They did say "less shady" but at this point Anthropic and OpenAI are approaching parity.

I think it'd be cool to compare a modern day life in rural Ethiopia to what I'm used to.

I use Aurora on GOS. I get that they say sandboxed Play is more secure than Aurora, but I prefer it for its lack of toxicity and absence of shitty dark patterns. I think the increased popularity of GOS is going to draw in more users like me

He definitely sounds more pragmatic than before, which is, in a sense, more positive. > This is actually one of the benefits brought by AI; it has made Nvidia a good participant in the Linux kernel space. [...] Now, when Linux is so impo

I'm a climber so I'm biased but I really liked your climbing harness example because of the configuration you're able to easily make to the harness. Saying the harness is like a car's chassis doesn't work as well fo

There's more than one model for news and some of those models don't even result in advertising-controlled biases. Public media sites employ journalists for instance.

Maybe you're right. The important thing is to remember this moment the next time you're signing up for a free product that seems just a little too good to be true.

I have another, similar example, though not quite as insidious. I switched to GrapheneOS and it's been mostly great. Unfortunately Graphene's stock camera creates drab shots compared to what the hardware supports. OpenCamera is av

Sticking to OSM has helped me get lost in new and interesting ways every time I make the mistake of relying on its address search without double checking on a lat/long translation app, or if I forget to load this: https://gi

That's what it should be doing. There's plenty of analysis out there about Iran's strategy (my favorite so far: https://smallwarsjournal.com/2026/05/21/mosaic-defense-dispe... ) but I get no sen

I'm updating Metabase's Podman documentation to reflect using Quadlet instead of "the old way." It's my first open source contribution in quite awhile and while it's tiny I'm excited for it. It's a ch

That's a good point. I got to hang out with a printer in Slovenia for a few hours in February and your comment made me realize how deep and strong his faith is despite the changes that automation has brought to printing. He had classes

Yeah there were parts that were so organic it looked alive. I was imagining the folks at Toho taking detailed notes.

> Given that, the judgment is a half to two-thirds of what Meta could have obtained from New Mexico. Do you think that now that one state has won this judgement (for now) other states could follow?

I share a similar feeling. I don't have a Framework but I do self-host Metabase. Reading this headline is how I learned of the 0-day and updated my pod.

I wish we lived in a reality where Framework was anywhere near rich enough to acquire them. I'd love to have models on a chip that I could swap in at a whim. That would do the opposite by eliminating moats. I guess there's a tiny

This is interesting because of just how old-school SaaS it is. They're using old modes to build a wider moat around their product, hoping that it will keep their customers within it. The AI boom feels different from the SaaS boom thoug

I think it's bad, because everybody is desperate to hold onto every last bit of google search traffic they can, so they're going to allow training to do so. Google's predatory, unfair and illegal actions will continue as they

Fallen way behind in what, exactly? Before you answer it might be a good idea to look at what Mistral's core competencies are look at what Chinese models do, and decide if they are even in the same race.

It's a different scale. This is a French company that is about 1/10 the cost (and inference window) of the US SOTA players. They also diversify their stakeholders more and in general just have a different focus than your OpenAIs a
