  • My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?

  • That's incidental:

    he adjusted the scale so that the melting point of ice would be 32 degrees, and body temperature 96 degrees, so that 64 intervals would separate the two, allowing him to mark degree lines on his instruments by simply bisecting the interval 6 times (since 64 = 2⁶).

  • You can just scale it down and have the same experience. It's all just habit and familiarity

  • 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns.

  • It's the same in most of Europe afaik. You can't be filmed as a primary subject without consent. For example, I can photograph you in the background of a monument or in nature, without having to ask your consent.It's the same for dashcams, you are filming the road primarily not the pedestrian.

    Edit: even better, in France (and iirc in Belgium too) I can photograph you as a primary subject without consent, but I cannot reproduce or distribute the picture of you without your consent.Look up "Droit à l'image" if you want to know more.Edit2: Hungary seems to have laws like I initially described, so taking pictures of videos in public should be okay as long as more than 1 person is visible on it.

  • Please never develop any software for other humans without first developing any kind of compassion or empathy for others.You are the stereotypical nerd that doesn't understand people may have different needs than you, so I have to justify how a feature relating to accessibility can be useful...

  • Being technically something implies it's not really or to be considered apart from the group.

    The "gimmick" is proposing alt text based on the image when editing PDFs. I don't see how it's unhelpful. I'm not into editing PDFs in firefox, but I do use it to read them.Inciting editors to include an alt text for accessibility seems like the ideal use case for this tech. The human still has to review and approve the generated text.Unless I missed something as I cannot try the feature now, it seems to me a great application of ai, to augment humans in their work, and to a useful cause.Image classification and description is "old" tech now, and I already use it in my work to auto tag images for editors to find more easily later. Nothing crazy.

  • It is really difficult to implement in the first place, and the standards evolve constantly.Some argue it may not be possible to build new browsers anymore

  • Not all these arguments no.You're defending your position that this AI feature is not really AI so it's ok, but the others are all bad because of the two letters of the devil.Still AI is a marketing term, always has been. AI in the form of machine learning has been around for more than a decade, and lots of things already use that.The knee jerk reaction of tech circles saying mozilla will sell their soul because there is no "kill switch" is so fucking dumb. Even more dumb is thinking no other users may want any of these features. Unless you work at Mozilla, and/or do product research for browsers, chances are you most likely have no idea how people will want to use these features in their day to day.Even working on one's own product in a company, few really understand the users needs and wants, especially tech persons.I can guarantee you, the weird gimmick you don't understand is crucial to some.

  • And?Because the term AI was not in vogue at the time, even though it's clearly the same technology, it doesn't count? It's literally packaged under the same umbrella now.

    Anyway, the big issue is still tech ppl thinking their viewpoint is the only one valid, and that every generic user will have the same exact needs as them.

  • I only ever started using and evaluating LLM agents this past December, but in my experience it kinda works now. I can't ascertain exactly why and how, but I was taken away how a simple prompt could get workable results.

  • Here's my opinion on those points, if people care.

    • Indeed, that's why I'd love for local models to be enough for my needs. Not yet the case but hopefully someday
    • It's already half my week. Explaining in natural language, to my coworkers, what they need to do. Either directly or through tickets
    • I don't think it's always the case. IDE already have powerful tools but they don't come close to the "understanding" an LLM can have on your code.
    • The generated code is reviewed exactly like any other of my coworkers code. I check it does what it says on the tin and passes tests.
    • All code ends up like other people's code. You don't always remember what something does a few months from now. Overall we read more code than we write, so the importance of the code being readable and easy to understand is the same as before. You're still the one getting woke up a 4am, not the LLM.
    • Not really true. I can implement a feature once and have it implemented and extended on all other services. The LLM mostly understand there are differences between them and work around that. Is it perfect? Ofc no, but I've never seen an automated tool you can just point at a file and say "do the same for x and y".
    • Programming still needs to be done by humans most of the time. LLM are just parrots so they cannot create some new API that a human previously had to create. I like making architectural decisions, organizing the code and structure it how I want. I don't like having to edit 25 files to make some small adjustments. In the same way a "Refactor" button did not make us stop programming, LLM won't either.

  • Ssshhh don't say that too loud or the "no one wanted this" crowd may hear you. They would be very scared if they could read.

  • Open source license that doesn’t allow your code to be used for AI data training?

    Jump

  • If we can play semantics, the program (the compiled binary) can be used for anything with no field restrictions.But the code is not the program itself, it's the recipe, and usage could be restricted in some specific ways.In my opinion, since free licenses already have restrictions regarding distribution, saying AI models trained on this data are derivative works and must be licensed compatible (ie training data set, methods and models themselves being free).I feel it's a better middle ground where the freedom of users are not violated nor restricted, and the code/knowledge stays free

  • Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • And you can take approximately 3 seconds to click on the kill switch if you so desperately need not to see an AI button somewhere.Like I can understand (and I agree) the stance on AI in general, but this is just a knee jerk reaction. Your browsing experience is 99.9% unchanged even if there is a button somewhere...
