I notice the browser version is a little resource intensive. I use it on freebsd and I need to renice the browser to -10 for it to be somewhat stable. (This is an improvement because I remember 6 years ago it didn't work on freebsd.) I

Sounds like they know there is risk of crash and they need an offramp.

This readme, when it talks about all the different AI endpoints it can use, reminds me of something. I'm not an AI bro, but I've dabbled. It's kind of remarkable that all the different providers speak the same "openai co

I think I saw elsewhere that the owner has been the same for 35 years or something like that. So there is no relevant transfer of ownership. Your opening statement here is pretty ridiculous I need to say. "Written agreements doesn&#x27

I'm not playing games. All I said to enter this thread was: > I don't think normies have a positive association with meta. And a bunch of you guys contested this for some reason.

Here's what I found when I googled "polling on Mark Zuckerberg": > Roughly 54% to 70% of Americans express an unfavorable view of him > Zuckerberg is viewed negatively by both major parties. Democrats and Republicans al

I think you need to recalibrate in your own mind what using a product means. It doesn't mean you like it, or the company behind it. It may also be due to monopoly status. Do you like your utility company? Your phone company? Your ISP?

Yes, the fact that they renamed from Facebook helps them buy some time before people figure it out. But they don't feel good about the company.

This is different from liking them.

On this theme of it not being just about security: if you have a bug like a use after free and it happens to cover a function pointer, the nx bit can ensure that when you follow that pointer through a call, you get a clean trap as close to

These people write in gibberish. They are high on their own supply.

But US law also has a concept of negligence. If you set up an AI to do this and didn't take reasonable steps to prevent it you could still be on the hook.

The perl $, @, %, etc. being compared to declensions is amusing. I feel like you need to know something about perl and latin (both considered outdated) to get this joke. For those who don't: in perl, the same text identifier can have a

I remember noticing this shift in nerd culture. In the early 2000s, it was common for people to say on places like Slashdot that they don't trust JavaScript and run their browser with it off. In the early 2010s, I noticed HN commenters

I actually find AI-based plant and mushroom identifiers very interesting. They make being curious about such things as a beginner or layperson more accessible, and you learn some patterns. However it's very obvious that you shouldn&#x

This is a ridiculous statement. I think it's more like: they have tons of sales sustaining the business.

It's not government stimulus driving this. It's that when you start with a "successful" company, the financial consequences of bad decisions or bad leadership can take a long time to have a negative effect, if at all, be

I still use firefox when I'm on a proper unix desktop, like *BSD or Linux running x11. This is just force of habit from when I started using those in the '90s, with the old closed source Netscape 4.7 binaries, and eventually mozil

I think it's a mistake to make concrete predictions about something like a stock market crash on a given timeline. As they say, the market can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent. However, Zitron is directionally c

Win32 has a little less churn than AppKit used to. If you support the API surface of winxp from 25 years ago you can run a lot of stuff. Most teams inside Windows at MSFT also try to leave older APIs alone and introduce stuff in an additive

I would not study law with no interest in justice, being motivated by megabucks. This is sociopathic. People judge me for less all the time and I usually don't care.

It's almost as if it heard that AI hallucinations are a thing, and decided to add additional symptoms.

Yes, anyone who has been paying attention knows that this administration has been designating people who disagree with them politically or socially, or in some cases groups like antifa that don't really exist, as terrorist groups. This
