It's not an LLM, it is a purpose built model. https://arxiv.org/html/2411.19506v1 5 years ago we would've called it a Machine Learning algorithm. 5 years before that, a Big Data al…

Dailymotion, Google Video, sevenload, german TV stations RTL and Pro7 even launched Clipfish and MyVideo respectively to compete with youtube. Youtube happens to be the only one th…

Whatever the reason may be, the fact that pilots regularly engage in rather complicated and obstruse workarounds shows that cockpit design shouldn't be taken as the holy grail of U…

While aviation is the origin of UX design, I'm uncertain whether modern cockpit design is born out of UX or out of a resistance to change. For example, for fuel-efficient takeoffs,…

Most licenses, EULAs, contracts and so on don't have much precedent in court. There's no reason to believe that GPL would fold once subjected to sufficiently crafty lawyers.

Copy pasting code is allowed under LGPL, but doing so while removing license headers and attribution of code snippets would not be.

I mean, torrenting is decentralised and not technically takedownable. But it was entirely possible to make it legally painful for people involved in it, as seen in eg. The Pirate B…

There is no server in Moscow, and I don't think there ever was. Muse Group left their original office in Kaliningrad for Cyprus pretty much the second the war started, and at this …

A waveeditor inside a DAW is very helpful anyway; it's the place where you can chop up source files to become loops, and where you can throw in stretch markers to conform fluctuati…

You are aware that VLC, LibreOffice and many other FOSS apps have an update checker?

After its inception, Tenacity unfortunately tackled an irrelevant, yet opinionated part of development first: The build system, together with any internal variables saying "audacit…

I've seen XLR used for DMX lighting. The advice for stage techs seems to be "don't do that". Same thing applies to this standard probably.

It clusters symptoms "without underlying cause" because we don't know the underlying cause. If we wanted to go for a fully "physical mechanism" approach to mental health, we could …

It feels broadly desirable to have a court decide what is and isn't a scam and perhaps hand out punishment instead of having a private entity act as the judge and executioner.

I sure have. Mozillas main and perhaps only real mistake was that they didn't meaningfully attempt to become independent from Google the second Google started building Chrome (with…

The beer brewers in my home town used to have a self-driving horse and cart which knew the daily delivery route going by all pubs and didn't really need a human to steer it or inde…

The tragedy of the commons requires a resource that is being depleted, which definitely isn't something that merely using FOSS would do.

If you go to Filter > Video, it gives you a more traditional search. Additionally, YouTube can be thought of as the second most used search engine. Which in return means that the b…
