Gitlab. Required very few CI/CD changes to be honest.
Oh right, the animal.
I've already jumped ship. Switching source control host was actually pretty easy. Builds still working just fine.

Ad-blockers are the most used extensions on firefox. Origin itself has 10m installs, there are others with 3m and few with 1m installs.

It wouldn't bring in their estimate, it'd kill the browser.
Re:How to break free from smart TV ads and tracking on Saturday December 13, 2025 @04:16AM (#46253239)
Are dumb TVs rare? I've never bought one, just getting TVs when other people are finished with theirs, but I'm pretty sure every one I've owned has been a dumb TV. We just connect it to the PS4 and they've all been the same.

Keeping them on the vine is far better for the consumer, who can have a range of tomatoes that ripen as you eat them.

Perhaps a sign of the trauma from university, but for me that's quicksort.

I have bad news for you. Again, it's humans.

Re:A Cell So Minimal That It Challenges Definitions of Life on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @04:07PM (#46062315)
Lots of types of life give up on homeostasis along particular dimensions because the environment is doing it well enough. Viruses do reproduce.

If you say "well not by themselves" neither do humans.

Re:GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT on Thursday November 13, 2025 @05:51AM (#45913348)
For building tools with, it's bad. It's pointless tokens spend on irrelevant tics that will just be fed to other LLMs. The inane chatter should be built on the final level IF and only if, the application is a chat bot, and only if they want the chat bot to be annoying.
Why would I need to comply with foreign laws?

So upon finding success, he has escaped the struggle that people are forced into against their will. How unreasonable of him.
I didn't see a pop-up on the site at all.
Weird that they think people will follow their terms of service while disregarding that of the entire internet.

Re:What happened to Apple's legendary attention to detail? on Friday October 24, 2025 @01:03AM (#45690951)
In researching why it was happening to me, I found sufficient forum posts complaining about it that it seems to be commonplace.

I have my doubts that Apple would admit enough to perform a safety recall given the issues they've had with their garbage chargers in the past. Other companies have no problems with building hardware that lasts. Apple seem to prefer their customers pay for replacements.

America does American things.

You seem more entitled to your opinion than others.

> That is their decision. Without any contract or promise, there is no obligation to anybody.

Not everything is legally enforced. Open source is a social phenomenon. Why are you so surprised that these social rules are being enforced socially?

There are obligations... it's how society functions.

> I really don’t get this entitlement. “You are still doing unpaid work I benefit from, but you used to do more, therefore you are malicious.” is something I really cannot get behind.

I really don't get this entitlement. You expect that nobody should follow any social contracts and I'm sure are always surprised when people call you out for being asocial.

Re:Andrej Karpathy – AGI is still a decade away on Saturday October 18, 2025 @04:57AM (#45625960)
None of those models can learn continuously. LLMs currently can't add to their vocabulary post training as AGI would need to. That's a big problem.

Before anyone says "context", I want you to think on why that doesn't scale, and fails to be learning.

By the time re-industrialisation kicks in, the US will be well placed to replace China as a source of cheap labour, once living standards decrease to that level.
This is the opposite of what I want. I'd rather turn videos into articles.
