I think it's bad, because everybody is desperate to hold onto every last bit of google search traffic they can, so they're going to allow training to do so. Google's predatory, unfair and illegal actions will continue as they

I'm going back to em dashes after this post, and anybody who calls me out is getting a link to it -- they can suck it up. That said I've only been on Linux for 25 years so I still haven't figured out how to actually get em da

Fallen way behind in what, exactly? Before you answer it might be a good idea to look at what Mistral's core competencies are look at what Chinese models do, and decide if they are even in the same race.

It's a different scale. This is a French company that is about 1/10 the cost (and inference window) of the US SOTA players. They also diversify their stakeholders more and in general just have a different focus than your OpenAIs a

Kagi likes to hear of searches that don't work well and it's worth sharing on their discord[1]. I have problems with searches there too, and I'm too lazy to share, so I'm kinda being a hypocrite but maybe it'll help

Somebody on HN recommended drip awhile ago: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.drip/ It's not mentioned in the article. Like Euki it's local-only. I don't know how they compare as far as features but

I see a lot of people saying 7 letters is too long, but I feel like the additional hints about where to go when you guess wrong helps make up for that. It took me a minute to get what was going on and I wasted a few guesses but I like that

Most AI is SaaS, so in a way this whole argument is circular. It's just one SaaS product gobbling up some other ones. That said, "White Bread" is a fun book about the enshittification (not using that word lightly) of bread:

I sure hope you're right though. To me x402 can subsidize the cost of producing and serving content with payments from the systems that are using it and giving the least back. It can mean more free content for humans with the right pay

And good for them. If you have the freedom to follow your virtue, no matter how you gained that freedom, why not follow it? If it sounds like hypocrisy, why? They gained the freedom from the grind and would have stayed if they believed in w

I'm not familiar with that system. Here in the US I can go to the bank and do anything I need personally with an ID. Is that not doable where you are?

Yeah I think I agree. The big difference I see is in the chip. The PowerPC arguably had its benefits (vectorization) which made it super attractive for bioinformatics, etc., and a lot of that software was Linux-based. People could either bu

Mistral is generally winning the fights it chooses to fight and that's what they need to do. Instead of looking at what EU's economy could contribute towards a SotA model it's more accurate to look at what France's econo

I think the takeaway is that swarming behavior is not difficult. It's relatively simple, it's cheap, and it's going to grow in effectiveness and smaller actors are going to gain access to it. That's going to be a probl
