Will we also see a GPT-5.5-Codex version of this model? Or will the same version of it be served both in the web app and in Codex?

I don’t understand why these bets are allowed at all. Can one just make an account there and bet in anything? The whole “prediction market” charade is increasingly proving to lend itself to abuse. I hope regulations catch up with it soon, o

I also liked the part about growing the company while reducing its carbon footprint by more than 60%. Even if that figure might somehow be inflated, it is impressive nonetheless.

I don’t closely follow the news about Apple and now I’m wondering why they decided to go forward with this change at this moment. As the world undergoes increasing supply chain issues, wouldn’t it be in Apple’s best interest to keep Tim Coo

Meta does both. It has long been said that businesses have little organic reach in Meta’s platforms, as an incentive for them to use ads.

I agree. And even if those workers stay in the U.S., there’s absolutely no guarantee that they’ll do their best to favor the government’s interests — quite the opposite, if anything. At the end of the day it’s a matter of incentives, and go

The problem with forcing public policy on companies is that companies are ultimately made from individuals, and surely you can’t force public policy down people’s throats. I’m sure nothing good can come out of strong-arming some of the brig

> Downtime doesn't allow multi-day hour settings. For instance, try setting downtime from 8pm - 8am. I’m running iOS 18.7.1 and I can do that just fine. Maybe it wasn’t possible before, but it certainly is now.

They can always pivot to their Search-via-API business :) It takes lots of servers to build a search engine index, and there’s nothing to indicate that this will change in the near future.

Besides disabling copying, another annoying practice is when websites hijack the clipboard to add copyright info to copied text fragments. I can barely understand showing a pop-up to request source attribution when copying content online. H

These days LinkedIn is a cesspool of AI-generated feel-good “inspirational” content anyway… I don’t see anything good coming out of training models from its user data.

I for one find it much, much more fair to have the queue or the lottery systems. If it can be paired with anti-scalper measures such as truly non-transferable tickets or banning resales at a profit, even better. But of course the problem ru

Great idea and execution, congratulations! I used to learn songs from piano tutorials like these, too, and had to do the manual work of annotating keys and chords. It’s nice to see a very real pain point being eliminated — maybe I’ll even f

I believe the attention to detail that sets Monodraw apart can be transposed to the web as well — albeit diverging from MacOS conventions. It’s possible to make great web apps, it just takes the kind of care and dedication that @milen has a

I wish I had the money and the know-how to do things like that. In a world where many companies are downright hostile to user needs and preferences, we need more DIY electronics — not less.

Given that spellcheckers are mostly stable tech, I wonder why Google’s spellchecker in Gmail, or even in Chrome in “enhanced” mode, is so bad. Even Microsoft Word, being a local app and everything, manages to work better than Google’s cloud
