It would be great if they restored the `Smart Bookmarks` feature they removed a number of years ago. Smart Bookmarks were fantastic. Add your favorite sites' RSS feeds to your bookmark toolbar and you'd have all the recent headlines from all your favorite sites at one click. Fortunately I wasn't the only one that appreciated this long neglected feature so someone created Livemarks (https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/) that mostly replicated its functionality, but it's not quite the same as having native support for them.

It wasn't not a result of system prompt. When you fine tune a model on a large corpus of right-leaning text don't be surprised when neo-nazi tendencies inevitably emerge.
It was though. Xai publishes their system prompts, and here's the commit that fixed it (a one line removal): https://github.com/xai-org/grok-prompts/commit/c5de4a14feb50...

Deepseek-R1 is at the level of GPT 4.1 already, it's open-weight, open-source and they even open-sourced their inference code.
I don't know why everyone keeps echoing this, my experience with Deepseek-R1, from a coding perspective at least, has been underwhelming at best. Much better experience with GPT 4.1 (and even better with Claude, but that's a different price category).
This was the name of a sadly gone Firefox extension that saved all your form field values automatically
Wow you just triggered a memory. I absolutely remember that plugin and it saving me a few times.

Such weird Apps. Typical Meta.
The iOS app screenshots are all about Wayfarer AR glasses. Nothing about Meta.AI.
The app id (com.facebook.stella) was for an app called Meta View. It looks like they just rebranded an app that was previously used for Smart glasses and is now using it as their official AI app.
Why rebrand rather than create a new app? Who knows. Maybe to demonstrate a high(ish) download count at launch, maybe for app/play store credibility.

Nvidia is massively overvalued right now. AI has rocketed them into absolute absurdity, and it's not sustainable. Put aside the actual technology for a second and realize that public image of AI is at rock bottom. Every single time a company puts out AI-generated materials, they receive immense public backlash. That's not going away any time soon and it's only likely to get worse.
Speaking as someone that's not even remotely anti-AI, I wouldn't touch the shit with a 10 foot pole because of how bad the public image is. The moment that capital realizes this, that bubble is going to pop and it's going to pop hard.
Interesting perspective, I haven't noticed much if any public backlash against AI generation. What are some examples?

We left when their pricing shot up to $500/mo for what we thought were some basic features. That and they fought us tooth and nail to be able to make local backups of OUR data, I say good riddance.
on next.js first page loads are almost instant for very complex sites with very little work on the optimization side.
it's an incredibly polished server and it does a lot of complex stuff to be so fast, but it's also well documented.
It's far too much magic for my taste. I'm really looking forward to the first non-beta release of Tanstack Start. It offers many of the same advantages without the overkill.
Both https://typesense.org/ and https://duckdb.org/ (with their spatial plugin) are excellent geo performance wise, the latter now seems really production ready, especially when the data doesn’t change that often. Both fully open source including clustered/sharded setups.
No affiliation at all, just really happy camper.
