Whatever the merits of benchmarking, Gemini's performance is not reflected in my user experience. 3.0 is not good. It doesn't seem any better than 2.5.

I use different LLMs for different things and pass work back and forth among them. Lately, inspired by @repligate.bsky.social, I mention LLMs to each other during work. They seem extra peppy when I do, like it brings out a healthy sense of competition, collaboration, community. Maybe I imagine it.

I like Robin Hobb and Robert Jordan. What are good fantasy books / series for me to dig into? Recommendations sought. Please help!

I like cozy social networks. The most successful sites all started with an intimate, communal feel. 4chan, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit were all initially niche spaces to connect with others like you. I'm not sure Bluesky is that. Has the time of online social networks come and passed?

It feels like we're back in the 1990s. Technology becomes paradoxically more irrelevant as it permeates ever more of our lives. I am grateful that focus is (re)turning to embodied local communities.

More evidence in support of Dead Internet Theory:
Have you tried buying a domain name lately? 90% are reserved and unused, 8% are taken. One must scrounge through the remainder to pick up something worthwhile. (I still can't believe I managed to grab a sensible five-letter .com a few years ago.)

What is going on at Anthropic? The latest updates to Claude have been catastrophic. And I'm not exaggerating.

Anthropic have reduced token limits by 1/3. I'm consistently getting cut off at what used to be 65-68% of my previous token quota. I have two Claude Pro subscriptions. Until this week, those tokens were enough to make it through five hours of work. Now I have hours of downtime every day.

I'm making a personal productivity app and it's sort of an ad hoc passion project so I haven't engineered it to within an inch of requirements. It's been knocking around in my head for a few years and I'm finally getting it out and part of me regrets not planning it out meticulously but ...

I spent days trying and failing to get Claude to understand and debug an issue. I finally crashed out and took a break for 48 hours. Then in this last hour, I 1) ask Claude to describe how the app functions, and 2) respond with how I want the app to function, and 3) Claude FINALLY fixes the problem.

I didn't know about pCloud. It's neat that it lets you pick your data region. Also sells a lifetime purchase rather than ongoing subscription. Fantastic: www.pcloud.com
