Reddit's ad platform is the worst imo. I pushed for trying it at my work and I ended up looking like a fool: it blew all the budget almost instantly on phantom clicks, with absolutely zero conversions. It's nowhere near as good as

Prime's app is ridiculously bad imo. I'm not sure why that is, but everything is slower and takes more clicks and digging than similar apps on the same device. There are also significantly more ads than on Disney+ or Netflix ad ti

Panos Panay must be so vindicated right now. The Surface Duo truly was ahead of its time.

I agree, Opus 5 scoring higher than Fable 5 on Artificial Analysis really makes me question the relevance of these scores.

Do you have any tips for running Codex on the Macbook Neo? Have you changed any setting? On mine, it stutters on every single chat, and I don't even have any plugins installed.

Hi! Thanks for looking into this. I have also been having this issue for the last two days. It looks like it might still be broken: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49528768

Hi! I have the same issue (Orange France mobile network). It might be IPv6-related? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49499217

I had the same problem, tried a bunch of stuff, banned millions of IPs, but nothing really worked. I ended up spending a bunch of time rewriting the website with Codex so that it is more efficient. Now I'm still getting the same junk t

Cloudflare is also great at playing both sides, and they're trying pretty hard to push for pay-to-crawl because they'll probably get a 30% cut along the way.

Interesting to see that their most important domain, noblogs dot org, seems unaffected.

Thank you! I gave up after more than 2 whole minutes of waiting on a high-end smartphone. I'm not sure this keeps bots out, but it definitely keeps users out…

Yes. I looked just two days ago to purchase a M4 Mac mini (I had no idea they would refresh it), and estimated delivery times were '5-6 weeks', with the highest RAM configs unavailable. Other retailers still have some in stock tho

Same thing for me! Got it with the education discount when it came out in 2024 and, although I've been pretty disappointed with macOS, it's crazy to see that the price increased by $300 in less than 2 years, with no sign of the pr

Sure. The Insider blog tends to be pretty up-to-date: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/ They seem to be focused on performance improvements because of the MacBook Neo pressure and RAM crisis, but right now, I&

I might be in the minority here, but some of the latest Windows updates that dropped in the Insider channel are really cool, and I'm excited to see those coming to main.

I've been noticing the same thing since 5.4- it starts with "Yes" yet I haven't asked a question. I think it might be related to the reasoning, like it's answering its own questions?

My Pixel Watch 4 lasts me two days (with AOD turned on), and I charge it while I'm in the shower, so sleep tracking is convenient that way.

It's common for manufacturers to loan devices for review, without having any input in the content of the review. It is disclosed here in the video, which seems fine imo.

Understandable, it's a great app, though a bit expensive.

It used to be 10 messages every 5 hours using GPT-5, then unlimited 4o-mini. More recently, it went down to ~5 messages per day on 5.5 Instant, then unlimited on 5.5 mini.

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.
