Yes there have been several research projects like these that have fully open sourced their training data (mostly coming from Europe). But that's all they amount to. Experiments and projects. The labs that are actually competing with

One of the more depressing things to me is the "forever chemical" debacle. Even though we've banned PFAS in pizza boxes, food packaging, firefighting foam, and many consumer products, we're stuck in an endless cycle of t

DeepSeek has released a ton of low-level AI infrastructure code, libraries, and mathematical models on GitHub. Their tools and agent environments are fully open sourced including their harness. They release complete PyTorch and Hugging-face

This is absolutely not true. DeepSeek is most famous for publishing really in-depth papers on their training process but the other labs have started to do the same as well. If by "training corpus" you mean the actual data I alread

Yes it's heartening to see the rebound but the population reaching as low as 100k will forever place a genetic hurdle on restoration efforts. Not to mention beavers have been found to be highly cultural animals with local nuances in so

Yeah the best policy is to avoid using a "Share" button as much as possible and always just copy the URL bar. I have a browser extension that strips them automatically too but I don't think it always works. I wish my extensio

I responded to a lazy comment with a higher effort comment. I think I left the conversation better than I found it. Not sure which part you'd like sourced, but here's a paper I think does a good job of covering some of these topic

In fact, automated a11y checks and tooling is quite advanced nowadays and tragically underutilized by web developers. Now that we have llms to scale all the shitty code of front-end devs at startups, I feel increasingly hopeless about thing

Other than open training data (currently legally impossible), all of this holds for basically every major Chinese-made model. They not only open the weights but publish detailed methodology papers alongside the models in arXiv and even open

It's not even taxes. It's the fact that municipalities and cities are making deals with these companies to give them, e.g., 10 years of tax breaks to build there. If you live in Texas, you are subsidizing these companies

Despite the lobbying effort, it's still true that over 90% of data centers are not closed loop. Per-acre data centers use much more water. More important politically, is that your water bill will absolutely go up faster with a new data

They both use Gecko under the hood and can install any Firefox Add-on. If you want something truly different, try a Goanna-based browser like Pale Moon or Basilisk Tired: Firefox Wired: Floorp, Midori, Mullvad Browser, SeaMonkey, Waterfox,

Using Chromium-based browsers means you give Google, the surveillance company that works with ICE and the military, more power over the web to do stuff like push Manifest V2. Everyone has their own ethical standards around this but I think

> Chrome != Chromium engine This exactly what I disagree with and I think I supported my argument quite clearly. The more we say "Chrome is not Chromium" the more stuff like V2 will happen. At some point we need to admit that t

YouTube runs worse on FF if you have uBO. They do it on purpose. But if you were to use a clean Firefox install it's pretty comparable. Ofc YT is optimized for Chromium which is another factor

Brave maintains its own fork of uBlock Origin for Chromium and hosts it on its own servers but they themselves have admitted they're unsure how long this state of affairs can go on for. Their built-in adblock is quite good but still no

Chrome is the only alternative unless you have access to Safari. Brave, Opera, Edge, etc are all Chromium and will all deprecate Manifest V2 eventually. The V2 mess is just one example of how Google can continue to stangle the web even if y

I'm not sure about that. I think there's plenty of people who shit on Firefox to justify to their own ethical standards their preference for some Chromium-based browser.
