3.1 Pro has the same Jan 2025 knowledge cutoff as the other 3 series models. So if 3.1 has it in its training data, the other ones would have as well.

Don't be evil was never removed. It was just moved to the bottom.

The secret is you are probably worth MORE than $14/m in ads.

I haven't had a comment generated for 3.0 pro at all unless specified.

This is provably false. All it takes is a simple Google search and looking at the ARC AGI 2 leaderboard: https://arcprize.org/leaderboard

The 17.6% is for 5.1 Thinking High.

This is easily shown that the numbers are for GPT 5.1 thinking high.

Just go to the leaderboard website and see for yourself: https://arcprize.org/leaderboard

Sorry but the fact is a government agency (the FCC) pushed for this. This is a completely different thing than Disney deciding to do it on its own.

This is a 1st amendment issue.

1. Then it's not really required if it can be ignored.

2. This is the problem, software (and protos) can live for a long time). They might be used by other clients elsewhere that you don't control. What you thought might not required 10 years down the line is not anymore. What you "think" is not a huge deal then becomes a huge deal and can cause downtime.

3. You're mixing business logic and over the wire field requirement. If a message is required for an interface to function, you should be checking it anyway and returning the correct error. How is that change with proto supporting require?

You think you do but you really don't.

What happens if you mark a field as required and then you need to delete it in the future? You can't because if someone stored that proto somewhere and is no longer seeing the field, you just broke their code.

Yeah, oneOf fields can be repeated but you can just wrap them in a message. It's not as pretty but I've never had any issues with this.

The fact that the author is arguing for making all messages required means they don't understand the reasoning for why all fields are optional. This breaks systems (there are are postmortems outlining this) then there are proto mismatches .

Please actually understand what pharmacists actually do and _why_ AI is not a good replacement for them yet, unless you want to die of certain drugs interactions.

Are you sure you don't have a caricature of Jobs in your head?

Apple did a lot of controversial things under Jobs.

Have you thought maybe its your environment? I think the "nice suburban communities" have always been filled with antisocial people (as someone who grew it in them). People go to the suburbs for quiet and to be left alone.

I barely knew anyone in the neighborhood when I was living with my parents in the suburbs. My friends were all from school and required a car to hang out.

In contrast, now as an adult, I live in a dense major city (that's supposedly filled with crime according right wing news) and I see kids all the time walking around. I have a young kid and he interacts with his neighbors a lot more. My mailman knows of my kid and when we moved across the street.

Our closest couple's friend is a 5 minute walk away and its nice to randomly run into them on a weekend when taking a walk.

We regularly have wine and food on Fridays with one of my neighbors who have a kid close to our age and its easy and without friction.

You cannot legally certify something as Zigbee with paying a fee. This is the same for Matter.
