  • AI has been paying of for decades, it is used in all industries for appropriate tasks.

    Now it is even better we are doing stuff no one thought it could be possible and advancing our work.

    Perfect use case is for things that are simple to do but take too much time to be economical for humans (ex. counting products, plants, trees, cars, disease detection…) and using additional data to make better decisions.

    Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.









  • Here is some explanation from firefox dev from two years ago https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/md63k4/comment/gs8mo2t/

    The answer is complicated.

    Mobile operating systems don’t have swap space. When running multiple apps, a mobile OS needs to be more aggressive at freeing memory than desktop operating systems do. They do this by terminating background processes. The OS uses various heuristics to decide which process(es) to kill.

    The problem that you’re seeing is not intentional on our part; there isn’t something in Firefox that says, “unload everything whenever I go into the background.” Instead, it is caused by the content processes being terminated by Android itself.

    We know that Chromium-based browsers seem to be working better in this regard. We do not yet have a clear picture about what specifically is causing our content process to be a frequent target.

    We’re in the process of collecting additional telemetry to help us diagnose this. I’ve also landed a patch that helps to clean up content process memory usage when Android tells us that it needs memory, in the hope that it will reduce the likelihood of a content process termination. We’re also testing Nightly with multiple content processes enabled, which may help.

    At any rate, I wouldn’t call this problem an intentional design decision, nor would I call it solved. We’re doing what we can to learn more about it and get it fixed at some point.

    Sounds to me android is by design letting chrome based browsers and killing everything else.

    In my tilling wm (xmonad and before that ion3) all software is always full screen and I have them in “tabs" per “desktop” aka “tag”'.

    It is so nice to have everything available via keyboard, after decade of same setup I don’t even think where is what.

    And xmonad is soooo good with multiple monitors, nothing comes close.


  • I can not watch the video now but I have read description.

    Thing is I see them more as entertainers than IT professionals, so I don’t expect any valid data from them. If not before, it became obvious with the whole Linux for a month fiasco where he complains that it’s Linux’s falult he deleted important packages.

    But I get it, youtube is forcing this dramatic, often, high performing videos on all creators. You can see it explained very often by various youtubers.

    Of course they care more about quantity, because Algorithm will punish them for not publishing and they will disappear.

    No one living from youtube can not be trusted right now, they are all forced to publish often clickbity dramatic videos.
