I used 2.5 pro a good amount before Sonnet 4.5 dropped, it was fine for the price but nothing close to the value of 2.5 flash.
I was disappointed to learn that the “Gemini 3” launch was just pro. I want to see what a new Flash model brings to the table.

So glad I could watch the postgame interview of some Michigan player squeaking past a cupcake then 10 minutes of commercials instead of J Rod’s touchdown

Minecraft works great on the deck. There’s a little futzing to set up the launcher at first, but it’s well within any tech person’s wheelhouse.
For Java players it’s one of the only portable options. Especially with the steam input controls that let you go wild with button mappings.

The service was far more popular than the device and people called it “Apple TV” anyways. This one makes sense to me, provided they’re changing the name of the device soon.

Are you under the impression that bakeries didn’t compete with each other before the advent of joint-stock companies?

it's just weird how we phrase it as "remote doesn't work" despite all the evidence pointing otherwise, rather than an abject failure of management "i can only run teams if i can physically touch them" and "three hours of traffic and wearing headphones all day is peak productivity"

Selling stuff just didn’t exist before the Dutch East India company apparently. Competition is exclusive to arranging society around the desires of shareholders.

Execs all over this industry are offloading all management and strategy onto ICs by mandating that line needs to go up with AI somehow. I didn’t think the abdication of leadership and responsibility could get any worse, but here we are.

No disagreements here. I’m probably on some AI labeler or blocklist by now for posting mostly functional takes about LLMs. I respect where the anger comes from, but the dogmatism is frustrating.
