Sorry for any misinformation; I did try to quickly verify that this was still true, and I made the silly mistake of just assuming the Google AI Overview was good enough confirmation: > Firefox does not support Widevine L1 (hardware-based

I fairly regularly come across websites that are broken even in normal Firefox, like, even on Hacker News. I've had to use Chrome for some local government stuff but I reckon they broke Firefox on accident rather than on purpose and ho

They can't pull it now because they don't have big enough marketshare. Gee I wonder why that didn't work out.

Yes I am asking them to have principles. I'm sorry this is such an insane concept to understand or appreciate. Maybe the next Mozilla will understand that having principles is not optional.

Simple: allow those users to be lost to preserve the product. The entire Internet is not Netflix. Most Netflix users today don't even use their laptops or desktops for Netflix: they use it on their TVs, phones, video game consoles. F

Mozilla making choices specifically to try to "keep up" with Chrome has objectively failed: Firefox's marketshare has plunged so far that it's getting harder to keep using it on the web, as developers simply stop testing

Benchmaxxing via memorization is boring and doesn't fool anyone for too long. It works, but then new benchmarks test old models and the real results fall in line. Benchmaxxing by focusing on specific types of things that benchmarks tes

I have been claiming that I don't think Chinese AI companies are benchmaxxing harder than American AI companies, which has gotten mixed reception: sometimes people agree, sometimes they disagree. It seems I was wrong. American AI compa

I've mostly actually stuck to low reasoning for most tasks since it seems to do a surprisingly good job even at low for the stuff I've been throwing at it, and I literally switched directly from Fable 5 to Sol more or less.

I was poking around with some symptoms into Gemini not too seriously. It suggested a diagnosis which I have since forgotten. I looked it up and it seems like something with less than 100 known cases in human history. I think someone needs t

I dunno why people are downvoting at all. I don't get what nerve this is striking so hard. The real truth is that if consumers don't benefit from knowing how well multicore workloads scale, then they can just look only at the sing

Hmm, I don't fully agree. There are a whole lot of embarassingly parallel processes that people interested in many core workstations are interested in; compiling large C++ codebases for example tends to scale very well since each trans

Its even dumber when you consider AI model output was not considered copyrighted or eligible for copyright to begin with, as far as I know. How exactly would this even be "theft"?

I suggest that whenever Google get fined less than. $1B, they get an instructional booklet reminding them of how to count that low.

Is this person trustworthy? I struggle to believe that in the relatively short time Fable was available it has already been distilled so effectively. If this really is actually true, very impressive work.

I've seen this phrase repeated over and over again and I don't think it is true, or at least, to the degree that "benchmaxxing" claims are true, American frontier AI companies are probably about as guilty of it as Chines

The way I see it, if you were to draw two graph lines showing the prevalence of H.262 and H.264 over time, it would show of course that H.262 has lasted much longer so far just by virtue of it being older yet still in active use, but the ar
