Google builds the biggest browser. Mozilla receives most of its funding through Google (though they have mobile browsers with a default ad-blocker). Microsoft is in the ad business too.

I'm not surprised, why are you?

Do you have a source for that? I can still access anything nsfw on old.reddit.com from Europe.

Can weights be copyrightable?

Small wrinkle: the existing documentation indicates that the 29th floor is in fact the 3rd floor.

Kind of feels like a variation on P versus NP

To clarify why Anthropic wants to catch these parties: they save all session logs and sell them to other LLM firms (for distillation) and have been known to use stolen credit-cards to pay for the Anthropic accounts.

I'm quite all right with the first, not with the second of course.

Hear hear. I can't believe people are content to consume slop like this.

I can't decide whether this person writes in the type of style that was apparently overrepresented in LLM training, or whether they heavily used AI to spruce up their writing. I'm learning towards the latter.

I'm surprised at this reaction, this has been standard practice for many years in various companies where I worked.

Note that this itself started as a perverse tax loophole, too. By allowing users to run alternative operating systems, the PS3 qualified for lower or zero import tax rates in various global regions.

Cloudflare is one of the most expensive providers out there once you step out of the basics. Look at their video streaming.

I do! I love skipping back 4 folders in one go.

I mean, that's not usual at all in Europe either.

Yeah, it's Google's second attempt at device attestation (ie. the widely panned web integrity tech they're trying to push through)

PopOS completely shit the bed for me on a major version upgrade, left the system is a completely inconsistent state. Luckily I was only trying it out on one (multi-boot) laptop and could easily switch, but it's put me off Pop OS.

I'm still so sad about the re3/reVC guys getting DMCA'd and then sued by Take2/Rockstar Games. It is the most impressive project I've seen so far.

Seems a bit too irresponsible and immature for my taste.

We semi-recently had Gitlab reps stop by at work to demo their new AI features (we're already running Gitlab Enterprise). It was a strong signal that we should get off the train before the next major version. None of the features seemed very thought out and to top it all off, there was an outage while they were demo-ing it, leading to broken pages and no LLM responses.

Just so you know, your comment was marked as "dead", I've vouched for it but the person you were responding to may not have seen it in time.

Such a different era.

I could have used this news 2 days ago. I've been trying out Claude Code for a few days and kept running into the limit, so I wanted to upgrade to Max. In the upgrade-flow they hit me with an identity verification through Persona. No problem, I thought, I'll just cancel the upgrade. Nope, all access to Claude Code on the old plan was now also blocked and can't be unblocked without completing Identity Verification, which I'll never do. What a bad experience.

On the plus-side, it told me how much cheaper Deepseek is and that it's on parity for reverse engineering work.

Cloudflare isn't an impartial, neutral network. People need to stop perpetuating this fig leaf.

To the outside world, Cloudflare acts as a host. Their servers serve the content fo whatever site is in their "network". It doesn't matter that some of those sites are being partially pulled from other backend servers that are outside their network again. Cloudflare is their service provider and they are their customer (free or not).

This is especially true with all their hosted stuff now like Workers, R2, etc., but don't let that muddy the discussion. Even without that they cache and serve the content.

Apart from two exceptions about 5 years ago, I've yet to encounter any of these sites in practice in Firefox.

Well, if it can still be repaired but the producer doesn't want to bother and just sends a new fan, that's fine. That doesn't mean a repairable product should be destroyed and sent to a landfill just because it makes Noctua's logistics easier.

Heya, while you're taking feedback, the link in "If you haven’t read OS/2’s side yet, you can do so by either scrolling the page up (on bigger screens), or clicking here." doesn't do anything for me when clicked. It's also not immediately obvious that the OS/2 article is in the upper-right and needs to be clicked again. Why not link to that article straightaway? :)

> The Miami New Times claimed that freedom of information laws in Florida make it easier for journalists to acquire information about arrests from the police than in other states and that this is responsible for a large number of news articles.[3] A CNN article on the meme also suggested that the breadth of reports of bizarre activities is due to a confluence of factors, including public records laws giving journalists fast and easy access to police reports, the relatively high population of the state, its highly variable weather, and gaps in mental health funding.

You seem to be vouched for now, no longer dead for me.

Holy Hannah, this is such bullshit from Backblaze. Both the .git directory (why would I not SPECIFICALLY want this backed up for my projects?) and the cloud directories.

I get that changing economics make it more difficult to honor the original "Backup Everything" promise but this feels very underhanded. I'll be cancelling.

Interesting, what makes them better to you?
