Just a bunch of hype marketing. I didn't read anything of real substance, granted I didn't read the whole thing because it seemed pointless.

Exactly. There is no real evidence, so we can't conclude one way or another. A lot of people are treating the Nuland call like a smoking gun, but it isn't one.

I can see how it can be called a coup because of the protesters' violence and arguing that difference is pretty pedantic so I have no problem with that. The main point I was making was in response to the person confidently claiming Nul

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the correction. I'd edit my comment but HN prevents that after a period of time.

Giving her support of a particular candidate is not "orchestrating" any coup. By that logic, the Democratic party giving support to Biden means the Democratic party enacted a coup on the US. Following the law of a country is not a

I'd say the US and Russian populations are just as susceptible to conspiracy theories and propaganda, but Russia's propaganda is on another level and much more blatant. Their line seems to be further than the US'.

For sure. I think computers and the internet will continue to be more innovative than most other industries, but the rate will be slower than what we are used to. There was a time when performance would double every couple of years, but now

What other similarly sized or smaller company has successfully built a browser which is not Chromium-based fit for the average consumer? If you're just piggybacking on Google's work, then sure, it's probably not bad, but Mozi

Idk, I think people underestimate what it takes to support a browser. It's a lot of money and Mozilla doesn't have an ad empire to leverage, operating system sales to subsidize from, or phone/computer sales. All they have is

Only problem is that there's no good alternative for them. You'd be committing Firefox to a slow death

by nabakin 3y ago
It would be nice, but it's not realistic. If Google's revenue disappears, then unless Mozilla finds some other form of revenue (which they've been trying to do for years now), Firefox is done for.

We need to raise awareness about this fork so people know about, join in, and support the move. Share it with your friends and co-workers. Upvote or star everything you can. Let's push this forward people!

I've seen this argued a lot but is it fact? OpenAI was able to train on data from other platforms and surely, those platforms weren't letting their data go if they could help it. Unless some new laws have been passed, I don't

Sure and if their intent was to make a tool for money laundering or they attempted to subvert the law, I'm all for it

No it is not. Maybe you need to look up the definition of money laundering.

Your analogy would only make sense if Tornado Cash (Puppy Kicker 3000) was created for the purpose of money laundering (kicking puppies), but it seems like it was created for consumer privacy reasons.

Yes. As happens in every single existential war because it is necessary to survive. It is truly a dark time when it's more important to suspend rights than to keep them, but that is what an invasion does. It shifts priority from more p

You don't seem to understand what an invasion does to a country. This is an existential fight. Any country fighting for swaths of its territory is forced into authoritarianism and hopefully bounces back once things stabilize, but don

For sure, that's a good reason for using the uncensored fine-tuned versions. There are other good reasons too like expanded context size, codegen, and story writing/rp. Just be careful of extraordinary benchmarks. Btw, have you tr
