I read After Virtue while in college and suffering something of an existential crisis. That book really challenged me to shift my thinking on purpose and meaning. It holds great value to me on a personal level. Thank you, Professor MacIntyre.
Can you provide your prompt? This hasn't matched my experience. You can also try enabling search grounding in the right hand bar. You have to also explicitly tell it in your prompt to use grounding with Google Search, but I've had very good success with that even for recent or niche plugins/libraries.
Never edit files manually during a session (that'll bust cache). THIS INCLUDES LINT
Yesterday I gave up and disabled my format-on-save config within VSCode. It was burning way too many tokens with unnecessary file reads after failed diffs. The LLMs still have a decent number of failed diffs, but it helps a lot.
It's good to see some actual competition on this price range! A lot of Flash 2.5's edge will depend on how well the dynamic reasoning works. It's also helpful to have _significantly_ lower input token cost for a large context use cases.
Funny you should say that. Google just announced today that they are giving all college students one year of free Gemini advanced. I wonder how much that will actually move the needle among the youth.
Yes, the weekend is Saturday and Sunday in the United States. I guess you could consider it like "bookends", for us it's the start and end of the week.
I can replicate your weather one! I think it's taking "this week" extremely literally and the week ends on Saturday. Asking for "this weekend" gives Saturday and Sunday. Asking for the next few days gives 3 days out, etc .
Definitely not addressing the spirit of the request.
These sound like fairly dated anecdotes. I don't doubt them at all - I had similar horror stories. I disabled Gemini on my phone in order to keep the old assistant for a long time, but it really has gotten a lot better in the last few months.
I noticed on mobile (Chrome on Android) when I tried to drag one of the tiles on the left boundary, my browser executed the page back action instead. You should be able to override this behavior with JavaScript by intercepting the default. I think this is one of the rare cases where that would be appropriate!
This was published the day before Gemini 2.5 was released. I'd be interested if they see any difference with that model. Anecdotally, that is the first model that really made me go wow and made a big difference for my productivity.
I ask this without a hint of sarcasm as someone who hasn't used Facebook in a decade: what is currently displayed on your news feed if not updates from friends?
No, the article you linked specifically says this is because of increased quality and fewer new features reducing the rate at which users upgrade. Apple still has roughly 60% of the installed user base in the US.
> Amazon is rarely the cheapest way to have a package delivered to your home in less than two days. You can often find people much cheaper if you don’t mind waiting a week or two.
But "waiting a week or two" seems directly at odds with delivered in less than 2 days. End users don't really care about shipping speed per service (unless it's a perishable or temperature-sensitive item). They care about how long it will take to arrive from the time the order is placed.
Matt Levine is one of the most entertaining and informative business writers around. Bloomberg is paywalled, but if you sign up for Matt's newsletter you can get his articles for free via email. I highly recommend supporting him if you enjoy the writing.
I think this one is different because the legality of training on copyrighted material is an open legal question while distributing/seeding copyrighted material is decidedly illegal.
Gemini naming seems pretty straightforward at this point. 2.0 is the full model, flash is a smaller/faster/cheaper model, and flash thinking is a smaller/faster/cheaper reasoning model with Cost.
