I enjoyed the article, and as a longtime developer. I certainly relate to being heads down on a problem, only to step away for a walk or a breather and realize I can maybe avoid solving the immediate problem altogether.

I also don’t think it’s possible to focus at 100% on a detailed complex problem, and also concurrently question is there a better path or a way to avoid the current problem. Sometimes you just need to switch modes between focusing on the details the weeds, and popping back up to asking does this even have to be completed at all?


Really? I missed this. The new hype trick is implying the new LLM releases are almost AGI? Love it.


Anthropic "warned" Claude 4 is so smart that it will try to use the terminal (if using Claude Code) or any other tools available (depending on where you're invoking it from) to contact local authorities if you're doing something very immoral.


I guess this is a good reason to consider things like openrouter. Turns it into a prepaid service.


Do you have any references to the point that the Google Custom Search API is for a subset of the regular Google search index?


No reference here but found this out the hard way too. Google search Ali is Utterly useless in fact and entirely different search results vs using the web. Bing is better. Haven’t tried ksgi yet


"References"? :-) This is a corporation we're talking about, and Google at that. Layers upon layers of obscurity, "strategic decisions" and discontinued products.

Try it and you'll see — there is no official Search API and the Custom Search API is quite poor and not usable in most scenarios.


Just started using Polars, great to learn that data frame validation even exists. Thanks


The pricing table image in the article really should have included Gemini 2.5 pro. Sure, it could be after Flash to the right, but it would help people understand the price performance benefits of 2.5 Flash.


I suspect they are searching for network effects, otherwise they know the switching costs are too low for their users


This is the real trick, and then you realize you can multiply both sides by one hundred, and you end up with the commutative property of math: XY = YX


Either of:

  X**Y=X**Y
  X\*Y=X\*Y
Produces X*Y=X*Y


I also would like to understand the differences relative to bubblewrap


Apparently this was quite common before. (Ask ChatGPT!)

Fathers have wanted strong virile sons, and this was a part of it
