Reminds me of this story of the wifi that only worked when it rained

This is a problem with the add-on store, not the browser. Do the forks have their own add-on stores? Or do they just use the same one that Mozilla provides? To the best of my knowledge, the only forks that have their own stores are the ones that wouldn’t be able to use Firefox plugins anyway (e.g. Palemoon).

I don’t think forking Firefox is going to change what you see in the add-on store. You would need someone to run their own store. Or just install the plugin manually.

That’s how things work in the AI community. Publications all go through various conferences and journals that are free to submit to. In many of these avenues, if you submit something, the cost is to get a certain number of papers reviewed (not necessarily doing it yourself, but you have to find someone capable of doing it). The publications are then made freely available for anyone to read. Everything is organized by the research community for the benefit of that same community.

It’s also the only viable route to doing science for most people. So even if you’re aware of the problem, you just have to grit your teeth and play the game if you want to pursue your passion.

Ooh, that looks cool. Thanks for the recommendation.

Everyone still uses LaTeX for CS/Math at my school. It’s not an age thing. Just different circles. I don’t think anything similar even comes close to LaTeX yet.

“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”

This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.

… are you not supposed to look at one eye at a time?

This needs to have multiple levels of “openness” to distinguish between having access to the code, the dataset, a documented training procedure, and the final weights. I wouldn’t consider it fully open unless these are all available, but I still appreciate getting something over nothing, and I think that should be encouraged.

Food preference is very individual, so understandably, not everyone is going to have the same tastes as him. But that’s a pretty poor reason to favour a different voice when it comes to objective claims on food science.

The flame does touch the food. At least, according to the Kenji quote in the article.

As far as I can tell, we’re just paying for the reputation of the journal.

Personally, I can’t use bookmarks because if they’re out of sight, they get forgotten. Keeping things in an open tab is like having the browser constantly bugging me to remind me that I have to do this thing. It doesn’t guarantee that it gets addressed in a timely manner, but with the alternative it’s guaranteed to not be done at all.

It also helps to keep my place in my work. There’s things that I’ll always have open because I need quick access to them and don’t want the friction of trying to find the page to lead to procrastination. Same with anything that’s relevant to work in progress.

And if they do find it, it’ll all be kept hush hush, they’ll force an update on everyone with no explanation, some people will do everything in their power to refuse because they need to keep their legacy software running, and the exploit stays alive in the wild.

Instructions unclear. Stash is 35 tall and I’m scared to look at what’s been fermenting at the bottom.

Very relatable. Especially when it’s less effort to make the change than it is to try and ignore it. But it’s understandably harder for those who are reviewing your work.

That confused me for the longest time because colloquially, “to have cake” means to consume cake, so why can’t I eat my cake and also eat my cake?

So for those who continue to be confused by this, “have your cake” means having the cake sitting in front of you untouched. Maybe you want to admire it because it’s pretty or save it for later. Whatever NT people usually do with cake.
