Part of the issue may also be that to many companies rely on selling ads as their main source of revenue and there simply isn't enough money in "good ads" to fund all the services we've come to expect to be free. There s

I think you're ignoring that most users of AI currently aren't paying anything, nor would they. I believe the value of a Facebook user was $70 per year in 2023, for the US and Canada. Assuming that the AI companies could make twic

I do run into the overly pedantic stuff pretty frequently, people will often latch on to some minor point or detail, maybe because it's easier to comment on? Deep technical critique often can't be in the comments, in my opinion. U

For some reason I think people are less likely to finance a computer, but maybe not, given that phone financing is a thing.

The author of ZMQ had an article about regretting not using C over C++. Picking Rust for a "modern" version of SQLite could easily go down a similar route in the end. https://web.archive.org/web/2025013005384

So at that point a ton of people are going to be forced onto Linux? I don't really disagree with you. More and more I see people living with just their phones. Personally it's not for me, but it's getting more and more preval

The adoption is just so weird to me. I cannot for the life of me get LLM chatbot to work for me. Every time I try I get into an argument with the stupid thing. They are still wrong constantly, and when I'm wrong they won't correct

That just makes it incredibly silly. A good argument from the current administration would have been to pick Public Sans and argue: We paid good money to have a good, generic, license free font developed for the government, and the previou

Aren't you of by a zero? 10K requests per core / per second, time 256 cores is 2.560.000 RPS. There's probably going to be some overhead, but it seems like you could do 1M, if you have the bandwidth.

What could the reasoning behind allowing anything beyond 64.000 characters possibly been? Even 64k seems unnecessarily large.

In the case of something like xzutils, you would perhaps have listed it as low risk, as it's shipped with your OS. After the backdoor incident, you'd have adjusted the risk assessment, and utilities like it. Once you hit a certain

This might not be part of HL7, but I recall working on software for a healthcare product, and simply having a list of components want not enough. Each component had to be accompanied by a risk assessment. It's a really clever way of ke

The OS isn't allowing anything as far as I can see. It's a fork of a library that allows you to use the WhatsApp API, it actually works, it also just happen to also harvest your credentials and messages. Should the OS prevent you

Now I'm picturing an AI trained exclusively on LinkedIn posts. One could probably sell that model to an online ad agency for a pretty penny.

It might open up for a terrifying level of abuse, but if you can have Dtrace and eBPF implemented in the Linux kernel, you can surely design an API for allowing AIs to be plug-able within Firefox. Firefox is already a really good browser, M

Your experience illustrates precisely why the ads in the ad store should be worthless. I have never clicked on the ad in the app store. Regardless of how legitimate it looks, I will never click it. The vast majority for ads are clearly eith

Part of the "problem" is that people don't care about any of those products, except Firefox. Mozilla needs to figure out how much they need to maintain Firefox, nothing else. I suspect that's not the entirety of the $200

That's my experience as well. We got rid of our Roomba because you need to remove pretty much everything from the floor, only for it to spend 20 - 30 minutes vacuuming at incredible volume. Getting the 20 year old Miele vacuum from dow

At first I was going to disagree, because having the compute built into the TV makes some sense, but thinking about it made me change my mind. A modern TV has a lifetime of 15 - 20 years I think. E.g. my in-laws have a Sony TV, from around
