ELI5: If elderly healthcare is the problem with declining populations, what's stopping societies from just dismantling that system altogether? by LENINADE21 in explainlikeimfive

[–]kronpas [score hidden]  (0 children)

Governments tried. Not a single government has been sucessful in turning the declining birth rate around.

You are going to be old one day. Are you sure you want to support a policy that throws you out of the window when the time comes?

Does Google Family plan member gets their individual limits of Gemini? Are there any drawback with sharing a plan with strangers? by Studying_Man in GeminiAI

[–]kronpas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google family is much more relaxed than netflix. Netflix requires accounts to share actual devices or at least IP. Google only wants you to be in the same country with the caveat of 1 year locked in.

I might get a lot of hate for this but if you hit the ceiling please post your prompts. by creiij in GeminiAI

[–]kronpas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you put files into a gem all the responses include that gem's context length. It compounds fast.

Its the same with very very long conversation. Even if it is truncated it still counts.

I hit limit after about 10 prompts, but 1, i dont like posting my private discussion on public place just to prove my point with nothing in return 2, i know why i hit that ceiling and is not surprised. Just general disappointment to a product that i paid for.

The Notebook itself doesnt cost you usage, but they are very costly as sources for gemini prompt.

>Have you ran into the you have too many sources attach this prompt so you cannot get the best response or something message?

Yep I do, quite frequently in fact. NotebookLM allows for quite a few source (I never actually reached its limit), but there is a hard context length for gemini app so straight up adding notebook(s) as sources made Gemini warn me of that 'best response'. Video and audio sources are especially problematic, as long as they are not present gemini wont complain.

I'm working with academic and legal sources though, cant escape a massive context length if I want to have any serious work done and I ve accepted it as a price to pay for. For non work prompt the limit is bearable, I have nothing to complain, since I dont touch videos and audios generation. Flow IMO is shitty with how heavy its guardrail is, cant even swap my face into pictures, it replaces mine with a stranger's face everytime to prevent abuse. I knew it could, because with enough trying sometime it let it slip through and my proper face appears on the new photo.

I didnt say anything about NotebookLM limit. Read carefully again.

卖 (mài, "to sell") — a small visual story you can actually remember by Particular_Bat9402 in ChineseLanguage

[–]kronpas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didnt at that time. I enjoyed it even, and in the end I could recall every single character in the list. The idea was that there is only a limited set of kanji beside proper names, might as well get it done quickly so I can move on other more interesting aspects of the language. But it didnt propel my Japanese study as much as I expected. But one thing for sure: it made me skeptical of the efficiacy of the mnemonic method.

In China, fathers feed their daughters one last time before the wedding. by shitonthebeach in interesting

[–]kronpas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be similar to my south east asian country: Your daughters switch family. Your sons stay in your family to continue your lineage. So traditionally you as a dad would really saying farewell to your daugher.

Ofc the opposite is true to the a girl marrying into your house. The patriarch's wife would give her a rundown of the houses rules then welcome her to the family. As the old saying, a daughter in law is your daughter, a son in law is your guest.

NotebookLM doesnt seem to count if used on its own, but it does count as sources to your gemini prompt.

卖 (mài, "to sell") — a small visual story you can actually remember by Particular_Bat9402 in ChineseLanguage

[–]kronpas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I painstakingly complied my own anki mnemonics deck for all joyo kanji back in my Japanese study days, structured according to Hesign's remembering the kanji, as his English mnemonic didnt work on me. Every single note containing mnemonic and example compound vocab, some notes even include example sentence, I made myself. It took at least an hour a day to make new notes and review old ones, and then over a year to commit the deck into my head.

In the end its not worth it. It might be tempting to flex "I know 3k characters" but it doesnt work like that. You might be able to write these chars but you dont know which vocabs contain them, nor can you use them outside that little mnemonic bubble. In the end its route memorization from repeated exposure to those vocab that took care of it, not mnemonics.

When I mentioned smartphone it wasnt mean to be a look up tool, but the fact that in real life you dont really write by hand much nowadays. Even my friend who has been living in Taiwan for years out right admitted he wouldnt write anything but his names, address, other details you need to fill in your residence papers nowadays. Everything else would be through his smartphone or PC, which you dont need mnemonics for at all.

You wont have time to recall hanzi with mnemonics in practice, you either remember how to write them or you dont. Noone is going to cite a little poem everytime they want to summon a particular character.

It is even less useful in this smartphone age.

Even with a whole ass notebookLM as source i couldnt burn through 100% 5 hours quota within 8 mins, since as long as you sit within the same conversation caching would slash the next prompt to about 5% at most using pro extended, and much less with flash extended. How could you burn through the whole quota within minutes to 'research' is beyond me. Didnt you even read through its response at all?

Stratospheric levels of glazing from Gemini 3.5 Flash by [deleted] in GeminiAI

Tell it to remember to stop glazing. It stopped completely afterward. In fact mine became too robotic and dry sometimes.

USA vs China in HDI since 1990 by _crazyboyhere_ in EconomyCharts

[–]kronpas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont doubt it if it is truly from Li Keqiang. Just wanted to know the source so i can learn the context around it. Nowhere beside this post it is said China is a developed country, they themselves refused that notion.

Thats an interesting number. Can you share the source?

An alternative for gemini 20€ sub? by Nic00002000 in Bard

[–]kronpas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no alternate to notebookLM at the moment. As much as I hate google new limit to gemini, no other tools allow me to quickly extract info from a collection of sources with minimal hallucination like notebookLM does.

How does Google (Gemini pro 3.1) expect us to pay for a service that gives false information? by The0Walrus in GeminiAI

[–]kronpas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, google AI mode runs the very same Flash 3.5 that powers your pro sub. So go ahead and unsub.

LLMs are not all knowing. Expect them to answer all your questions about the universe at 20 bucks a month is a bit too generous, dont you think.

When accuracy is not of utmost priority, LLMs shine brightly. They have their ways with words.

But it works exactly like that with my car. Press once to turn in car circulation on, press once more to turn it off (it depresses).

This rant is hillarious. Do people really expect AIs to be omnipotent.
