We have a somewhat complicated OpenSearch reindexing logic and we had some issue where it happened more regularly than it should. I vibecoded a dashboard visualizing in a graph exactly which index gets reindexed when and into what. Code works, a little rough around the edges. But it serves the purpose and saved me a ton of time

Another example, in an internal project we made a recent change where we need to send specific headers depending on the environment. Mostly GET endpoint where my workflow is checking the API through browser. The list of headers is long, but predetermined. I vibecoded an extension that lets you pick the header and allows me to work with my regular workflow, rather than Postman or cURL or whatever. A little buggy UI, but good enough. The whole team uses it

I'm not a frontend developer and either of these would take me a lot of time to do by hand

Nvidia might have wanted more exclusivity/attachment. And OpenAI still seems to have no problem raising money. So maybe there was just a commitment mismatch

Pure speculation though

CC is, imo, the best. The rest are largely on pair with each other. The benefit of VSCode and Antigravity is that they have the most generous limits. I ran through Cursor $20 limits in 3 days, where same tier VSCode subscription can last me 2+ weeks

Nowadays I'm happy to pay, but that wasn't always the case. And I personally think that having an ad tier and fee tier is fine. Serves everyone

> In a science fiction story, if you invented a superintelligent robot and asked it how to make money, it might come up with cool never-before-seen ideas, or at least massive fun market manipulation. But in real life, if you train a large language model on the internet and ask it how to make money, it will say “advertising, affiliate shopping links and porn.” That’s the lesson the internet teaches!

But I think it makes a lot of sense for very popular consumer products. In my honest opinion, I much prefer having services like Google, Youtube, Gmail, Maps, ChatGPT etc exist for free, but with ads, rather than not exist at all. Preferably with an option to pay and remove ads

Nowadays I'm happy to pay for Youtube premium or LLM, but back during my student days I could not really afford it - and I'm glad there was a free tier (with ads)

Google and Apple together will posttrain Gemini to Apple's specification. Google has the know-how as well as infra and will happily do this (for free ish) to continue the mutually beneficial relationship - as well as lock out competitors that asked for more money (Anthropic)

Once this goes live, provided Siri improves meaningfully, it is quite an expensive experiment to then switch to a different provider.

For any single user, the switching costs to a different LLM are next to nothing. But at Apple's scale they need to be extremely careful and confident that the switch is an actual improvement

Studio Ghibli, Sora app. Go viral, juice numbers then turn the knobs down on copyrighted material. Atlas I believe was a less successful than they would've hoped for.

And because of too frequent version bumps that are sometimes released as an answer to Google's launch, rather than a meaningful improvement - I believe they're also having harder time going viral that way

Overall OpenAI throws stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Most of it doesn't and gets (semi) abandoned. But some of it does and it makes for better consumer product than Gemini

It seems to have worked well so far, though I'm sceptical it will be enough for long

I'm trying to create a comprehensive list of English standup specials. Seems like a good fit! I've tried numerous times to prompt it "provide a comprehensive list of English standup specials released between 2000 and 2005. The output needs to be a csv of verified specials with the author, release date and special name. I do not want any other lecture or anything else. Providing anything except the csv is considered a failure". Then it creates it's own plan and I go further clarifying to explicitly make sure I don't want lectures...

It goes on to hallucinate a bunch of specials and provide a lecture on "2000 the era of X on standup comedy" (for each year)

I've tried this in 2.5 and 3. Numerous time ranges and prompts. Same result. It gets the famous specials right (usually), hallucinates some info on less famous ones (or makes them up completely) and misses anything more obscure

I'm sure llm providers will also figure it out in due time. Consumer products are generally a good fit for ads, even if it takes time to reach full potential

I can only assume the Aluminium OS would aim to do the same

Then I assume they'll roll it out further

For better or worse, I do own Pixel 10

* 1,500 RPD (free), then $35 / 1,000 grounded prompts

to

* 1,500 RPD (free), then (Coming soon) $14 / 1,000 search queries

It looks like the pricing changed from per-prompt (previous models) to per-search (Gemini 3)

However, Gemini CLI is a rather bad product. There is (was?) an issue that makes the CLI fall back to flash very soon in every session. This comment explains it well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45681063

I haven't used it in a while, except for really minor things, so I can't tell if this is resolved or not

I also tried to use Gemini 3 in my Gemini CLI and it's not available yet (it's available to all Ultra, but not all Pro subscribers), I needed to sign up to a waitlist

All in all, Google is terrible at launching things like that in a concise and understandable way

I can't find the announcement anymore, but you can see it under benefits here https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/14534406?hl=en

The initial separate subscriptions were confusing at best. Current situation is pretty much same as Anthropic/OpenAI - straightforward

Edit: changed ~1 month ago (https://old.reddit.com/r/Bard/comments/1npiv2o/google_ai_pro...)

ena ptica (one bird), dve ptici (two birds), tri ptice (three birds)

As well as 6 grammatical cases and 3 genders. And a number of special cases

I think the queries will fall into profitable (product recommendations) and non profitable (writing an essay or code) just the way they do for Google. Probably former will have a generous free tier and latter will be largely paywalled. I don't know how they'll do that, but I imagine they'll find some way

It's a mass consumer (software) product and they need new revenue venues and ads have a history of working well. Even Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, ... Companies that historically don't have the ad infrastructure of Google or Facebook have increasingly profitable ad tiers

I don't see the mentions in this post as anyone particularly believing we're close to AGI

They are not the best poker players in the world. Best poker players have the misfortune of not being invited to "fun" millionaire games

If you have enough of an edge, the variance is really not that big. The only reason to have high-tech cheating when you already have a table full of fish - is if the people running the scheme are not very good at poker
