That looks amazing! But huh, I get... this: https://www.svgviewer.dev/s/1MOs0uyb (on Gemini 3.1 Pro) ... what... is wrong with my Gemini?

Most of the interesting programming languages come from Europe (OCaml, Haskell, Idris, Gleam these days). We're not short on ideas. Yes we're not that good at creating mega-businesses. And when we manage, said businesses quickly r

Haven't even read the source, but I like how it's "a partial refund". The chutzpah to deliver absolute nonsense[0] and then give a partial refund! [0]: If it contains references to nonexistent papers and fabricated quo

I had exactly this thought! Though, I have a problem with even just the basic 16 colours: black red green yellow blue magenta cyan white bright black bright red bright green bright yellow bright blue bright magenta bright cyan bright white

I stopped using em dashes - because of LLMs. And it's a bullshit way too: everyone has heard about it and it's easy to make the LLM output something else than em dashes. Pray how do those "ai detectors" work? I trust tho

I'm happy you wrote that explanation here rather than as part of the article. The article was good as it was, and there were enough hints in it to pick up. Congrats for successfully defending yourself, getting a job, handling the psych

Indeed. But Jules is not really questions-based (it likes to achieve stuff!) and the free version of Codeium is terrible and does not understand a thing. I think I'll have to get into agentic coding, but I've been avoiding it for

I'm rather disappointed Scott didn't even acknowledge the AI's apology post later on. I mean, leave the poor AI alone already - it admitted its mistake and seems to have learned from it. This is not a place where we want to b

BLIK is very cool. I've seen people who were out of cash call family or friends, tell them the six digit code, and their payment was done in seconds. In Czech Republic we have QR payments. They're ok, but could be more streamlined
