As usual folks are blind to second order effects.

You’re most definitely wrong here because the first step is to announce something like this because a project like this requires gathering a significant number of contributors.

They’re trying to hard fork Firefox, which means they are trying to take on the engineering efforts of hundreds of full time engineers who are browser development experts. To keep up with bugs, web standards, security patches, and performance. Nevermind new feature development.

I’m pretty pessimistic about it tbf.

How are they going to maintain the hard fork when something like 95+% of all engineering efforts that support LibreWolf and similar come from the Firefox engineering team?

Mostly mundane stuff like security patches, performance fixes, and web standards features and updates make up the bulk of the engineering efforts.

Projection is the word you’re looking for

TFW you can’t tell the difference between fear mongering and cautionary advice.

Literally all knowledge and understanding requires memorization of some sort and the understanding of reality and prior information.

It is difficult to fathom the level of wrong in this comment.

Here’s the thing people who lack knowledge, critical thinking and understanding about the how the world works. Still form opinions and makes decisions as if they did have that knowledge and understanding. Which negatively affects everyone else.

32/35 students here did this. That’s a hell of a lot more than just “the bad ones”

32 out of 35 students is crazy…

91% Of students not only cheating with AI. But 91% being so unaware and unengaged that they’re not even checking the work or the answers.

We are so fucked

It’s only bike shedding if the people arguing over it don’t know enough about the topic to actually make cohesive arguments.

Things like how we name things and the grammar we use are quite important in cognitive psychology. And we can take advantage of research into cognitive psychology to better improve how we write software.

Language translation tools have been AI-based for nearly 30+ years now (Literally, ML based translation started in the 90’s). What are you on about?

Using ChatGPT is definitely egregious for language translation with other translation tools out there, but you seem to think that translation tools using AI are a bad thing. They literally only work worth a damn because they are ML models (“AI”). And have been since they started working well…

I mean, screw performance. You can get away with a lot of shitty performance and still have a completely functional application. However, the kind of slop that happens around module boundaries that turns your codebase into a giant pile of workarounds and hacks really sucks.

And AI is particularly bad at this, as AI almost always prefers to work around a problem or do everything it can to meet the plan the user approved, even if that plan meets reality, it has problems. Which tends to lead to cascading misalignment with intentions and cascading infrastructure and architectural technical debt.

All of which culminate in less stable software, lower likelihood of long-term support of that software, and worse performance.

None of this actually proves that they aren’t writing slop. It just proves that the slop that they’ve written passes your tests.

FR. If a relationship gets to this point it’s for a reason.

If the partner is prioritizing games over their relationship or responsibilities, and is making the other feel like they have to compete for attention and time with their partners habits or addiction. They have every right to desire to leave that relationship because their needs are not being met.

It’s not a reasonable response at all. It’s unhealthy AF.

If the partner is prioritizing games over their relationship or responsibilities, and is making the other feel like they have to compete for attention and time with their partners habits or addiction. The affected partner hss every right to desire to leave that relationship because their needs are not being met in that relationship.

This is what the ultimatum is targeting. His response being intentionally obtuse and flipping it back around to the partner whose needs are likely not being met in their relationship being the problem is extremely toxic and manipulative.

TIL!

Awkwardly, I find that the largest memory pressure tends to come from a particular web page that continually gobbles up more memory the longer it is open.

There’s always one of these somewhere, and I’m bad at closing tabs. I usually notice pretty quickly when I come back to my computer. As soon as we start hitting page filing, since everything is stuttering and slow, but if it goes overnight, it can literally be 15 to 20 minutes before the system is responsive again after I kill the offending process.

Whereas on my work device, which is Windows, I usually might not even notice until I’ve maxed out my page file, which can be 64 or 128 GB depending on the device. And even then, I only notice because file operations start getting slow because the SSD is being thrashed. Killing the offending process results in responsiveness usually within a few seconds and a full clear out of the page file in a couple minutes.

The explanations that I’ve gotten from another commenter make a lot of sense. That Windows has just always had to deal with high memory pressures, so has been forced to mature in that sense. It is rather odd that Linux is behind on this, though, given its overwhelming representation in headless environments

Thank you for thoughtfully engaging. I appreciate your knowledge.

It also depends on what you mean by worse than Linux. A lot of the criteria that you’re evaluating definitely have Linux as better than Windows, but Windows is better than Linux in other ways that I notice on a day-to-day basis when I’m switching between the two.

Performance under memory pressure is the biggest one, I think. I don’t know why, but Windows handles extreme memory pressure and heavy page filing incredibly gracefully, whereas any Linux device I’ve used, and Macs, seems to stutter, slow down, and really struggle under memory pressure, even when there is superior hardware involved. I usually have to wait several minutes before my daily Linux driver recovers from heavy page filing, whereas it’s usually just a couple of seconds with my Windows box.

So more federal funding being politicized.

When do states capture federal taxes and use it themselves to fund what the federal government keeps withholding?

Boot polish and butt paste.
