The new CEO’s comments on AI, followed by this… yea, Mozilla’s absolutely captured in the same hype-train as the rest of the industry. Cheers to another few years of woefully incompetent management of the only good browser we have.

That’s exactly the reason the research and development funded by government grants is rarely done in the private sector: It isn’t immediately profitable, and we don’t know for sure if it ever will. It’s important to put man-hours behind eve

Unfortunately, sometimes our judges, juries, and officers are also biased or incorrect; pardons are useful when the delivery of justice was mistaken or excessive.

I get that permissive licenses are popular now, but “freedom to make sure other people don’t have freedom” still doesn’t feel like a compelling argument. In specific cases, they make sense purely practically; but generally? It feels like a

Oh this makes me quite happy! I’ve been using an awful hack to do horizontal-mirroring (that sometimes borks), I’m so glad to find there’ll be a better way. Massive props to the author!

Luckily, society broadly creates more than enough wealth and resources to provide for you, even when you are disabled or elderly. In modern society, if you are a “sink,” it is solely because the system is designed to make you that way – per

I’ve used Shapecatcher since laat time it was mentioned on HN, and found it pretty dang useful and surprisingly accurate. Pi’s worked fine for me, among others… did you draw it with multiple strokes, or maybe make the sides too straight?

This seems quite cute, actually! You’ve got a nice idea here with good execution. I’ll make an account soon, when I have a bit more free time. Not a fan of the AI slop images, and I’d prefer if it were federated, but it’s libre and small en

> I would even say that the second example has a more masculine voice You could also make the argument that the second is more feminine, as it is non-committal and low-risk, something indicative of “hedging” that women often do.

With things like this, we trust papers over ourselves because of confirmation bias and the placebo effect. The sugar rush in particular is very culturally prominent, so the seeds of that bias are well-planted in all of us. Arguing against t

This is a short-term study covering a couple cites in Denmark. Maybe representative, maybe not, and it doesn’t establish long-term trends. I feel this isn’t the right point to take pause about “them”.

There is a key difference: When an AI is wrong, it’s “buyer beware; you knew AI isn’t infallible.” You have no recourse. When a human is incompetent, you can blame them or their employer. You have recourse.

It’s not mental illness, it’s the logical extension of principle. If you think non-free software is unjustifiable and should be avoided, you’re probably going to try to avoid using it (or, at least, promoting it). There are three exceptions
