A lot of people play online games. They aren’t exactly rare.

Something that is actually a lot less used (and probably a lot of effort to maintain as well) is webxr. It’s a cool technology but not very useful right now (although I could imagine it becoming more important in the future)

Why is webgl garbage? You don’t think 3d online games should be able to exist?

That’s anticheat, not drm

I thought canvas was just for schools

Yeah, it’s probably not something I would have chosen if I had the option but I don’t really care about the curved screen.

Yea, I got the op 12 because it was just $50 more than the r on Amazon at the time.

It’s definitely powerful enough but I’m slightly disappointed by the software, arcore is just completely broken, and hdr is fairly spotty (works in yt app and photos app but doesn’t work in chrome or Google photos)

Yeah, they announced they’re basically killing science funding yesterday (for everything except like AI and a few other buzzword topics)

We have a couple good cs universities right now, I really hope that’s still true in four years

As an American, cutting edge tech manufacturing isn’t something we do much of. In semiconductors for example, Intel is currently still working on their new node (probably made in the US and Isreal), but new Intel CPUs you buy are going to be tsmc made until then. And AMD and Nvidia, apple, etc are all making their chips at TSMC as well

A lot of tech companies are US based, but very little of the actual production process is done in the US. I guess that doesn’t matter if you just care about the money going to the US though, since buying an Nvidia made chip will still give money to the (us-based) company.

Can an LLM be sad, happy or aware of itself and the world? No, not by a long shot.

Can you really prove any of that though?

They train it on basically the whole internet. They try to filter it a bit, but I guess not well enough. It’s not that they intentionally trained it in religious texts, just that they didn’t think to remove religious texts from the training data.

If it wasn’t the LLM it would be random letters on license plates that drive by, or the coindence that red lights cause traffic to stop every few minutes.

You don’t think having a machine (that seems like a person) telling you “yes you are correct you are definitely the Messiah, I will tell you aincient secrets” has any extra influence?

We have ai models that “think” in the background now. I still agree that they’re not sentient, but where’s the line? How is sentience even defined?

The chrome tab groups were what I missed the most when I switched, so I’m happy with the change. It’s a little jankier feeling as in chrome it’s harder to drag a tab out of the group, while in Firefox if you move a tab to the end it’s hard to get it to stay in the group.

It would also be nice if any of it was themeable, but themeability in Firefox is a whole other problem.

It can work in the normal tab bar at the top

It looks like the ux is very different this time tho

I love it, it was basically the only thing I missed when I switched from Chrome to Firefox. I’ve reorganized all of my tabs and everything is so much cleaner than it was a few days ago.

Now we just need jxl, webgpu, and better themes!

Desmos scientific calculator isn’t open source but it is what I end up using most of the time. It just does float stuff though, it can’t handle something like (10^100+1)-10100

It also doesn’t support nearly as many features as the graphing calculator does, for some reason. But it formats everything very nicely and you can copy and paste as latex

Yes, 1 just looks like the bare minimum stamped sheet metal

You can’t really kill a programming language though

Companies are going to continue using it just because it’s what they used before

Linux is between the requirements of a raspberry pi pico and a raspberry pi zero I would say

Although some crazy person did get Linux running on an esp32 once
