Wild benchmark. Opus 4.6 is ranked #29, Gemini 3 Flash is #1, front of Pro.

I'm not saying it's bad, but it's definitely different than the others.

Just push to that instance, or, as Linus intended, send patches via e-mail.

Oh, you're right. I don't know why I've always misread "current session" as daily.

Thanks for clearing that up. It'll help me schedule stuff in the future.

My usage only shows daily and weekly, though. I never got that.

Thanks! I really like your benchmark.

Why is GLM-5 x's, though?

The link leads to some kind of sound game for me?

I've always wondered if this (kinda widespread?) theory stems from most people thinking that "infitnity" includes every possible option, which is not true.

(I'm a layman, too)

While Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 completely, Apple is just stopping feature upgrades. Apple usually supports old OS versions for years to come, especially when it's the only supported version for a lot of devices. So no, Intel Macs don't need to be retired.

> So unless that key is leaked

But, just for replayability, we could "patch" the exploit with a known key and see what it does, don't we?

Tell me what they mean by "safety controls" first. It's very vaguely worded.

DALL-E, for example, wrongly denied serveral request of mine.

Sorry, I don't use Linux much, so I don't have a recommendation. But one of the key advantages of a Keepass-Database is that theres loads of clients, so maybe try another.

I don't know about importing from Bitwarden, but a normal Keepass-database will work for you. All you need is a way to sync a file between all your devices. KeePassium on iOS is Open Soruce and integrates very well.

I'd be very surprised if Intel doesn't have running Ryzen silicon in their Labs right now.

I am really interested in the technical details. I think we have yet to see a working (and practical) approach to this.

There are lists available that block the same things as Ghostery. So yes, it does replace that.

Not NoScript, though.
