Sure. But why make this a New Year's Resolution instead of a more open ended resolution? Also what make you think Mozilla would tamper with ublock origin?

Haven't you heard about the millions of dollars trying to 'convince' the CEO of doing so?

giving up Mozilla, or uBlock Origin? the title seems ambiguous for me

fl4tul4 · a month ago

Just to be accurate then: "it" refers to Mozilla (all and any products).

It'll be the last straw for me.

The strange case of "TLA+" topics reaching HN's Front Page without any reason.

Not to disagree with your point but why does literally any discussion must have a mention of AI/LLMs?

Is it possible not to bring them up and still have a deep conversation?

I guess the whole discussion (in 1963, in 2025), is about 'knowledge acquisition' (or lack thereof). He mentions the Brazilian students memorising 'stuff' without understanding - as a former Brazilian educator, I can tell you that when I was working there in 2010-2020, it hadn't changed, and, to my point, got worse in late years. I think a lot of students care about 'getting a diploma' without actually learning something, but my main concern is about fairness: how could I praise good students from 'devious' students altogether?

Fast-forward to 2025.

The same problems still exist, exacerbated by the prevalence of LLMs and no detection mechanisms whatsoever.

The recipe for disaster.
