The far more likely scenario is that you forgot. Just because it's useful in strained, rare scenarios to have a hole in your foot doesn't mean it's not a better design choice to add a safety to prevent a device from shooting

Last release on GitHub was also 2019. Repository's seen activity since then, last thing I see is some documentation and GitHub actions committed in 2023, and there's dependabot activity all the way up to 2 weeks ago.

Because AI use is often a strong indicator of a lack of soundness. Especially if it's used to the point where its structural quirks (like a love for lists) shine through.

Can't answer that authoritatively since I don't know if there's something iOS-specific, but Firefox is the only browser on Android that lets you have uBlock Origin. And I know that Firefox on iOS doesn't.

You still haven't. The whole point of my comment is that you haven't, and I brought up specific points that remain un-addressed by any of your comments in your thread, despite your insistence. Linking to comments that largely co

Automating what's boring to spend more time on what brings you joy is a great idea. But using AI for that end seems counterproductive, as it seems to be reducing productivity rather than enhancing it. A similar narrative, that we can a

The App Store is the graphical package manager interface. Or in the case of apps that haven't published, the Finder/Applications folder itself. It makes a lot of sense, similar to the way GoboLinux stashed packages in its new worl

You really haven't. You are up and down this thread saying these things, but you haven't already proven them or even addressed them. You have points, I agree that web technology is well suited in 2025 to make interactive applicati

Firefox for Android can handle uBlock Origin, probably NoScript as well. It's the one thing keeping me on Android at this point.

Maybe. But we are talking about the whole of copyrighted creative works created and sold by humanity. That'll get expensive no matter who you are.

Given the lack of sense in treating each peer as a lost sale for damages, I think we can safely say they're only interested in making examples out of people and would absolutely go after people for only downloading if the law permitted

The fact that this is propping up the entire AI industry adds additional weight. When legislating or deciding court cases, some won't be willing to pop the cash cow, some will be worried about falling behind countries that don't e

Kind of mindblowing considering who it is we're talking about. Of all companies, OpenAI couldn't be bothered to throw an LLM at this problem? Finding amorphously phrased but clearly recognizable needles in large numbers of haystac

That's the magic of money. Download your favorite artist's discography for personal use? If the MPAA had its way (and it occasionally has), torrenting that could bankrupt you. The AI industry - soaking up every bit of media availa

Could you explain more what's wrong with the STM32 family as a target? The Playdate's got a complete implementation and an STM32 heart. And other members of the family have seen other non-system-specific implementations, although

The Gameboy Advanced has a full emulator with the standard devices, and incompleteness is often not a dealbreaker as long as it supports the devices you need. There are incomplete emulators for ESP32 and STM32 based devices, DOS, and even a

With their stance of permacomputing, you don't think the two go hand in hand? A simple VM that can be implemented quickly on almost any hardware or underlying tech stack you can scrounge together? The only thing they'd be really a

Plenty of small FAFO stories circulate already. There will certainly be more. Lots of demonstration code out there in the training data meant only for illustrative purposes, and all too often vibe coding overlooks the rock bottom basics of

Good news for you then, this idea is less and less born out by the data. The productivity and efficiency gains aren't there, so there's no reason to be compelled by the spectre of obsolescence. The models may be getting better, bu

No worries about the length, I appreciate you taking the time and appreciate the insight! That does help start to work ARR into a mental model that, while still not sane, is at least as understandably insane as everything else in the financ

Do you have any more info on the 8 figures? I hadn't come across that, but that's quite interesting to hear. For the mass layoffs, I was under the belief that those were largely driven by the tax code alterations in the US.

Eh, I kinda see what they're saying. They haven't become cheaper at all, but GPUs have increased in performance, and the amount of performance you get for each dollar spent has increased. Relative to its siblings, things have gott

If the LLM thinks to consult a search engine. If the next token predicted is the start of a link rather than the start of a tool call, it's going to be spitting out a link. Getting them to reliably use tools rather than freeball seems

Exactly the problem. It doesn't need to be good enough to work unsupervised in order to gain real adoption. It just needs to be a performance or productivity boost while supervised. It just needs to be able to take an AI-friendly FOSS

If I spend an afternoon on CliffNotes, I haven't read a hundred books in a day. This isn't one weird trick to accelerate your reading, it's entirely missing the point. If any book could be summarized in a few points, there wo

The claim that you made was "if you still don't see how LLMs is changing [the IT] industry, you haven't been paying attention." Pointing out that there is no visible evidence of that change in the industry you mentioned

I understand the importance of having data, and that any measurement can be gamed, but this one seems so tailored for tailoring that I struggle to understand how it was ever a good metric. Even being generous it seems like it'd be too
