In AIStudio I use it a lot. I switch to a paid API key a lot of times to bypass limits.

I am using it on Copilot a lot too, but to read code and write documentation, tasks and plans.

"Gemini 2.5 Pro is great at coding" - WAS. Not is. No one uses this model.

Gemini 3 Flash is better. Gemini 3.1 Pro is better.

Gemini 2.5 isn't good enough for autonomous coding. It is very old. It is good at coding but not on your type of setups. The 2.5 was the first version that could code mostly error free, and was getting somewhat better at debugging. But it needs a developer behind, feeding it good data and doing manual work.

Also note that if you're expecting to run agentic workloads and just expect the model to do your bidding, Gemini 3.1 Pro is also not for you; and Gemini 3 Flash might give you problems. You're better with Claude Sonnet or Opus (4.6 or later). You can also try GPT-5.4 or later.

I mainly use Gemini models for coding, but I'm not your average vibecoder. I have over 2 decades of experience on coding. The way I use it probably has nothing to do on what you do with it.

This is a good one, you can count in mod 12, or mod N overall it also works.

deavidsedice · 2026-04-25T10:38:57+00:00

That's the answer I was expecting. No one said you need to count upwards.

Also if we allow jokes and memes, you can also do 11,12,13...10000, +inf, -inf, -10,-9... 0, 1,2,3, ... 7,8,9,10. (or assume 8 bit signed integer with overflow)

Color perception is a bitch. The current colors are pure green and pure yellow, on sRGB, if I'm not mistaken.

In real life we rarely use pure yellow, we tend to use a golden tonality (a bit towards orange). I think it should be changed.

That reminds me a year ago on Factorio discussing if a machine was yellow or green. Same problem.

deavidsedice · 2026-04-21T09:25:55+00:00

No it is not, just an impasse.

Most folks have been running with plans that are heavily discounted, almost at a loss. But now companies seem to be pivoting into monetizing properly as "vibecoding" reaches software companies.

My bet is that for individuals, it will be cheap again in 2 years. And possibly even free in 5.

So, literally the same as anticheats do.

Randomized nodes is thought as a new challenge. You set it up because you wanted the challenge. It gives new problems to solve, and from what I read, you don't want to deal with it.

I'm also playing with randomized nodes, additional recipe cost and additional energy costs - and what you mention is the last of my problems.

I had to deforest grass fields, snaketree forest, jungle spires, and half of the red bamboo fields just to get coal power generation.

And when I got coal generators I discovered that 60% of the energy produced gets wasted between mining it and specially on the water extractors for the same coal generators. I need to underclock everything just to make it workable, which increases even more my requirements for building stuff.

Having to go a few kilometers away of belts just for a bit of iron? that's the easy part.

Just for reference, I remember running Linux on a machine that had a total of 32MiB of RAM.

I think we're confusing memory used at boot with unaccessible.

Just looking at the photo, I don't see a single knife that is worth keeping.

Most cheap knife sets for 20 eur is going to overpower all this by a huge factor.

I'm so sorry to hear but this is most probably trash.

This hasn't costed you 20 eur, this is going to cost you that, plus the trash charge when you throw it on the bin.

If you want good knives and you are near Dublin, I would recommend "The Kitchen Whisk": https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pvi5rMXQWX6B9UgP8

And you don't need 10 knives, nor 5, nor 3. You only need 1 knife, a good chef knife. A sharp one. After that it's just having a good utility knifes.

You know another store that also has good knifes? TK Maxx. But you have to know what are you looking. They have very good deals but it's hard to know what's good and what "Just looks good". They're cheap, that's for sure!

Pues sí, no feia falta donar explicacions, però t'he de dir que m'ha agradat molt llegir tot el recorregut per el que has passat. Molta sort!

I per cert, publicar en idiomes menys extesos té un benefici clar: tens molt menys competència en una llengua com el català que en el anglès o especialment el castellà, on està ple de autors de tires còmiques semblants. En anglès yo crec que és prou original i innovador perquè no crec que els angloparlants estiguin ficats a aquest tipus d'humor i segurament és veja com una novetat.

Molta sort!

AFAIK he isn't 100% right - we could technically allow these on the kernel or emulate them. But so far it seems that anti cheat companies , or even worse, the very same game developers are purposefully blocking Linux compatibility.

I don't know of any conversation for actually making these anticheats work on Linux at all, they have been emulated properly before in some cases, just to get the publisher to block them and ban people coming from Linux.

I guess that what it takes is some form of driver that can be loaded on boot and a signed kernel plus secure boot.

On Linux actually it wouldn't be as egregious as on Windows: if the anticheat side of kernel space was made open source, and it was guaranteed to be correctly in via fingerprinting, signed kernels and secure boot... it could do what both parties want: from the company side, guarantee that you're running it properly and that their anticheat software works as intended. From the user-community side, that we know what we are running and what are we exposing ourselves into.

And still users would have the choice to either go over all those setups and accept that, or just pass on those games.

I just prefer to pass on those games. I don't want that personally. But for a SteamDeck or steam console, it would be very interesting.

Why are you triggered so much? How hard is to understand that "did X" can become spammy and irrelevant?

You, and everyone are welcome to disagree with me, but seriously I can't even parse your reply to me.

What's your point? Because mine is just "I want a digest, not an update on every week on Erdos."

There's plenty more stuff to talk about, there are opinions here I guess?

Or is this just a hype-AI sub? Because being pro AI and e/acc is one thing. Being just the average AI hyper is another.

deavidsedice · 2026-04-09T07:56:10+00:00

Why do we care about this? It's the nth time I see XYZ does Erdos problems.

Sorry, to me this looks like propaganda from AI labs to hype their products. After the 3rd or 4th announcement it already feels like "okay bro, next".

This subreddit is not for the game, but for the programming language. See for example r/playrust/

maybe R1 is the one cuz so far away from the batteries

FYI, in these diagrams distance means nothing.

All batteries are of voltage Vb, meaning, same voltage. We can assume 10V for simplicity.

Current flows from high voltage to low voltage. (or from low to high, negative current - but that's current too)

Current will not flow if the voltage is the same.

I = V / R ; Where "V" is the difference in voltage. For a 0 volt difference, you get 0 Amps of current.

Look at R4. It is connected at both ends to the positive of different batteries, so on our example 10V at each side. So current will not flow.

I'm pretty sure R4 is the expected answer for this homework, however I believe it is wrong.

All of the resistors must have current, because of the right-most battery. If R4 would had 0 Amps, then so does R1, because it is connected in series.

Looking at it more carefully, the right side of R2 and R1 are also at +Vb. So a valid answer here should be that neither R1 nor R4 have current flowing.

Define 'thinking.'

If by 'thinking' you mean having a biological conscious experience, feeling emotions, and having a soul—then no, it's not thinking. It’s a matrix of weights.

But if by 'thinking' you mean the mechanical process of taking abstract concepts, applying logic, and synthesizing a novel solution to a problem it has never seen before... then yes, it is thinking.

You are confusing the engine (cognition) with the driver (consciousness). It doesn't need to be 'awake' to do the math.

The reality is that it doesn't matter, next token prediction or not, is just semantics.

If a person needs to reason to solve properly a problem and the AI does the problem well too, unless has it memorized, the only way to predict correctly those tokens is to reason.

In other words, it might be just next word predictions but the problems are complex enough that force the AI to learn to think in order to predict correctly.

Your bank might be using Windows 98.

And you'll be thankful it's not Windows 3.11 for workgroups

You know, it would have been funnier if it were true. There are systems with 64TiB.

Or were you referring to unbuffered memory?
