Am I stupid? I run /corgi, nothing happens and I don't see a corgi. I have the latest version of the gemini CLI. Or is it just killedbygoogle.com

I absolutely don't know enough to know how legit or ridiculous that idea is, but it's been stuck in my head ever since I read about it here, and it's been fun to mull over.

I'm happy with Gemini, I just meant I want a native chatgpt-like service (unlike Siri)

What do you like about the AI integration? I'm considering leaving iPhone just to have basically native chatGPT integration, assuming gemini works that way, and assuming it can read and write to my calendar and access other personal da

I've always wondered why all the big chains are closing stores, blaming shoplifting, to the point where Belltown no longer has a single pharmacy. But I haven't seen any of the small independant shops/bodegas close, including

Yes, if you do a good job it removes a lot of mental overhead for building the feature or refactoring it later. Although if you do a bad job it might add a lot...

I agree and even though I usually have a lot of complaints about Stephenson's later books, I just keep reading them for some reason. There are real high and low points. He's the only author who I've read completely and I love

Tulum is a weird example, you can't really even walk from town to the beach. PDC, on the other hand. I agree with your general point.

To segment your customer base, like any company that offers "basic" and "premium" versions of basically the same thing. In this case, you get some people who walk in, order whatever is on the menu in front of them, then

I think it's an open secret that McDonalds uses the app to segment customers by price. If you just walk in and order off the normal menu, you pay a lot and they push all the pricier special items on you. If you use the app, you can fin

The blog post says small, medium, large, this shows about 8 different sizes, which is... even funnier somehow. The designers needed to see all the options in game.

If you're only using stackoverflow to have someone read the docs to you, then I feel you're missing the point. There is so much between the lines, and the LLM isn't 100% there yet.

They might not have interbred- dogs existed in the Americas but left very little genetic mark. The chihuahua is a European breed that was bred to look like a dog that existed in Mexico.

Everybody says that transit isn't practical because suburbs exist. But nobody said that cars were impractical before suburbs existed (well probably some people did and it turns out they were right)

When transit is good you can ride it wherever you want to, and you can do it drunk. That's my freedom

It's just the name. "sea" and "weed" are both unappetizing. Needs a PR firm to rebrand it.

That's not a useful description. The AI doesn't "know" what it "knows". It's not even filling some gap in its knowledge. It's just putting words together that statistically can go together.

You can't just put wild animals behind a fence and expect them to live happily. Typically animals have had to be domesticated through generations of breeding before they can live in those conditions, and for certain animals, that just

I strongly recommend "The Hidden Life of Trees". I listened to the audiobook multiple times while hiking/cycling through the woods and it changed the way I will see trees forever.

The Aztecs had both chocolate and peanut butter. But it took America to put them together. But seriously, is a cronut just a doughnut-shaped croissant or does it actually bring something completely new to the table?

Yeah, if it talked like 4chan and would randomly produce incorrect bomb recipes, people would totally use it more.

Depends on the building, the size and construction of the parking garage, and the amount of power that it is set up to draw. This can be easy or extremely expensive depending on the circumstances.

In the long run, it will benefit everyone else too. But that's without getting into all the ways that gas cars or cars in general are subsidized too.

I hadn't known that point about sort order. Wait, so suppose a language that uses the same alphabet as English used a reversed alphabet ordering. Would unicode include z-a somewhere else to support that language?

I don't know anyone with a 20 minute commute- I'd be in the office every day if I had that. Actually I think the commute pain is the best single predictor of how people feel about going back to the office.
