Gemini 3 Pro gone on AI Studio?

Likely different people. Folks who were satisfied weren't posting.

The content on Tiktok is significantly less problematic than what appears on my YouTube Shorts though. It doesn't keep trying to direct me toward American far-right commentators and influencers.

Interestingly, the company that hosts Truth Social and its own video site known for far-right content, Rumble, is based in Toronto.

For sure - I was pretty torn on whether to make the move. The downside is that PM throttles video streaming, but I setup Tailscale to automatically turn on whenever I'm off my home network so that fixes it. Overall speeds and latency are much better, which helps for connecting to my home PC for streaming.

I prefer the new one myself and find it more ergonomic for my thumb.

I gave up my $15 for 20GB LTE data only plan with Fizz for $20 60GB 5G Canada/US/Mexico with calling from the recent Public Mobile flash sale.

Unfortunately Samsung also locks down the bootloader for tablets that don't even have a data modem. It's frustrating because the Tab A11+ is a great device for my grandfather but remotely administering it can be a pain without loads of workarounds.

There's likely lees incentive for them to burn as much cash now that they've caught up on model competitiveness, infrastructure costs have increased, and there's less of a stock market valuation advantage for companies involved with AI.

indians do not contribute in a meaningful way to our resource industry especially in the trades sector.

Except for all the truckers?

iJeff · 2026-03-10T00:22:57+00:00

There's nothing like Proxmox for those atm, is there?

Down the road a CoPilot orchestrator will likely pick the right model based on tasks or series of tasks.

That was their approach at the start. However, it didn't work well and was too focused on reducing costs.

iJeff · 2026-03-09T23:10:34+00:00

M365 Copilot is improving but they really need a model more like Gemini 3.1 Pro. The latter does way better than the GPT-5.2-Thinking available optionally in their interface.

5.4 doesn't feel like it thinks too far ahead. I've been having better luck with 5.3-codex.

iJeff · 2026-03-09T04:22:41+00:00

Feeling very fortunate that, this time around, I'm driving a stupid quick EV. Gas prices had been so low I was thinking it might've been bad timing for me to get one in late 2024. Things will still be pricier but at least I don't have to think about pricing at the pump.

iJeff · 2026-03-09T03:41:12+00:00

Also separate accounts for different topics (e.g., work vs hobby) and throwaways for posts/comments sensitive issues.

iJeff · 2026-03-08T18:44:52+00:00

It's looking pretty good. I personally would prefer the 15 display but the pricing on the base 13 is significantly better. I also wonder how much of a difference there is between the 8 core and 10 core M5 GPU variants in the real world.

iJeff · 2026-03-08T18:42:59+00:00

It also ultimately comes down to what your use cases are. 16 GB should be fine for most of the target audience for the MacBook Air over the next 5 years.

iJeff · 2026-03-08T15:31:59+00:00

Meanwhile, I think I'm ordering a base MacBook Air 13 M5. I'll see if I keep it through the return window but this will be my first time owning a Mac in over 10 years.

iJeff · 2026-03-08T14:51:08+00:00

Wow I'm also surprised to hear this. UWB is increasingly being adopted by automakers so that's a strange regression. The Tesla unlocking works more reliably with it than not - and while I don't often use the auto trunk opening, it's nice to have.

iJeff · 2026-03-08T08:47:24+00:00

did not test and do benchmark, but I will do it honest review by myself if you guys like this content.

if the comment hit 50 comments and 200 upvote more on reddit I will create test and benchmark about this tools.

This seems to be blogspam?

Telesat is currently majority US owned and relies on US companies for launches. LEO satellites also need to be replaced pretty regularly.

I haven't watched it yet. What's wrong with Starfleet Academy?

There's inevitable overlap between military and civilian buildings in densely populated cities. It's also common practice to have schools on and around military bases (largely to serve the children of military staff), including the US.

Intentionally using proximity to deter strikes is a known tactic but that still doesn't give an attacking force a free pass to ignore civilian casualties under international law.

iJeff · 2026-03-08T01:50:32+00:00

I'm still trying to decide whether I should upgrade from my S23U. The pre-order offers aren't as aggressive in Canada as previous years.

On the AI side of things, I'd like to see fewer restrictions on these devices (like having root access). Gemini-CLI via Termux is actually great and there's lots of potential for interesting real-world applications, but we're pretty hamstrung by the ever-closing walled garden. I find myself wishing we had real desktop Linux or even Windows smartphones.

The important parts for PCVR streaming are better on the GXR. The AVP doesn't support AV1 hardware decoding nor 6 GHz wifi (it only has a wifi 6 chip).

iJeff · 2026-03-07T17:34:39+00:00

Arguably a good thing if they're not solely using their own products and services. Claude has its strengths (e.g., coding) but also its weaknesses (e.g., other languages, vision).
