Anyone who's ever looked after and cared for pigs knows that this is very-very cruel. I would do the same with those humans(?) who wants this. Greed over everything. Disgusting

I’m quite happy with the Codex app.

I am too, and haven't really given Anthropic's stuff a fair shake as a result, and am so curious if I'm missing out or if it's the same shit different pile.

I fired up Codex yesterday and asked it to do a security review on an UE5 project i'm working on with Claude. It found some things that Claude already knew about. But nothing made me feel confident it could _write_ UE5 C++ code as well as Claude. I guess it's worth a shot testing it on a minor feature, but what other people are saying here gels with my experience as well.

I would like to be wealthy enough to commission even a small piece for my home! Looks amazing. He must be using some special kind of glass

Quite informative video with great explanations of good general storytelling


Hell yeah! HM on HN! I would like to do metal projects in my nineties! After the Iron Maiden performance we need an album from Ralph Fiennes. How'z'dat?

I don't know...at one point I got off Firefox because it was slow and I was never able to get back to it ever again. Maybe I should try now?

Do it. It's the only truly independent browser left.

It's not perfect, but it works, and unlike Chrome you can have full ad blocking with uBlock Origin.


> only truly independent browser

Only truly independent browser engine left. Firefox is entirely independent on google, but unlike its competitors this dependency is through direct cash payments.


Perhaps the Europeans will end up funding Firefox to get away from American corporate tech dependency. Firefox has tried valiantly to get away from Google money but it's difficult to fund browser development from small donations or without cross-subsidies from other business, like web advertising.

With Brave you can have ad blocking built into the browser itself and not have to depend on a third party developer.

And Brave's built-in blocker uses uBO's and other lists, including allowing trusted filters (which can inject high risk scripts into your sites) automatically. So yes, you are using 3rd party scripts already, and no, they can't monitor all of the commits from all those lists.

The first party developer in case of Brave is arguably worse than most 3rd party developers elsewhere.

I would argue that third party developer is more reliable and trustworthy than both Brave and Mozilla

Why do you actually ask? Switching browsers has got to be one of the easiest software to switch, right?

Is it? I have autofill/passwords, bookmarks, etc., and you can't easily jump between two different browsers as those will get out of sync.

Both browsers offer import/export functionality for all of those things. Spend one week trying Firefox and if you don't like it, switch back. The inconvenience here is so small it might as well not exist.

After I upgraded my laptop (Ryzen 2700 => 8845HS) it has felt as though Firefox is much closer to Chrome.

While I do not think that the gap narrowed when measured in CPU-cycles, it's just not very noticable when Firefox doesn't feel slow.


I went back to it 6 months ago once Chrome got rid of ublock. It’s pretty good but then some update a week or two ago blew away all my profiles.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

Mozilla did plant the tree 20 years ago, then decided few years after to abandon it

They push millions of lines of code every year, thousands of patches and all kinds of measurable performance improvements so not sure what you're talking about.

the 2% marketshare. I'm talking about 2% marketshare that they got from being de-facto standard, to 2%

At their peak it was like 33% or thereabouts. The claim that they were "abandoned" suggests, well, that the browser was abandoned when it wasn't. It's a mischaracterization. Market share is about some combination of (1) software quality, (2) visibility and (3) distribution lock in. Chrome managed to be arguably better on (1) but it's due to (2) and (3) that it became dominant.

If (1) was all that mattered we would all be using the Preso engine version of Opera right now.


They literally abandoned the development for their toy projects until v57 (?) Quantum release. People left Firefox to chrome cos pages like google meetup and other things were not working at all. What are you saying?

Give it another go. You'll be surprised.

Not nice but the frontier labs "distilled the whole internet" using the common crawl.


Which is a more transformative and creative act than just copying their outputs.


What’s transformative about pirating books?


It being done by a big tech company. That makes it a totally different thing /s

Who cares?

In the end it's thieves who stole others work complaining about their work being stolen from them.

No one will feel sorry for them


This is a great idea! I will give it a try!


It is great! Very native feel and it's quick too. I don't have to keep a Safari window open all the time...the ram usage of this app is around 10% of a Safari window with a single tab.

A font size setting would be nice, I found the font is a bit small.


Thanks for the feedback! I will prioritize working on allowing users to adjust the font.


It’s already there! Thank you


Very underrated extension, it makes the YT experience much more enjoyable
