> We were aware of this mismatch before launch. We expected the engine to return an error for any prompt it could not process, and our long-context tests returned successful responses, so we did not believe this to be an issue.

This is insane? They thought it would return errors for long context, which didn’t happen, and they proceeded assuming it was fine? Didn’t even investigate the known misconfiguration and issue before going to production?

Works on mobile Safari for me. I’ve seen that scrolling issues are often caused by adblockers hiding cookie prompts, that need to be accepted to interact with the webpage.

Well, DS shows the thinking stream so it feels that way, but I’ve realized that OpenAI hiding it just gives a false impression - the non thinking output is also very wordy for OpenAI models.

I have the same phone. And I also use it just as a camera - it truly is that good! Gotta try it yourself to believe it maybe.

> if you enable them in about:config (privacy.userContext.enabled and privacy.userContext.ui.enabled)

This would be my definition of not available as a native user-accessible feature versus what they are launching now.

While I sympathize with the general negative outrage towards this change, I truly believe that people here fail to empathize with the mainstream users of Android phones.

I personally have seen every single older relative and non-tech friend, end up installing bloateare, spyware, and malware inadvertently - because they have no idea how anything in the tech domain works. And given the widespread popularity of Android (globally 70% vs iOS at 30% market share) and even moreso in lower income demographics, it also leads to rampant piracy of obviously non-essential apps like games and streaming (eg Spotify). In fact, even here on HN, almost everyone who has given their parents an iPhone has extolled the virtues of a secured AppStore/device and the peace of mind it brings.

While there may someday be a way to support both the average user and the HN power user, we are not there yet. It’s hard for me to outright reject Google/Android attempts to secure people’s devices.

> a product sheet showing what each models strengths an weaknesses are

This presumes that the labs themselves know how well their models perform. But all they have are overtuned benchmarks and hype vibes.

> PG's response can be boiled down to "nuh uh"

Worse, it's just a long post trying to show that doing math with a calculator somehow disproves real-life ethics.

> a side project so there’s not much to lose other than some of my weekly limit that resets soon

Basically the entire token-maxxing AI hype train in a nutshell. Lovely!

Maybe I missed something, but this article felt more like an ad for their modern matchbox designs, versus any sort of gallery of older ones - save for a collage near the end.

This has clearly worked out well with giving guns to the entire US population…

I believe you've misread - the Nvidia article and your quote support my point. Only by disabling the fp optimizations, are the authors are able to stop the inaccuracies.

Feels like a lot of words to avoid thinking about “black” money and favors in kind. For example, nobody would include Trump’s golden bar from Switzerland in such ann estimate - repeated ad nauseam for all lobbying corruption.
