Not if ie6 is your only option

Agree that it should be easier to test on safari from other platforms.

But no way is it a good idea to let other browser engines onto the OS.

I can’t make it website owners problem that their site doesn’t work on non-Google browser. Apple can.

Safari sucks but it’s the only thing stopping Chrome from taking over everything.

Im happy if Google never has that amount of control. We don’t know how bad it could have been, we have enough privacy issues already.

They might be used to Postgres, which doesn't have primary index.

Cool! Also .aa and .zz based on the table from your Wikipedia link.

It’s not so hard to get root shell on some routers via the admin panel, which usually has the same password as the wifi network or a default password. From there the device can capture dns logs.

This is incredible, thanks a lot for making it available for us.

The "new data" is: person A prompts an LLM to create or modify a tool, person A distributes code person B, person B's LLM uses the tool via docs/help/error. That is a direct path for an LLM to "know more" from a human than what's in its training data.

If we get a new programming language not in the training dataset, we could give an LLM a decent compiler with compile errors, and some sample code and it would be able to write code in the new language without training.

LLMs receive new data via input context, not just training data.

Thought experiment: How effective will 2026 LLMs be for humans in 2526?

It's not game over just because 500 years are missing from the training data. The important question is how well can 2526 humans make culture and knowledge navigable to LLMs via tool calls.

Today's LLMs might need for example sub agents to translate to 2526 English, sub agents to read 2526 docs.

It's _really not clear_ whether 2026 LLMs will be useless. To believe that reflects an enormous misunderstanding.

I agree. I believe it could be the best piece about AI ever written. The themes of lost dreams reawakened, sobering up of egos, sci fi technological development, the role of humanity. It’s a weird feeling to see that it’s actually really happening.
