"Wrong info" lol. We just have different use patterns or expectations. Saying you're a "AI power user" is not the appeal to authority you think it is. Everybody here is using AI.

For me the sudden drop in quality happened a few months ago, and now it's back to being good again. Likely there's a lot of dynamic tweaking of model quality. Rate limits are still fine for me at least.

I've used it with fairly wide open prompts and also detailed markdown specs and it has no problem making them perfectly, but good code quality requires a bit of follow up work. I either vibe code a whole personal project, or strongly d

If you use the Pro model, it can handle fairly broad prompts. Flash is very basic (no thinking)

Anecdotally the 15/month basic Gemini plan allows coding all day. I'm not hitting the limits or needing to upgrade to 100/month plans like other people are doing with Claude or Codex. Caveat: Gemini has been dumbed down a few

And socialisation happens naturally. You're waiting and lots of other people are doing the same. You are working on problems and can exchange tips or complements or cheer people on. It's inherently social. The gym is not inherentl

If the bikes had baskets they were very cheap and not worth stealing. Obliviously theft is lower in general in Japan and the police will pursue it. Police have been known to arrest someone ordering a small coffee cup and using it to fill a

Well I'm glad it had the desired effect. Your comment was ruder.

Context: parent originally said "you should not say 'worth mentioning', if it's worth mentioning you can just say it". That sentence has now been edited out so my comment looks weird.

Bicycle is a surprisingly good analogy. If you cycle for the exercise or the challenge, an ebike sucks. If you cycle to get from point A to point B and be healthier than a car, it's great. And just like with bikes, people who take prid

The generated code is an abstraction, as you do not need to concern yourself with how it was made, only the surface API. Saying "can we let the meme die already" is not an argument.

You don't need to say "Minor aside" either. Thankfully language is a creative endeavour not a scientific one.

They're obviously great for commuting. For general use, they are in theory thief-proof because you can take them everywhere with you. The downside is they're expensive so you HAVE to take them everywhere with you. Leave them out a

I want app X. I know how to code it but it'll take a whole weekend/vacation days. I would learn nothing. Now I can use AI to make it. What exactly am I losing here?

If you're coding for the sake of coding, maybe. If you have itches to scratch and ambitions, but can't summon the motivation or the time, then how is that "working in your free time"? A project that used to take up my en

It frequently fails to apply its diffs at first but it always succeeds eventually for me. I'm happy with it. I understand it is slower than other models but it also costs barely anything per month.

Absolutely! Really good value too, thousands of puzzles.

I wonder what I am missing, because I can use gemini-cli with English descriptions of features or entire projects and it just cranks out the code. Built a bunch of stuff with it. Can't think of anything it's currently lacking.

IMHO you should just stay with a Mac. The Framework Pro is the antithesis of a Mac, you can literally take your old framework's mainboard and network card and put them into the new chassis. Everything is replaceable. As long as they co

All of the critically acclaimed puzzle games seem to be sokobans. I have no idea why sokoban is so popular; I find it very tedious to move blocks around manually, especially if I already know the solution and I'm just making it happen.

You're also locked into their ecosystem for repairs, accessories etc. all of which are more expensive than anywhere else.

I use thinkpad (T14s now, X1 Carbon and X220 in the past). The hard drive is just m.sata and very easy to upgrade. You really can't upgrade the disk on a Mac?
