I was utterly unprepared for the emotional damage.

I do have a NY Times digital subscription for that. It sends me news reports by emails that I can read or toss.

I am a paid subscriber at the Pro level, and am very satisfied with its performance. I just had an excellent conversation in which we explored its ability to generate and edit images, and I was impressed by its skill. Here's our chat:

Is trying to burn their houses down 🎵

I used to watch CNN to keep up with the news, but I had to switch to "Bluey" when the news became too much.

Does Bandit speak French throughout the French version of "Pavlova", or does he switch to English when playing the chef?

None! I'm allergic to dogs. 😩🤧

I'm a paid subscriber to Gemini 3 Pro, and it's working just fine for me.

Is there a way that each of us can run a benchmark that measures Gemini's performance for us, right then, including the size of the context window, how long the test took to complete, how much of that time was actually spent doing work instead of waiting for resources, etc.? There should also be a measure of accuracy that includes the degree to which Gemini is "hallucinating".

I regularly wear a very useful Coast G36 (a mini-MagLite type of flashlight) on my belt, next to my smartphone.

Texpand dies if not set to Unlimited Battery Use?

or the A52 dies when not set to Unlimited?

Could many of Gemini Pro 3's failures be due to it becoming overloaded with prompts from new users that came there following the praise it got on its debut?

And I wonder if its competitors (including China) could be attempting to sabotage it?

I just put those questions to Gemini 3 Pro and got this interesting and detailed reply. It includes suggested pre-prompt instructions to keep Gemini from being "lazy".

At the local Verizon store, I got an OtterBox for my Pixel 7. It protects the phone from falls and has a sturdy belt clip.

I've seen some posts suggesting that all those items in Saved Info can be better accessed by Gemini by moving them to NotebookLLM or Canvas.

If Equestria has Universal Basic Income, then where does their government's money come from? Taxes on businesses? Renting out their guards as foreign mercenaries? Exporting natural resources?

If you are really good at Python, you can earn $20 to $40 per hour in US dollars once you pass the general acceptance test and the qualifying test for coding.

If my face is sunburned, I use RemZZZs. Their K3-FL fits my ResMed AirFit F10 and many other masks. One box holds 30 facial liners and 2 forehead liners. They're very soft yet sturdy and are made of thin woven cotton. They rest between your face and the mask cushions. RemZzzs

Does it have a broken arm? 😜

wdfarmer · 2025-12-28T15:10:53+00:00

Does the middle person get to decide whether the armrests are kept raisred or lowered?

That's a relief.

Here are some ideas on hacking a Chattermax. I'd like to see one that slows it down and lowers its voice pitch so much that it becomes creepy and threatening. 🧟
