Just recently, the US and China had repatriated fugitives to each other, despite having no extradition treaty. No extradition treaty does not mean transferring suspects is impossible.

Range always reads only the bytes your program touches. Nothing else. You can prob shell into a 1TB image from a Raspberry Pi :)

A few cool tricks:

`range shell python:3.12` - opens a shell image without pulling the entire image.

`range shell ubuntu --commands` - you are in Ubuntu. Type any command Ubuntu doesn't have and it comes from the image that has it. On the fly.

`range run --network none ubuntu` - network-isolated sandbox

range run ebs://snap-... -- cat /etc/os-release - opens an EBS snapshot with no EC2 instance

Another cool trick:

`range run python:3.12 --mount hf://moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct:/model -- du -sh /model` says 959G instantly :)

Most importantly, Range doesn't need any daemon, any container runtime, any registry or any image conversion. One binary only. On a Mac it boots its own tiny Linux VM per session, and on Linux it uses KVM.

Range lets you open a Linux environment of any size without downloading it first.

Let me just show you what i mean by that.

Example 1. Any docker image.

Say i want to test something with Python 3.12

  $ range shell python:3.12

  $ range shell python:3.12

  Range environment
    Artifact          python:3.12
    Logical size      1.35 GB
    Runtime           darwin/arm64
    Workload          interactive
    Profile           4 prior sessions
    Ready             2.82 s

  root@range:/# python3 --version
  Python 3.12.14

  $ range shell python:3.13
  Indexing python:3.13, layer 5/7, 6.20 MB, once
  Indexing python:3.13, layer 6/7, 26.89 MB, once
  Indexing python:3.13, layer 7/7, 249 B, once

  ...

  root@range:/# python3 --version
  Python 3.13.15

Example 2. I don't want to download at all.

  $ range shell https://github.com/andreygrehov/range/releases/download/demo/go1.23-arm64.range
  [1.85 second later]
  root@range:/go# go version
  go version go1.23.12 linux/arm64

AI Studio? Seriously, the hell is that? Gemini, AI Studio, Antigravity - what is all that nonsense? The 3.8 Flash announcement says the model is available to Google AI Pro customers. Is it the same as Gemini Pro, or some sort of AI Studio Pro? Based on the comments, i see the model is available in the Gemini App, not available in the UI, not available to Workspace accounts but is available to some personal accounts, yet I'm not a Workspace user. Some people have already mentioned that they are paid customers, yet they don't see the new model.

I know Google loves asking graph problems during their tech interviews, but I can't wrap my head why the customers should solve these problems as well.

- Flash-Lite

- 3.6 Flash [new]

- 3.1 Pro

The above is why i don't use LLM products from Google. If the model is not available right this minute (heck, hours before the release!), then I'm not gonna bother getting back to it tomorrow, because tomorrow I'll be playing with the new model from OAI/Anthropic.
