Huh? If the goal is compliance, you wouldn't use something that's worse for compliance - which is why the Legal and Security wouldn't like it. If it helped with compliance, they'd love it! So the reason can't be c

SamA is in a hurry because he's set to lose the race. We're at peak valuation and he needs to convert something now . If the entrenched giants (Google, Microsoft and Apple) catch up - and Google 100% has, if not surpassed - they

IE once captured all of the value in browserland, with even much higher mindshare and market dominance than OpenAI has ever had. Comparing with Apple (= physical products) is Apples to oranges (heh). Their relationship with MS breaking do

Who uses PWA for work-related apps though? There too, the standard is MDN which uses a curated version of the app stores.

Apart from the crazy dog, the style has similarities to "Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels" by Jean Fouquet[1], from a somewhat similar era (1452). If you search for "Early Netherlandish paintings" you'll find

Why not use AnswerOverflow to make the chats indexed and searchable? It's definitely a lot better than nothing, multiple times it has already helped me find answers to questions I had.

Not OP, but most of my experience is in backend yet I find current LLMs better at backend code than at frontend code :)

They've been doing this in Korea for a decade already, funny to read it now framed as a new development. I guess the news hadn't spread to the English-speaking world. In fact, over here every brand does it. Even US brands like HP

Most of this was written by an LLM, with the writer doing post-editing. Susprised not to see any other comments on this yet! That doesn't mean it's a bad piece, I think it's a good writeup.

Everyone games the benchmarks, but a lot is pointing towards both Meta and OpenAI going to even further lengths than the others.

Gemini 2.5 Pro is widely considered superior to 3.7 Sonnet now by heavy users, but they don't have an SWE-bench score. Shows that looking at one such benchmark isn't very telling. Main advantage over Sonnet being that it's be
