The Tor Browser still being based on Firefox makes me feel a lot better about it.

There is a setting for Google Safe Browsing, but you can't turn it off. Tapping the toggle does nothing.
Some settings are not self-explaining, for example "improve built-in query stripping".
I suppose that's to be expected for an alpha.
Not being able to add a custom search engine URL (at least as far as I can tell) is unfortunately what will make me not use this browser.
Slower than VS Code?? I guess it's just poorly optimized for Linux. On MacOS, I find it to be significantly faster than VS Code, and the only alternative I've found that's in the ballpark of Sublime (from the performance aspect).
I'm on Linux and performance is the reason I switched from VSCode to Zed. It works great for me.
Perhaps the same issue that had Zed fail to recognize their GPU also tanked their performance.

Also, they provide a torrents list that anyone can seed and be part of the long-term preservation.
I'm surprised i2p torrents are still not popular enough to be offered as an option by sites like this.
I'd assume there are many people who don't help out purely because of legal fears, something i2p could help with.
Geez! When it comes to answering questions, GPT-5 almost always starts with glazing about what a great question it is, where as GPT-4 directly addresses the answer without the fluff. In a blind test, I would probably pick GPT-4 as a superior model, so I am not surprised why people feel so let down with GPT-5.
GPT5 only commended the prompt on questions 7, 12, and 14. 3/14 is not so bad in my opinion.
(And of course, if you dislike glazing you can just switch to Robot personality.)

Like a youtube video where he narrates his whole idea with different cuts of his ideas in action.
Videos that contrast as he narrating the beauty of text based pages with examples of the contrary and a panning camera.
For this:
>You can paste the whole thing into an email to a friend. You can put it in ChatGPT to ask questions.
>Hell—you can post the whole thing on X and pretend you wrote it!
I'd like to see flashcuts of a person in front of the computer actually doing it while he narrates it. With cool music.
That style. Because this is what my brain is producing in my head if he doesn't.
A significant issue with videos is that it's harder/impossible to skim them. Also, they don't allow for (accurate) quick search.
I'm optimistic we'll soon see some AI startup provide proper solutions to these issues. But until then I prefer text.

It means something is not understood. Could be the product, the code in question, or computers in general. 90% of coders seem to be lacking foundational knowledge imho. Not trying to hate on anyone, but when you have the basics down, you can usually see quickly where the problem is, or at least must be.
Unfortunately, "usually" is a key word here.

> And even more curious
It's easy to find out the reason for this. And the article's benchmarks confirm the validity of this reason. Why comment from a place of ignorance, unless you're asking a question?
Your comment is unnecessarily hostile.
There are plenty of components to choose from which do not need soldered-on RAM. Giving up modularity to gain access to higher memory bandwidth is certainly a trafeoff many are willing to make, but to take that tradeoff as a company known for modularity is, as the parent comment put it, curious.
aniviacat commented on Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally? · Posted by u/superasn
Is this a common experience for others? In several years of reasonable ChatGPT use I have only experienced that kind of failure a couple of times.
I don't usually see responses fail. But what I did see shortly after the GPT-5 release (when servers were likely overloaded) was the model "thinking" for over 8 minutes. It seems like (if you manually select the model) you're simply getting throttled (or put in a queue).
