Rodmine··on Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent
Google definitely does not have good models and if it does, Gemini Flash series models are definitely not them. I use the Google Gemini app daily (for searches, research etc.), everyday, for some query, gemini flash 3.8 hallucinates, does not understand context etc. in quite short conversations. I switch back to 3.1 pro and it works fine.

Which brings me to why do they get good benchmark scores? Have never really understood this. They must be optimizing just for this.

Rodmine··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
3.7-flash has been useless many times, specially when context gets bigger. 3.1 is the only Google model that has seen use from me. With extended thinking, 3.7-flash is kinda usable but not without many problems. I find myself falling back to 3.1 often. I don't believe in any benchmarks because whatever they are doing to award 85% to 3.7 on anything, they should seriously reconsider that test for anything.

Stupid. Only if you are it.

If you enjoyed something as a much younger person, and enjoy it as a much older person, it is very unlikely that it is the thing itself that you are enjoying. To test it, you can try giving that thing to someone your age and see if they enjoy it (they will most likely think it's a nuisance). To experience it yourself, you can try what kids are into these days or even better try something that people used to like long before you were born, in which case you will very likely see these things as pointless quite quickly. If you observe these things, it is easy to see that nostalgia is enjoyable because it is about associating your youth and naiveté with the object of nostalgia. If you grew up, you would see that it is just some distraction that merchants brought to you to profit from your stupidity. If you realize this, you'll enjoy not having to deal with that shit a lot more.

Rodmine··on Stealing Is a Skill
OK, Benjamin.
Rodmine··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
If you gain weight during summer (so that excess vitamin D is stored in fat cells) and use body's stored fat in the winter (eat at a deficit, so that your stored fat, rich in vitamin D, is used), you need no supplementation. This is what all animals living in the region do.

Not so sure about that. At least an Anthropic whistleblower wasn't murdered in his own house.

Not for you then. You don't need to understand everything.
Rodmine··on Whatever Happened to String Theory?
Here's my theory: When some people saw that physics could be used to get great power, they decided to keep physics research a secret, in the hands of the few. So, they have been using governments and spies to keep it away from the masses (and hence adversaries). I believe string theory is a result of this.
Rodmine··on Solar energy is going to power the world much sooner than you think
Wrong! Oil-rich countries have every incentive to not let it happen, and that is exactly what they have been doing. For example, “but the Uighers” is a propaganda tactic (among others) developed by the current oil countries as an attack to the Chinese solar industry.

Most disgusting design trend. I hope the Vista look that has been re-popularized by Apple dies soon.

Simple ideas work to get simpletons onboard, and one needs their vote and support to do anything. You are criticizing the greatest political communicator that has existed in history and will be studied and tried to be replicated for a long time to come.

Incompetent people waiting for “science to happen” while the merchant class lies to the peasants about what science should be for them to make money. Explains what is going on.
Rodmine··on Europe is breaking its reliance on American science
Depends. The control is on what research is done in the first place. For example, effectiveness of ivermectin was not even studied during Covid. New treatments that can be patented however was.

No, “science” often produces results favourable to those who fund it.
