Every school I know of is deep in the Chromebook pot. These are fairly bad computers, Neo would be a big upgrade. But I suspect it would be years for school systems to even evaluate this.

Every other Google model I have tried felt very weak compared to qwen models. I dont have a ton of use case for multimodal though, so its very possible this is a fantastic multimodal model.

My Model Y headlight failed. Bought the ballast for like $125 on eBay. Had to take my dang front of the car apart, but Tesla had a really nice manual online. So it has pros and cons for sure!

I’ve moved in to doing my own plumbing, electric, HVAC. Tend to keep new enough cars that they don’t need much, knock on wood. But it’s not uncommon in “making” $500 an hour or more doing electric or HVAC.

I’m just not sure they have a moat or a long term play? I put $20 in and tried a few models. Then I went right to the model provider to put in $1000 and avoid the middleman tax. Now imagine a big corp spending millions on AI. That’s a lot o

Whats the right metric to consider credit card debt bad, or degrees of badness? When looking at nations, we look at debt compared to GDP. So for individuals, it would be debt compared to income? So someone who makes 20k and has a 10k cred

College was never about learning it was about signaling. I get two resumes on my desk, one went to Harvard, one learned about stuff on ChatGPT. Which has a higher likelihood of being a success?

For coding or talking to it? $20 is ok to chat I guess. $100 is minimum if you do this for a job.

But why did you flip that true to false? It sounds like a missing unit test. So at a minimum it’s do the flip, find the right place to unit test, and write a test. Or I just tell my LLM “this should be false because of X, fix and write a te

Hum I normally am doing a clean context for the sub agent. If I want my context I do it in the main session, if it’s side work I want a clean small context with just the directions.

Only feee if you are using 100% efficient resistance heating. A heat pump can be up to 400% efficient. And natural gas is a lot cheaper per dollar. So for most people… it saves a tiny bit but not free.
