    Am I stupid? I run /corgi, nothing happens and I don't see a corgi. I have the latest version of the gemini CLI. Or is it just killedbygoogle.com

    I absolutely don't know enough to know how legit or ridiculous that idea is, but it's been stuck in my head ever since I read about it here, and it's been fun to mull over.

    I'm happy with Gemini, I just meant I want a native chatgpt-like service (unlike Siri)

    What do you like about the AI integration? I'm considering leaving iPhone just to have basically native chatGPT integration, assuming gemini works that way, and assuming it can rea…

    I've always wondered why all the big chains are closing stores, blaming shoplifting, to the point where Belltown no longer has a single pharmacy. But I haven't seen any of the smal…

    Yes, if you do a good job it removes a lot of mental overhead for building the feature or refactoring it later. Although if you do a bad job it might add a lot...

    I agree and even though I usually have a lot of complaints about Stephenson's later books, I just keep reading them for some reason. There are real high and low points. He's the on…

    Tulum is a weird example, you can't really even walk from town to the beach. PDC, on the other hand. I agree with your general point.

    To segment your customer base, like any company that offers "basic" and "premium" versions of basically the same thing. In this case, you get some people who walk in, order whateve…

    I think it's an open secret that McDonalds uses the app to segment customers by price. If you just walk in and order off the normal menu, you pay a lot and they push all the pricie…

    The blog post says small, medium, large, this shows about 8 different sizes, which is... even funnier somehow. The designers needed to see all the options in game.

    If you're only using stackoverflow to have someone read the docs to you, then I feel you're missing the point. There is so much between the lines, and the LLM isn't 100% there yet.…

    Everybody says that transit isn't practical because suburbs exist. But nobody said that cars were impractical before suburbs existed (well probably some people did and it turns out…

    When transit is good you can ride it wherever you want to, and you can do it drunk. That's my freedom

    It's just the name. "sea" and "weed" are both unappetizing. Needs a PR firm to rebrand it.

    That's not a useful description. The AI doesn't "know" what it "knows". It's not even filling some gap in its knowledge. It's just putting words together that statistically can go …

    I strongly recommend "The Hidden Life of Trees". I listened to the audiobook multiple times while hiking/cycling through the woods and it changed the way I will see trees forever.
