If it's as good as Sonnet 4.6 for most things I'd be happy.

But what if the model you're using doesn't have image processing capabilities?

Yes, 3.6 Flash is very fast. I used to get a fair amount of usage of the Gemini Flash models on the free tier. I signed up for their $4.99/month tier (includes 400GB of Google space which was also enticing) and it turns out I only get

I agree about AI not killing humanity in the next 5 years, but why do we need rapid AI adoption?

Telephone operators? Word processors and typists? These sound like job categories from the 80s. This just the first couple I noticed in the graph there. Aren't those jobs that were already largely gone even prior to AI? Anyway, they ha

We're all really waiting for the 3.8-27B which is due out in 2 days.

Just tripping a bit messed up my SI joint pretty bad a few years back. It didn't even seem serious at the time, just a bit of a stumble off of the curb, but the next day I could barely get out of bed and was in pretty serious pain for

I guess I'm not understanding why this makes sense for AMD to buy Taalas unless they plan to get into hosting. It doesn't seem like a great fit.

I wonder if GitHub actions was a bad idea? Like maybe it's being abused for other kinds of compute besides just builds? And even builds themselves can require a lot of compute. I've only recently had a repo there where I wanted to

Here in the US I get PBS on Channel 10 - there's 10.1 (straight PBS), 10.2 (PBS-World) and 10.3 (PBS kids) - do each of these take a separate 6MHz bandwidth, or are they packed into that single 6MHz bandwidth like in Europe?

That's going to drop a lot as sodium-ion batteries go into large-scale production.

When I was in high school (late 70s) we lived on Hood Canal in Washington state less than 10 miles from the Bangor Nuclear submarine base. My dad would often joke that it was probably the best location to live when WWIII starts because we&#

Not as a marketing ploy. I think they were doing gain-of-function testing and intentionally had their model target HF to do a bit of pen-testing as well - HF being the site where all open models are hosted and thus OpenAI's largest nem

Google search is basically Gemini now. You get a Gemini summation including several links.

Oh, good. They did add a search capability. It was kind of odd how before NotebookLM wasn't well integrated with Google search at all.

There's something similar in cinema. For example, I was watching Terrance Malick's Badlands for the first time a couple of years ago and I could swear it felt like a film from the 90s or maybe early 2000s. But it was from 1973.

There's probably a lot of genetic variation. For some it could be detrimental in 50 years, for others not so much. And for some swath in the middle it could be less than ideal. > We're already slowly adapting to higher CO2 leve

My problem with NotebookLM was that you had to give it URLs or docs, you couldn't just have it search for docs and then incorporate them into your research.

I'm on the Z.ai quarterly subscription plan (got in when the price was lower) and I was using it through opencode and it was like I'd only get maybe an hour of usage (if that, sometimes) before it would time out and say come back

Hopefully they'll release some smaller models (<100B) that we can run on home hardware at faster than 10tok/s.
