Not really, what we should ask is how much of the revenue comes from:

- scams and fraud

- misattribution

- advertisers that don't actually care about the ROI

Are you sure that's because of online ads? (which I don't see due to ad blockers)

> There’s a reason the advertising industry exists.

I think we'd need to pause online ads to understand their true effect.. I know people buy things, but attributing these choices to the fact that an ad was displayed to the same user some days ago doesn't sound reliable to me.

That's some interesting economy there.. 850m users are not paying, so we'll fund the product by displaying advertisements to those users that do not pay.

The advertisers spend money on those ads, but they know the audience doesn't want to pay.. but fortunately, their products might be free too, because they can also be funded by ads (served to the same audience).

This intelligent design provides infinite money and infinite growth!

> Ad for Financial Times

Pay to see ads of products where you also pay to see ads :)

If true then Alibaba is doing us a public service, good job, I hope this extraction was successful.

Ghidra is good, but would they release it if it was not for the leaks?

> That contract has not been finalized, and some Pentagon officials want the N.S.A. to find a way to work with other models.

Good, fsck NSA, that's the last organization I'd ever want to have access to Mythos. I hope this administration's incompetence will prevent them from regaining access for as long as possible

1) What are RAM requirements?

2) If these are reasonable, a WebGPU demo would be great..

> non-commercial

They inject various unwanted integrations (like pocket in the past).

> independent

Independent from who, Google? Well, no, not even independent from Google, that's the truth.

In the US, guns are apparently safer than Anthropic AI models :)

Regarding the "feature" itself - it doesn't protect you from creeps as they can remove the speaker anyway.. it only annoys normal people who want to take photos in Japan.

That was nearly a year ago because chrome with extensions then arrived, but I did verify it was caused by RAM (usage was growing as FF was loading these tabs in background), then I did set some tweak in about:config which made the issue a little less severe (open in new tab didn't start loading them), but it still crashed if I then manually switched tabs, FF did not unload previous ones despite running out of RAM.

LineageOS 22.2 which is Android 15, but yes, the device originally came with Android 9.

It's not about the number of (possibly sleeping) tabs, it's about how FF doesn't manage those active ones to prevent the app from crashing.. try opening 10 instagram profiles (via open in new tab) in the web browser.

I told you all that Chrome doesn't crash, FF does + pages work much slower.

Man, I backported freezer v2 cgroup implementation into 4.4 kernel so these cached tasks are suspended, don't tell me how Android works please :)

Stop suggesting this Firefox crap which is not only much slower but it also can't even properly manage RAM usage on mobile, leading to app being killed on my low-RAM device, chrome can deal with it even though that's a "desktop" version with extensions for a much newer high end device.

Restricting webRequestBlocking (but it's not going away, just needs a policy extension) and synchronous executeScript did in practice make adblockers unreliable though.. I partially worked it around by using a custom extension that uses the recent userScripts API..

BTW, it's not possible to inject scripts to workers like a ServiceWorker or to replace it's content (DNR let's you redirect but this redirect breaks SW origin + it's visible when you disallow redirects), but MV2 was no better, chrome extensions never had advanced capabilities for ad blocking, a bug about not being able to access POST data via webRequest was open for 10+ years and will probably never be fixed.

But still, firefox is not the alternative, even WebKit is much better.

Well, I assume this isn't real, but.. I'd want to know the actual number - how much more (than in the demo) work'd we need to do (energy to produce) to actually power a CPU/GPU which could use real small on-device models..

I really want to know, no matter how big that number unfortunately is.

CEOs will only pursue profit, unless they are afraid of the consequences, seems most people forgot about that. We need more Legislation.. and Maybe some national heroes..

By freedom you mean freedom to invade other countries? Then don't be surprised those other countries fight back.

What an annoying company, I wish it didn't exist..

> If you take avoiding cyberattack uplift seriously as a goal

This "uplift" risk obviously excludes the US. The goal of this is that the US bandits (like NSA) will find exploits and attack other countries (classic US behaviour), but these other countries can't be allowed to defend against these attacks. NSA/CIA thugs are "trusted", foreign defenders in sanctioned countries will of course be "untrusted".

Was the condition of being granted early access to this castrated model writing a post praising it?

> The purpose of life is reproduction

There's no "purpose" of life, it just happens, it's physics.

> I am a very successful and wealthy entrepreneur

So now imagine you're not, and your life sucks because of such "successful and wealthy entrepreneurs" sucking all the wealth.

If your life is shit, you naturally don't want to make it even shittier just so you can produce people whose life will also be shit (thanks to the class society). Since we stopped forcing people to do this, they're naturally excercising their will.

But your wealth depends on them reproducing, so that's a nice middle finger they gave you by not doing so. You're concerned? You should be, that's the message.

I'm so happy people are rejecting your masochism (assuming your comment is not sarcastic) and are not falling for this scam of suffering anymore.

> We need more bold people, people who aren't afraid to suffer because they see the light at the end of the road.

At "the end of the road" there's only death, so it's pointless to suffer just so you can make more people which will also suffer.

Do they specify a particular model? Is that model public?

NFC, with the smartphone, but the smartphone would not need to be trusted, it would just relay encrypted + signed data.

The page immediately reminded me of that "What is a Dickover" post :)

So it's not an open model while not being much better? Meh.

__This__ is where all those trusted app parts should go - a smart card with e-ink display that can provide high security assurance level and where I won't mind that it's locked down because it has only one purpose.

__Not__ to my smartphone, effectively preventing me from modifying the system in the name of security. A banking app can use a card like this and on the display I could for example see where a transaction would go and then I could accept it, possibly even with a biometric identification.

This would enable me to keep my smartphone customizable and banking apps secure at the same time.

[apologies for the rant]

Stop messing with the scroll, I thought there was something wrong with my mouse wheel. Why are you doing this?
