  • Nobody said a website didn’t work on Firefox.

    The market share is so low because of the same reason Linux’s share is low: people use what most people use. When they get a new computer, they either don’t know much and stick to Edge (which is Chromium) or install Chrome because that’s what they are familiar with, and the reason they’re familiar with it is because most people used that, so they also tried that. If they use other browsers, they just don’t care enough to switch, no matter if it’s much better or how easy switching is.

    Pre-installs are also a reason, as I’ve said before about Edge. So if a well-known computer manufacturer put Linux on most of their laptops and a new computer user would buy one of them, they would just use Firefox cuz that’s what pre-installed on most distros, and if more new users buy it who don’t know about Chrome, Firefox market share becomes even bigger.

    Most people just don’t care enough to switch if their current setup works. Let it be Linux, Mac, Firefox or any less-used product.






  • Anyone else get the feeling that GPT-3.5 is becoming dumber?

    I made an app for myself that can be used to chat with GPT and it also had some extra features that ChatGPT didn’t (but now has). I didn’t use it (only Bing AI sometimes) for some time and now I wanted to use it again. I had to fix some API stuff because the OpenAI module jumped to 1.0.0, but that didn’t affect any prompt (this is important: it’s my app, not ChatGPT, so cannot possibly be a prompt cause if I did nothing) and I didn’t edit what model it used.

    When everything was fixed, I started using it and it was obviously dumber than it was before. It made things up, misspelled the name of a place and other things.

    This can be intentional, so people buy ChatGPT Premium and use GPT-4. At least GPT-4 is cheaper from the API and it’s not a subscription.
