In practice I find the Gemini models to be the worst for coding and design.
The irony is that the design and UX of the website is terrible.
Perhaps it's marketing to attract those who wear sweatpants to school. The author's other posts are written normally.
They took an investment from a new startup (Quantum Leap Research) focused on national security.
If it is not already, swatting someone should be considered a serious offense, like calling in a bomb threat. Baiting emergency police services to handle personal disputes is absolutely ridiculous.
Can it be used completely offline, without an account, etc?
I finished reading it, wondering the same thing!
Is that relevant? The secret is the value.
Checked out the video. Looks cool!
When a power supply gets old, wonky things start happening and the computer becomes unstable in weird ways. I am not sure the computer/power metaphors are the best fit.
It's the cool thing to do now...
"OpenAI is still working in GPT-4-level models."
This may or may not be true - just because we haven't seen GPT-level-5 capabilities, does not mean that it does not yet exist. It is highly unlikely that what they ship is actually the full capability of what they have access to.
"Which would be at odds with sending data up to the cloud for processing"
I don't think there is enough information here for that to be a true claim - it is possible to send the input used for inference, to the cloud, while computing the result locally. It is also possible to store the input used for inference while offline, and send that later when the device is online.
Speaking from personal experience, I moved from VSCode to Doom Emacs a year ago, and the on-ramp wasn't nearly long or as tough as I thought. The defaults are good, and anything else that I customized I actually just used ChatGPT/GPT-4 to generate it. It took about a month to get used to the new setup. With LSP/Magit, it feels like I'm not missing out on much from what VSCode offered, and then whenever I want to personalize it, I can. For a creative person (which I'd argue most developers are, kind of by definition), it's fun.
It would be cool to see a screenshot.
Other cross-platform alternatives:
Bitwig (1 month free trial, I believe)
Reaper (can re-'evaluate' forever) - better for mixing than producing IMO
I agree. When possible/working with sound, I would take a tactile experience (right-brain/feel?) over a mathematical/analytical experience (left-brain/logic?). I also don't know music theory and I haven't dedicated time to learn math, so I lean on my intuition more than anything.
I want to read it, but I don't want any spoilers (or, remove any surprise). I'll check it out after I've played the game!
I don't think it's working for me (none of the keybinds work, and I don't see the fps counter). Brave, script-blocking disabled.
