Thanks, but that is a bit underwhelming, isn't it? I was hoping to at least see an SVG of something like the owl on the main page.

Do they have an example of an SVG image created by the new model somewhere?

I do not have an example for this, but the most ridiculous argument for open source software (at lease for most people) has always been that if the software has a bug you could simply fix it yourself. Funny enough this has actually become kind of true with new LLMs.

I love that Bladerunner scene and often show it to people when explaining how I work with AI.

At the same time I mention that the "I am not a Robot" widget on some websites is the same as a Voight-Kampff-test.

Btw, the scene has an absolutely cringeworthy German translation where Deckard says at the end "Gib mir davon eine feste Kopie" with a literal translation of "hard copy" that nobody would ever use.

You can set the appearance mode (light, dark, device) under chrome://settings/appearance . If you change the mode, the settings page (which is a website) adopts that mode, so a user would naturally assume this is also the mode for displaying web content.

It is not true that prefers-color-scheme should always follow the OS-level setting. The doc says "The method by which the user expresses their preference can vary. It might be a system-wide setting exposed by the Operating System, or a setting controlled by the user agent."[1]

So if the user sets dark mode in the browser, do they not explicitly express their preference for websites? How could they be more explicit about the setting?

And broken in Chrome since the beginning:

Looks like written by an LLM, but it gives a realistic picture. The investors breathing down your neck is something that you don't want in this age, though.

It was cheaper to get a pizza delivered before these delivery companies popped up.

I don't know, I cannot look into their head. Why don't you just write that you don't want people to comment that way, that would be more honest.

They probably comment things like "I don't get why people use these services", because they don't get why people use these services. I honestly do not understand the point of your comment.

Who cares? On 26 March 2019 the European Parliament voted 410 to 192 in favor of dropping the DST requirement in the EU by 2021.

Nothing happend. All talk, no action, as I wrote above.

The EU again is all talk and no action on this topic. 84% said in a poll to get rid of it back in 2018, parliament voted to end it by 2021. But here we are at the end of 2026 turning the clocks back again. Next march same thing. Honestly at this point I don't think it will ever happen, they will still be "discussing"it in 2040.

Why does Opus 5.5 immediately block when I enter this, even when explicitly say it is a quote that was written on Hackernews? What makes it allergic to that sentence?

I had to look it up and maybe it helps others understand: Shaquille O'Neal was bad at shooting threes and only made one three-pointer in his entire professional career (he attempted 22).

You probably cannot imagine how bad some people are at singing. I have people near me who sing completely out of tune, so much that it hurts. I am not an Apple guy, so I cannot test the app myself, but I will definitely send the link at least to those who know themselves that they are terrible at singing, hoping that Christmas will be less painful for my ears this year.

> Because Germany has laws specifically to ban parties that are shown not to be working in the best interest of the people

The laws don't work like that, otherwise we arguably would not have any parties left.

It is not a roadster. A roadster is defined as an open-air, two-seat convertible.

This one is a hard-top super-coupe and I recommend calling it the "Cyberwedge"

He is a technical manager at Anthropic, so what do you expect?

The view from his window is from Warschauer Brücke in Berlin Friedrichshain or nearby. I have fond memories living in that area and working on my software day and night.

I love the website, but one thing scares me in his list of projects:

    08 Clippy   2025-now

It depends. How long is your yacht?

I have a very strong opinion about everything not having the 2.5D viewing mode as TA cannot be a worthy successor for TA. The 2.5D mode was part of the fun.

Don't ask and dance as long as the music keeps playing.

They are really good at generating artifacts, which are windows within the replies containing all kind of visualization, often interactive.

They are still not great at SVG. I just asked Opus and Fable to add a background to an SVG and the results were, well, not great.

> Do you know how bad things have to be, for a mammal to voluntarily decide not to reproduce?

Actually, the famous 'Mouse Utopia' experiment (Universe 25) arguably showed the exact opposite. The population collapsed despite abundance of food and water without any economic hardship.

You can try to replace women with bots, as those Chinese dating apps showed a few years ago:

> They rarely fail and do their job even in damp environments. I take care of my better half's hotel with approx 100 of these installed and we replace one of these once every couple of years.

I had to replace about half of them within the first ten years of usage in our floor heating. It may have been a bad batch, but I would definitely not claim that the rarely fail. My car did not fail once during that time.

Despite not being in the EU, Norway is European without the slightest doubt.

There is No Such Thing
