I feel like Mozilla is a big money laundering scheme at this point. It only exist so chrome isn’t a monopoly, and I pretty sure the CEO and several other workers are getting paid an obscene amount to do nothing all day while only 20% of the money actually goes toward working on the browser.
I haven’t checked progress in TTS tech for months (probably several revolutionary evolutions have happened since then), but try Coqui xttsv2.
It could be. But then again, he did have the help of a Rust designer/core dev. I believe they even wrote the first iteration of the “Jakt” compiler in Rust before rewriting it in Jakt itself, so Andreas isn’t against using Rust.
I am pretty sure it was about how it was difficult for them to do oop with rust, but I reckon it was long ago and my programming knowledge is minimal.

I vaguely remember the talk about needing oop for the web being on discord and not twitter, so the twitter post is likely a reaction that.
You’re doubting someone’s ability to create a web browser knowing that they specialize in browser development since the early 2000s?
If this isn’t enough to have confidence in them then nothing will.
The dev has 30 years of experience with c++ and a lot of it was on browsers.
He tried to incorporate rust with the help of “JT”, one of the original rust designers/devs and according to Andreas it didn’t work that well due to the web being too objet oriented or something like that. They both worked together (well, mostly “JT”) to create a new safe programming language called “yakt” that transpile to c++, but the project is currently pretty much dead because nobody is really working on it anymore.
If only.
We also have a fork of money, it’s called crypto and it’s used to sell and buy hookers and drugs. Every fork of something end up used to buy hookers and drugs. Truly marvelous!
Their rendering engine is already pretty solide (see penultimate video in their channel). Now that their “no third party code” restriction is lifted, they can actually focus on building a browser engine instead of recreating 30 years worth of technologies from scratch.
AI is overhyped but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s impact is still gonna be huge, mainly in terms of how productive a single human can be.
AI on its own is still too dumb even with all the new improvements like huge contexts reaching millions and mixture of experts,etc. but they can be of tremendous help as a personal assistant, especially for disabled people. The fact that it can understand natural speech very well and act accordingly is a major breakthrough.
I also discovered that AI that have access to internet and do a search for what you’re asking them tend to answer vastly better than their offline counterpart.
That movie with Jack Nicholson playing a general and screaming “you can’t handle the truth” to Tom Cruise.
If you guys like hiking and stuff, there’s this cool open source app called trail sense on f-droid and it’s just so much feature packed…
I don’t hike, so I only use it for it’s pedometer capabilities and a hypothetical situation where “I might get really lost” but the amount of features it has for hiking and survival is crazy and so I think deserves to be more known.
Ngl, such titles always amuse me.
How far can we go? Let’s blame the CERN!
I geuss it’s something like : if close enough, set to true.
Now I’ll read the article and discover it’s like 100x more complex.
Edit : It is indeed at least 100x more complex.
It will be dynamically generated movies and series. People will make their own movie/serie template and share it with others
It was already obvious by comparing how they acted when the killed civilians where Ukrainian and when they where palistinians. The mask had slipped, revealing what many had already suspected: The tears are always a lie.
It’s half exaggerated and half true.
Last year, there was some breakdown of Mozilla earnings circulating on the web and I vaguely remember them gaining like 600 or 800 millions (mostly from Google) while only spending something around 200 millions for software dev, and this was in 2022 (their revenue from Google increases each year for some reason). That’s 33% to 25%, so it’s either 66% or 75% of Mozilla revenue used for god knows what.
