You need to pay for Gemini to access it. In my experience, it's not worth it. So much potential in the experience, but the AI isn't good enough. I'm curious about the OpenAI alternative, but am not willing to pay $200/mo

It seems like a really easy way to overfit your model to your data, even while using LLMs.

I guess that'd explain the big bang nicely. It does make it the "outer universe" disappointingly unobservable though.

I learned this in the Cal Academy of Sciences the other day! Apparently we’re about halfway through a region of less interstellar activity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Bubble

I don't understand why you need to wait to the end to checkout. It should happen via mobile app while you add things to the cart. At the end scan a qr code to pay or something when you leave.

I never understood this. Cows make protein from eating grass. I assume that we can do much of the same.

I read the GP as it’s easier to have the single infrastructure team implement it than have every single product team add support in their service. I mean most app servers abstract away https on the server level and most dev is done unencryp

The intuitive way for me to understand the Monte Hall problem is to pretended there are 1000 doors. You pick 1. There’s a 1 in 1000 chance you get it right. The host then opens 998 doors that don’t have the prize. Do you keep your original

I’ve made my own starter a couple times. It’s really no big deal. Takes a couple weeks of waiting but maybe an hour of total time over that two weeks.

I read it as: - Today, I need to predict tomorrow’s weather. - Yesterday I made some measurements of the (temperature, pressure, etc) conditions that I need for today’s prediction. - Yesterday it was impossible to know what measurements I’d

I’ve found that it’s not the setup but the maintenance that’s hard with these sort of solutions for others.

I’ve been self medicating with podcasts to solve this exact issue for 5-6 years. I’d advise trying to wean yourself off it before it goes on too long. I now have tinnitus from the earbuds in my ears at night.

I just got back from the Netherlands, which is an interesting contrast. They use probably the same amount of space as a six lane stroad in some places, but instead of being entirely for cars, it looks like this: - 1 or 2 car lanes (each way
