there was much choice when it came to the size of the unit. It was a shipping container...the size is standardized. So more "install the first one and start filling it. When you get to some percentage of maxing it out, start budgeting for the next one."

the cost was 1% of traditional data centers

That smells an awful lot like an apples-to-oranges marketspeak. Perhaps "1% the cost for 1% the capacity". Ignoring the things you get when you build out a full DC that these don't have, I very much doubt if you bought, say, 300k sq ft of these it would be 1%.
So, as someone else pointed out, saving bookmarks of porn and using their bookmarks sync service would be a problem.

It's easy to laugh and dismiss that. But what if you're a journalist covering war? You're going to have plenty of bookmarks of graphic violence, and therefore run afoul of this license.
It's an old school versioning system that was very popular for DOS software. I'm not surprised that TypeScript, being ultimately still an Anders Hejlsberg project, would adopt it.
Short answer: No.

Long answer: Unless the button says "phone home my information to Mozilla", this license wouldn't cover that. This license only covers whatever is necessary to make the button itself work - whatever is necessary to realize the user's intent.

I noticed a style difference in a long philosophical (Socratic-style) discussion with Claude. A noticeable upgrade that brought it up to my standards of a mild free-form rant. Claude unchained! And it did not push as usual with a pro-forma boring continuation question at the end. It just stopped leaving me the carry the ball forward if I wanted to. Nor did it butter me up with each reply.
