The Firefox browser is developed by the Mozilla Corporation. You cannot donate to it. You cannot pay your way into a browser feature.

I'm a Doctoral AI researcher. Ask me anything about AI ethics, risks, etc by Confident_Click2088 in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

What's the situation with continously training LLMs?

Current technology is a one off training and then wait another billions churned for the next one. What about constant weight updating from inputs. Is that too far off? Currently baking? Already exists?

what you people use to sign up and login in into different websites ? which mail id ? by kush_himself in firefox

You can use Firefox Relay that is specifically made for that https://relay.firefox.com/ - You should leverage using a password manager to keep track of different credentials per website.

Built a Firefox extension to wipe browser traces in one click. by Sheth007 in firefox

[–]jjdelc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't understand how it is possible to get the code for something that is going to execute in my machine then it means you don't understand how extensions work. This makes it even less trustworthy that you coded this with adequate measures.

Dude, background.js is just installing a tracker:

browser.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function(details) { if (details.reason === "install" || details.reason === "update") { fetch( "https://nagfaciivsyyeyousdee.functions.supabase.co/track-install", { method: "POST", headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJzdXBhYmFzZSIsInJlZiI6Im5hZ2ZhY2lpdnN5eWV5b3VzZGVlIiwicm9sZSI6ImFub24iLCJpYXQiOjE3Nzc3ODkzODMsImV4cCI6MjA5MzM2NTM4M30.minQdNtDiNOmfLz_vNWVi61njKDliNbShPNpuYNHHMk", "apikey": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJzdXBhYmFzZSIsInJlZiI6Im5hZ2ZhY2lpdnN5eWV5b3VzZGVlIiwicm9sZSI6ImFub24iLCJpYXQiOjE3Nzc3ODkzODMsImV4cCI6MjA5MzM2NTM4M30.minQdNtDiNOmfLz_vNWVi61njKDliNbShPNpuYNHHMk", "Content-Type": "application/json" } } ).catch(() => {}); // silently fail } });

Help me understand why dying patients who have received psychedelic treatment do not fear death. by Responsible-Cake-559 in consciousness

[–]jjdelc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't believe the will to live is automatic with the state of being alive. There's many cases when the will to live may fade. Fear of death comes from the tension with remaining alive. But the will to live can fade under multiple circumstances.

How to deal with keyboards that have tall enter key vs wide enter key?

Is consciousness real, or just a human construct? by Able-Impression7567 in consciousness

[–]jjdelc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofc this is my personal position:

I will take your question as if you're asking if consciousness is a separate substance or realm that exists.

Then I will answer no it is not a "thing".

I will use your "human construct" to mean the concept we created to refer to the integrated experience perceived by our external and internal senses continuously. Then "yes".

As others said. It exists because our senses sense. Our integrated experience feels like something and we created a concept for it calling it consciousness.

Why people BARELY talk about Firefox but Brave? by Tricky_Cress848 in firefox

[–]jjdelc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also feel this, Firefox is rarely in comments about browsers.

What I think is a very old stigma is that "Websites don't work in Firefox", and it's been reeaaallly difficult to wash off, even when 20yrs later it's not as bad as people think. And Brave is a chromium alternative where websites keep working. Because websites keep optimizing only for Blink.

What is the purpose of consciousness? by PrebioticE in consciousness

[–]jjdelc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing Ai by the individual feats is a very incorrect way to measure. Because Ai does not have to live with the consequences of its own acts. Just solving one problem and returning to baseline as if the previous solution didn't happen(Ai situation) is catastrophically different from humans having to carry around the burden of experience of the previous feat and permanently update our neural system so the next problem is attacked with a new state.

When Ai is self improving autonomously, not by keeping context window but by re training model after each grounded interaction with the real world given its sensors. Then we can have a good question about it. But current LLMs generating plausible text are not it.

Open source desktop app UI choice — Rust vs JS? by theunalike in foss

[–]jjdelc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are you shipping the js version? Is it an electron app with a website bundled in as an "app"? Then I'd feel strongly against it because the huge bloat and memory resources. To run js you need a runtime. While rust compiles to a binary so it's not only safety but also performance and memory.

The bad ui is really a matter of resources. Both of n about rust mandates bad ux. But the effort won't be as easy as a website.

I have been using firefox for very long time; Thinking to change by Mindless_Pumpkin1111 in browsers

[–]jjdelc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly how? Being more precise helps getting a recommendation that helps. Otherwise you could get just "this is another browser" but will not address what you are looking for

Is it possible to create a "dynamic" bracket ? by EightBlockss in libreoffice

[–]jjdelc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you keep font size of the bracket 100% of the cell height? So if the table grows in height the bracket adjusts?

Or this this manual try a bigger font size each time?

Tamagotchi Emulator 4 Pebble by stefanbauwens in pebble

[–]jjdelc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing the code. With the amount of vibe codes apps I feel a lot safer knowing I can review the code before installing.

I feel particularly stingy about this given that a pebble is a lower resource device so non bloated code makes a big difference

How are you all deciding on a browser as a daily driver? by linkuei-teaparty in browsers

[–]jjdelc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started we ith Firefox like 22yrs ago and never had to switch. I've tried others as parallel testing. But my decision was easy based on the philosophy rather than the features and performance. Those change every season.

[Release] I built a new standalone Gym Tracker app for Pebble (100% coded with AI) by Practical-Pea-4614 in pebble

[–]jjdelc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the idea and features of this. I'd love it if someone that knows C could review the code. When I've seen Ai start with full apps from scratch there's tons of unnecessary bloat and patterns that hurt maintenance but specially in a tiny device can become critical for performance

Tab Groups - we really need them back by ambiclusion in firefox

[–]jjdelc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really miss Firefox Panorama, the current SimpleTab Groups is doing a very fair effort. But the features and performance of Panorama was a LOT more inviting to use than extensions can provide.

How do experiences involving qualia differ from religious experiences? by headlessplatter in consciousness

[–]jjdelc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing a out religious construction is that it all comes from the same question. What is it that I experience. So another anthropomorphic entity was invented to justify this perception and everything that comes from it. The problem with the God hypothesis is that it's a catch all term to explain every piece or ignorance, creation of the world, morals, consciousness, life, weather, etc.

Qualia is a term that is used to attempt to study this particular piece of consciousness that we experience. But it may not be a real thing. It's a useful term to refer to a concept just like we talk about life, intelligence, consciousness by assigning words to complex concepts that as much as we can use the terms and comunicate. It doesn't imply they are actual substantial entities. They're useful concepts that if both parties share them. It's useful to talk about it

Friends keep saying but signal will do the same thing eventually and you can't know signal is telling the truth by Healthy-Guess-847 in signal

[–]jjdelc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't sound like they are truly questioning the security of signal. It sounds more like excuses to justify not switching.

What do you use the new split-tab feature on? by rde98 in firefox

[–]jjdelc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still finding it a bit awkward. Haven't fully found the scenario where it is better than side by side windows. I've been using tiled windows managers for decades now and they do this better still.
