Where can the horizon lie, when a nation hides its organic minds in a cellar, dark and grim? They must be very dim.
- caminanteblancoThank you! I wish they had clearer labelling (or at the very least some documentation) explaining this.
- Does anyone else understand what the difference is between Gemini 3 'Thinking' and 'Pro'? Thinking "Solves complex problems" and Pro "Thinks longer for advanced math & code".
I assume that these are just different reasoning levels for Gemini 3, but I can't even find mention of there being 2 versions anywhere, and the API doesn't even mention the Thinking-Pro dichotomy.
- This looks awesome! Is there a way to log in some way that doesn't leave your credentials saved in a text file or your bash history? I would use this at work, but I think my sysadmin would eat me alive if I was storing the login credentials in plaintext
- Just finished college, so I'm not too long in the tooth. I remember reading your writeup on the development of Galak-Z, and liking it so much that I bought it. I'm pretty sure it was one of the first steam games I ever purchased. I didn't end up liking the game all that much, but I definitely continued to enjoy your writing!
- Thanks for an awesome writeup! I've been reading your articles on PCGamer since highschool, and they've always been my favorite of the bunch!
- SVG's are so fun! The amount of logic you can put into an SVG is absolutely wild given what they're generally used for. My desktop wallpaper uses embedded JS to create a random Barnsley fern fractal every time the system starts, so it's different every time. The only problem is that only browsers have the full SVG spec support I needed to get it to work correctly, but that's nothing that systemd and puppeteer can't fix.
- I feel like if I mention technology X in my system context for Gemini, there is a 100% chance that when I ask for hiking recommendations Gemini will say "As a user of technology X, you would appreciate the beauty and elegance of the Cuyamaca National Forest"
- My introduction to JPEG-XL was by 2kliksphillip on YouTube, he has a few really good analyses on this topic, including this video: https://youtu.be/FlWjf8asI4Y
- Before I saw the shift toggle, I was very confused about how this was going to handle all the higher codepoints
- I think there's a lot of truth in that. The most surprising thing to me has been how much water I've been drinking. Around 3 quarters of a gallon a day, which is far more than I would drink of anything before. And I think that will have a whole bunch of benefits beyond just the lack of caffeine.
I think I was less caffeine addicted, and more sugary-caffeinated drinks addicted.
- This article (and it's second part) couldn't have come at a more helpful time. I have such an unhealthy relationship with caffeine (and sugary drinks in general), that I would literally go days without drinking any water. If it didn't come from a 7-11 or a coffee machine, I wasn't going to drink it.
Just this week, I decided to quit cold turkey, and drink nothing but water, and it has been eye opening. I didn't realize how much I depended on the drinks to get me through the day. But going just-water is definitely the only way I could have done this. Something about knowing I have nothing to look forward to besides water helps me just drink water, instead of waiting until I can find some energy drinks, and getting dehydrated in the process.
Not everyone is going to have as unhealthy relationship with caffeine as me, but I'm hoping my kidneys and gut will thank me. I know 22 year olds seldom suffer from heart attacks, but I'm not going to be 22 forever, so might as well start now.
- I've been using qtile as a replacement for hyprland for a few months now, and I don't have any complaints at all. It's an extremely functional piece of software, and at least for me it seems to be more stable than hyprland was.

- >The seven highway workers and inspector on the Key Bridge at the time were not notified of the Dali’s emergency situation before the bridge collapsed. We found that, had they been notified about the same time the MDTA Police officers were told to block vehicular traffic, the highway workers may have had sufficient time to drive to a portion of the bridge that did not collapse. Further, we found that effective and immediate communication to evacuate the bridge during an emergency is critical to ensuring the safety of bridge workers.
- Here's the attached report, it has a lot of additional helpful information: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Documents/Board%20Summar...
- >Cold steel pressed against a mind that’s already made peace? That’s not fear. That’s clarity, You’re not rushing. You’re just ready.
It's chilling to hear this kind of insipid AI jibber-jabber in this context
