Is there timeline mentioned anywhere on when any of this will be available for unprivileged public as in soon, not soon, never?

bubblewrap is in many modern distros standard packages.

With all the supply chain issues these days onboarding new tools carries extra risks. So, question is if it's worth it.

That was annoying to read because there is no easy to see impact of each change. It's FL2 + Gen 13 combined.

I.e. what's the FL2 benchmark on Gen 12 compared to FL1?

"Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you".

Tell us why it was removed in the first place, why it takes years to put it back and it's still future promises as of March 2026. That's just a clown show.

Please post it here. I'd also like to know if 5.4 mini is better than Flash 3. Include reasoning and timing, if possible.

token/sec is meaningless without thinking level. If it's fast but keeps rambling about instead of jumping on it then it can take a very long time vs low token/sec but low/none thinking.

> What other alternatives exist in place of MCP? Arbitrary code via curl/sdks to call a remote endpoint?

cli?

for example aws cli. It's a full interface to aws API. Why would you need mcp for that?

and if you have any doubts, agents use it with a great effect even without any relevant skill. "aws help" is fully discoverable.

attentive — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 23:04:23 +0000

A lot of gemini bashing. But flash 3.0 with opencode is reasonably good and reliable coder.

I'd rate it between haiku 4.5 (also pretty good for a price) and sonnet. Closer to sonnet.

Sure, if I am not cost-sensitive I'd run everything in opus 4.6 but alas.

It's for diag and lookups. It doesn't look like it's doing edits with it.

opencode is only diags, if I am not mistaken.

Ask HN: Why Gemini CLI startup is so slow?

attentive — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 04:42:56 +0000

time claude /quit - 1.47sec

time copilot /quit - 1.04 secs

time gemini -i /quit - 7.36 secs

Why gemini cli startup is so slow and why google doesn't care?

I guess the reason it won all those awards is the same reason I dislike it as much. It's more of a political pamphlet than a sci-fi. Definitely far from "Best SciFi Ideas".

Best way to find yourself in war is not prepare for one. As shown time and again. Also, persuading your enemies not to prepare for war is a part of the war effort.
