OCR is a form of AI.

What happened that made you so mad at Mozilla?

But why? I get that it’s bad that Mozilla has to except money from Google and such to fund their development, but Firefox and Thunderbird are damn nice pieces of software that are way better than anything else on the market.

I want them to disappear.

So you want Google to have a true monopoly over the browser market?

Yeah, the weekly sacrifices I have to do, are taking a toll on me

Can confirm, I’m ginger.

These large companies really need to learn that AI isn’t a good tool for black and white decisions.

Right now I’m working on a system with drones and image recognition for farmers to prioritise where to use pesticides, in order to decrease the use of pesticides in the EU. For these things AI systems work really well, since it’s just prioritising regions.

It’s a bad idea to use it to make discrete decisions.

Yes, and the researchers I know doing stuff with AI find the idea of AGI laughable.

LLMs are a type of AI

This seems really cool for tiling windows managers (even Windows has tiling options, although I’m not familiar with those). That being said, I still prefer a multimonitor setup on my tiling WM of choice.

I’m from in Belgium, and have colleagues from countries from both sides of the second world war. The carpet bombing of cities is still talked about every now and then. It’s still remembered as one of the worst tragedies during that war (apart from the obvious), and the scars it left in many family trees still pain the people to this day.

Hearing stories from Gaza and the Donbas always remind me of the stories I used to hear from my grandfather, and I believed we left those war tactics behind in the last century. It’s absolutely insane hearing an allied country to ours debating using those tactics again.

If you ever have to switch, I can vouch for Kodi. I’m using it with the plugins for YouTube, national TV, Arte and my own local media storage. The downside is that those plugins aren’t officially supported tho

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the answer!

I hope the YouTube Kodi plugin stays working, otherwise I’ll have to write a script to download all latest videos in my subscription to my home server.

I didn’t know programming.dev censored words, that’s disappointing

I know quite a lot of people doing research into AI. Some from my own background in applied mathematics, and some from my partners partner’s background in computational linguistics. They all have very different ideas about the future of AI, but they all laugh about the idea of a generic AGI.

O yeah, Igorrr is amazing!

but I’m impressed with how nice IDM and metal plays on them

Industrial Doom Metal?

Ire-inducing Depeche Mode?

Irish Derpy Music?

Instructional Defense Material?

Our QA manager is one of the founders of our company, so the work his team does is amazing. Doesn’t take away I get a heart attack any time I get a message from him…

Oberton I think
