Excellent, problem solved.

Update after using the new ChatGPT.app for a bit: Lots of old ChatGPT functionality missing:

  - No voice mode
  - No Deep Research
  - No explicit Search toggle 
  - No Record mode (meeting summarizer) 
  - No Canvas (good riddance) 
  - No custom GPTs 
  - Old chat threads are hidden (have to open a new chat, then click “See all” under “Recent chats” – or use the “Search Tasks…” function)
Does the new ChatGPT app still separate ChatGPT and Codex usage quotas, or does all usage now count against the Codex limit?

> The updated ChatGPT desktop app (opens in a new window) is available globally today for Mac and Windows, with Chat, Work, and Codex available to users on every plan, including Free. > If you already use the Codex app, you can update it as usual and it will become the new ChatGPT desktop app. Developers can make Codex the default view when they open the desktop app and choose the Codex logo as the app icon. Desktop Codex projects remain accessible on the go through the ChatGPT mobile app. The existing version of the ChatGPT desktop app will be renamed ChatGPT Classic.

Edit: I just got the update – the new ChatGPT.app is 1.46 GB

Something not mentioned in the changelog that I just noticed: Kagi Assistant now offers Gemma 4 31B hosted at Cerebras. It’s insanely fast and seems to follow instructions quite well as a research assistant.

I just got it working with Pi, it works great.

I use Pi inside nono.sh sandbox, which requires setting:

export PLANNOTATOR_REMOTE=1

Then adding to the nono profile:

{ "filesystem": { "allow": [ "~/.plannotator" ], }, “network": { “open_port": [0], "listen_port": [19432] }, "open_urls": { "allow_localhost": true } }

If I want to onboard a client to Cloudflare, I have to ask them to create an account and then invite me, which is a lot of friction for non-technical people.

A “create account” button accessible to me would be so much better. Then, I create the account and invite the client to join as owner.

Gmail will block messages that fail SPF/DMARC alignment unless the forwarding mail server supports SRS.

Similarly, `Go Map!!` is an iOS app that makes editing OSM data easy.

Adding missing features is one of my favorite things to do while traveling, and feels like a way of giving back (“take only photos, leave only GIS traces”?)

> it automatically falls back to Claude Opus 4.8

I wonder how much of the time people will just get Opus 4.8 at 2× the cost.

Don’t presume this study has anything to do with programming. They measured an agent’s ability to search long conversations, not code.

> We evaluate on a 116-question representative subset of the LongMemEval benchmark (Wu et al., 2025), which tests an agent’s ability to answer questions over long conversations spanning multiple sessions.

Honestly, when I see headlines like this I just scroll down to the Kagi comment and upvote it.

I don’t use Slack either. What about solo indie founders who don’t use “team communication”?

Plaid is criticized because it’s a public-facing mechanism for third-party access into your finances, but many companies already have access without you knowing. In the US, many banks share nonpublic info such as transactions with retailers, marketers, government agencies, and others. They’re allowed to do so under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Report from the GOA:

The article doesn't really get into the details. Does it analyze the user agent and compare it to a list of known bot user agents? What about all the bots that spoof user agent values – does it do something special to detect those?

It must have been so fun to be Benjamin Franklin. He installed an electric bell in-line on his first lightning rods so that this increase in electrical potential would cause the bell to ring, signaling that the danger for lightning was increased.

You can experience this voltage potential firsthand: take a friend to a hill or somewhere where high‑voltage power lines are nearer to the ground. One person, wearing rubber-soled shoes, stands tall with an arm in the air. The other squats down with both hands on the ground. The standing person uses the non-raised hand to gently touch the sensitive skin of the other person (ear lobe, lips), and they can feel an electric arc.

Obviously I’m virtue signaling, and I hope instilling a feeling of shame in people who support businesses that contribute to climate change.

But more than that, the emissions generated by the Colossus data centers are far worse than typical combined-cycle gas plants or data centers that buy renewable: these turbines emit NOx, fine particulates, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde into a population-dense area.

I thought people knew about this already. Post from last year: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/12/xai-data-center/

One of the reasons I refuse to use xAI’s models is because of the outsized negative environmental impacts of the methane gas turbines.

Now I have to avoid Claude too.
