Aren't you paying attention to all the news? They have announced that this will be regulated. A technology that everyone is told "can kill us all" is going to be treated like WMDs. Enjoy those open source models while they ar

This is a fascinatingly nuanced move by EU and Canada. Now we wait to see how US and UK react. From a geopolitical perspective this the official signal from Europe that they no longer buy the trope of 'Trump the loose canon' and n

OP's point is that creating a favored restricted platform natrually allows for restricting of free speech because of a private "compnay policy". ("allows for" is doing heavy lifting here btw) Should a government cho

I'm reading Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones' Babylon - The Biography of a Metropolis which just recently came out, and that's how I ended up hearing about Yale's culinary adventures. The book, btw, is kind of breezy in style and

I was looking at the picture in Reuters of Putin meeting Jared Kushner and my thoughts were that our government is no longer a government of the people for the people but oligarchs for their creepy spawn. Also this Red-Blue nonsense is wear

We're this conversation so Firefox is not up to task. And Chromium is connected in some way with the poster child for ad tech and surveillance capitalism. So the point stands: OSS community has shown itself capable of tackling some of

Look, Windows (apparently) displays ads to some users. So even for OSes, if they can get away with it, they will shove ads in our face. Linux is a highly complex piece of software. It is OSS. And it does not shove ads in face of its users.

Does your hypothetical kernel make it easy or difficult for you to install add-ons that block ads? Does the organization that build it have a conflict of interest regarding advertisting/surveillance interests such as Google/Meta&#

What exactly is the problem? I understand a browser is a complex program but is the claim it is impossible to build a browser without continual dependence on advertising toxic dollars?

Hey, thanks for this recommendation! Just watched it and enjoyed it. Very interesting and unexpectedly spiritual. (This must be the one and only Herzog film I've managned to watch to the end.)

Thanks for this. I just rechecked the OP and did not find these links in the article. It is imo socially irresponsible to continue to use twitter/x or any other such tracked wall-garden as a primary source of information.

Fair enough but we're not discussing all under the heaven here. The phenomena we are discussing is, to date, mostly defined and categorized based on subjective (self) reports. Given that, until we actually do experiments where we analy

Disagree. Concepually is lifting according to its weight class here. It is entirely irrelevant whether all or most implementations compile. The germinal fact is that a "naive" interpreter implementation of LISP does not in anyway

The imdb move was truly stupid of Amazon, imo. I use to go there all the time for movie info but now its wikipedia and other alternatives and don't even bother with imdb.
