Unfortunately, it probably even makes sense that they'd want that for non-nefarious reasons. If you shut down your extension and they had to put up their own copy, they'd have to re-acquire your installed base. That could be a sha

Thanks for correcting me on this. My take (as a subscriber) is still that the majority of information I'm seeing is assimilated and distilled from the more mainstream sources, but I'm possibly underestimating how much comes from t

Yeah, if it doesn’t already exist this could be the forcing function. I know a lot of people like that functionality you describe.

I’m fairly sure Kagi reuses Google and Bing search results, then de-craps and applies your customized preferences to them. I’m not sure it even runs its own spider.

In rural Georgia they were just outside wandering around in my otherwise meadowish yard with lots of wild plants among the grass. I think I remember finding them just outside my house, so they may have preferred walls or shade, but they wer

You're luckier than I am with the chargers! Fortunately, I almost always AC charge at home.

I think the max charge rate for an Ioniq 5 is actually more like 225kW. The bit about 350kW stations enabling the 15m 20->80 charging is because the next step down in an EA/Chargepoint station is 150kW. And in practice, mine rarely

If the blog author is lurking on here, I tried to bookmark the article since it's very relevant to my current situation, but it didn't have a title set for the page. NBD to copy/paste one in, but it took me by surprise.

Thanks for this. Kevin has been a part of the Bay Area SF fandom community for a very long time, and I’ve never known him to be anything other than a good, honorable person. I was saddened to see his name on the list of people associated wi

Next Christmas, or next time you’re feeling Christmas-minded, find the Adult Swim Yule Log movie, aka The Fireplace. It’s on Max, among other places. It’s Casper Kelly’s (the creator of Too Many Cooks) first full length feature—a 90 minute

Except they were responding to a comment criticizing USB-C PD as a standard. Non-standard cables are irrelevant to that discussion.

My experience is querying an LLM usually does ok if the only knowledge it needs is directly included in the prompt (including for summarization). It’s not perfect but its reliability is within the realm of human error and so isn’t significa

by geoelectric 3y ago
I wouldn’t trust an LLM when asking open-ended questions like that, but it’s correct that the specific wording and presentation of a recipe is copyrightable if it’s creative enough. The information conveyed by it is not. That’s the phone bo

I suspect it’s because Apple is credited with inventing the word “app,” in the particular sense of a small mobile software application (the Mac App Store came later), as part of other trademarks they owned and it hadn’t genericized into a d

Oh, hi! Long time. Don’t take my words as being too critical of the Android version FWIW, at least the Gecko one. I think that’s been one of the few mobile successes. But what I personally perceived as discounting desktop as a viable strate

I personally tend to think if Moz had focused on desktop browser development rather than thrashing around on mobile versions on restricted platforms where they’d always be second-class citizens, smartphone OS moonshots well after that was v

FWIW, my take back in 2010-2015 when I was at Moz wasn’t quite that cynical. I’m sure that was at least some of it, at least after Chrome started really gaining users, but Mozilla and Google had a good relationship for a long time before Ch

Pretty sure it popped up to closer to $300M/yr around the time you left, at least based on the internal rumor mill around the value of the three-year Google contract immediately prior to the Y! debacle. That said, since it was MoCo and

Market share was/is a means to an end. Mozilla positioned Firefox in part as a reference for how web standards should behave (*), particularly for ones where Chrome/IE/Safari diverged with competing non-standard implementatio

Worth noting Fabrice was one of the primary devs on FxOS, and I believe the primary dev on KaiOS. I'm pretty sure he's familiar with the history.

I also worked for Mozilla in that time period (I left just before they canceled FxOS) and found Mitchell to be an inspiring leader. OTOH, the track record over the last few years suggests she's not as great an executor.

“Acquired” is only really used for the purchase of businesses, at least in headlines, and especially in tech news. The awkward translation is indeed a garden path sentence when delivered to this crowd. About the only real counterargument is

Would it? How much total throughput and power would that be, vs a skinny USB-C PD 3.2 Gen 2x2 cable that can carry a 100W or more along with 20 Gbps of data? How about 2 or 3 of them in a wrapper? The Quest can be a PCVR headset with a 3.2
