About 2x-2.5x off-peak for Flash, 2x-4x I'd say for Pro (x6 on cache in, the biggest increase throughout the board). And twice as much in peak hours.

I personally think that it's just fun and “in the spirit” of writing to be pedantic about it and typographically expressive in general. In many ways, writing is a very creative process, because it involves “fixating thoughts”, making s

Not having a bot API is what stops me from moving to Signal. I have 10-ish telegram bots running for myself, I just use telegram as UI for a script running on backend, and results are easily shareable with my other telegram contacts. I have

Noticing a pattern and just extending it without proving why it works is not really a solution. You can prove it without really "understanding" it using induction, but that still would be proof, same as just counting on a computer

While Serbia obviously has a lot of problems, comparing a country that protests almost weekly to North Korea is extremely entitled.

It's probably just under a huge load right now. Set it up pretty easily earlier on an M1 Air, but agent chats fail quickly with "model under load"

Gemma is an open-weight version of Gemini and obviously much less capable probably even than 2.5 Flash. Also the story you are linking to is a complete nothing burger, models are still very much hallucinating, especially on some extremely n

I believe this only works this way on some android forks, iirc you are talking about Samsung. Stock android would show a warning "do you want to install apk from this app?" and lead you to a settings page that enables apk installs

I appreciate the effort, but the result kind of shows why usually symbols are aligned as they are. Dashes, colons, angle brackets — all look way too high next to lowercase letter. I assume this stems from trying to align everything with bra

I did something similar a while back, but I treat it as "text thumbnails" and kind of replace YT frontpage with this. I don't use it all the time, but sometimes the clickbait is too much. Also I should add Gemini (the app) is

"adb install" is such a far cry from a normal install that it's laughable to call it an alternative or jumping though hoops "within reason". I imagine it won't allow to update an app without another adb install

Great hardware design, awful watchface design. The pseudo terminal interface looks like something I'd design right after discovering Linux at 13yo and making it my whole identify for a while.

2.5 Pro is limited to 100 request per day every where I think. My Gemini CLI is authed through the Google Account (not API key) and after 100 requests it switches to Flash, API keys are also limited to 100 requests each (and I think there&#

This is going to sound harsh, but welcome to the real world, I guess. Being in IT is pretty much the only job I know of today that is stable, pays well, is enjoyable, feels like it affects the world, personally engaging and challenging, etc

AI fearmongering probably produces a lot of clicks if upscaling gets labeled as "might bend reality". YT shouldn't just be doing it without user's input, but pearl clutching is unproportiona.

While I do agree — using at least a non-monospaced font would be a choice that's nicer to the reader.

This is a very weird sounding pretense. Why does it matter if Africa in particular is bigger on the map compared to other countries and continents? How does area matter in general? It's not like we can infer anything useful from area c

I tried Kokoro for voicing blog posts and articles and wasn't impressed to be honest. Right now Gemini 2.5 Flash TTS is a much more capable system with generous free limits (about 10 minutes per generation and about 90 minutes per day)
