I'm not making a strawman, there were specific post IDs cited by the Twitter Files as being illegitimate suppression, you could stick them into the Wayback Machine and see that they were literally just photos of Hunter Biden's dick.

Yeah, I remember when the "Twitter Files" were being released and it turned out that Twitter was illegitimately censoring leaked nudes of Hunter Biden. Whyever would non-consensually posted nudes be taken down other than the suppression of conservatism?

No discussion on problem difficulty, or on result quality besides "the Edgee run generated slightly more output tokens than the baseline".

Don't use the Arduino framework, use ESP-IDF or Rust.

I assume their chips don't really exist until they're actually supported by ESP-IDF. The ESP32-C5 was announced in June 2022, received initial support in -IDF in August 2025, and more complete support in December. It seems to have only recently started getting third party dev boards.

I started clicking a 'next page' link before I'd actually finished reading something (so I kept holding the mouse buttown down), and a couple of seconds later Firefox popped up a 'link preview' box informing me that I was clicking on a link to a web forum. Wow, thanks, couldn't have figured that out myself. (It did not actually summarize the next page in any way.)

> Even when the model is explicitly instructed to pause due to insufficient tokens rather than generating an incomplete response

AI models can't do this. At least not with just an instruction, maybe if you're writing some kind of custom 'agentic' setup.

Devtools is seemingly partially broken in this version, if I have devtools open on a reasonably dynamic web app Chrome will crash within a minute or two

Why bother supporting Safari when they aren't interested in supporting the modern web? They're five years behind.

Archive.today don't use Cloudflare, the admin mimics their captcha page because he hates them. He also used to captcha-loop anyone using Cloudflare's DNS resolver because they don't send the IP subnet of clients to upstreams.

I don't think it's a honeypot, though, it's not like he's learning much about me other than I like not paying for news sites.

The -codex models are only for 'agentic coding', nothing else.

They could simply say that, then, instead of saying you might be able to use it under the AGPL.

Yes, many. As a random example, see: https://www.servethehome.com/ubiquiti-flex-mini-2-5g-review-...

The last image on the page shows various chips in the switch, the top left is an ESP32.

As a result of this the official install is now installing a squatted package they don't control: https://github.com/moltbot/moltbot/issues/2760 https://github.com/moltbot/moltbot/issues/2775

But this is basically in line with average LLM agent safety.
