So, like most extremely loud online groups then?

Gemini has a great model, but it's a bad product. I feel much happier using ChatGPT because Gemini just seems so barebones and unpolished. It has this feeling of a tech demo.

After they pushed the limits on the Thinking models to 3000 per week, I haven't touched anything else. I am really satisfied with their performance and the 200k context windows is quite nice.

I've been using Gemini exclusively for the 1 million token context window, but went back to ChatGPT after the raise of the limits and created a Project system for myself which allows me to have much better organization with Projects + only Thinking chats (big context) + project-only memory.

Also, it seems like Gemini is really averse to googling (which is ironic by itself) and ChatGPT, at least in the Thinking modes loves to look up current and correct info. If I ask something a bit more involved in Extended Thinking mode, it will think for several minutes and look up more than 100 sources. It's really good, practically a Deep Research inside of a normal chat.

As a long time Kagi user, I absolutely love this. I have tried getting into the RSS game for a long time but it never seemed to stick. This seems like a good middleground because it also follows the Kagi philosophy of simplicity with a wide range of diversity of sources.

As far as I can tell, it's a really nice aggregator of articles with a nice presentation which will hopefully allow me to slowly stop going to news sites multiple times per day. Also, it's a nice way of escaping enshittification in the same way Kagi as a search engine (by being paid) and other Kagi projects (like Small Web) are doing it.

> And plenty of people seem to accept, if not love, gen-AI art. I don't get it, but it's true.

I get a kick out of generating photos with family and friends in different styles like Play-Doh, Simpsons, Ghibli, etc. All of them like it, too. Maybe that's what people like, a very relatable use of the technology.

> Artificial means human made, if we made a thing that is intelligent, then it is artificial intelligence.

Aren't humans themselves essentially human made?

Maybe a better definition would be non-human (or inorganic if we want to include intelligence like e.g. dolphins)?

Are we seeing the same thing, though?

The average consumer replaces their smartphone about every 3 years (at least in the western world, places like India are on an even shorter cycle). Additionally, the global average price of a smartphone is about 400 USD. That's a much faster moving market than cars and the investment is much lower.

BYD is very impressive, but I wouldn't look at the situation as the same.

Just this weekend, I've decided to nuke my Windows 11 drive because of Recall and all the shitty practives and give a sweet extra 1GB SSD to Linux Mint for storage. Didn't know Microsoft would give me additional reasons to feel good for doing it.

I'm not missing anything. I've got the newest Nvidia drivers and kernel which were all very easy to install and one search away to find instructions on how to do it. Everything is rock solid. No surprise dark patterns, no enabling/disabling of issues. I keep Timeshift backups of the last 2 days and one for last week and month. If whatever I am playing with on the system goes haywire, I just restore my system with Timeshift.

I've also been giving up on modern gaming, too much enshittification (loot boxes, engagement driven gameplay, messages for modern audiences, etc.) happening lately, but everything I've thrown at Proton ran great. I've been rediscovering the great libraries of retro gaming consoles, especially the DS and 3DS so my computer is actually a workhorse now and my gaming is single player retro bliss.

Same. I've always been one to say that I like Windows and it never gave me trouble (apart from Windows ME), but I can't take this enshittification any more. I can't remember when the last time was I opened up the start menu and started typing something and reliably got the App I wanted and knew is installed (since I used it dozens of times already).

Gaming, which was always why Windows had to be installed on my desktop, has gotten quite stale lately so my Steam Deck and Anbernic devices have been a blast playing through some nostalgic retro games.

It's also quite interesting how stable and uneventful my time (almost 2 years now) with Linux Mint has been. I remember the time when I couldn't wait for new Windows versions to come out. Now? I never want a new one to ever come out again in favor of stability and predictability.

Maybe people are just tired from the same old alarmism which is then used to introduce more and more limitations and never touches the biggest offenders. Sure, introduce the next tax, lovely. Hope Nestle doesn't get touched.

The idea is very nice and the app seems good enough for what it is, but having to also create an account on my partner's phone and connecting with them defeats the whole purpose for me. I want to surprise them, not let them know that I installed an app, which they have to create an account for and connect to me, to surprise them.

I guess that the idea is to connect the personality test results between partners to find better suggestions, but please consider dropping that suggestion. With only 5 suggestions, this app is sadly getting deleted from my phone very soon.

If you are at the point where you are looking for additional Rails (or whatever) developers, you already hopefully have people with runtime platform knowledge in the team.

It looks like Old Reddit, but the content is New Reddit.

It's just a stream of political dreck and virtue signalling. I really don't need to see Trump in every second post and read about people who hate cars, meat, Twitter, Reddit, etc.

And my taxes go towards (in most countries) supporting that. Also, the children are not obligated to take care of me. They can choose it as a profession and I will gladly pay them for it, just as I gladly pay any professional in my life for cutting my hair or helping my children if they have trouble at school (even though they themselves do not have to have children and are helping them instead of the other way around). Are the people providing services also selfish for providing them?

Off the top of my head: not being able to biologically, thinking that they are not able to provide worthy living conditions for the children, abuse in childhood and being afraid of exhibiting the same behaviour, having sick parents/siblings who need a lot of care leaving no time for children, not wanting to increase the burden on the planet... or just plain having the freedom of choice.

What if someone is not waiting on anything and just doesn't want to have kids out of any number of reasons? It's alright if you have regrets, but I don't see it as selfish if you never intended to have kids in the first place.

Frames are still used as underlying microfrontend technology with surprising success. Theory available at https://martinfowler.com/articles/micro-frontends.html#Run-t... and an implementation at https://luigi-project.io.

It's already out of date since it's a whole 1 day old. SAP announced a "restructuring" of 8000 jobs today (https://www.reddit.com/r/Layoffs/comments/19e494c/sap_to_lay...).

Ah, so now you're packing being a student on top of it all. So, let's reiterate: Brave vs. App + Account + Subscription + Student subsidy. Anything else?

Under the assumption that you have an account and have paid for Premium, right?

I'm using Firefox everywhere I can, but in all honesty, this whole flagging issue is making me want to switch to Brave.

Brave on iOS is a, more or less, perfect Youtube Player. I haven't seen ads in months and it just works while also supporting the download of videos and creation of local playlists.

What are your costs? I find their pricing scheme a bit confusing...

What is there to be fair about? We've had various iterations of GPS navigation for decades now. Yet, most maps on most infotainments are unusable slow pieces of rubbish. UX of various GUIs has been a point of research for a very long time. Yet, they are discovering it as if it was a completely new concept, the concept of touching something and it actually doing something in a short amount of time. It's like they are purposely ignoring the plethora of mobile devices and GPS units of the last decades.

I can vouch that Dacia or Renault is not any better and serve as a pure gateway to Apple Carplay.

This one comes to mind immediately: https://xkcd.com/927/

Is "think of the bioterrorists" the new "think of the children"?

Better Nate than lever!

At the end of the day, it comes down to what your time is worth to you. I do about 1500 searches per month and paying 10€ per month for those searches to actually be relevant makes it a no brainer.
