Gemini 2.5 Pro March Exp edition was effectively Gemini 3, it was a hell of a leap. The Gemini of today is definitely Gemini 2.5.

Man Today's Gemini 2.5 Pro has gone down hill. It is just so bad, like holy f**k.

When Gemini first released in March 2025, I can't say I was excited due to past experiences with Gemini, but when I got it writing code and managing a codebase with it, I was excited. Excited enough to go create a plethora of non-trivial software in Rust. Gemini was just so good at understanding and e...

AI Bias Detection, are these people that r-tarded? Of course they are. Law360 is going to trash their business with this tone policing garbage. LLMs have been out for how long now? What does it know or understand about centrism? How does it adjust was sounds neutral? Are they training the hell out of their own LLMs and testing it to make sure that what comes out is neutral? This is the kind of po...

I DELIVERED BABY!

For the longest time, I've had this itch. You know the one – that recurring problem you see in project after project, the one you know there has to be a better way to solve. For me, that's been orchestrating those complex, multi-step business processes that are the backbone of almost any real-world application.

Think about it: user signup isn't just "create a database ...

I've been thinking of a lot of ideas lately, because with the advent of AI, it is now idea frenzy. I never thought about how I gave away a Schema-less Hierarchical Data Store to the world (C5Store). It's actually incredible piece of software never fully appreciated by me because I used it solely as a configuration store, which it does super well. I don't think about what kind of configuration store to use because I have C5Store to unify it all.

So at Uber, I used to work with this piece of software called Cl...

Are you pulling your hair out because a Remote Desktop Connection window (or a similar RDP client window) keeps stubbornly popping up in Fedora, especially when you switch virtual desktops or application windows? It's a frustrating experience that can grind your productivity to a halt.

While the most common culprits are often a misbehaving RDP client (like Remmina, xfreerdp, etc.), a stuck session, or an auto-reconnect feature gone haywire, there's a deeper, more system-level tweak you could try if all else ...

One of the problems I find with multiplayer games, especially ones that are just getting out is the fact that they need a seed number of users who are online. Most do not, so they lose attention quickly as people stop checking the game to play. It's why I think companies need money to advertise heavily to get as much of a seed population in beta mode as possible before going critical with release.

Well, I feel that isn't always a good deal for smaller games or games that are starting out. My game is 1 v 1, s...

There's few times that I think something is a game changer. Uber ws one of those. iPhone was one. Apple's M-series processor was one. SSDs were one. ChatGPT was one. Gemini 2.5 Pro is officially the best AI Model I have ever used.

It's crazy because Gemini was just categorically and unequivocally bad. Gemini 2.0 made a leap, but still. Claude 3.5 was as good or better than ChatGPT at times, but Gemini 2.5 Pro has taken a lot of my attention away. I still use GPT and Claude for smaller tasks, but for programm...

I've been looking into WebAssembly lately and I say it is the future of containerization. I mean, I've always been a fan of Docker and Podman, but WASM? It's a whole new ballgame. Imagine compiling your favorite language (Rust, Go, C/C++—you name it) into a tiny binary that boots up in milliseconds, all without the baggage of a full-blown OS. That’s what WASM brings to you. No more BS.

WASM is the New Kid on the Block

Here's the deal: WASM was originally created to supercharge web apps, but it’s now breakin...

The Rise of WebAssembly: Redefining Containerization Beyond Docker

The way software is developed, deployed, and managed has been significantly transformed by containerization. Technologies like Docker and Podman have become foundational to modern cloud-native practices, enabling application isolation, portability, and scalability. However, the world of computing is always evolving and a new contender emerges with the potential to redefine containerization as we know it: WebAssembly (WASM).

Let's explore the...

Microsoft Study: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2025/01/lee_2025_ai_critical_thinking_survey.pdf

This Microsoft Study involved self reporting, so it isn't a robust unbiased study on the effects of using AI, but I have impressions.

I think we engage less with the work because it looks good enough and that's expected. We do the same when we accept work from other people. LGTM is basically that.

It's like a factory without QA. Workers will typically accept good enough work from machinery ...
