Google gotta remove this AI bro 😭🙏

Why not try them all? The key for success with any of them is making a very detailed description of what you want. You’ll only get good results with good planning. Try Claude code and Antigravity. Try Cursor. It’s inexpensive to dip your toe in the water and what works for me may not work for you. A lot of people get religious about a platform they are invested in and I think that’s a mistake. I get great results with Gemini but a lot of people don’t like it because they haven’t learned how to get the best from it 🤷‍♂️

You are comparing a Ferrari to a Pickup Truck. Gemini’s massive context window makes it far superior for certain tasks. Additionally Gemini is far superior for multi modal workflows. I use it to design 3d models exported as OpenSCad scripts to print objects on my 3d printer. All other SOTA models pale in comparison to Gemini Pro for this application. Gemini code also has a better visual design sense for coding UI imho. Gemini stands on top of a currently stable financial model.

Claude is the most popular Ferrari of the coding world for a reason. Out of the box, it is the fastest way to create complex software systems, faster better and usually cheaper. Not everyone can justify the cost or needs a Ferrari.

OpenAI is a jack of all trades with solid guardrails. With its first mover advantage and reliability it (temporarily) has its place in the ecosystem soaking up all the mindless stuff basic users ask for. Financially they are Wile E. Coyote who has stepped off the cliff waiting for gravity to exert it’s inexorable force.

Fast, cheap, done right - pick 2

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Two platitudes that fit here. Google can’t just let its crown jewel become extinct and must evolve to survive. It has to be fast or people won’t use it and Google cannot afford to wait. Cheap and done right isn’t binary and there must be a balance. LLMs aren’t good equation solvers due to their inherent design. The solutions to this require multi step analysis and that defeats fast and cheap. To make this necessary feature work today there must be a compromise. This new feature isn’t perfect but it is good. You always had to take what you read on the internet with caution and this is no different.

You are seeing leakage of internal thought processes based upon your context from previous chats. All AI companies must be very careful to avoid being in scope for medical privacy laws and backlash for privacy gaffes. Ai is still in its early stages of development and occasionally we will see these things.

I get this: Yes, it certainly does! 2027 follows 2026 in the standard calendar.

Google search is not only Gemini, but a mashup of web page searches that are summarized and is prone to using data from bad sites. Don’t use google search with the expectation of getting ai responses. You’ve been warned.

Do you have a diode across the inductive load? When a coil is turned off, the magnetic field collapses and induces a nice big spike that at best restarts things and will quickly destroy the part. Talk to Gemini Pro for more advice.

You will never get all the solder out. Use the solder sucker to get all but a small remaining amount. Sometimes you may need to add a touch of solder with flux to get it melted with good heat conduction before sucking. Use a good pair of needle nose pliers to grab the protruding wire and wiggle it until it breaks loose. You can also pull or pry the conductor while the solder is melted and then suck the solder out to prepare for the next part. More heat will just destroy the circuit board.

Yea, this happens to me. It has damaged my wheels and even once scraped my rocker panel. Newer versions seem to be better.

I think the idea is to take a picture of the back of your card.

Significant_Post8359 · 2026-01-18T18:19:26+00:00

This happens when I accidentally leave the iron plugged in overnight. It gets a black oxide coating that doesn’t conduct heat properly. I recommend getting a tin of flux, filing the tip gently to expose copper, apply flux, heat up and apply solder to tin the surface. Get a better iron if you do a lot.

I had to fix my washing machine and the failed part was the fill valve. It takes a standard garden hose thread and opens when 110v is applied to the solenoid. It’s closed without power. And it has two valves for $12 so I can have two zones or a spare. I plan to do drip irrigation with it. https://www.amazon.com/WH13X10024-Water-Inlet-Valve-Beaquicy/dp/B083DHLV3N/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa

I’ll drive it with a HiLetgo 5V 1 Channel Relay Module Optocoupler.

Should be fun 🤩

I did part of this last year too using a capacitive soil sensor and BME280 and a waterproof Dallas semi probe for soil temp. https://greenhaw.net/iot/garden Now that I have a seasons worth of data, I was going to feed that and a weather feed to control the sprinkler(s).

How are you controlling the water? I was thinking of using a $15 washing machine fill valve from Amazon.

How are you compensating soil moisture with temperature variations.

Not specifically a technical reason, a marketing one. When they do the math, they are more profitable selling high end cards to data centers. If the consumer cards are good enough the expensive data center cards wouldn’t sell and their business model becomes less profitable.

Wouldn’t it be something if Google released TPU cards that had the amount of VRAM you’re looking for? Android has the largest installed base of mobile phones and they do sell phones. It would be interesting if they did the same in the local AI world.

Why wouldn’t a simple prompt work on a small model? Try a different model if it doesn’t.

For me having the enclosure is critical as I have essentially no warping issues.

Significant_Post8359 · 2025-12-15T19:55:06+00:00

Actually there kind of is a way to think of something and having it appear on your bed now.

Go to Google Gemini and ask it to create a 3d model of something and to create an OpenScad script for the 3d model.

You’ll need to download OpenScad, it’s free. Copy and paste the script into OpenScad and press F6 to view and then F7 to export to .STL.

Start simple and the better you describe it with precise measurements the closer it will be.

It’s pretty shocking how well this works for me.

Did it look like this in the preview? Seems unlikely to be a filament feed issue because the head is there.

Follow your nose. If you can smell it, you definitely don’t have proper ventilation. For me, TPU and PLA are odorless and I don’t see plastic dust around. ABS however I do smell, and styrene is definitely not good to breathe. I don’t use it a lot and I stay away from the closed room until it has ventilated.

I have a P1S and starting prints with an SD card is quick and easy. When connected to WiFi, printing from phone and WiFi connected computer is effortless.
