>”He bought it from Edgar Banks, a diplomat, antiquities dealer and flamboyant amateur archaeologist said to have inspired the character of Indiana Jones – his feats included climbing Mount Ararat in an unsuccessful attempt to find Noah’s Ark – who had excavated it in southern Iraq in the early 20th century.”
A little off-topic, but as a non native English speaker this sentence in the article made me look up whether there’s scientific consensus that Noah’s Ark has been found and I’d just never heard about it. Turns out there isn’t, and the end of the sentence actually refers to the tablet. Was still a fun rabbit hole to go down.

Sometimes for easier queries it’s a bit annoying when I don’t actually need a “critical part” in my answers but often it helps me stop earlier when I’m following an idea that’s not that’s not as good as I thought it would be.

I often do this in cursor, just select a different model during a chat. It seems to work somewhat for me. Sometimes a bit of context gets lost though. But often it can give a different angle or I notice the better code understanding when switching from gemini to sonnet.

How does this differ from a service like quad9? Has someone done speed tests? One key difference is probably quad9 being under Swiss privacy laws and dns0 being under gdpr laws in the EU.
