My ti-82/83 got me into programming because I hated math so much that I taught myself to code an app that would help walk me through how to do various problems. I got in trouble but it was worth it. Also, drug wars, x wing vs tie fight

Looks like they are adding Peter Thiel backed ID verification too. https://reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1smr9vs/claude_is_abo...

I get into the same flow state as any fast paced strategy game like StarCraft.

The pricing changes are interesting. I wonder if at some point they will deprecate the less expensive model to increase their margins. Original Nano Banana (gemini-2.5-flash-image): $0.039 per image (up to 1024×1024px) Nano Banana 2 (gemini

What tooling are you using to use this and manage it?

Tried to use it, installed, enabled permissions, downloaded the parakeet model for English and then it crashed every time I released the button after dictating. Completely unusable.

I did a whole feature in a game I'm building while riding in a car to dinner in Claude this weekend. It could do everything itself except the PR (kicked me over to the GitHub app for that). I do wonder how that impacted my usage vs doi

So much this. I'm eagerly waiting to see what anthropic and OpenAI do to make dictation-first interaction a first class citizen instead of requiring me to use a separate app like Super Whisper. It would dramatically improve complex, fl

That feels like a feature and not a bug given the way some of this stuff is heading.

You can easily reduce the cost of coffee and drink much better coffee. A relatively inexpensive home setup can easily get you to $.75-.50/cup and that's using good beans.

Love his channel in general. I actually tried something similar and attended team meetings while sitting in a private jet in VR in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It was such a cool experience and totally immersive. Especially pulling up pinned

Hopefully the mobile version of AI Studio gets some improvement. There are some pretty awful UI bugs that make it really difficult to use in a mobile first manner. Though I still managed to vibe code an app using nanobanana. Now I just need

Do they partner with Clearview or Flock or anyone else? "Collect" seems like a weasel word that still leaves lots of options on the table.

This. The fact that democracy is up against an extremely organized, centralized, and well resourced effort decades in the making with seemingly nothing comparable to combat it has those opposing this on completely reactive footing. It is ha

This behavior should be an early warning sign of future potential enshitification and a reason to consider open weight models you can host elsewhere. If you are building on models that could disappear tomorrow when a company needs to juice

I am curious if this will drive them to do more visual heavy formats like images, gifs, and video with AI content. In many cases for big brands, the click is nice but not needed if you have proper measurement and incrementality experiments

Eh, depending on the stress of the work, how much I enjoyed it, etc, $250M can buy a lot of convenience in life that lets you do it for as long as you want and that can be truly transformational generational wealth.

I would be shocked if that timing was not intentional and thoroughly tested for maximizing sign ups.

Roo Code has had Orchestrator mode doing this for a while with your models of choice. And you can tweak the modes or add new ones. What I have noticed is the forcing function of needing to think through technical and business considerations

Unfortunately as an early NMS player with hundreds of hours, I have seen nothing that gives me hope that LNF will have the depth that is needed for the world to feel like that. Mile wide, inch deep. What made EQ an experience was those area

I am curious if, with the number and quality of signals they can capture from this, how uniquely they can identify individuals and determine things like age, gender, weight, etc. Particularly when analyzed probabalistically with other house

Generally agree but they are laying the path to enshitification. You see you can get turn by turn directions on the HUD, but only through their app where they want you to pay $10/mo for the privilege. Same for inputting addresses into

Not at all. When you're young and not tied down, and also likely lack much money, you prioritize a different lifestyle and are also in college to, presumably, accomplish your goal of getting a degree and learning something. For many, o

A restaurant near me has a framed monitor that displays some animated art with a scene of a cafe on a street corner. I looked closely and realized it was AI. Chairs were melted together, text was gibberish, trees were not branching properly
