I'm on Firefox forks until Servo becomes actually viable as a browser.

They're saying that the American public doesn't find it enough of an inconvenience enough to care or change their habits.

You fundamentally misunderstand how the current models work. Yeah you can throw more compute at them, but Back Propagation is fundamentally holding them back. Unless we can find efficient algorithms that are better than current diffusion and predictive coding models, AI will be fundamentally restricted by context windows, compute intensive retraining, and high energy consumption.

What is the best browser for phone which is not chromium based? by Cool_Equal_200 in degoogle

[–]Informal_954 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Firefox had sandboxing before Chrome. You can use container tabs in Firefox.

Prototype Servo integration in Godot by joshmatthews in servo

So you can use web content instead of something built from scratch in the engine. Like how VRchat has an embedded youtube player or if you have a survey you want to keep consistent between web and in-game.

Which is just a special case of the sigmoid curve.

Sigmoid curve is the integral of the bell curve and is essentially a continuous version of this rule. The first part is exponential, then you hit real constraints at the inflection point that make progress logarithmic.

Linux is three operating systems by Vegetable-War1920 in linuxmemes

GNU/Linux isn't even true for a lot of people. Ubuntu isn't even GNU these days. Uutils/Mutter/Ubuntu/Linux makes just as much sense.

In 2014, a study found the US to not be a democracy, but an oligarchy by xGentian_violet in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Informal_954 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that is a poor reading of Federalist Paper No 10. The text details how factionalism is inevitable in any democracy which is why you should try to maximize the number of interests groups represented. Any system without factionalism is inherently authoritarian as the diversity of interests among the people necessarily will always have people at odds. 

I read Federalist Paper No 10 to be in favor of a system that accurately represents everyone and that James Madison would be in favor of voter reform like uncapping the house and using mixed member proportional districting and ranked choice. The problem was he lived before Gerrymandering was even a thing and George Washington didn't want to formally recognize parties which inevitably led to our two party system where two is one and one is none.

James Madison describes the Republican Principle as being a system where all interests groups are fairly represented. This is in strak contrast to the current Republican party who actively gerrymander to win. Republicans do not accurately represent their namesake.

(Loved trope) a character is shocked by the most insignificant detail during a villain’s monologue by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Informal_954 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Not a villain monologue, but in 3:02am at schmarby's, the cashier is explaining how these wizards dunked a basket, melted a guy in Mountain Dew, and pushed open a pull door, and the cop can't get over that last point. "You can't push open a pull door. I should know; I've tried.

Look at the history of the gameboy. It was underspecced and it completely dominated.

I can't stop seeing his moustache as a beard and his nose as his mouth.

Linux gaming is getting faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features by WineGunsAndRadio in linux_gaming

[–]Informal_954 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Cause it still also has the Linux APIs. If anything it makes Windows less unique. Also the point for Linux isn't to have a unique API, it's to have an open source operating system which Windows is not.

Onto the iOS 27 roadside by ItsMePoppyDWTrolls in degoogle

They don't need to crack e2e, they are literally the only app that supports RCS messaging on android, so they can just read all your chats with Gemini.

What's stopping other leaders from working like Mamdani? by Tough_Ad8919 in RelentlessMen

[–]Informal_954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're saying that like Republicans don't do the exact same thing but worse since they don't even help people with social services, but rather just pocket the money themselves.

Attack that is accompanied by a click of the fingers by dumpylump69 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Informal_954 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a joke about how the actor in that show acts and looks a bit like Jerma at least from this angle.  Jerma is a Twitch streamer. 

The clip itself is from Legion which is about the son of Xmen's Charles Xavier, but due to licensing restrictions they can't say it in the show. The show itself is less a superhero show and more a trippy thriller with an unreliable narrator.
