Try “@gmail” in Gemini I think this is a problem for Google. Most users aren't going to do that unless they're told it's possible. 99% of users are working to a mental model of AI that they learned when they first encounter

So you trust Google with the data in your google drive, but you don't trust Google (Opal Team) with the data in your drive? Yes. More specifically, I trust Google not to use my files to train its AI if I haven't given permission

In the past I've worked with devs who complain about the cost of context switching when they're asked to work on more than one thing in a sprint. I have no idea how they'd cope with a tool like this. They'd probably comp

There is no central aggregated place for data about US citizens arrested for the sort of things the UK's Malicious Communications Act covers. There is no reason to assume that the US is more free. It could be much worse.

When I was a kid I had a big box of C15 tapes. The number is the length in minutes. 15 minutes isn't all that useful for music or voice, but it was ideal for ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 games (and saves, and software I wrote myself.)

I want to get better at Systems Thinking. I'm fairly certain that while AI is going to get better and better at most things, it's only ever going to be able to look as far ahead as the prompt it's given and the context availa

There's a famous quote that says we all die twice, once when we physically die and a second time when we are truly forgotten by humanity. It's attributed to lots of different people. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2

It isn't, and the other companies that offer cloud AI that Nvidia has invested in can carry on happy they have one less competitor. This is how business works in the 21st century - once one company has a dominant position and a massive

Considering tablets and laptops are ubiquitous, it is pointless to optimize for narrow mobile consumption unless it is the most trivial content (just a text scroll, basically). At the company I work for we make a website for gaming. 80% o

Isn't one fairly major problem with using lockfiles that there could be packages in the lockfile that aren't used in the application? If I run "npm i package" that doesn't tell you whether or not 'package'

You still need ridiculously high spec hardware, and at Apple’s prices, that isn’t cheap. You can easily run models like Mistral and Stable Diffusion in Ollama and Draw Things, and you can run newer models like Devstral (the MLX version) a

The world has changed a lot in the past hundred years. People don't really die violent deaths at the hands of others much any more. Journalism has failed to keep up, and images like this show that very clearly.

That's really nice, but the point where the vision is should move too. You learn as you progress. What you enjoy changes. The entire industry moves. Being focused on the goal you defined 30 years ago is almost certainly wrong for mos
