  • This echoes my thoughts. I really suck at writing emails in my native tongue, and having something I can prompt to write an email for me would be useful. I don’t want it to be trained on my emails to replicate my style or whatever, I’d just want an LLM on the side that I can prompt to write for me. I’ve done that with other LLMs in the past without having to integrate it anywhere.

    I don’t particularly care for facial recognition. I don’t take photos of people.



  • Well I suppose the question really is; how many Firefox iOS/iPad OS are there in the EU and does that amount of users make it worth maintaining another 1-2 apps for the EU market, while dealing with Apple’s shenanigans? Like Firefox Browser for iOS and iPad, as well as Firefox Focus are already 2 apps, if you want to replace the back-end specifically for the EU you’d have to maintain that back-end, deal with Apple working against you, and maintain separate versions of those apps specifically for the EU.

    It’s worth noting that Firefox for iOS is already leaps and bounds behind Firefox for Android in terms of UX. There are features missing that they could add regardless of whether they are using WKWebView or not, but they haven’t, either because Apple doesn’t want competition, or because they don’t consider the Firefox browser on iOS to be particularly high priority.

    If the latter, why on Earth would they port Gecko to iOS/iPad OS when a vanishingly small subset of users might use it? I am a European Firefox user, but I don’t use Firefox on iOS because the UX compared to Safari is incredibly lacklustre. Switching the back-end to Gecko wouldn’t do anything to fix that.

    I’m not sure what you’re asking is even possible, for various reasons. A seed is a value used to generate other values. The procedural map generation in Minecraft is deterministic, meaning that if you provide the same seed, and use the same map generation algorithm, then whenever you generate a world using that seed it will end up identical.

    The map generation procedure changes a bit from version to version though, so a seed in the early Java versions of Minecraft won’t map 1:1 to current Java or bedrock versions.

    What you’re asking is to draw an approximate map, and from that determine the seed. That feels much more complicated, I’m not sure the process is reversible.

    That said, I’m not super into Minecraft and could be entirely wrong. I’m approaching this from the perspective of a developer.
