    It seems like I can't help myself and keep sliding back into old habits without realizing. I am sorry, I will think twice next time.

    Have you considered Cloudflare R2? It seems like that's one of the very few unmetered-bandwidth file hosting providers? It doesn't do HLS out of the box (it's just S3-compatible st…

    I don't think so — I don't disagree with you there. It was more the parent (the child to your post) I was responding to, about statistics and semantics.

    Lol, that's actually kinda cool. Did you get any interesting Eastern responses to your diary entries? I'm imagining something like... > Dear diary, I got bullied again today, and t…

    I don't think this is the unprovable you think it is? If LLMs and statistics can't encode semantics, how can do chatbots perform long-form translations with appropriate contexts? H…

    Wasn't that before the era of hyperscalers? Intel offers nothing of value anymore. What's to stop one for the giants from just swallowing them up like 3dfx or ATI?

    Can you prove that statistics cannot encode semantics?

    Will Intel even be around in a few years to support this thing, especially in software? They seem to be in their death spasms...

    It's only illegal when the insufficiently rich do it.

    I actually forgot that site existed until you mentioned it... ChatGPT had 100% replaced it for me. I don't miss SO's terrible moderation at all.

    I work for a headless CMS, but I think that's a poor fit for your use case. Many of our small customers start off in your situation, where a helpful dev makes them a headless site.…

    Personally I'd vote for Apache, or a new FOSS group. They don't need all the funding that Mozilla currently gets (most of which isn't spent on Firefox anyway). I'd rather see that …

    ...owning some tiny percentage of stock, often not knowingly. Those same 60% would also benefit from having a less monopolistic Internet. Well, that's the theory at least. I think …

    I think this is only proving the parent's point, that the legal system is completely unable to deal with the megacorps. Shrug. I don't read those results the same way you do.

    Sorry, I don't agree that any of that fundamentally changes the wild argument that "we've wronged too many people to be held accountable!". But, hey, I'm just a rando on the intern…

    There's not really a strong incentive to while Mozilla is still around (and despite that, there are still a few forks... Waterfox, for example). I think it would take a collapse of…

    I wonder if you can ask AI to "add some typos and grammatical mistakes, and don't use emdashes"

    So it's not really a strawman at all, and it was in fact one of their main arguments. They just also made other arguments on top of that... Seems to me the parent was totally justi…
