SweetSoftPillowon It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta

Duolingo has nothing to do with self improvement, it's just a shiny presentation for highly addictive game.

We should reward quality of engagement, not just length of it.

SweetSoftPillowon Domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0B birds and 6.3–22.3B mammals annually

Istanbul has very few rats compared to other major global cities, largely because hundreds of thousands of community street cats keep the rodent population under strict control.

SweetSoftPillowon Wi-Fi 8 is the first wireless upgrade in years that isn't chasing speed

> which indeed no device currently supports

Aren't devices with Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200/BE202 are supporting that?

As well as latest Samsung phones?

SweetSoftPillowon GPT 5.6 Sol is the best "vision" model OpenAI ever released

In my practice Gemini models are far better than anything on the market in terms of vision, also it's worth to mention that current Gemini flash is 3.7, so it got 2 updates since 3.5 which beat GPT-5.6 Sol in this comparison.

SweetSoftPillowon ChatGPT Desktop (Codex Desktop) for Linux

You have "send feedback" button in the app. Something tells me that it's much better place to report issues with the app rather than comment section on unrelated website.

SweetSoftPillowon Google fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI

It's not a bug but a suggestion rejected by the team (cuttent status: Won't fix, obsolete)

SweetSoftPillowon Robust Secret Storage in Networks

Sounds like Telegram's storage strategy, at least they promised it works like that.

SweetSoftPillowon Only 1 of the Top 5 AI Coding Models on WebDev Arena Isn't Chinese

Yep, I made a mistake by using the word "Models" instead of "Labs" or "Model Families", and I can't correct it now. Anyway, it doesn't change the main point. The "Models" rankings are just different Claude variants affecting the results, but the overall picture in terms of model families remains the same.

SweetSoftPillowon Only 1 of the Top 5 AI Coding Models on WebDev Arena Isn't Chinese

Thank you for pointing that out, but there is no error in the sorting. The only mistake is that the title uses the word "Models" instead of "Labs" or "Model Families". Unfortunately, I can no longer correct it, but it doesn't change the substance of the question in any way, since the top models list is made up of models from those companies. There are simply more models because they are available in different sizes (like multiple Claude variants, etc.).

SweetSoftPillowon Claude Tag

The most important difference from other products:

> @Claude is multiplayer. Within a given Slack channel, there’s one Claude that interacts with everyone. This means that anyone can see what it’s working on, and can pick up the conversation from where the last person left off. This makes tagging Claude very different from working within a single chat or for a single task—it’s much more like interacting collaboratively with a teammate.

SweetSoftPillowon Hetzner Price Adjustment

I've been using their managed PostgreSQL for years. PostgreSQL is available on all of their managed servers (mx**).

SweetSoftPillowon Curl will not accept vulnerability reports during July 2026

It would certainly be irresponsible.

The responsible thing would have been to simply wait another month, considering you've been warned about the delay.

SweetSoftPillowon Prove you're human by winning a claw machine

The most important part that most commenters did not read:

"And to be clear: it checks that someone is playing, not who they are. Keep your real checks behind it."

It's just a game, not a CAPTCHA.

SweetSoftPillowon Codex for open source

Anthropic published essentially the same offering recently. By your logic, does that mean they're behind too?

Placing full GPT 5.2 versus fast/flash models of main competitors is unfair, would love to see more balanced table.

SweetSoftPillowon Springs and bounces in native CSS

For performance reasons we always prefer HTML, then CSS, and only then JS as a last resort.

SweetSoftPillowon Springs and bounces in native CSS

I've encountered a strange bug (using Chrome for Android). When I have this CSS demo page open and scroll about halfway down, the volume of my background audio (e.g., a Twitch App stream) drops by about 50%. Closing the tab immediately restores the audio to its normal volume. I can reproduce this issue consistently. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this behavior?

Edit: it seems it's caused by autoplay of Easing Wizard's video.

SweetSoftPillowon Gemini 3.0 spotted in the wild through A/B testing

It seems you also did not compare ChatGPT to the best offers of the competitors, as you did not mention Gemini Deepthink mode which is Google's alternative to GPT's Pro mode.
