Can we settle for "fundamendal design choice"?

I think you're missing that a lot of what we call "learning" would be categorized as "busy work" after the fact. If we replace this "busy work" with AI, we are becoming collectively more stupid. Which may

The way you describe it, can we say that R was AI-first without even knowing?

The problem with AI integrations in Firefox is not in whether they could be disabled or not. Given that Mozilla Foundation isn't swimming in cash, "investing" in AI (a well known money sink) makes very little sense and will d

I wonder, are there tools to help you automate this? I.e. to assign a value to the staleness of each package instead of simple "oudated" boolean, and also a weight to each package. E.g. something like: pkg_staleness = (1 * mis

Isn't the title kind of self-conflicting? Dependency cooldowns work because not everybody is using them. The more people start using dependency cooldowns, the less effective they become.

This was a rant at best for the sake of ranting, if not for some more insidious ends. What's the point made here? Abandon Firefox because it's market share is 2%? "I can finally say I'm Firefox-free."? Like if Firef

Ehmmm... If we learnt something in the past century, it is that companies don't have morals because they are not real persons. And even the real persons running them may be legally liable to the shareholders if they act based on their

True. I don't know from where people get the idea that the police would bother with an investigation for your (personally important) case if you had full-on surveilance. You may have your laptop snatched, go to the police station and s

Curious: So you only release your interpreter as a binary? Is there some license that explicitly forbids use for AI training? (Although it would probably be unclear if that is really enforceable until someone challenges it.)

It's the PC games library that will be the catalyst for winning. On a PC, for $15 a month you can get a HumbleBundle subscription and get 5-6 Steam games to keep yours forever (unlike Playstation Plus "free" games). Plus 3-4

It's a very lukewarm response TBH. I would expect a more authoritative opinion instead of rehashing what "experts say". YOU are the security expert Brian, so stop writing like CNN Tech.

All university-related sources dated 2025. And casually mixing a lobbying case that has nothing to do with universities. No, this is not made-up FUD at all.

Depends on how you look at it. A true constant won't change between runs of the code. I.e. it is essentially a symbolic name for a literal. A constant variable OTOH, varies in different executions of the code. So, its invariance is lin

Nice tricks! I wasn't aware of the cache mounts, so I was building with UV_NO_CACHE=1. Cache mounts should also come handy when installing OS packages in multi-stage builds. I still couldn't find the "global pip environment&q
