Running Linux directly on ARM is the dream, but this looks slow. So for now I'm stuck with UTM VM's on the Mac.

What a trendy article, in tune with our recently linear-algebraic turn in how we see language thanks to LLM's.

But I think this exposes an even greater problem, where words thought to be direct translations will always drift in vector value as they are weighted for attention within their respective corpora. Are we on the brink of translation-nihilism?

This isn't even limited to complex phenomena or shades of snow. Even "I like" is a different construction in many languages, in an unexpected way to new language learners.

I'm tired of software getting out of its lane. For an OS, I just want it to run shit. For a browser, load web shit. Why does it need to do AI?

Can Firefox do the bare minimum? It doesn't even have dark mode, which Chrome has had for years.

I don't want pocket, "Normandy" (botnet), Mozilla Sync, Mozilla shilling a VPN and checking all my emails against darknet lists, none of that, certainly not by default. Just render web fast, don't phone home, give me dark mode and a decent reader mode, put fucking RSS back in.

Worst of all is that it's polyester, basically a piece of plastic. I hope this product fails just because of that.

Nice try. Maybe when Democrats decide to uphold their own values and defend the working class, people will come back in from the cold. Until then, burning it all down is perfectly understandable. Betrayal stings and vengeance sometimes takes the form of scorched earth. At least with the Republican Party people know what they're getting.

As long as the Democratic Party keeps its current shape, people will continue to distrust it.
