It’s so to-the-point. No hype. No overstepping. Sure, it lacks many details that later models add. But those added details are only sometimes helpful. Most of the time, they detract.

Makes me wonder what folks would say if you re-released TEXT-DAVINCI-001 as “GPT5-BREVITY”

I bet you’d get split opinions on these types of not so hard / creative prompts.

This got me curious. Tried on Gemini 2.5 Pro out of curiosity. It gets it right, but it did think about it, and then even explain itself a lot in its official text response.

Thinking:

Here's my thought process for solving this classic riddle: Identify the key players: The problem mentions Alice, her brothers, and her sisters. Establish Alice's family structure: Alice is a girl. She has 3 brothers. She has 6 sisters. Determine the total number of children in the family: Girls: Alice (1) + her sisters (6) = 7 girls Boys: Alice's brothers (3) = 3 boys Total children: 7 girls + 3 boys = 10 children Focus on the question: "How many sisters does her brother have?" Shift perspective: Now, consider one of Alice's brothers (let's call him Bob, although his name doesn't matter). Analyze Bob's siblings: Bob is one of the children in the family. The family consists of 7 girls and 3 boys. Count Bob's sisters: From Bob's perspective, all the girls in the family are his sisters. How many girls are in the family? We already determined there are 7 girls (Alice + her 6 sisters). Count Bob's brothers: From Bob's perspective, the other boys in the family are his brothers. How many boys are in the family? 3. How many other boys are there besides Bob? 3 total boys - 1 (Bob himself) = 2 brothers. (This isn't asked, but it helps confirm the perspective shift). Answer the specific question: The question asks how many sisters Bob (Alice's brother) has. We found there are 7 girls in the family. All 7 girls are his sisters. Final Check: Does the answer make sense? Yes. All the children in a family share the same set of siblings, just categorized differently based on their own gender. All the boys have the same number of sisters, and all the girls have the same number of sisters. Alice has 6 sisters (the other 6 girls). Any brother has 7 sisters (Alice + the other 6 girls).

Final message: Here's how to break down the problem: 1. Identify the total number of girls in the family: Alice (1) + her sisters (6) = 7 girls. 2. Identify the total number of boys in the family: Alice has 3 brothers. 3. Consider one of Alice's brothers: Any one of her brothers is part of the same family. 4. Count his sisters: From the brother's perspective, all the girls in the family are his sisters. So, her brother has 7 sisters.

You're making a great point, and one I think most people agree with, but I'm not sure it's relevant. At least, based on what I see of the website in its "offline" status.

And their 2.0 Thinking model is great for other things. When my task matters, I default to Gemini.

I'm joking, this is really funny, and many of your links are very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing.

Kagi’s argument is simple: Google should give public access to their Search Index so that any company can take advantage of the core machine directly, under some terms of agreement. Like an API.

For a second I forgot where I was, and thought she'd be found out, then remembered it's an ad, and everyone is impressed.

Maybe the image is actually related to the woodworking? But I couldn't help but think, "that's about right - a random, ill-fitting photo"

That said, I don't think the author's experience with Wordpress has poor transportability into other niches anyway.

I'm exhausted already.

I can't think of a less efficient way to go about this.

“But when I go to Wordpress.com…”

SORRY, forget everything you saw there, that’s not Wordpress. Same logo? Yes. Branding? Yes. Company? Yes. But it’s not Wordpress.

This one setting that WP Engine disables is a shame, but it’s nothing compared to the confusion that Automattic has brought upon themselves

Security rules are meant to be taken seriously, and it's your only line of defense.

It gets increasingly more expensive to support older and older iOS versions. These “new features” you’re talking about wrapping in if statements aren’t here and there. Many upgrades are pervasive, and would eventually make every file a branching mess.

Now, you could argue that that should still be the chosen route. I can empathize with that. I like software that just keeps working forever.
