I wondered how Claude would do on non-coding/math questions. I want to replace the front end of my truck, from ball joints to bumper, and Claude was hopeless. It didn’t even know bumper weights, what kind of suspension I have, and more. Gemini nailed everything, giving detailed and correct information on how to replace everything including the problematic (on my truck) driver’s side upper control arm. Replacement bumper weights and costs were correct. Even the welding advice was right.

I still find Claude better for learning math but I won’t use it for other everyday things again.

As mentioned in the first paragraph, the proofs come with Lean certificates. Lean is a theorem-proving language. If Lean accepts the proof, it’s legit.

Around six years ago, I worked for a switch manufacturer and we had insanely optimized networking code that will never see the public light of day.

I get that from the Souls games (including Bloodborne and Elden Ring). They are all I can play now.

Cialis is most common and it is typically low dose, like 5mg/day. Can still provoke unwanted “movement” in a gym environment however.

Uzbekistan has long been one of the largest natural gas exporters in the world and that is set to increase as they have huge untapped reserves. Same story with oil although they aren’t yet a top exporter, so far as I know.

I recall reading similar articles in 1998.
