<p>You can turn off thinking in Gemini pro models by using completion mode.<p>Essentially, append a message with role=model and minimal text part, such as a simple "A",  at the end of the "contents" array. The model will try to complete the message without using any thought tokens.<p>You can also set the model message to start with "think" or something along that line and watch it thinks out loud (or melts down with over-thinking and stop due to reaching maximum output token)<p>```

    {
        "parts": [{"text": "hello"}],
        "role": "user"
    },
    {
        "parts": [{"text": "*think"}],
        "role": "model"
    }
]
```</p>

<p>The common wisdom (this is back when I was still fiddling with an Elegoo Mars 2-3 years ago) was to print the model at an angle and elevated from build plate. There should always be rafts and supports under the model.</p>

<p>Kinda weird to start talking FOSS when the website itself never ever claimed to have anything to do with FOSS.<p>What does search engines indexability have to do with FOSS? There's no shortage of old school forums locked behind membership system, not indexable by any search engines.<p>Also Discord is an instant messaging software and not "web". It just happens to have a web frontend. It's OK to be nostalgic of the old web but not the old instant messaging softwares.</p>

<p>I'm using Vite for a small greenfield project. Perhaps it's the selection of packages I use, but setting up was rather painful.<p>Vite Vue + Typescript template run fine in dev mode but could not be built for production, thanks to a combination of an Vue issue and a tsconfig flag.<p>Node polyfills work on `yarn dev`, but throw "kn.nextTick is not a function" for production build. Apparently I have to use package `rollup-plugin-polyfill-node` instead of `rollup-plugin-node-polyfills`.<p>Now with all the setting up out of the way, it does feels good to have a dev server starting almost instantly, hot reload and full page reload stay constantly fast. Sometime though hot reload just fails and I had to manually reload the page, or manually remount the component I'm working on (by navigating back and forth) to see the changes.<p>It also feels like I'm not even using typescript but plain javascript. Vite would happily serve broken code and some errors will only be shown on `yarn build`. I lost a watch compiler essentially.</p>
