honestly sounds interesting

at 19€/mo are you subsidizing it given the sharp rise of LLM costs lately?

or are you heavily restricting model access. surely there is no Opus?

Not sure I understand your criticism.

Yes, bike bells are for pedestrians to hear.

Problem: Pedestrians today wear ANC noise cancelling, thus being unable to hear approaching bikes' bells.

Skoda: We made a bell with a frequency usually not cancelled by ANC, so these pedestrians still hear it.

Sounds reasonable to me.

> and of course the mild hearing loss that accompanies _any_ frequent headphone usage

This may sound like an insane take, but idc:

I swear people (esp here on HN) are actually blind to the weaknesses of Gemini.

I must be among the handful of people who know how thoroughly lobotomized any AI agent from Google must be given their extremely radical historical and contemporaneous practices of censorship.
