Not just for coding. I've been working on design docs, and find ChatGPT 5.2 finds more edge cases and suggests better ideas than Gemini 3. I sometimes feed the output of one into the other and go "ok, another AI says this, what do you think?" which gives interesting results.

Gemini often just throws in the towel and goes "yeah, the other one is right", whereas 5.2 will often go "I agree with about 80% of that, but the other 20% I don't, and here's why ..."

And I'm always impressed with the explanation for "here's why" as it picks apart flat out bad output from Gemini.

But, as with everything, this will very much be use-case dependent.


I've done the same, with both design/planning docs as well as code changes, and have the same experience as you. It's better than Opus 4.5 as well. GPT 5.2 is on another level for my use cases (primarily Python / Django).

"Mean tweets" and incitement to commit violence are mutually exclusive.


No they're not, and also, it's irrelevant to my point because I'm not talking about incitement to commit violence.


So you're saying a tweet inciting violence isn't mean.


He doesn't know what "mutually exclusive" means, he just heard someone say it.

Imagine deciding to pull out of a country because you refuse to comply with protecting the personal data of actual children.


> Imagine deciding to pull out of a country because you refuse to comply with protecting the personal data of actual children.

Haha. You mean like Meta, Google, Apple and Microsoft ? If EU really cared about children, those companies would not be doing business in the EU.


The UK ICO has nothing to do with the EU.


Seeing as the investigation was by the ICO instead of OFCOM, yes, very much so. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?


That makes no difference. "Data protection" or not, it was pressure for age verification.


Can you please provide a source for your claim?


No, it doesn't need a source. It's not mysterious. To meet the demand, age verification would be necessary. What's your claim?

I guess you could be saying that the regulators were carrying out legal duties like blind automatons, without giving a thought to the way their requirements would have to be met.


My claim is the documentation about the ICO investigation and the resulting fine.

It's an entirely different piece of regulation to the "horror" of the OSA.

It's not hard - you're not allowed to target adverts for children - if Imgur aren't able to agree to that, they are within their rights to decide they don't want to properly safeguard the private information of children and withdraw from the market. That many other providers haven't thrown their toys out of the pram and complied with the law would show they decided if they can't tailor ads to children they wouldn't be able to turn a profit in the UK.


You can turn it on and off with long presses on the airpod stalk itself.



China doesn't have one side of the political spectrum trying to shutter any talk of renewables, they're just installing them at breakneck speed.


We just need to execute the side of the political spectrum that we don't like. That way society will really get ahead.


Yes - that's for Sky Sports.

You can often get a deal if you threaten to cancel, go through with it, and then wait for a retentions offer, but since Sky was acquired by Comcast that's happening less and less, especially for the superior Sky Q satellite service - you can get great deals on their Sky Stream service, but it's plagued with issues, and you no longer have the ability to time shift by having the main box record directly off the satellite feed.

You also can't skip ads unless you pay them, versus the ability to pause, fast forward etc. on the Satellite service.
