I have this problem selecting Pro, but if I use 2.5 Flash it does a great job at these things. I am not sure why Pro does not work as well.

I feel like I am going crazy or missed something simple but when I use the Gemini app and I ask it to edit a photo that I upload, 2.5 flash works really well but 2.5 pro or 3.0 pro do a very poor job. I uploaded an image of me and asked it

I don't think it is pedantic at all. A prepared mind is exactly what is needed to take advantage of opportunity. Prepared mentally denotes a state of mind where you are actively looking for opportunities and that allows you to notice t

You see, I disagree. In all fairness, I am not in the health care industry but I have had a lot of bad experiences trying to get subtle health problems diagnosed and have done a ton of personal research that has greatly improved my life, de

These are all great tips, and mirror my admittedly few attempts at public speaking. But one thing that really must be internalized is that, for an hour presentation, you should spend many many hours preparing. If you do this, you will be en

Worked great for us, but I had to turn it off. Why? Because the IP databases that the two services I was using are not accurate enough and some people in the US were being blocked as if they had a foreign IP address. It happened regularly e

Tragedy of the Commons is a real thing. The goto solution that most companies use is to remove all privileges for everyone. But really, this is a cultural issue. This is how company culture is lost when a company gets larger. A better optio

1.5, where pulling the knife made you run faster. I really missed that when they removed it. Pulling the knife in CQC when you emptied your clip was a valid strategy before they changed it to keep the run speed the same in laster versions.

Is it possible that the reason you can enjoy all the good things that a Mac brings is because of, not despite, the fact that they are "pushy" on those things? Without the income from the pushy stuff, they would have to cut corners

It is funny, Perplexity seems to work much better in this use case for me. When I want some sort of "conclusive answer", I use Gemini pro (just what I have available). It is good with coding and formulating thoughts, rewriting tex

This is so overly simplified. There are many things in life that require you to make decisions with incomplete information. E.g., Business decisions and investment decisions. Not learning how to properly make decisions with incomplete infor

Shareholders of companies are "along for the ride" and simply participate in the decisions of the board. In theory if they fired Zuck and appointed a interim CEO and directed that the company get sold, then it could have happened

I am curious what you attribute that Warren Buffett is asking Tim Cook to do? Warren is notorious for being hands-off with operations. I can't imagine him having ANY commentary on what Tim Cook should be doing with Apple other than wit

This… is brilliant. Google and Facebook are highly lucrative because they designed a system where your profit margins (as a business) are largely sucked up by Google and Facebook by making you bid against your competitors at higher and high

10M to 20M in what amount of time? This is not incidental, it is critical to determining IRR (Internal Rate of Return). If the company goes to 20M in 10 years, that sounds great, but is only a 7% compound rate of growth. I can get that with

I’ll play. Assume paying for others to advertise for you is illegal. What if I hire a large staff to go out and sing the praises of my company? Walking downtown shouting to the rooftops. That is not advertising, right? What about them weari

I hate ads as much as anyone (full disclosure, I use an ad blocker), but with all due respect, the reason there is no “practical” alternative to a service displaying ads is – someone has to pay for it. And before you say “I am paying or I a

And you trust that you will ALWAYS have the awareness of intervening if and when FSD does something life threatening? You are braver than I am. I am willing to experiment in many ways with things in my life, but not WITH my life.

It varies greatly per company and industry. You are talking about Net Margin and it can vary a lot. A company like google has a 28% net margin. That means that after paying all expenses for employees and rent and everything, they have 28% l

This is overly simplistic. I don’t fault you for it, but it shows a lack of understanding how a business functions. There is a lot of overhead that goes into running a business, as others have mentioned. Taxes. Rent. Utilities. Licenses. Ce

I am not a big fan of Steve overall, but the one thing he inherently understood was “identity”. How I am using “identity” in this context is, how someone sees themselves. It is the story they tell themselves about themselves. I am a good le

Just some input on Magnesium Chloride for me. I have found it is the best for me as Chloride has no “effects” of its own, unlike things like Glycinate. Glycinate is good if it works for you, but I get wired and can’t sleep. I take citrate-b
