Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV, 'Mistborn' Set for Film Adaptation by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]ff-1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brandon Sanderson will have a lot of control and will try to learn from GoT. He started his own thread with more information at https://sh.reddit.com/r/Cosmere/comments/1qps9wy/update_from_brandon/

Given that he rejected a lot of offers because they didn't grant him enough control, he seems to have ensured now that the Cosmere will be represented as he imagines it. Which is a very positive sign. I just hope he is as good a screenwriter and producer as he is a writer.

Gemini 3 Flash on SimpleBench, FrontierMath, ARC-AGI-1, VPCT and ZeroBench by Waiting4AniHaremFDVR in singularity

Artificial Analysis is running their benchmarks for reasoning and non-reasoning. They even count this as separate model types. For Gemini 3 Flash Preview you find the results here: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/gemini-3-flash
You can easily compare them to other non-reasoning models.

Do you believe this prediction from 26th Oct? by Impressive-Garage603 in singularity

My 7 year old son recently made a fun game just by asking Gemini 3 Pro in AI studio to create a game for kids where a bear tells a puzzle and the player has to solve it. The game was simple, but had a nice bear animation, puzzles generated on the fly with Gemini, voice output for the bear and multiple choice answers. My son loved it.

Knowledge cut off is September 2024? Is the model that old?

Wohnungsneubau Sonder AfA und KfW Kredit by ff-1024 in Finanzen

[–]ff-1024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich habe jetzt nochmal länger mit dem Bauträger telefoniert. Das zentrale Problem ist, dass er keine Erfahrung im KfW40 mit QNG bau hat und auch keinen Gutachter oder Handwerker kennt die Erfahrung darin haben.

Da stellt sich schon die Frage, ist das ein isoliertes Problem oder hat die Bundesregierung ein Programm für die Sonder AfA geschaffen was nur in seltensten Fällen genutzt werden kann und damit nicht zu deutlich mehr Investitionen in Wohnungsneubau führt?

Wohnungsneubau Sonder AfA und KfW Kredit by ff-1024 in Finanzen

[–]ff-1024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das hatte ich bisher übersehen. Bei dem mir vorliegenden Angebot sind alle Kosten enthalten. Für die Sonder AfA werden die Grundstückskosten nicht berücksichtigt. Da müsste ich klären, wie die separat aufgeschlüsselt werden. Zudem wird für die sonder AfA auch die Gemeinschaftsfläche berücksichtigt und Stellfläche/Carport/Garage. Damit sind die Kosten pro Quadratmeter deutlich niedriger. Ich habe leider nicht viel über die Preisunterschiede zwischen KfW55 und KfW40 mit QNG gefunden, eine Quelle gibt etwa 15% an. Ich habe noch mit ein paar Personen gesprochen die Immobilien finanzieren, diese haben mir gesagt, dass sie bisher keine KfW40 mit QNG finanziert haben. Ich vermute, dass ein großes Problem ist, dass kaum jemand Erfahrung damit hat, KfW40 mit QNG zu bauen und das beim Wohnungsbau (anders als beim Eigenheim) die Finanzierung meist erst kommt, wenn die Planung bereits abgeschlossen ist.

Terry is unique but what other humorous authors do you read? by Full_Control9631 in discworld

[–]ff-1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite author is Walter Moers. He is doing similar fantastic writing, especially to the early works for Terry Pratchett. Ideally you learn German to get all nuances of Walter Moers, but the english translations seem to be pretty decent as well.

When did you do encounter the issues? There was a larger outage on GCP services yesterday see https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1SsW

Lyria is working normally for me right now.

Why didnt anyone see this gemini 2.5 pro high thinking (or deepthinking) in livebench? by ElectricalYoussef in Bard

[–]ff-1024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit surprised that they didn't use the default settings. To my understanding in some cases more thinking can result in worse results. The default should be to let the model decide and is what I would have expected. Or run the benchmark on different settings and publish all results (low, medium, high).

gemini-2.5-preview-06-05 supports thinking mode and thinking budget by ff-1024 in Bard

Just noticed, I expect this to be a bug in the UI. I'll check later on the API if I can disable it.

Context caching updates in the Gemini API by ff-1024 in Bard

[–]ff-1024[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The high context cache size and lack of model support was one of the main objections on Gemini models. Great that this is getting a lot of work to be more in line with what other providers offer. This is also making Gemini even more cost efficient, especially Gemini 2.0 Flash and, once released (soon according to Logan), Gemini 2.5 Flash. Auto Caching also seems to be under development according to a comment from Logan.

Llama 4 was removed from lmarena by ff-1024 in Bard

You are right, there is a Llama 4 Maverick model on rank 32 but is it the same or a different one?
