I tried it for a couple of hours this morning and yeah, it's a bit slow, and I needed it in peak hours so it also often can't reach the server so that makes it even slower. And I'm not even sure it's just the model, it could very much be the harness. Stalled for 40 minutes on trivial tool calls like `find`, two times...
It shows potential, answer/code quality was solid, but I would need more time with it.
> I don't think you meant you merely wanted the performative sound of "I take full responsibility for this situation" to come out of his mouth. Without actions, the words mean nothing.
100% agree, and that's precisely the critique towards Mark as those words presumably came out of his mouth.
> So, what would be the actions you were looking for here?
Claw back his executive compensation, forfeit bonuses for the fiscal year and use that to fund better severance / transition support? There's smarter people than me who can answer this, I am merely pointing out and ridiculing this fake accountability and moral theater.
The missing bit is where you say "I take full responsibility for this situation", to the cleaners who's lives are impacted by this significantly more than yours.
> Would you fire yourself from the house?
You keep pushing this false framing/binary for some reason. You made a bad call, you lost the money, that's a given (a passive if you will). Where's the active "taking responsibility" part? That's the main critique.
> Gemini leverages native video understanding for direct analysis, while Local models reconstruct understanding from individual frame descriptions - resulting in dramatically different processing complexity.
For people like me who haven't dabbled much with AI video processing and have no intuition for it, could you clarify the drawbacks of such a local-only approach vs what Gemini offers? I don't mean the performance or power/battery impact (that part is clear), just in terms of end-result and quality what the practical differences are.
I'm in the only-100%-offline camp here but would like to know what I'm missing out on since I won't even try Gemini here.
> In fact, governments often use the EU to park politicians who’ve lost their shine at home
For whatever it's worth, as an European, I will emphasize this as one of the most frustrating facts and the largest barrier to me having any serious form of respect for the EU. I have no doubt there's honest and good people there, but in my country it's well known that fuckups just get to "retire" and get out of the spotlight by shifting to EU positions. Not only does this devalue the EU, but also the original country itself, since politicians have less fear of career-ending consequences. It's a lose-lose situation for the collective.
I can only hope that experiences in my country do not reflect Europe as a whole.
