I think you have your pricing wrong there, Gemini 3.5 flash is $1.50 input and $9 output.

Great article, never realized just how adhoc the source map 'standard' was!

Traveling around India I ate some food at a train station before boarding an overnight train and became extremely sick. I arrived early into Bikaner and as I started wandering around I became more and more delirious, to the point that I don't have clear memories of what happened after for a day or so. A (not well off) family however found me, brought me to their home, put me up in a rooftop sort of room, called a doctor, and then fed and took care of me for the next few days. They refused to accept any payment except for the rehydration packets they'd bought. I am forever grateful to them and I think of it and try to pay it forward whenever I can.

It is truly amazing how far Proton/Steam OS has come along. I recently installed it on some old AMD hardware I had lying around, hooked it up to my TV and everything just works - zero problems. I look forward to checking out this Steam Machine!

I installed steam os this week on some old hardware I had lying around (all AMD) everything runs perfectly, zero fiddling around. All my games run fine - admittedly I'm not playing any of the latest and greatest aaa titles but baldurs gate 3 and the latest katamari game run great.

I really appreciate the grinding puns in this comment.

My kid plays a lot of tennis, since the age of about six or so. He enjoys it, does group practices twice a week, one private lesson and then a tournament every so often. He is age 12, but we see the commitment it takes to get to the next level and it is crazy, six days a week of practice, tournaments most weekends, travel etc. Some kids we meet truly have the drive/love of the sport and really want to do it. I'm quite happy my kid does not because the parental commitment is also intense!

My wife is a surgeon and sees these situations constantly, a patient whose family has asked that everything be done for them. They spent months in the ICU hooked up to machines, incredibly uncomfortable and often, if they are aware, extremely depressed. And then they die. This is traumatic for everyone involved.

She (and I) would never go through this by choice. I can't stress that enough. This is not about money, this is about leaving life in the best possible way, on your own terms, with your family and as comfortable as possible.
