One of my tests to see if "we are there", it's to ask a list of mayors from my city. Sounds silly, but most models just create random mayors that never existed.

Without search, of course. In theory this should be easy, because clearly the Wikipedia data it's in the model.

And I remember Sam Altman saying 2 years ago or more, that hallucination was already "fixed" internally. Well, clearly not.

Deepseek 4 "final" version is imminent as well.

Will probably be at Opus 4.8 level, and I find it pretty big deal because of Deepseek price...

Yeah, I tried to switch ISP. Was thinking everything was fine, then tried to watch on ClaroTV+ here (similar to Youtube TV, Hulu Live, etc), and it was... awful. Then I figured out, the IPv6 route was going from Brazil > US > Argentina, or some other crazy crazy route. While IPv4 was just inside Brazil.

So I tried to complain to the ISP, and they just said they couldn't do anything, and if I wanted, they could disable IPv6 for me...

Of course, I canceled the ISP.

Sadly it's pretty common for several ISPs have smaller peerings with IPv6, so this is not uncommon.

My other other ISP worked super fine, but even then, they had two ASN. One for IPv4 and the other for IPv6, just to show how different they were...

I noticed when using some Chinese services, a lot of them have "IPv4" and "IPv6" flags when opening their apps for some reason.

Here in Brazil most ISPs provide IPv6 by now... But what happens a lot, when field technician are installing your broadband, they just... don't configure IPv6. As if IPv4 (CGNAT!) wasn't enough. With bigger ISPs this is less common.

With mobile carriers this is even worse. For some reason, some default config are IPv4 by default, while literally all of them supports IPv6.

.NET Native was experimental in WP 8.1 and W8. On 10, it becomes mandatory and you couldn't even publish a JIT .NET app to Store.

WP 8.0 didn't even had WinRT, only Silverlight apps, and all JIT. If you wanted native in 8.0, had to go with C++.

About Desktop, C++ was rarely used. Most apps were either .NET C# (JIT) or WinJS. JIT WinRT .NET was super slow, WinJS apps were even faster, which is why many apps were all WinJS, including inbox Windows apps, like the MSN apps.

Windows 8 Inbox apps a lot of them where WinJS actually. But on Windows 8 even web tech was fine (speed-wise).

And WP 8.0 < didn't offer AOT for .NET apps. AoT only came as experimental on WP 8.1 with WinRT apps if I recall right. And on W10 and W10 Mobile, it comes as default for all UWP .NET apps.

WinUI made sense when windows actually had a proper design guideline, and touch was also the focus. So using WinUI was just easier as the controls were all following the guidelines, and if you wanted to offer a native experience, that was the best choice.

But it's been long gone that time where Windows had a minimum cohesive guideline.
