Which is precisely why the company cannot split with Elon, and people who think it will are deluded. Elon has a very loose association with truth, in a manner that usually yields long prison sentences. For many years he has been engaging wi

I don't see how it can get more trivial and convenient than npm install -g @google/gemini-cli then having a gemini command line app. I mean, I guess if you don't have node installed, but it's so prevalent in so

Given that there's another comment complaining about this being in node... This perfectly demonstrates the benefit of the nodejs platform. Trivial to install and use. Almost no dependency issues (just "> some years old version

The why is that plastic is an extremely convenient, cost effective way to make lots of things. And the evidence that it was deleterious to human health was negligible. And to be fair, it's still fairly uncertain. We demonstrated endocr

I'm pro-California and anti-noncompetes, but I'm not sure if this evidence demonstrates much. The banning of non-competes in California is a very recent thing, and if we're doing a correlation thing, California saw the vast b

FWIW, in trying to map normal blood types like O- or AB+ to the 47 (now 48 or 49) blood group systems, apparently that is only basically a value on the type 001 (ABO Group System) and type 004 (Rh group system). People could still have anti

I'm clearly not disputing the existence of antisemitism (or that it is a widespread scourge), and it isn't some trump card in a discussion like this. Someone claimed that only Jews are accused of split loyalties and that is insane

But they are spot on. The performative declaration of war on so-called antisemitism by this administration is 100% just a façade to target Muslims. Anyone who truly believes this administration, or the American right wing in general, care

Palantir, Meta and OpenAI just had executives commissioned as lieutenant colonels in the US armed forces. They are defacto extensions of the US government now. It is rather shocking seeing how rapidly the US is shifting from all of its hist

Not too long ago Google was a bit of a joke in AI and their offerings were uncompetitive. For a while a lot of their preview/beta models had a price of 0.00. They were literally giving it away for free to try to get people to consider
