    I see a lot of people shit on Firefox for integrating LLM-related features. What the blog post points out and people fail to recognize is that if Mozilla stopped maintaining Firefox, almost all of its forks would die.

    You’re misreading why people are shitting on FF. It would have been nice if Firefox had actually worked on literally any other features in the last decade, like not trashing support for PWAs. Instead, we got nothing but stupid partnerships with companies for features not one wanted, and a succession of failures in the CEO seat of Firefox.

    So, yeah, I guess I don’t think it"s realistic for Firefox to have ignored the LLM craze entirely, but man, they could have managed that Google money better.




  • Classless interdomain routing is not the point of this post, but basically we started giving people more options for network sizes, and while complex in implementation, it was philosophically virtually uncontroversial.

    You’re talking about 2 different things here. Bit masking part of what is now CIDR was implementable since the mid 90s on network segments, it’s the logic to route packets based on CIDR that was integrated into RIP, GRIP, and BGP.

    Also, CIDR can’t alleviate multi-hop routing address exhaustion.
