If Mozilla implementing "AI" (or machine learning) to localise language models and translations, then I'm all for it.
If Mozilla moves closer to SaaS, I'm jumping ship to another browser, preferably one that's not based on WebKit or Blink.
However, despite the loud cries of cynics, the jaded and haters alike (or the "realists"), I'm still optimistic about the future.
If this restructuring means Mozilla more quickly qualify for funding because they localise training models and open source it all, then I'd say Mozilla is a threat to the likes of Microsoft - and that's a good thing.
Excuse me, wtf? You’re not “discounting”, but indirectly condemning the whole crew when obviously it was the navigator and captain responsible for the negligence? Not only that, but almost indirectly affirming that they all deserve to be there?
“Oh I’m sorry, but this is ancient Egypt and you must be buried with the pharaoh.”
Prick. And no, don’t come at me with “but those 6 people who died”, because that justifies nothing.
Fair enough, but that still does not justify them being stuck on a ship for several months, because 1) there is no “due process” (search online for it’s proper definition and not the perversed US instituonalist definition), 2) it’s punishment without verdict, and 3) it’s inhumane. Actually, it’s an edge case the US judicial system is not capable of handling, because the US judiciary is lead by morons.
Again, you don’t get to justify this kind of treatment of people “because they did bad”. What’s next, a return to witch burning because the milk soured? The average deck hand, who had no power or influence over the matter, should have weeks of their pay disappear, because they are lightly implicated, meaning their families will go without food? Nuts to that.
Why do yanks continuously defend, deflect and try to gloss over their own governments incompetence and unethical behaviour? The US needs dire judicial reform.
It’s not a circle jerk, but the collective realization of who the genocides and apartheid enthusiasts are in our government, and how intrinsically it’s the political ideology that tried to destroy representative democracy and not uphold it.
Republicans are classical liberals, democrats are neo-liberals, the tories in England, Macrons government, etc.
Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Raegen were liberals.
The CIA was invented by liberals.
It’s not a circle jerk, but a realization of why the power structure and institutions need to be replaced with something left wing, for once.
With each passing day that is less and less true. Ask any Hong Kong patriot. Even though China technically hasn’t annexed them, the Hong Kong leadership leans closer towards Beijing every day. I wouldn’t put it past Hong Kong intelligence “doing favours” for Beijing.
It’s a weird time to live in, but not confusing. It’s obvious to see that what you really want as a vendor is control over the operating system stack itself, and relying on Microsoft has become challenging.
In essence what NVIDIA is doing is bringing it’s entire GPU driver stack open source side, so that entire industries say go on buying tons more hardware.
Us Linux enthusiasts get to reap the benefit, what with entire open source movements bringing libraries to Linux side first that can turn GPU hardware into whatever tool you’d like. Projects like PyTorch and ffmpeg run as first class citizens on Linux.
Windows still relies on either shared DotNet stack (which will make a monkey out of you - cough cough) or the nearly ancient MSYS2 build environment. Microsoft of course prefers you run all that software inside their Linux container system known as WSL - and there’s a reason for that.
The Linux graphics stack is looking more “feature complete” by the month, bringing up the question of where you actually get the best hardware support. This is a good question to have.
Now, if only the open source desktop movements could clean house, figure out funding and get their stacks in order, we might finally, for the umpteenth time, maybe see the year of the Linux desktop.
I grow old with anticipation, but seeing what NVIDIA did in the before time versus what they do in the now puts a smirk on this haggered face.
Let me just make it clear, having kernel land drivers and user space drivers open source and working together is a good thing.
Sure, you’ll have to agree to a licence when installing CUDA, which will probably never be open source, but as long as the GPU hardware can be used out of the box with open source drivers means that we’ve come a long way.
The Hungarian government’s invitation to Chinese police officers to patrol in Hungary poses a threat to European security and in particular the freedoms of Europe’s Chinese diaspora....
The markets of exploitation built by liberals includes slavery as well as wage slavery, which speaks volumes about how good they are at upholding their own principles. Liberalists just outsourced everything in the 1950s, screwed entire labour markets and relied on communist China to do so.
Why are people so confused? Microsoft wanted monopoly by acquiring a bunch of companies, to consolidate their intellectual property and shaft it’s employees, the people who created the software in the first place.
It’s an ancient political tactic of “I was just defending myself”. What was it the Nazis said about Jews? Oh right, they were just “defending themselves”.
You mean liberals are crooked… so both the democrats and republicans… one is neo, the other classical… both imperialistic :D Yeeeey Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Raegen were liberals…
So yeah, definitely corrupt. Vote third party, or vote for electoral reform. If not? Stop complaining.
Seeing that user Flatpaks are installed in the home folder, I see this as an interesting strategy. EXT4 still beats BTRFS in certain read/write benchmarks. My only problem being that you lose provisioning.
I don’t see a lot of people talking about this here, but BTRFS subvolume provisioning is probably the best reason to use BTRFS - and BCacheFS - not just CoW or snapshotting.
The old way, of having a set beginning and end of a partition, is like caveman technology to me now. Subvolumes are here to stay and I am happy about that.
If I need to do a little distrohop now, even though I wouldn’t (rpm-ostree rebase go brrrr), all I’d do is delete an recreate the “@” subvolume (or the root subvolume) without touching another partition or subvolume. All storage space is shared between subvolumes, basically, removing that boundary distinction between them, so I get to keep the files, permissions and meta data in my “@home” and my “@var” subvolumes, even though I get rid of the old “@” to replace it with a new one.
Therefore the idea of having storage that is reliant upon partitioning, ordering sectors one after another, having to defragment and keep strict separations between them is absolutely archaic to me. I’ll gladly take a slight performance hit just for the convenience of avoiding all that.
Don’t blame the Americans. They don’t see that we have our own slow crawl in a race to the bottom. The EU has recognised it and pays lip service, but that organ-grinder gotta spin, spin, spin…
…but yeah, regulation wise Europeans get a ton more representation. In the US representation means which talking mouthpiece is going to serve the instituons today, and then they go do a lil insider trading - as a treat.
This is what people misunderstand. The question is what effect will it have regarding to how certain governments, organizations and companies deal with ICC law. It’s not a question of getting Netenyahu arrested, but adding more precedent on file to continue pushing divestment.
If the verdict is passed, it’s up to anyone who can use it to weaken the Isreali government and strengthen the Palestinian government, by adding it to the pile of legitimate reasons to cut funding.
So yeah, it’s up to government and people in general - as per usual.
