Only if it is a “tracking cookie”, and lasts for more than one day. But how do they define these terms ??

But in the comma-first case that lets the last line be movable, that was my point basically.

That's a bit like when people like their abusers. "I like that they're strict, they have my best interests in mind, they restrict me for my own good." Don't worry, it also happens with large corporations of all kind

I didn’t seek this out. I was asked to teach this course by the directors of the program that the students paid for. The students want me to teach this. I have been upfront from day 1 with everybody. Oh trust me, I am very upfront about

My opinion: just have commas be optional, like semicolons. Allow linebreaks to insert implied commas

What did Zuck mean that Llama 4 Behemoth is already the highest performing base model and hasnt even done training yet? What are the benchmarks then? Does he mean they did pretraining but not fine tuning?

Advertising is a zero-sum game, just as most crypto and stock market activity. It's the basis for web2 economy just like crypto is the basis for web3 economy, though. So it's hard to make a man admit something when his livelihood

With AI being weaponized by anyone who wants to make a profit, what do you expect?

Accidentally visiting a website doesn’t give it permission to send notifications. Seriously, it is not that difficult to let users choose whether to receive notifications, how often, and manage them later. Apple just had negative incentive

You mean half of all AI products? The ones trained to clone anyone’s voice for example. Oh sure, those vibrators and wand massagers were marketed for medical purposes too. But we all know how 99% will be used… It’s just that we are all powe

I'm definitely not glad about it. They are doing it to make sure their apps still have an edge over websites.
921.
by EGreg 2y ago
Wait, this may be a huge game changer. But only if websites no longer have to ask the user to install the app on the home screen (arcane) and then launch it, and enable notifications.

Well, you can just use a service worker, instead of broadcast channels or shared workers. They have all the functionality you need, now. Any iframe that loads in a secure context and itself creates a secure context, can load a service worke

Look, if the visible universe is expanding, as we think it is, that is already a direction. Viewing galaxies “from the other side” is not the same in an expanding bubble. It’s like being surprised that many things are redshifted no matter w
