I've been throwing opus 5.5 at problems I got stuck on with sonnet in the past and it has breezed through them all. It really reinforced how far the models have come.

There's a few very annoying audio and Bluetooth bugs on MacOS. I've even installed 3rd party software to hack a fix one of them.
Firefox provides a much better experience than Safari.

Ok, three persons.
Yep, my first thought is they probably are probably getting the candidate push notifications from snowflake.
Chinas actions following the event includes the destruction of evidence, refusal of access and using the WHO as their personal mouthpiece. Unless history is rewritten too, every textbook should clearly point to China.
The future of the internet is here. I get blocked from even visiting the site.

Surprised this hasn't blown up more!
They probably meant 1 employee part time for 5 years on a project that was never a priority.

Nobody gets fired largely copying eachother. Releasing something new and risky often isn't worth it, sadly.
An increasing proportion of UK citizens are deciding not to pay for a TV licence that funds the BBC as consumption patterns have changed.

The BBC will be a zombie in 10 years unless they stop being emotionally driven and sort out their funding.

This will cause some major headaches.
Re:Firefox Has Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine on Saturday April 25, 2026 @03:55AM (#47899587)
Apple only does things to progress their own business model. Apple failed at becoming an ad business so they pivoted to subscriptions and app revenue. Now they are building an ad business. Just look at their ad revenue.

Apple doesn't care about privacy, its a convenient USP.
Good fun, my highest was 30, it took a while!
Re:So you want to write an “app” (2025) on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @03:46AM (#47320191)
I'm a semi-retarded product manager that was interested in what it was like building linux desktop apps. With a hand from Claude, I was surprised to get a simple Gnome/gtk widget that was functional and understandable. I was also able to iterate on it without any headaches.

I like the idea of this, so will definitely check it out!
""Apple has better app selection (for most people). Apple has been increasingly implementing the core features that differentiate Android devices, like USB-C and RCS.""

You mean Apple has been forced by regulators to implement core features like USB-C and RCS?

It's easy to discover an exploit when you're hallucinating:)

I thought the same, except I realised some of the reports were submitted back in 2023 before AI slop exploded.

Re:Canada's Carney called out for 'utilizing' British spelling on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @01:15PM (#46292066)
As a British person working for an American company, my spelling at work is an inconsistent mess.
I would like to skip most of my meetings, but it would likely damage most of my working relationships.

Performance reasons LOL. Apple fans love plausible deniability.
Anthropic feels like a one trick pony as most users dont need or want anthropic products.

However, I speak with a small subset of our most experienced engineers and they all love Claude Sonnet 4.5. Who knows if this lead will last.

The content you consume has a large influence in your education and career.

If you get recommendations for "Technology" and someone of the opposite sex doesn't its completely discriminatory.

If you don't think its a problem then you likely dont understand how recommendation systems work.

The only way recommendations could work is you would explicitly state preferences for everything upfront and no engagement data is used.

I dont think you understand the implications of banning this. In principle you ban any kind of content recommendation. Reddit, Netflix, YouTube, Twitter, etc.
