Any improvement to the ChatGPT free plan is really nice. It's easy to forget that most people have never used a SOTA model, and only think of their experience with GPT-4o or Google Search's AI Overviews when asked about AI.

I think it's nice to be able to make the model reason for dozens of minutes when you want to go deep on a topic, even if the router thinks it's an easy question.

It really depends on the difficulty level chosen by the website. I'm testing on both a Xiaomi Redmi 5 and my university library's computer.

The solution is building simpler and more efficient websites. You won't win the arms race, so make it irrelevant. Any random VPS hosting a static website can already serve millions of requests an hour.

Anthropic has been surprisingly bad at comms for the last few months, which I find crazy in such a competitive market.

I recently tried Pangram, created an account, wrote a few lines about how my day went, and it was flagged as likely AI-assisted. It clearly doesn't work. It's especially bad that they keep insisting that it works very well, becaus

Blocking bots should not be the default behavior, it should be opt-in. Is Cloudflare trying to play both sides in order to secure a fee on every pay-to-crawl in the future?

Bills are imo way easier to manage and carry, especially when you don't have a wallet, which is why I prefer the US system, but I agree that durability is the main issue.

I'm in Paris and can confirm that most ATMs don't give €5 bills, but some do, and it's pretty nice to withdraw a stack of fresh, brand new €5 bills that are way more convenient than coins.

I try to pay everything in cash as much as I can, so it's nice to see the banknotes get some love from the ECB (even though the absence of €1 and €2 banknotes still hurts…). I think it's a bit strange to feature people on these, p

Adult websites have already been age-gated in France for a while, and it's not going well: almost two years later, there's still no privacy-friendly way to verify your age, and almost everyone I know is using a VPN. This is stupid
