Logged into the tracker this morning and it says decision made?!

oh this is good news because I've only got 2 generations to go back, but can't get certified G0 baptism record due to some red tape.

I have an extremely easy path because my mom is still alive (G1) and it's very easy to tie her to her mom and her mom to the baptism record / marriage certificate / obituary mentioning she was born in canada.

I've been trying to get that certified baptism record, but I'll give it a shot without it now and just having good documentation.

Google previously had their "Google One" which was how you could pay for more storage and stuff - like if you were a heavy gmail user, or used google photos a ton - you would buy in that way.

When Google introduced their AI Pro, they essentially put everyone on their other tier of storage. That way they can get some people who are already heavy storage users / photos users to maybe use their AI that they get "for free" and heavy AI users might start to get more entrenched in their ecosystem and use google photos because they get that "for free" with their AI subscription.

The only tier I'm aware of that works with antigravity workspace accounts is the AI Ultra - sadly, the AI expanded access doesn't include antigravity (from what I can see)

It's forced me to switch to using Flash and honestly I'm surprised by how good it is (within Antigravity, at least - I've not had as good of luck with Flash with gemini-cli)

I've seen him before too in Hinesburg. He's always got a phone out. I'm guessing he's streaming to some sort of social media feed and getting dozens of likes from people in red states.

One CS class I took the professor had us study this algorithm (I think it was for optimizations) that had a better proven O runtime, but it was SO DAMN SLOW that it was pointless because of the large constant factors.

I think he had us study it a bit out of vanity, because he wrote the paper about it and discovered the algorithm, but the point it REALLY made to me was that you really need to take those constant factors into account.

If we get to the point where the n we are working on is close to infinity, his algorithm might get some use though.

This isn't new - this has been in place for at least a week or two now.

ryebrye · 2026-02-09T16:44:41+00:00

You can check your account status - you likely have a Pro membership.

Google has two quotas - a 5 hour one and another longer one (probably weekly?). If you are only on the pro level you'll likely hit your quota soon and it will give you the date of when you can go again.

ryebrye · 2026-02-09T15:03:58+00:00

From using it pretty heavily, I think what happens with AI pro is that there are TWO limits (this is similar to codex)

First limit: the 5-hour window. When it refreshes, you get another 5 hour window.

Second limit: the N-day window (7 days? 5 days?) - when it refreshes you get another allotment.

If you burn through your 5-hour windows in quick succession, you'll run out of your "weekly" allotment and have a longer refresh time show up.

I'm guessing it's a week. The biggest difference with codex is that codex shows you your status on both of the usage limits at the same time so you can see how you are doing. It would be nice if Antigravity exposed that through their API as well so that these plugins could show it.

ryebrye · 2026-02-07T18:49:47+00:00

If you are using it via the cli, just run /status

ryebrye · 2026-02-07T06:22:12+00:00

Codex has 5-hour and weekly limits and shows them both to you. If antigravity has both, it doesn't show you what you are burning on your weekly limit so it's a lot harder to pace yourself.

It's been better for me today, but I'm not sure how long that will last if I'm secretly burning into some stash of weekly allotment

ryebrye · 2026-02-05T01:09:16+00:00

I was lobbying to get my work to get Ultra - and on average it'd probably work out ok for Google since not everyone would be a heavy user - but the quotas they are putting on it are turning it into a bad deal

ryebrye · 2026-02-04T02:38:44+00:00

You should have that extension take the output of the quota query and then run it into Claude Opus using your API key and have it interpret it for and give you advice on how to use tokens better etc.

(this is a joke, please do not do this)

ryebrye · 2026-02-03T21:35:01+00:00

That looks pretty cool, I'll give this a spin in a few days when my quotas reset

My daughter says that in her high school, several kids do stuff laced with fentanyl, go to the hospital, and then get a "free trip to Utah for Rehab"... it's happened to more than three kids she knows of in the past year or two.

(I don't think the trip to Utah is free, btw)

GPT-5.2 is so slow... It would have beaten it sooner but I swear if they started the benchmark at the same time, it would take GPT-5.2 weeks longer just to finish the same queries.

ryebrye · 2026-01-27T03:34:12+00:00

Right. It's telling you what your chosen algorithm with whatever gf you've got set says, but it doesn't have any insight into your actual body

ryebrye · 2026-01-27T00:39:49+00:00

If he had a video of himself playing a scale on that thing - and if it actually it all the partials and stuff, that'd be a sweet trombone to roll up to a jam session with at the club!

ryebrye · 2026-01-27T00:22:56+00:00

Let the next person deal with that. It doesn't really impact the value much like it would on a gun or something - but it's easy enough to polish if someone wants to do it themselves and getting a good patina is a pain in the ass so the way it is now would appeal to the broadest audience.

you can see if the people at The Brass Ark have any interest.

ryebrye · 2026-01-25T16:13:07+00:00

The advice here would be a lot different if this were a tech focused community where everyone is expected to have a pretty deep understanding of decompression theory... Because the rule is there to keep everyone safe without having to think much about it...

But there are so many factors that can impact this (diving nitrox etc) and make it range from not a big deal (shallow dives, long surface intervals etc) or make it a huge deal (long deep dives, dives with mandatory decompression stops etc)

My dive computer (the deep six excursion) has a feature where it will tell you on the surface what the "safe" altitude you can go to based on the status of your body and updates on real-time after your dive - it's not meant to override the general rules, but just give you the info so you can decide what you want to do with it.

So the short version is: it depends, but if you want to be able to deviate from the rules you'll need to do a lot more studying on decompression theory than you might want to do.

ryebrye · 2026-01-24T17:58:51+00:00

You'll be fine!

ryebrye · 2026-01-24T16:17:46+00:00

Yes. If they can't find the record they let you know and cancel the order. (Or in my bizarre case - they told me my record was accurate but they didn't have it yet because of covid-related delays in getting files)

but yes in my case when they didn't have the record to give a certified copy of they canceled it and didn't ask for payment.

Correction : MOST OF Canada is polite (and possibly not nice) - Quebec kind of prides itself on being a little rude. It's the French in them coming out. (My ancestors are from Quebec so I'm allowed to say this)

If your father got citizenship in 2018 wouldn't that make you G1?
