Gemini in general is extremely fast, compared to ChatGPT 5 Thinking. It also seems to excel at things ChatGPT 5 Thinking isn't good at. Simple things like "Here's a screenshot of text, please transcribe it" - ChatGPT 5 T

Much worse, if for no other reason than applying it and having it leave behind a white residue on your skin makes people much less likely to reapply once it rubs off. I always pack my own sunscreen when traveling to islands that ban normal

Simply put, when the economy is in the shitter, the federal reserve lowers interest rates. When the economy is doing well, interest rates tend to go up.

I can't link since it's in an enterprise account. Interestingly I tried the same question in a separate ChatGPT account and it gave a similar response you got. Maybe it was pulling context from the (separate) chat thread where it

Not sure what your system prompt is, but asking the exact same prompt word for word for me results in a response talking about "Zealandia, a continent that is 93% submerged underwater." The 2nd example isn't all that impressi

I don’t think I’ve ever seen ChatGPT 5 refuse to answer any prompt I’ve ever given it. I’m doing 20+ chats a day. What’s an example prompt where it will say “idk”? Edit: Just tried a silly one, asking it to tell me about the 8th continent

Agree, I usually force thinking mode too. I actually like the "Thinking mini" option that was just released recently, good middle ground between getting an instant answer and waiting 1-2 minutes.

I replied in the same thread "Are you sure that sounds like a low dose". It stuck to the (correct) recommendation in the 2nd response, but added in a few use cases for higher doses. So seems like it stuck to its guns for the most

Refusing hacking prompts would be like outlawing Burpsuite. It might slow someone down, but it won’t stop anyone. Perhaps vibe hacking is the cure against vibe coding. I’m not concerned about people generating hacking scripts, but am conce

Why would DNS caching skew results? I don’t think Cloudflare is using DNS queries to compile the stats considering they have visibility into the full http requests for sites they proxy. Edit: Another comment mentions DNS queries. Did I mis

This should be a non-issue if you use Apple’s privacy settings to limit Facebook to only have access to the photos you want to use. I’d highly recommend never granting any app full access to your photos.

The only reason unit economics aren't generally used for software companies is the profit margin is typically 80%+. The cost of posting a Tweet on Twitter/X is close to $0. Compare the cost of tweeting to the cost of submitting a

In theory, they'd be incentivized by the free market to provide the best coverage for the lowest cost to retain and get new customers. But not sure how well that holds up in practice.

I sort of always assumed OpenAI was constantly training the next new model. I wonder what percent of compute goes towards training vs. inference. If it’s a meaningful percent, you could possibly dial down training to make room for high infe

Is Advanced Voice mode any better than it was a month or 2 ago? I had to stop using it because with the “upgrade” a few months back, it felt like its IQ was slashed in half. Constantly giving short and half baked lazy answers.

I’m not saying it’s a bad idea. Only saying it won’t satisfy the people who don’t like the “SSO tax”. There’s no difference between giving someone a discount vs. charging them less in the first place without a discount. It’s semantics. It w

Are you saying companies should provide a discount for not using SSO? Or charge everyone the enterprise price to remove segmentation altogether? Edit: I think I see what you’re saying. Although you’d likely welcome the same criticism if yo

I’m also not sure why you’re not seeing the main issue. Common meeting recording tools do not require consent, and the UX promotes a UX that discourages consent. Just today, Notion launched a new feature in their desktop app which causes a
