How would the NYT Cooking website even look like if it was entirely modularized into pieces that could be turned on and off to customize it to perfection for every taste?

This AI thing is not even active nor activated unless you use it. The complaints here sound more reactive to the word AI than anything else to me.

Above all, I think I like human docs because then I not only know someone has a deep understanding of it, but also that someone can actually be queried about it. With Claude, there is always the accountability problem. If something seems off, do I even have someone other than Claude that understand it all and who is accountable ?

Understandable choice. Let French users work around these controls in other ways rather than have authorities force you to abandon who you are and what you believe in.

I share the opinion that DNS is a purely technical system part of running the Internet. That DNS is attacked is only out of convenience rather than solving whatever actual problems the actors in question are facing.

In case of copyright infringement claims as in this article, the way to solve this is to deal with the criminals, not terrorize the road network that gets you to them or burn phone books just because it's "easiest".

Why is it that this so often is excused on the Internet? My theory is that it's because the inner workings of Internet is opaque to the common user; a takedown notice via a DNS redirect will look to an end user as if law enforcement got to the criminals themselves, so they get away with it. Even if they didn't because they did a too poor work, were too lazy or didn't want to spend the resources. But these factors shouldn't result in attacking others' valid business models for it and instead result in either accepting your situation or changing your situation.

Surely only in the specific meaning of "scientific theory"? E.g theory of gravity.

So 2/3 from those that are? It just means that those that are need to do more heavy lifting because there is at least a choice. Fair? No, but Earth doesn't care about what is fair and who does the most. It only cares about total output and so will the environment you live in.

From what I saw Flux 2 Klein or Qwen Image 2.1 might give you a less frustrating experience at comparable or better performance. We shouldn't be dealing with body horrors in 2026. Feels like a major regression.

Yeah rumor ahead of release was also that some Googlers were anxious about the known subpar coding given modern trends.

They're seriously using AI as a judge for what to file?

And soon Firefox will include it in Stable. During October it will go from Safari only to majority coverage. Eventful month!

While AVIF may have a slight edge in some cases like in fairly lossy compression, you won't really go _wrong_ with JPEG XL (unless strongly CPU constrained) and I think the strength of the format is its extreme versatility as a "be all end all image format" for some time where comparative performance depending on functionality ranges from respectable to excellent. It can work as a replacement for AVIF, PNG, JPEG, WebP, even certain TIFF required scenarios (high bit depth, multichannel, layers) depending on use cases.

I checked price per AA task and yeah Argon vs Opus 5.5 High are practically neck and neck both on "intelligence" and cost per task. So if you aren't pushing higher on Opus (which I think can quickly become very expensive and I always treat Max and those like "benchmark settings"), I think this becomes more of a matter of which platform you like more or prefer for various reasons.

Honestly, I think this will be a trend in 2027 when all those models become "good enough" for elite coding and whatever. I predict they'll have to branch out more and build their platform to differentiate themselves from each other, maybe even in terms of branding and trust, marketing towards various demographies, youth vs elderly, students vs employees, etc.

It's apparently great at Max but extremely costly. Looks best to me at Medium and High. Over that and I'd go Opus. I consider Fable largely obsolete.

My favorite is "Defender scanned your computer 8 times. Nothing was found."

There are a few bad puzzles (especially one regarding infernal critters) that one can use a guide for, but mostly it was a blast to finish it back in the day. Such a unique story by itself and then in a rare comedy / noir style on top! It's kind of crazy how they even came up with it.

I still remember the feeling of the ending, and the end credits music when the violin kicked in as it played the Manny & Meche theme! The music is at least as good as this game.
