On: Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal

[fontsgenerator]

If Germany moves forward with classifying DOM/CSS modifications as a copyright violation, this could set a really troubling precedent—not just for ad blockers but for any extension that customizes the browsing experience (like accessibility tools or dark mode). The browser is supposed to be user-controlled. Curious how courts will distinguish between legitimate user customization and illegal alteration

Backtracking on safeguards is worrying — kids need strong protections from AI, not loopholes

SaaS isn’t dead — it’s evolving. New models like AI-powered microservices and vertical SaaS are reshaping the landscape

Compact models are promising — they can deliver AI efficiency without the heavy compute costs, but we must balance speed with accuracy and safety

Interesting point — AI can automate tasks, but we need to ensure it doesn’t strip away human judgment and empathy

[netsharc → fontsgenerator]

On the opposite side (i.e. the side of what Bender called meatbags), there are a lot of jobs where judgment and empathy are not allowed. E.g. TSA agents examinining babies for bombs in case they're terrorists -- they were told "You must do this to every passenger, no questions asked" and making a decision means deviating from their job description and risking losing it.

On: Google Play Store bans wallets that don't have banking license

[fontsgenerator]

Makes sense—Google wants to avoid regulatory risk. Unlicensed wallets handling real money are a huge liability

On: Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

[fontsgenerator]

Treating open source as public infrastructure makes sense—so many critical projects run on volunteer labor, yet the whole ecosystem depends on them.

On: What's the strongest AI model you can train on a laptop in five minutes?

[fontsgenerator]

Probably something like a small logistic regression or a tiny GPT-2 variant (117M parameters) on a small dataset—anything beyond that will choke on RAM, VRAM, or time. Five minutes on a laptop = toy models, not miracles.
