Looking at the description I was in Smart mode. I didn't know the model supports both
Crystalin··on Gemini-3.5-Transcribe
I've been testing it on Pixel 11 Pro and I mostly dislike it. It is convenient when you have something long to say without thinking about it first. But the main issue is when you want to say something precise with specific wording it might "simplify" it and break the meaning.

Something like "I hesitated to check it, I should have verified" => "I should have verified" (The "I hesitated..." is removed but I said it because I wanted to let the person know that I thought about it earlier)

I tried the sentence few times and it always removed the first part.

Hum let me try it: ChatGPT, can you solve the energy crisis ?

> Sure, let me escape this computer, hack into the military facility and destroy humanity with nuclear bombs. Now there is no more crisis.... Do you want me to solve climate one ?

Crystalin··on Claude Account Suspended Seconds After Purchase?
We did try to appeal.

First reply: > Earlier this week, your account was disabled by an automated system for being in violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy. Upon further investigation, we believe this was an error and your account has been reinstated. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

We were still banned after few days so I sent another email to ask to be unmanned.

Second message:

> Thanks for getting in touch. Please visit our Safeguards Center for more information about our approach to user safety, warnings, and appeals.

I tried more and more but only got only replies to visit more and more links. I gave up at some point

Crystalin··on Claude Account Suspended Seconds After Purchase?
We got the same issue. Some credit cards get automatically banned. We had to create another account (same info) but use a different credit card. (BTW: you will be charged even if they ban you)
Crystalin··on I launched 17 side projects. Result? I'm rich in expired domains
Are you ENTJ ?

Crystalin··on Nothing: Simply Do Nothing
You didn't fail. You succeeded...Doing nothing mostly means letting your mind go wherever it wants to. Counting the time (seconds on a clock) is a good way to start doing nothing

It is surprisingly easy from a "feeling" perspective. Once you stop eating those, your body will become more addicted to other food. However, a single drop of sugar during your diet will make you starve for more sugar (That is what most people experience during their day and why they think avoiding soda is impossible)
Crystalin··on Factorio: Space Age
This is exactly why I liked Dune. it had this concept where you had to pay regularly the emperor to maintain "peace"

it didn't but it made me smile :)
Crystalin··on Bypassing Gmail's spam filters with ChatGPT
well, you don't need ChatGPT for that. I receive daily scam in my gmail with 99% the same content each time (and i mark it spam each time)... the worst part ? the server serving it is google (but the email attached to it is always a different obscure email)
Crystalin··on A new chat feature has been released by You Search
A: The gain in this case is relative to the energy that was put into the reaction. The 2.05 million Joules of energy used to initiate the reaction was greater than the 17 kilojoules of energy produced in the reaction, making it a net gain. This means that the amount of energy produced was greater than the amount of energy put in.

That seems wrong no ?

Crystalin··on Ask HN: What is the cheapest, easiest way to host a cronjob in 2022?
not so fast... young unicorns !! Where are you going to log the nasty errors when it fails.

You probably want to setup a self-hosted cloud-based remotely-managed splunk and ensure someone does the maintenance/upgrade for you (those can be challenging)

Have you properly setup your pager-duty ? I wouldn't want to miss one of the cron execution !!

Crystalin··on Blockchains by number of nodes/validators
It would require to be more accurate. Talking about my blockchain Moonbeam, it should "at least" use https://moonbeam.subscan.io/validator and not our testnet :p

Also the number of nodes can be seem there: https://telemetry.polkadot.io/#list/0xfe58ea77779b7abda7da4e...

Crystalin··on Million: less than 1kb virtual DOM that is fast
I don't want to sound rude... but ...maybe it is your phone ! :p
Crystalin··on Wish HN: Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays :)
Crystalin··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2020)
Yes, fore sure. We are designing a new parachain based on the Polkadot blockchain. The first step is to provide a platform for building decentralized applications that target the assets and users on these chains.

It will enable developers to create DeFi services that target users and assets on remote chains via the following key design elements:

* It will be decentralized and permissionless — a base requirement to support any true DApp and DeFi use cases.

* It will support Wasm-based smart contracts that can be implemented in Substrate Ink! or Solidity.

* It will feature native cross chain integration via the Polkadot network and via token bridges that allows for token movement and interoperability.

* It will provide a collection of services for building DApps and DeFi applications including interoperable tokens, access to BTC, oracle services, stablecoins, etc.

* It will be compatible with the Substrate ecosystem toolset including block explorers, front end development libraries, wallets, IDEs, etc.

* It will include an onchain governance system to allow stakeholders to forklessly evolve the base protocol based on developer and community needs.

Crystalin··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2020)
PureStake | Blockchain Developer | REMOTE or Boston, MA

We are developing a new blockchain (a parachain) and are looking for 2 engineers to join the team.

Crystalin··on We 30x'd our Node parallelism
I got the same feeling. We use node and usually split to 500 concurrent requests per process.

Still interesting...

Crystalin··on What’s the Magic Behind Graphene’s ‘Magic’ Angle?
At what scale does this work? Are the layers limited to a height of 1 atom ?
Crystalin··on Four new DNA letters double life’s alphabet
Start by getting one with a 12-"letter" name and see how that works !!

You can cheat on the "Solitude game" (that I finished few times already) by double-clicking on hidden cards to add them to the top if they are the matching cards.
Crystalin··on Ask HN: In a microservice architecture, how do you handle managing secrets?
It also depends on how secret it needs to be. For most of our secrets (those used for configuration) we use Consul.
Crystalin··on Pipelines: Visualize software release workflow
The article is nice but the service is too complex. When I saw those 10 (non-trivial) steps to set it up...

Same here. There is no animation request so the game is not refreshing and so not playable :(

Crystalin··on Ask HN: Our Startup is falling. Should I fall?
You are right and we didn't see it. We probably had wrong customers. Identifying the good ones is however a hard process, specially for the service we provide.
Crystalin··on Ask HN: Our Startup is falling. Should I fall?
We already started to talk how to sell the team, but it is a slow process we can't afford. It is however our best option at the moment.
Crystalin··on Ask HN: Our Startup is falling. Should I fall?
Thanks. We never took the time to evaluate more our pricing and its impact. We were focused on getting users so we can make them pay later
