Except on a few neighborhoods (I’m pretty sure it’s the wealthy ones) there is not so much poop anymore. 15 years ago it was actually very anoying, you couldn’t walk without co stantly scanning the floor, which would be extremely anoying now that people what to use their phone while walking.
I think it was world of warcraft. As a kid I had a very bad computer, so windows (Vista I think ?) Gave me something like 15 fps while Linux+Wine gave me 20. It already felt like wizardry that I had better performance while needing a compatibility layer.
I have also some memories of discovering a new land of freedom. When i plugged a CD from the library, Ubuntu’s default music player had a popup “wanna install anti-DRM plugins & make a copy of those tracks?”
Yeah, every debate about reducing the number of cars always ends at something like “too many jobs are involved in the car industry, so we need to preserve these jobs, and also people need cars to go work in these factories”. I feel like there will hardly be a deep environmental breakthrough if it doesn’t come with a deep social change.

Well at this period of time one of the interns will have removed Firefox’s user agent from the whitelist most Google services by mistake again.
If so, I just hope antitrust lawsuits will be fast enough so that it doesn’t build up a bad reputation for Firefox …
To be honest, phishing emails are so bad that I don’t see how any generational AI couldn’t be better. Just making less than two typos per sentence would e enough.
Someone explained me that it may be intentional that phishing emails are so bad as it acts as a pre-filter, then you only spend time and ressources dealing with presumably very gullible people.
To be fair anyone can already call me with my phone number. Although it’s pretty anoying too.
As a very aware consumer I think it’s fair, but a larger audience would be hard to convince :
To convince someone to use Kagi, you must change their mind about these three points, and then convince them to spend 60$/year for it.
Trying to get back to Google after a few years on DDG then Qwant felt really off. Kagi was the real deal for me but it is still to expensive for the average consumer 😕
If you subscribe for a whole year it only costs 599$ !
Which sucks btw, it is sometimes as bad as libreoffice at being compatible with office (desktop) documents… 🙄
Well kinda, except for these articles that pop now and then in my timeline, I haven’t heard of XformerlyTwitter for a while.
It was fun for a few weeks, joking about what bulls**t idea Musk had during the weekend with colleagues, but after a while the joke was a bit repetitive.
Is it me or it is only competitive on the Wikipedia dataset, which probably only contains examples from the training data of the model?
I suppose the compression process looks like this :
If the model is good at predicting what the next token is, I suppose you need only 2bits to encode each token (for any of the top 4 predictions).
I don’t know about Poland but I know about France (I would guess we’re not so far appart on this point).
While 95% of railways are electrified, those last 5% are not very worth it to invest in, because really low traffic and hard to operate (eg. in mountains). I’ve already heard of compromises, like hybrid locomotives that can run on battery for more than half the line and rely on diesel for the remaining.
Not cool wishing people death :/
Plus it won’t be efficient as most cancer form after you’re not fertile anymore.
I used a work laptop without swap for a while and it was very anoying. RAM intensive tasks were Rust IDE integration and compilation, data engineering, …
I have to admit my comment is not really relevant to the article itself (also, I read only the free part of it).
It was more a reaction to the comment above, which felt more generic. My concern about LLMs is that I could never find an auditable list of websites that were crawled, which would be reasonable to ask for, I think.
Are they selling back scrapped content? I thought it was only user behaviors through the ad network?
About cataloging at least it is opt-out though robot.txt 🤷
EDIT: plus, “we are already doing bad” is never a good argument to continue doing bad, if Google were to be in fault this could get the traction to slap their ass
Ah yes wtf is Teams doing!? Some arbitrary features are blocked on Firefox, like you can’t direct call someone but you can be part of a group call 🤪
But I don’t think Microsoft’s online suite is a reference, most of it feels buggy or bloated at best.
