sdeiley··on Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders Condemn Tech 'Oligarchs' and Demand A.I. Reforms
Wow what a pair
sdeiley··on Ask HN: Fable hacked my piano, can I release the results?
Unironically Fable & Astra would give far better initial legal analysis vs HN.

Seems more like a PSA on how to do it yourself with plausible deniability.

sdeiley··on Google's Antigravity bait and switch
It does auto compact
sdeiley··on Google I/O
Do you realize they're sunsetting Antigtavity IDE? The Antigravity 2.0 they demoed is not an IDE
sdeiley··on Google I/O
No it doesn't. Look at artificial analysis.

But it's very competitive and significantly faster

sdeiley··on Laws of Software Engineering
Eh. I love absl::StatusOr<T> at Google
sdeiley··on Waymo Safety Impact
And they're in Pittsburgh. Seen them driving while snowing.
sdeiley··on Trump Will End Government Use of Anthropic's AI Models
What an absolute shitshow of an administration.

Massive kudos to Anthropic.

sdeiley··on Making Wolfram tech available as a foundation tool for LLM systems
There are dozens of us that used them before AI! Dozens!
sdeiley··on Show HN: Agent Multiplexer – manage Claude Code via tmux
So Agent teams but headless?
sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Lol i wish.
sdeiley··on Cord: Coordinating Trees of AI Agents
This isnt true for big code bases. Subagents or orchestration become vital for context handholding
sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Lol Ive admitted im a google employee, not hiding my bias.

Most things aren't worth commenting on except the gemini posts here, which I find insane.

And pretty much every example you gave Id expect quite a lot more for 2x the amount? Idk man

sdeiley··on Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia–By Elon Musk
Shocked pikachu face

Not the guy doing lotteries for voters!

sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
People can be and often are wrong.

You'd notice how good Opus is in Claude Code. IMHO CC is the secret sauce

sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
This is a decent analogy actually. Kudos
sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
For me any, tbh. I wouldn't fit in a Ferrari lol
sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
What did you say? Cant hear you over the $400B in capex spend.

Counterpoint: price will matter before we hit AGI

sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
The binary you draw on models that havent been out a quarter is borderline insane.

Opus is absurdly good in Claude code but theres a lot of use cases Gemini is great at.

I think Google is further behind with the harness than the model

sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Neither are cars but Ill take a Porsche over a Ferrari for a fraction of the price.
sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Everybody is subsidizing their prices.

But Flash is 1/8 the cost of sonnet and its not impressive?

sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Googler. We use GPUs, but its a drop in the bucket in the sea of our accelerators. We might sell more GPUs in Cloud than we use internally.

These are not data driven observations just vibes

sdeiley··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
People underrate Google's cost effectiveness so much. Half price of Opus. HALF.

Think about ANY other product and what you'd expect from the competition thats half the price. Yet people here act like Gemini is dead weight

Update:

3.1 was 40% of the cost to run AA index vs Opus Thinking AND SONNET, beat Opus, and still 30% faster for output speed.

I'm sorry but this is an insane take. Flash is leading its category by far. Absolutely destroys sonnet, 5.2 etc in both perf and cost.

Pro still leads in visual intelligence.

The company that most locks away their gold is Anthropic IMO and for good reason, as Opus 4.6 is expensive AF

sdeiley··on Gemini 3 Deep Think
3 Flash is criminally under appreciated for its performance/cost/speed trifecta. Absolutely in a category of its own.
sdeiley··on Gemini 3 Deep Think
I predict Gemini Flash will dominate when you try it.

If you're going for cost performance balance choosing Gemini Pro is bewildering. Gemini Flash _outperforms_ Pro in some coding benchmarks and is the clear parento frontier leader for intelligence/cost. It's even cheaper than Kimi 2.5.
