It’s something to do with the TypeScript engine, it must be. I can also run IntelliJ fine with a huge Java project a but it’s TypeScript projects that grind it to a halt. It’s unusable on my work PC but the performance is still poor on my home PC. It’s been a steady decline since 2023

I didn’t read the paper but I know OR has an option to opt-in to reading/training off the prompts for a discount. Some free models also log, but I’m not sure if that is just the provider, or OR too

Is this propaganda or gross naivety? It’s a corrupt dystopian hellscape where people starve regularly, and are exiled. The forced smiling puts Disney Land to shame.

Why do you think you need a guide to go past a certain point? The only other country I know of where a guide is required is North Korea.

No offence to the author here but it reads like a wealthy WASP going to an “exotic” culture pointing out how “quaint” it is and how we can “learn so much” from their “way of living”.

Indefinitely, not permanently

It’s no different from people who undergo gastric bypass surgery. Those with food addictions/habits manifest them elsewhere such as gambling, or if they are seriously addicted, they continue to eat which bursts their band.

My wife is back devouring cookies after being on mounjaro for 4 months. Thankfully she lost most weight all by herself so wasn’t totally reliant on the medication. But it’s crazy how noticeable the difference of one’s eating habits when on and off it.

Marvin Minsky, Lawrence Krauss, Steven Pinker, and Noam Chomsky all have academia as their common denominator - I wonder why Epstein was so interested in them, because they have a large amount of sway in academia?

Mercury is in retrograde

If you are so sure about that why wouldn’t they make it a domestic law instead of an EU wide law? I’m not American nor Danish and I certainly do not trust my government. Kind of naive - no one should trust their government in this day and age.

It’s also convenient that Denmark is essentially the US’ eyes and ears in Europe, who even spied on other nations for them.

Everyone is unserious about phones except Apple these days unfortunately. I hate IOS but there’s nothing today that seems better.

DeepSeek obliterated Meta’s AI and their strategy. Even now there are alternatives to DeepSeek like Qwen. I don’t know how they will recover from it. I don’t know what they can offer other than additional ham fisted AI integration into their products, or doubling down on their already underwhelming VR/AR experiences

Tried to use openrouter with web search with Grok for this purpose yesterday. It got the date right but all of the news was months old, like the Mt. Etna eruption.

It’s pretty disappointing. It seems like a “trivial” task

I am Irish, we are not an ethnostate whatsoever. Truthfully I don’t know why we have citizenship by descent but Irish people roll their eyes at Americans with Irish ancestry.

It’s not about ethnicity though, it’s familial lineage. If your grandfather was Bangladeshi and moved to Ireland and was a citizen, then his descendants moved to the US, they would be entitled to Irish citizenship.

There are no ethnostates in Europe anymore unfortunately. Every European city is indistinguishable from New York these days

Tourism metrics are pointless and I'm surprised no one thought of a better way to measure these rankings involving freedom to work, freedom to live, access to embassies, geopolitical power etc

No it really doesn't matter. This crap is just a vanity metric to make people feel better about themselves or to feel self-righteous.

You just need to look at the countries that require a tourist(!) visa of Americans, the vast majority are irrelevant. I can't wait to go to Eritrea, too bad I need a visa :(

Tourism is not a big deal either, I think freedom to work/live is a much better metric, but obviously the USA is not great in that regard. The USA is the strongest passport because it is the only passport that allows permanent residency and/or visa free travel in the US, aside from Canada and a few billionaire tax haven islands or other stragglers.

>maybe even culturally

Yes, in my country young women have an American accent from watching TikTok.

It’s Netanyahu. Dramatic loaded title not matching the article’s title.

When I was around 10 years old I remember us asking the teacher why not just print money to solve the worlds problems and the teacher scoffing. It took me another 15 years to realise that’s basically what central banks do, especially these last five years. BTC is at $125k, gold at $4000, and every other week we are inundated with some multi-hundred billion dollar deals somewhere or other. All this talk about multi GW data centers where one will notice the consumer is no where to be found, just like an extension lead plugged into itself.

Are we supposed to pretend that this is normal? Does anyone not feel like this push for AI is a last ditch effort to save the global stock market, that it MUST work out?

Parents should be mature enough to not take a scandalous social media company too seriously without any scrutiny.

Note I’m not saying that Facebook don’t profit from being as ineffectual as possible, but ultimately that parents should know better.

My parents didn’t know how to turn on a PC or use a phone and they knew what I was looking at or talking to until I was 16 years old.

There are all kinds of services that parents can use now to filter this even further than what was possible 10-15 years ago

I generally hate social media and their antics but the one thing I’m taking their side on, is this. Children’s exposure to content on the internet is a parenting issue. It is impossible for Meta, ByteDance etc to filter any and all possible content that may not be suitable for minors. Parents should know that.

Zuckerberg famously doesn’t (didn’t?) let his children use Facebook. Perhaps everyone else should take a hint.

A Zionist one*

I started using X a few weeks ago and I’m already seeing it impact my mind negatively. It is pure controlled and distilled propaganda that’s clearly made to intentionally shape how we think, across the different skinner boxes that is each different social media platform. I’ll be deleting my account.

Reddit is by far the worst though since everything is clearly botted yet people pretend it’s organic leading to a kind of false sense of security that what you see is curated and willed by the “people”.

It’s far more than “engagement” and the “algorithm” - it’s beyond that It’s all blatantly manufactured as some Aquino-esque psyop.

My parents didn’t care about the details of my education yet I did well. I don’t think most parents ever cared so it doesn’t explain the decline. I had discipline instilled in me however, and I am guessing that’s what is lacking nowadays.

Not the first time this has happened. It’s very strange. Elon is willing to risk breaking the laws of the EU, Brazil and the UK yet caters to Turkish law with seemingly no resistance whatsoever.

Yes, this argument is also used against the US’ second amendment. The rights of everyone are more important than a few dead mentally ill people.

Yes?

No thanks. I’d rather form my own opinions.

>the “demagogue” who allows free expression is more of a tyrant than a state who blocks wrongthink

Okay

It depends how you use it. If you exclusively used 4o and o3 then it is better now. But if you’re like me who used all models it’s worse. 4.5 was amazing for writing and still far better than ChatGPT 5. 5 thinking is probably better than o3, but I used mini-high for minor thinking tasks. That’s just not possible anymore due to the quota.

They really nerfed Plus[0]. 80 messages every 3 hours for normal GPT-5. And only 200 messages per week for GPT-5 Thinking. It seems like terrible value.

Before it was: 100 o3 per week 100 o4-mini-high per day 300 o4-mini per day 50 4.5 per week
