Still fairly poor limits in anti gravity despite the price cut, which seems to be API only.

If my net worth were that high? No. Folks need to remember that we're closer to being homeless than we are to being as rich as them. You don't need to defend billionaires.
Quantitatively, yes. Qualitatively, no.
Qualitatively I’m much closer to a homeless person in terms of my power to control other people.
We should stop calling it a wealth tax and start calling it an unearned power tax. That’s a far more apt term.

These look exactly like all of the low budget bodega signs near me. They also look like a bunch of cheap ads for parties that I keep seeing. The sameness of style is uncanny. (I don't have the Bodega signs, but I'm thinking of shit like this, from a quick google: https://linkstub.com/en/wet-wild-foam-party )
Sigh. You might be interested in this piece that came to mind from Doctorow: “Let me explain: on average, illustrators don't make any money. They are already one of the most immiserated, precarized groups of workers out there. They suffer from a pathology called "vocational awe." That's a term coined by the librarian Fobazi Ettarh, and it refers to workers who are vulnerable to workplace exploitation because they act…
I like this concept of "vocational awe", and I do think it's why, for example, there is so much sexual and financial abuse in the movie, music and game industry: those people are willing to be treated poorly so they can work their craft - do the thing they love. Basically they are trading away good working conditions in exchange for actually doing work you like or find meaningful, the opposite of someone who does something they hate or find meaningless but pays a high salary and where you are treated really well.
I don't know how well this actually translates to AI, though. We all understand that AI art has a pretty low quality, but sometimes low quality is enough. If I want an image for my D&D character that only I and my DM will likely ever see, I am fine with a 7 cent AI-generated image, but I'm not willing to pay 150$ for an artist to do it - not that I don't value their time, I just don't value the image that much. Before AI this was the same, I'd just have used an image from Pinterest and thought "Well, this isn't exactly a good match, but I can't find anything better".
But I assume real illustrators do things like illustrations for children's books? I'd like to believe that those are still done by actual people, not AI.

On DeepSwe it's strictly beaten by Luna on max, cost and result. Damn, Luna on max is as good on DeepSWE as Kimi k3, I think I dismissed this model unjustly.
So in a way Luna is the new Gemini Flash? I've been out of the game for a while.
Luna is the smallest variant of gpt-5.6 from openai and it seems to beat Gemini Flash 3.7 on DeepSWE benchmark (which is one of the new coding benchmarks that people find more relevant to their daily work than old, saturated and gambled benchmarks). It beats it massively on cost and by a bit on quality.

#455I'm really curious about this: the foundational paper behind today's LLMs came from Google, and some of the world's best scientists were at Google. So why are they falling so far behind in the AI race?
> why are they falling so far behind in the AI race?
Are they? They provide AI overview to majority of web searches, and that alone requires enormous resources. Anthropic, OpenAI and others only serves their AI customers. Regarding the power of their model, my own experiences are that it doesn't fall behind. I've done many successful projects already, including quite a big one in Pascal. So no, I don't feel any difference between Gemini and others. I think it's just a long lasting fashion to whine about Google and its services.

Sergey's out spending $100 million to lobby against the billionaire tax in California. Lest his net worth shrink from roughly $250 billion to $237 billion. Can't become a pleb now! [0] [0] https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/10/google-co-founder-sergey-b...
not that I'm intending to defend Sergey here but, if you could spend 0.04% of your net worth to protect 5% of your net worth (and probably all of your easy liquidity)... wouldn't you?
Not if I was that rich, no. Fundamentally Sergey does not have faith that an accountable government merits the money.

Yes it is cheap, but per task DeepSeek v4 Flash is a bit more expensive and lands between Terra and Gemini 3.6 Flash in quality. Closer to Gemini than Terra...
Fable orchestrating DeepSeek v4 Flash to implement a plan is my new favorite thing. It's so freaking fast, but you gotta tell Fable to watch Deepseek like a hawk or it'll go off the rails.
Interesting - how are you interacting and orchestrating this?

What would a hedge fund want to do on this exactly? It’s too slow for hft and I’m not sure what they would be doing where ms matter but is not hft.
It's not like there are only two buckets: 1. HFT doing ass-simple arbitrage where only latency matters 2. More sophisticated slower trading taking in deeper signals Those are two points along a continuum. If you are reacting to an earnings announcement by having an LLM read the earnings release and listen to the call, getting the results a few seconds earlier lets you get your trade in a few seconds earlier. Just bec…
Exactly that. Except that ultrafast delivers this level of intelligence an order of magnitude faster. So if your competitors automatically react to news articles or financial statements with a certain level of comprehension within minutes, you can now do so in seconds.
