Gemini's deep research is queuing queries, that's the first time in 20+ years I see a Google product out of capacity 🤯

Home Assistant is pretty cool honestly. Weirdly I never used it before, but the setup is simple enough and now I've got a voice assistant running entirely locally.
On another note, I judged gpt-oss when it came out but in the end it's probably the best LLM that runs on my GPU

The more I use AI Studio the more I realize that its strength is to ignore what the user says and use common sense instead. Really an interesting learning.

Idea: assign business value to user stories during BDD, keep coverage of each stories, and then use this to prioritize exceptions in Sentry

My understanding with AI Studio is that they decided to limit the scope (React/Angular, a fairly generic design system, made to be deployed on Cloud Run) and then trained Gemini 3 specifically on that. The results are really good because of these limitations 🤓

Gemini 3: benchmarks are meaningless at this point, but the jump in ARC-AGI has to be acknowledged for sure. Then again... I don't really believe in benchmarks.
The real news is on the UX side. AI Studio is a great prototyping platform which requires almost zero technical skill. Super promising!

Those two-step login forms where you have to put the email before putting the password, why the fuck did it end up like this?
Some would say 2FA but that doesn't add up. Could it be it's because adding steps shows increased engagement or something?

So I talked about AI detox with all my colleagues that were super eager on AI and we all have the same feeling. That's gonna be fun when the bubble bursts and everyone realizes there was a life before LLMs and they don't need them so much to code

The mystery of office trash cans: when you empty them they get 90% full in 1 week and then 100% full in 1 year. Go figure.

Remember kids: if you're wondering why dry this old low-quality filament, the answer is that it will literally jam your printer in every single way that you didn't know was possible AT THE SAME TIME
Just had to pull _every_ component on the filament path and unjam them one by one
