Basically it boils down that for most queries google/gemini-2.5-flash is the workhorse fast/cheap/good enough. Add in multimodality, 1M context and it is such a Swiss army knife. It is cheap and performant enough to run 100k

Curious, what kind of prompt gives you the same text adventure game? Surely it is a question of prompting some context(in UI mode) or with additional kicker of temperature (if using API)? At the very least some set up prompt such as "G

Meaning someone paying $200 monthly is going to use it as much as possible to get their money's worth. I slightly disagree. My hypothesis would be that the distribution for $200 users would be bimodal. That is there would be a one conc

In my programming, algorithms and data structures courses the homework assignment completion has gone from roughly 50% before LLMs to 99% this year. Making assignments harder would be unfair to those few students who would actually try to s

As you get older, you have to become much pickier which if any wheels to reinvent. As others said reinventing the wheel is fantastic for learning, but not so for production / real life stuff. So for example implementing your own transf

I can understand using SR for languages or I suppose geography or history trivia. However, how do you use for skills/domains where you have to actively think? Like in your Python example, knowing about os.scandir() would be a tiny bit

Sure alcohol is not healthy. Unfortunately, neither is oxygen. Now you will say that we need oxygen and can survive without alcohol. But then again, we do not have a Faustian bargain of choosing to abstain of all the fun things in life and

Fascinating that 5090 is often close but not quite as good as 4090 and RTX 6000 ADA. Perhaps it indicates that 5090 has those infamous missing computational units? 3090Ti seems to hold up quite well.

Not the previous poster, but based on my own experience as a kid and also my kids I'd say age 5 is perfectly good age to introduce the books. As an adult you pick up on some the more serious themes but as a kid you just enjoy the story
