That's one of its strongest features, imo, as it makes notebooks reproducible on other machines, rather than tying them to your system environment.

Vim, neovim, and helix all handle multiple-GB files fine!

This exists, the standard is called C2PA, Google added support for it in the Pixel 10. I was surprised and disappointed that Apple didn’t add support for it in the most recent iPho…

Gemini 3.0 isn't broadly available inside Google. There's are "Gemini for Google" fine-tuned versions of 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash, but there's been no broad availability of any 3.0 mo…

Both possible and trivially easy. Just don’t sign into an Apple account.

ChatGPT and Claude are mistaken if they think it is incorrect. The parallelism in verb tenses is between "continuing to deliver" and "improving the efficiency". It's a bit wordy, b…

For high level endurance athletes, eating enough can be a difficult task. I wouldn’t quite categorize diets like the one described in https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/23/sports/olym…

Disclaimer: I work at Google but not on cloud. Opinions my own. I think the reason this doesn’t get prioritized is that large customers don’t actually want a “stop serving if I pas…

Gemini 2.5 Pro gets this right: https://g.co/gemini/share/7ea6d059164e

Gemini 2.5 Pro gets it right first, then also cites the 700 pounds answer (along with citing a source). https://g.co/gemini/share/c695a0163538

Gemini has had 4 families of models, in order of decreasing size: - Ultra - Pro - Flash - Flash-Lite Versions with `-Preview` at the end haven't had their "official release" and ar…

It has DRM and there is no way to read books from there except on their iOS and android apps and maybe the website (ereaders are excluded entirely at least for now - i think they’r…

Strongly disagree that Facebook games were the peak. To me that was classic flash games like nitrome.com

All the time, it is incredibly useful to send a doc for comments, which can be attached to the relevant piece of text. I use shared editing less often, but I find it's especially u…

Why in the world is a generic NY Times ad categorized as a political ad?

I don't disagree that disregarding the Supreme Court is essentially a type of coup. However, the power which is being contested here is a power that the Supreme Court invented for …

How does this compare with e.g. Tailscale?

I would love if this were implemented. For one thing it would prevent insane App Store rejections like [this]( https://mastodon.social/@vandal/112167322002780991 ) which actively r…

Also not a lawyer, but my understanding is that in order to have standing to sue, you must be able to show that you were damaged by the behavior you are trying to file suit against…

The biggest one is that Apple allows local storage to last longer than 7 days for webpages installed as apps on the home screen, but deletes local storage for ordinary websites 7 d…

I wish this had an API to be used via other weather apps. There are many native iOS weather apps whose interface I prefer to the Google Search app, and I'm sure the big ones (like …
