Anything you like about it in particular?

I just had purple carrots yesterday. Is there some controversy about them I don’t know about?

I know, it was a joke :)

For a 31 year-old console it’s not that alarming.

From a privacy perspective, who manufactured a device that (potentially) runs free software is different from who runs a service which you have to trust because you’re using someone else’s computer.

I’ll preface this with the fact that I’m not really a “car person”, much less someone in the market for a Ferrari. I’d say it looks like a Ferrari from the rear more than the front. Isn’t that what you’d expect? It hasn’t got a traditional engine in it, so if you designed the front to look more like a traditional Ferrari, you’d have to design it to look like it has a traditional engine, but then form wouldn’t follow function, so it would be less beautiful by that standard. If I were a really rich person looking to buy an expensive car, which I’m not, I’d think I might consider it.

I think it looks alright, honestly.

Oh, very sad news, big fan of his work, underappreciated maybe. Here’s one of my favourites:

Oh and I was randomly just thinking of this tune the other day:

I’ll stop there because obviously I can’t post everything.

Again, you’re telling me what I already know, because you’re still assuming. I can make the point that same prompts don’t produce the same output without explaining about random seeds.

It seems a more likely that the candidates were cutting and pasting a standard response, either way my point was to question the integrity of the article, which seems itself to be AI slop anyway.

You can give an LLM the same seed and it will spit out the same word-for-word response. That’s how they work. It’s just a bunch of math.

You’re assuming that because I missed out that detail I must be ignorant of it, that’s not very charitable, I could well have been ignorant of it but you could have made your otherwise useful clarification without telling me I was wrong.

The article said they were the “exact same”.

Where was I wrong? I said nothing that contradicts the detail you added.

Nope, there are a lot of AI tells in the article.

Something is wrong here, LLMs won’t spit out the same word-for-word response for the same prompt that’s not how they work.

ReactOS collaborates with projects like Wine; you would arguably not have Proton without it (or at least not as useful). The process of building ReactOS itself is useful to the FOSS ecosystem perhaps more than the finished “product”.

Is this any different from doing Ctrl+I for page info and selecting the Media tab (which is what I currently do for this)?

Isn’t that just evolutionary developed instinct? I can’t imagine there would be anybody who’s not pro-self preservation on those terms.

I would say don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, if you have a problem with Mozilla as an organisation it doesn’t negate the valid concerns about the monopoly, it would effectively hand control of web standards over to Google defeating the entire ethos of the open web. The Firefox browser engine is independent even if you don’t believe the organisation behind it is, that can be verified because of open source, there’s no need to be defeatist yet.

I deleted my comment fir a reason 🤨

Comment deletion doesn’t always federate straight away, I can still see it.
