- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 8 minutes ago:
Dude, I’m not talking about the specific settings you’ve shown. There’s more settings you should set regarding privacy, and (at least a couple of months ago) one of them wasn’t appearing when searching for it.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 1 hour ago:
The issue is that Mozilla is actively hiding these settings. There’s one (I forgot which one) that you can’t find by searching for the title in the FF settings, you have to scroll to it yourself.

Yeah, it just doesn’t make sense!
- Comment on Dogs may have domesticated themselves because they really liked snacks, model suggests 4 days ago:
I got that, but I don’t think it’s true. Humans don’t provide them with food (except during winter, but that’s also more recent), we prevent escape. Otherwise why are pens necessary? We’d just pile up food, and the animals would keep coming back.
- Comment on Dogs may have domesticated themselves because they really liked snacks, model suggests 4 days ago:
I’m not sure that’s accurate. They’d leave if they have no access to grass, but you don’t have to actively give it to them for them to stay.

For predators generally yes, but for prey not necessarily

- Comment on Study Shows Glaciers Have Lost '3 Olympic Swimming Pools Per Second' Since 2000 1 week ago:
Only the average temperature of the parts close to the surface, which is why the surface area is so important.
But by reducing the albedo the air gets warmer, which makes the ice melt faster.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a try!
- Comment on Study Shows Glaciers Have Lost '3 Olympic Swimming Pools Per Second' Since 2000 1 week ago:
I think it would decelerate, as there’s less surface area.
Not that it matters, since the temperature is affected by the ice going away, so it’s an impossible scenario anyways.

Sadly not, I’d also be interested in one!

I very much dislike Mozilla’s direction over the last decade. They’re introducing user-hostile features that subtly break normal browsing experience, even when disabled[0]. Not like Google is better, but I’m also trying to get away from Mozilla.
[0] On Firefox Mobile, there’s a “feature” which makes the address bar auto-complete domains of companies paying Mozilla. I noticed this with Netflix - I never visit, but when I start writing a URL with n, roughly every 10th time Netflix was suggested. You can disable this feature, but this doesn’t actually disable it. The address bar no longer auto-completes with Netflix, instead it just doesn’t autocomplete! So 9/10 times I can write n and press Enter, but 1/10 times I press n and search for the letter n.
Mozilla doesn’t care whether they break features, as long as they can make more money. I strongly dislike this approach by the supposedly “good” browser manufacturer.

Yeah. If you spray it on a hammer and hit someone’s head with it, it knocks them right out.

- Comment on Le Chat: A faster European alternative to American AI 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about? As an example, if I ask an LLM for good spots to get Bratwurst and it recommends places in New York, it’s fairly useless to me as a European.
- Comment on Le Chat: A faster European alternative to American AI 3 weeks ago:
How so? For pretty much any application in the EU, EU-centric results are obviously much better?

Can I freely download all the training data for any of those? I was under the impression they were all trained on non-licensed and copyrighted data.

I support FOSS LLMs, but which actually exist? Which LLMs have open-sourced all their training data?
- Comment on Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to redefine open source so badly 3 weeks ago:
I agree that we should incentivize open source work, but my worry is that by legitimizing partial open source as “open source”, you’re disincentivizing fully open source work. After all, why put in the effort if you’ll get the same result with way less work?
The incentive you’re asking for is a disincentive against full open source, and I can guarantee you that if the existing “open source” term wasn’t defended by hardliners, there’d be far less open source work in the wild than we have today.
- Comment on Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to redefine open source so badly 3 weeks ago:
Open source isn’t defined legally, only through the OSI. The benefit is only from a marketing perspective as far as I’m aware.
Which is also why it’s important that “open source” doesn’t get mixed up with “partially open source”, otherwise companies will get the benefits of “open source” without doing the actual work.
- Comment on Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to redefine open source so badly 3 weeks ago:
If they open source everything they legally can, then do they qualify as “open source” for legal purposes?
No, definitely not! Open source is a binary attribute. If your product is partially open source, it’s not open source, only the parts you open sourced.
So Llama is not open source, even if some parts are.

- Comment on Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to redefine open source so badly 3 weeks ago:
No, because that would no longer be open in the open source sense.
It’s either open for everyone, or it isn’t open.
- Comment on Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to redefine open source so badly 3 weeks ago:
when the data used to train the AI is copyrighted, how do you make it open source?
When part of my code base belongs to someone else, how do I make it open source? By open sourcing the parts that belong to me, while clarifying that it’s only partially open source.
