Macron Ready to Send Troops to Ukraine if Russia Approaches Kyiv or Odesa
  • There is one important difference when it comes to what rhetoric is suitable between France and Russia, I think. Russia has control over the narrative within it's land, about the media and limits free speech. If Russia doesn't follow up on it's threads, there are no internal consequences and externally, Russia might lose some credibility but still say an unpredictable danger. I think France has a lot more to loose when not following up on their threads / red lines. In terms of diplomacy with other countries, internally with the government appearing weak to its citizens and towards Russia too.

  • Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox
  • Yeah, I guess your point stands. But also, it's 221 mio for Mozilla as a whole. Firefox might again be a fraction of this. While e.g. the Linux foundation has a lower budget, with all the contributed work hours of volunteers / corporations, a fork of Firefox is more realistic than the 500 mio make it out to be.

  • Happened to me multiple times

    It's basically like a copy of the original repository. But you can pull in and merge changes from the original, make a pull request for the original to pull your changes. Fork+pull request enables you to contribute to someone else's repository. Things like Chromium are in part forks of Safari, just that they diverged over time.

  • Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox
  • Mozilla has a budget of around 200 mil for software development, so the 7 mil are probably not enough. Not defending the high pay though.

    Also, AI Integration into browsers could very well be a deciding factor for mainstream users when choosing a browser. So having some expertise around e.g. running LLMs privacy preserving on client hardware for page summarisation could pay off. Llamafile for example, is something cool coming from the Mozilla AI stuff.

  • Meta admits using pirated books to train AI, but won't pay for it
  • Google does not just show a link. It scrapes the content of the page to build a search index, i.e. consomes the content. This happens without explicit permission and in the past, there were no opt-out ways. Then they use this knowledge to provide search go users and incorporate ads to make money without paying the original pages. Google also started to show you these handy answers by showing some text section scraped from the page.

    Like, there certainly is a similarity. And there is the difference that Google mostly feeds users to the original webpage while GenAI can replace the content.

  • There is no such thing as too many fans...
  • Might be the out of memory killer. For me, Mach (Firefox's build tool) usually did a multi-processed build assuming around 1 GB RAM per thread. Run ./mach build -j10 to limit the build to e.g. 10 threads. Or set mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=10 in your config file.
