“It’s a shame that @DarioAmodei is a liar and has a God-complex. He wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation’s safety at risk.
The @DeptofWar will ALWAYS adhere to the law but not bend to whims of any one for-profit tech company.”
My strange observation is that Gemini 2.5 Pro is maybe the best model overall for many use cases, but starting from the first chat. In other words, if it has all the context it needs and produces one output, it's excellent. The longer a chat goes, it gets worse very quickly. Which is strange because it has a much longer context window than other models. I have found a good way to use it is to drop the entire huge context of a while project (200k-ish tokens) into the chat window and ask one well formed question, then kill the chat.
I love the gemini models and think Google has done a great job on them, but no model series I use seems to get context rot more in long conversations. Which seems strange given the longer context.
I absolutely adored these books as a kid! Spend every dime of bookfair money on them every year and used to beg my parents to take me to the library to check out others.

Both my wife and I got the J&J shot before it was cancelled. We both had a period about 12 hours afterwards where we felt like we had a mild flu for about another 12 hours, then it was over and we’ve felt fine. Very happy with this decision.
Every good idea should have been done before it was done. Better late than never. At least testing has ramped up in the US considerably now.
As someone in the US, I wish we would implement a lot more in the way of domestic travel restrictions right now. If we’re not willing to do that, then who can blame other countries for restricting us?
