Tangentially related, I published some notes about "docs for agents" (e.g. `GEMINI.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, etc.) yesterday It's more focused on implications for docs strategy (I'm worried that agent providers are steering us towards duplicating information that's already in eng docs) rather than user best practices i.e. "put this into your agent doc to improve agent performance" https://technicalwriting.dev/ai…

Has anyone found significant-enough differences to not just make one overarching LLM_GUIDANCE.md and symlink it to the others there?

This also strikes me as such an organic (ironically) problem that it probably makes sense for everyone to pool their prompts together, together with their observations, to try to discern what patterns tend to work.

Super weird! I've been using it the last week, and never hit the quota limit for free users. We're having some capacity issues right now, but that should not affect the quota. Would love it if you can try tomorrow or so again!

It's happening to me with API Key usage. I assume there are no Terms of Use protections on our data unless we access Gemini CLI in a paid manner? [API Error: {"error":{"message":"{\n \"error\": {\n \"code\": 429,\n \"message\": \"Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).\",\n \"status\": \"RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED\"\n }\n}\n","code":429,"status":"Too Many Requests"}}] Please wait and try again later. To increase your…

I believe Workspace users have to pay a separate subscription to use the Gemini CLI, the so-called “Gemini for Google Cloud”, which starts at an additional 19 dollars per month [^1]. If that’s really the case, it’s very disappointing to me. I expected access to Gemini CLI to be included in the normal Workspace subscription. [^1]: https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/google/...

So to be clear (this isn't your fault of course, this is a Google problem), as someone with my own domain for my email: * First google forced me to start paying for my email domain. * Then they increased the cost to force me to pay for AI features * Now, I can't actually use the AI features without spending even more money, I could use them if I just had a gmail address and didn't pay google. Well done Google, you've…

ZohoMail offers upto 5 free emails for a custom domain. It's what I use fwiw.

Google suffers from Microsoft's issues: it has products for almost everything, but its confusing product messaging dilutes all the good things it does. I like Gemini 2.5 Pro, too, and recently, I tried different AI products (including the Gemini Pro plan) because I wanted a good AI chat assistant for everyday use. But I also wanted to reduce my spending and have fewer subscriptions. The Gemini Pro subscription is inc…

There is a vscode extension that can basically be an agent but use gemini from the website which is cool. But I found it to a little bit clunky and I guess I like the ui of google, I mean, the point is to get the point across. If you really hate the gemini ui, I am pretty sure that there is stylus extension which can beautify it or change the styles to your looking. I guess I am an android user but still I understand…

The main reason not to migrate is that they cost the same, but I get more value from iCloud. You can probably say the same for Google One on Android; ecosystem retention seems to work well for Apple and Google.

I used 1Password in the past, and it’s possible to reconfigure most things to use another provider (passwords, app storage, etc.). AFAIK, you cannot reconfigure the full phone backup, which you must manually do without an iCloud storage quota. But why switch providers if I’m on the Apple ecosystem and the service is priced at the same price tiers? (I also use “Hide My Email” occasionally)

The only difference will be Gemini. However, my most significant percentage of AI usage is currently on desktops. The free tier of ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is okay for use on mobile.

The UI part that I mentioned is this: Gemini is just a web app, which means that if you need to use AI from the selected text or the app you are using, you need to copy and paste or capture a screenshot. But ChatGPT macOS integration is much better. It’s a native app that you can summon with a key combination, and it can automatically put the active app/text in context. I evaluated multiple options, and in the end, the winner for me was Raycast AI, because their app UX is incredible, and you can integrate your prompt with existing tools very easily. With prompts like: “For each item in the current selection, add a todo in @Apple Reminders”, or things like “Use @firecrawl to scrap the current page, then create a table with all the product prices and use @finder to store a CSV file”. You can save the prompt in a preset and use it as a Raycast command. That UX change was like night and day regarding daily AI usage. I chose to pay for the Raycast subscription, even if it was more expensive than switching everything from iCloud to Google and paying for only one service.

My point in the parent post is that today, Google is the company most well-positioned to be the absolute leader of the AI space. However, unlike OpenAI, they don’t seem to care much about the UX (at least outside Android), but if you use the assistant to work every day, the difference a good chat UX does is huge.

Excuse me why was this downvoted so aggressively??

How can they train on internal codebase without leaking specifics?

They can’t, which is a good point. Also it would be basically useless for the reasons I mention.

> First google forced me to start paying for my email domain. Do you mean that they stopped offering the legacy free tier and you had to upgrade to a paid plan? If that's the case, they reverted their decision and it was possible to go back to the free tier. I don't know if it is still possible, as this was 3 years ago, but here's a thread outlining how to do it. https://www.reddit.com/r/gsuitelegacymigration/comment…

They did it fairly quietly, for a very limited time, I guess to shut up people shouting about it on Twitter.

When I heard about it (about 6 weeks after that post), I applied to go back to free, but was told I was too late.

Here on Fedora 42 I couldn't past "Waiting for auth... (Press ESC to cancel)" when selecting Auth Method,However switching to gnome-terminal got that working.
