The contributors are paid by Mozilla Foundation. This is not complicated.

Everything I can find online says that there are contributors working for both Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation

Eich chose to resign due to internal and external protest in the form of petitions and resignations. No one forced him to do anything, and Mozilla itself certainly didn't force him out. His free speech was met with the free speech of o

I think you're restating (in a longer and more accurate way) what I understood the original criticism to be, that this grading test isn't testing what's it's supposed to, partly because a grade is too few tokens. The mod

It isn't, and it reflects how deeply LLMs are misunderstood, even by technical people

Agents have plateaued and will never be as good as deterministic code for browser automation. It's a fundamental issue with the way LLMs work.

My company will buy me a new phone and laptop every year if I want. My laptop is from 2022 and my phone from 2021. They work fine. Any performance boost isn't worth setting up a new device.

Office 365 will have been renamed 3 times by 2035, and none of the names will make any more sense than 365 does.

The economies of scale of a 2,000 lb (electric) vehicle are probably such that they use far less carbon than an individual delivery robot on a per-delivery basis

I didn't have this experience when I first learned C#. Everything just kind of worked the way I expected it to. There are sharp edges, but far fewer than expected and always for an actual reason.

This is possibly the worst product idea I've ever heard of. I can't imagine one person enjoying it, let alone 10s or 100s

If what you say is true, we would know almost nothing about pharmacology and modern medicine wouldn't exist. There are basic scientific and statistical methods to avoid this.

It's bizarre that the right wing wants to execute people convicted of a single murder, but tobacco and opioid execs, responsible for millions of deaths, don't receive jail time or even fines.

HN has been consistent that their only use-cases are the trading of speculative assets (gambling) and circumvention of law (crime). Wall St. and the other entities you mentioned engage in one or both of these activities. That doesn't m

K8s is used in many situations it shouldn't be, and a lot of HNers (including me) are bitter about having to deal with the resulting messes

There is a huge amount of precedent for these situations in Central and South America (dictators pardoning themselves for crimes against humanity). Sometimes a future regime can overcome the pardons, sometimes not. The current SCOTUS, fille

Yes, and it's never going to happen to a US secretary of state.

This is always what was going to happen. Google and Meta have enough cash and infrastructure to keep offering their most expensive models at affordable prices. OpenAI doesn't.

Trump and Hegseth are absolutely above the (federal) law because of Trump's pardon power. Hegseth is committing federal crimes with justified confidence.

WhatsApp is the core of Indian society. It's used by the government, all businesses, and everyone with a smartphone. It's used for payments, customer service, scheduling doctor's appointments, etc. You literally cannot replac

Meta is only rolling this out in Europe. This does nothing to shake their alarming monopolies in places like India.

You're completely ignoring the most important point I raised, which is that I can't use a competing product. I can't stop using Microsoft, Google, Meta, or Apple products and still be a part of my industry or US society.

You're trying to make it sound like a corporation's right to force AI on us is equivalent to an individual's right to speech, which is idiotic in its face. But I'd also point out that speech is regulated in the US, so

No one with a white-collar job in the US can get away from Google and Microsoft. We're forced to use one or the other, and some of us are forced to use both. That's not to mention all the other tech companies pushing AI (which is
