SweetSoftPillow··on Springs and bounces in native CSS

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

SweetSoftPillow··on 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.

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.

Yes, it's Gemini Flash model, meaning it's fast and relatively small and cheap, optimized for performance rather than quality. I would not expect mind-blowing capabilities in fine details from this class of models, but still, even in this regard this model sometimes just surprisingly good.

Google also open sources Gemma LLMs and embedding models, which are quite good at the time of release (SOTA or near-SOTA in the open source field).

This is a Google's Gemini flash 2.5 model with native image output capability. It's fast, relatively cheap and SOTA-quality, and available via API. I think getting this kind of quality in open source models will need some time, probably first from Chinese models and then from BlackForestLabs or Google's open source (Gemma) team.

SweetSoftPillow··on Claude’s memory architecture is the opposite of ChatGPT’s

Please check an example #2 here: https://github.com/PicoTrex/Awesome-Nano-Banana-images/blob/...

It is not "language alone" anymore. LLMs are multimodal nowadays, and it's still just the beginning.

And keep in mind that these results are produced by a cheap, small and fast model.

It seems like more and more ISPs are doing that: https://koreanrandom.com/forum/topic/85072-modxvm-problem-in...

They also mention Movistar, O2, and Vodafone. A systematic violation of the internet's integrity, carried out on the scale of an entire so-called "free" EU(!) country. It's a disaster.

SweetSoftPillow··on Writing with LLM is not a shame

I've been using em dashes since long before LLMs existed, and I won't stop. Some people might think it's a sign of an LLM, but I know it's just a sign of their own short-sightedness.
