It seems like I can't help myself and keep sliding back into old habits without realizing. I am sorry, I will think twice next time.

Have you considered Cloudflare R2? It seems like that's one of the very few unmetered-bandwidth file hosting providers? It doesn't do HLS out of the box (it's just S3-compatible storage, unlike the pricier Cloudflare Stream).

I don't think so — I don't disagree with you there. It was more the parent (the child to your post) I was responding to, about statistics and semantics.

Lol, that's actually kinda cool. Did you get any interesting Eastern responses to your diary entries? I'm imagining something like... > Dear diary, I got bullied again today, and the bread was stale in my PB&J :( >> M

I don't think this is the unprovable you think it is? If LLMs and statistics can't encode semantics, how can do chatbots perform long-form translations with appropriate contexts? How do codebreakers use statistics to break an adve

Wasn't that before the era of hyperscalers? Intel offers nothing of value anymore. What's to stop one for the giants from just swallowing them up like 3dfx or ATI?

Can you prove that statistics cannot encode semantics?

Will Intel even be around in a few years to support this thing, especially in software? They seem to be in their death spasms...

I actually forgot that site existed until you mentioned it... ChatGPT had 100% replaced it for me. I don't miss SO's terrible moderation at all.

I work for a headless CMS, but I think that's a poor fit for your use case. Many of our small customers start off in your situation, where a helpful dev makes them a headless site. A couple years later, the dev moves on, and the client

Personally I'd vote for Apache, or a new FOSS group. They don't need all the funding that Mozilla currently gets (most of which isn't spent on Firefox anyway). I'd rather see that effort than something like Ladybird, per

...owning some tiny percentage of stock, often not knowingly. Those same 60% would also benefit from having a less monopolistic Internet. Well, that's the theory at least. I think a lot of regular users actually might prefer one compan

They're not mutually exclusive? Especially with antitrust, where the whole point is to enable a healthier marketplace such that all shareholders of Google's competitors can also benefit (not to mention users). It's not that

I think this is only proving the parent's point, that the legal system is completely unable to deal with the megacorps. Shrug. I don't read those results the same way you do.

Sorry, I don't agree that any of that fundamentally changes the wild argument that "we've wronged too many people to be held accountable!". But, hey, I'm just a rando on the internet. Feel free to disregard this com

There's not really a strong incentive to while Mozilla is still around (and despite that, there are still a few forks... Waterfox, for example). I think it would take a collapse of Mozilla, Oracle-style, to really spur that. (edit: Ora

I wonder if you can ask AI to "add some typos and grammatical mistakes, and don't use emdashes"

So it's not really a strawman at all, and it was in fact one of their main arguments. They just also made other arguments on top of that... Seems to me the parent was totally justified in calling it a wild argument.

Because the overall well-being of a society is supposedly more important than a few shareholders' wealth?

Ideally Mozilla would go bankrupt and a better-managed org could fork Firefox and pick up from there.

I don't see the difference between what the lawyers are saying and the parent's summary of it. > we've wronged too many people to be held accountable Sounds like exactly what it is... it's too big of a class to be man

Who's hiring even those people?

$20, just my chatgpt sub. I don't bother with the newer agentic tools or more expensive models. Old fashioned, I guess.

Sorry OP, but honestly? This just seems like AI slop, like someone took interesting folk tales and vibe coded generic LLM and TTS around them to make a buck. Nothing ruins the magic of storytelling like the shallow cynicism of lazy capitali

For search, Kagi.com. The ability to uprank and downrank sites, or block some domains altogether, is very helpful. I've been using it for a few months and have pretty much stopped using Google Search entirely.
