The problem with this is that NPU have terrible, terrible support in the various software ecosystems because they are unique to their particular soc or whatever. No consistency even within particular companies.

Rydberg atoms aren't antennas. When modulated and then read out by the electrical field of a laser they can be used to infer the ambient electrical field at a arbitrary frequency over very, very narrow frequency bandwidths. This can be

That's a clever way to get a lower bound for power users. I'm surprised. But also, I did qualify my statement and said people who install firefox. I wonder how many of those 200 million users did, or how many of them had it instal

Yeah. I see this in every thread. Business types that aren't used to how normal human beings communicate see the human firefox users writing and they can never address the points. Instead they always get hung up on the tone and debate

The post lists a number of ad-tech moves Mozilla has made in recent years, the ever increasing upper management salaries, and the insistence on trying to make Firefox preprocess everything you see on the web instead of showing you the web i

smbc did a comic about this: http://smbc-comics.com/comic/copyright The punchline is that the moral and ethical norms of pre-1913 texts are not exactly compatible with modern norms.

This seems like a cultural mismatch more than anything. Mozilla makes software that human people use and human people use normal language rather than avoiding the non-profitable aggravation associated with emotive language that a company em

Yep. But I didn't want to restrict the conversation to that sub-thread's framing and wanted to have a more positive framing showing the original post really did make decent points and discuss them rather than the culture mismatc

The new CEO's big three statements are anything but focused on Firefox the browser and I agree with everything in this silly "Make Me CEO..." post like, First: All this AI stuff should be opt-in not opt-out and purely local.

Given the way you're framing this no, it's not worth it for you to blog. Using words like "shipping","low-signal", "networking". And odd ideas like blog posts having to "work" and provide so

Getting a special "notice me on social media (like HN)" fix won't actually fix the problem with using Apple's systems. It's just a temporary reprieve until some other aspect of their control of one's life break

Or they just point to the turing test which was the defacto standard test for something so nebulous. And behold: LLM can pass the turing test. So they think. Can you come up with something better (than the turing test)?

IRC doesn't have quite as many people because people have moved to computers that are not capable to keeping TCP connections open (smartphones). But there are good and active communities left in the ~400k people left IRCing.

Yep. Or you can see it as, "This software doesn't really care about the users and their use cases. It prioritizes making things look pretty and easier on the dev side over maintaining functionality." Or in the worse but fairl

Try to run any random python program of moderate dep use on your python 3.9 system interpreter without using containers. Most likely you'll have to use a venv or the like and setup a special version of python just for that application.

Write-only perhaps, but with perl you only have to write it once and it'll run forever, anywhere . No breaking on updates, no containers, no special version of Perl just for $application, just the system perl. Because of this, in prac
