They removed the docs and support for it https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/commit/af3b339a9d... . You can see the thoughts in AI Studio UI as per https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/

Depending how you count, parent comment is accurate. Hardware doesn't just appear. 4 years of planning and R&D for the first generation chip is probably right.

I wonder if this also applies to people that live urban environments that don't drive and have to navigate walking or using the subway. From my anecdotal evidence, it does seem that the average elderly person in NYC is way more active

There is a lot of snark here. My non-cynical take is that they are aping the practices of top AI labs. OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and many other AI startup darlings have a culture of in-office work. People in non-hub offices are en

Yes, but the ability to identify prodigies and give them the resources to realize their full potential is part of an education system, too. I don't know the full details of the IMO participants, but the team is geographically diverse.

At the very top, the US excels at math. We consistently place at the top or near the top in the IMO for instance ( https://maa.org/news/usa-first-at-imo/ ). Yes the team is largely children of immigrants, but they a

It used to be possible to break into iPhones by sending just a text message without the target clicking on anything. The only thing that kept this under control was there was an agreement to not target US-based numbers and the exploit was e

As an American with Southeast Asian immigrant parents, they will live in a way that most Americans would find intolerable. Whole families in a 1 bedroom, very long commutes, taking buses, and living apart from their children (CPS, I know).

This is just (neurotypical?) human programming to be considerate of others. The driver feels this, too. I'd assume that the CEO of Uber Dara can manage his emotions and boundaries, well. But he mentions > Some experiences made him f

Awesome work environment for one person can be not ideal for another. Pretty much all the top AI labs are both intensely competitive and collaborative. They consist of many former IMO and IOI medalists. They don't believe in remote wor

You can break your sequence into two parts. One part goes through the encoder and the other goes through the decoder, so each token only goes through one transformer stack.

It's not too uncommon. I started off working with Angular and Java. But I studied math. It depends on what type of role you want. If you'd be happy building the application layer and doing prompt engineering, just build applicatio

Mostly true in my network with the exception of people working on LLMs. They are motivated by nearly religious fervor that AGI is right around the corner. But I expect that to die down soon.

I don't think money is entirely the reason that doctors don't serve underserved populations. Many states with underserved populations like Missouri already pay more due to supply shortages [1]. The reality is doctors have the abil

In ML/AI space, at least some people thing analog computing is the next big thing, https://www.forbes.com/sites/karlfreund/2021/09/23/ibm-resea... . It hasn't taken off, yet, though.

Maybe it feels that way in the Bay area because the only companies are tech companies? In NYC, it seems that tech is the only industry that allows remote work. Finance in particular is requiring employees to show up.

Aim for big tech companies. They regularly hire engineers that can pass coding challenges but otherwise have no experience or CS degree. I was hired at Google this way and many of my colleagues have similar backgrounds. It's a bit hard

This is surprising to hear. I have a similar background, albeit my GPA was not quite as good and I terminated by mathematics education with a master's. I work with lots of PhDs that have transitioned from other STEM fields. Are you goo

I always felt Seattle got this reputation because we have so many transplants from California, particularly the Bay area and SoCal. Relative to there, it rains a lot.
