I'm ok with them chasing ethical applications of AI. I'm more tired of their half-assed efforts to chase every shiny new object over the last few years. It feels like as a non-profit, they should be comparatively immune to chasing the same transitory trends that other shareholder-owned companies are obsessed over. But it seems like for Mozilla, they have an even shorter attention span than their corporate competitors. We've seen them chase after crypto, metaverse, augmented reality, Firefox OS, and now AI. All of those efforts fizzled out with a whimper.

Critiquing Mozilla when they make mistakes is not the same as hating them. It is healthy to keep these organizations accountable

One can and should critique a company when they make mistakes.

I adore Firefox. Just tired of Mozilla trying features (FF Panorama) and hobbies (Notes) and then abandoning them

Yes, I'm grandfathered into the old cost, or I'd definitely pivot and move to Omnivore

I was cool with them buying Pocket. But as a long time user of Pocket, I feel it has horribly stagnated. Far more features have been lost than have been gained.

It is pathetic in a way how desperate they are to prop themselves up with taxpayer funds. They know their ideas can't succeed on their own merits. They need state muscle to help coerce people to believe their myths.

I just donated to Freedom From Religion Foundation, which files lawsuits challenging attempts like this to undermine church-state separation

Ultimately, the zoo failed to protect its animals from the guests as much as the other way around. Humans are the most unpredictable animals in any zoo. It is horrible that the tiger had to pay the price

Yes, it has never been the best in terms of relevance or depth of index. But lately when I do searches for something like "cherry shrimp aquarium water quality requirements" I've been overwhelmed by AI-written SEO blogs. Where google still pulls up results from forums, reddit, other relevant actual humans talking.

Yes, and DDG has really been degrading over the last few months in quality of results imo.

He has a bit of a thing for this (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

I think it should be the suits and shareholders who destroyed Boeing's engineer-first culture.

I watched some of the Paralympics and found it fascinating how the players navigate the court, and how the crowd makes sure to stay quiet. Really unique sport!

Within a particular core, the lines can be calibrated (set to a known base point) by radiocarbon dating, comparing to known marker events such as a fire, and also integrating records across trees to create stitched meta-records. Doing so they can also start to estimate the "instrumental" error of the tree itself, since trees can just stop growth entirely sometimes.

Ha exactly. I learn so much cool stuff on that channel!

Whoops, this has already been posted by @Plum@lemmy.world !

I am a birder myself, but their slang is mostly cringe to me.

Yep, it lives up to the best of what immersive sims set out to be. You have point A, point B, and a million ways that you can go about getting from A to B

I do remember that moment I first read about hyperloop. Before that, I was as fooled as anyone else by Musk's BS. It was the first time I remember doing a double take and thinking, wow, this guy is operating on bad faith here. What else is he saying that is actually bullshit?

The fish had it coming. They are too exclusive. Need to open up and get better PR

Wash it down with a single malt

Yes, all the little wobbles stick out and they always look dirty. And while other Teslas can look nice with a wrap, for some reason CTs with a wrap look extra plasticky

To me, Ctrl Alt Ego is not well known enough. It is an immersive sim in the style of Prey. You play as a robot roaming a station, where your Ego (like a spirit) can pass into and control all sorts of objects to solve puzzles, evade, control or kill enemies. The graphics aren't impressive (it was made by a 2-person team) but the gameplay is so interesting and the story is surprisingly compelling and funny!

Yeah, definitely. Just that those recycling approaches need to be planned ahead of time.

I think the article isn't clear about the extent they are still used! Would be great to add that in. I first heard of these when Westerners were saying "why don't we use these instead of styrofoam?!" not considering the resource and disposal concerns that would come with mass quantities of earthenware

I tend to order the patty melt as my initial measure of the quality of a greasy spoon joint

Well, it might have been judged by elderly Kentuckians who haven't seen porn since it was shot on film, if ever. So I don't find it surprising they went "Wow, super detailed couch! Give this guy a prize!"
