I don't think it's literally "winner takes all" - I regularly cycle between Gemini, DeepSeek and Claude for coding tasks. I'm sure any GPT model would be fine too, and I could even fall back to Qwen in a pinch (exac

I'm a heavy user of exhaustive pattern matching with sealed classes, definitely a great feature. You can achieve the same outcome as union types, but it's a lot more leg work, e.g.: ``` sealed class MyParam {} class Bar extends My

Off the top of my head: - Properly cross platform (including first-class JS/WASM interop) - AOT & cross compilation - Hot reload - Static typing with many nice features (generics, extension types, enhanced enums, etc) - Expressive

Probably because the last time the USA tried something like this, they lost 8 soldiers and about the same number of helicopters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw

If I see any story about OpenAI, I assume it's an intentional 'leak'. I know all companies spend money on paid PR but OpenAI (and Sam Altman) take it to a completely different level.

I suspect that generating textures directly in UV space is a bit of a dead end because UV maps are object-specific, so flux/SD/etc are going to have a hard time understanding the inputs. I've been experimenting with image-to-

I'm a happy Supabase customer. It's not just postgres, it's postgres + auth + functions + storage all in one place, with a very good local Docker environment and a variety of nice client SDKs. It's a quick/convenien

A new reasoning model release doesn't grab my attention as much as the fact that it's a Mamba-based model that's competitive with conventional architectures. (Strictly speaking I'm a bit late, because it seems the non-re

I had exactly the same issue, seems like it's practically useless for humanoid illustrations/characters.

This is exactly how Flutter (now) works on web - the browser loads a JS/WASM blob, and your app renders everything to a canvas - and you're right, almost everything you mention is problematic. There is a time and a place for that

Exactly this. Every time I revisit a Jetbrains product, I uninstall it within 5 minutes. It doesn't matter how great the features are, it's just sluggish. People can rag on Electron apps all they like, but VSCode on modern hardwar

Interestingly, Werner Heisenberg was decidedly non-Nazi (and was regularly attacked as a “white jew”), and even though he had ample opportunity to leave, he chose to stay to work on the German nuclear fission program. I don’t think it tarni

Normally I’d give the company the benefit of the doubt for the reasons you point out, but not in this case. If you’re asking increasingly convoluted/unrealistic/impractical questions, you can’t complain that the response wasn’t pr

Completely tangential, but from personal experience, the performance of Google Search had been degraded for at least 2 years prior, so when it was banned it was already mostly useless anyway. GMail continued for a few years after that - I&#

Gemini Flash is my go-to for many client projects, so there's at least a few people paying for it. If it fits your use case, it's easily the best value for money, and often makes something commercially viable that wouldn't ot

Oh wow, I'm from Adelaide originally and didn't know they where based there too (in my defence, I haven't lived there in 10+ years). Maybe I'll try and drop in and say hello when I'm back.

That might be true, but I'm not sure it will matter that much. They've put out two very compelling* products in the last month (Flash 2 & Veo), and hints that another Gemini Pro model is in the pipeline. When it comes to AI, t
