I had the opposite experience when Gemini 3.1 first came out. It didn't show up as a model option in my fully updated Gemini CLI, and I subsequently figured out I had to install this Cursor-lookalike thing called Antigravity to try it. I'd like to stick with my existing editors, thanks.
On a related note, the AUR package previously named antigravity has been renamed antigravity-ide[1] after some lively discussion, and the new thing lives at antigravity2-bin.[2]
I'd agree with sph about having one workspace per activity. I've never had a rigid workflow with lots of permanent named workspaces, but I have a workspace-naming script that lets me label my numbered workspaces after they've been set up.
Other things that help include a fuzzel-based open window searcher and, to be honest, restrained use of Niri's flagship scrolling feature. Most of my workspaces most of the time are the same size as my screen, with the scroll used very sparingly for usually temporary overflow.
I guess it also helps that I never used the i3 scratchpad so I don't miss it.
I switched to Niri at the end of last year after over a decade on i3.[1] Having horizontal scroll unbounded by my monitor size and workspace count unbound by the number of shortcut keys I have configured has been very freeing, and the graphical stuff is nice too.
My only remaining pain point is that its X compatibility layer, xwayland-satellite, does not yet support drag and drop between X and Wayland programs.[2]
>LLMs are not doing searches, they are doing statistical computation of likely results.
This was true of ChatGPT in 2022, but any modern platform that advertises a "deep research" feature provides its LLMs with tools to actually do a web search, pull the results it finds into context and cite them in the generated text.
In my last conversation with a Google support person, I was sent a clearly LLM-generated recommendation to switch to a competitor's product. Either they're not doing this, or the support person wasn't using Gemini.
ChatGPT's image generator has been able to do this since last year. That NBP still can't is baffling. They should at least train it to respond to requests for transparency with a solid colour pink background.
Interesting read! A lot of AoC challenges involve navigating 2D grids, which can map quite nicely onto the text adventure model of connected rooms with compass direction exits (a grid of straightforward little passages, all alike). This insight led me to attempt Day 6 from last year's Advent of Code in Inform 7[1], though I ultimately admitted defeat on the second half. I've always found Inform 7's Mathematics Textbook English syntax quite charming, though perhaps I would have a different perspective if I'd ever attempted to build anything substantial with it.
I used my Priv for five years, best phone I've ever had, barring some battery & heat issues. Showing people a normal-looking phone and then sliding out the keyboard was a fun party trick. If there were any modern phone like it I would buy it in a heartbeat.
