I can't figure this out from the website, does the text variant have tabular figures?

They're probably worried about liability. Let's say that Oracle finds out you reverse engineered their DB using Gemini. You can be sure they will sue Google. Not just for providing the tools, but you could make the argument that it's actually Gemini doing the reverse engineering, and on Google's hardware no less.

Ha ha. I never thought of that as a selling point for affiliate links. I suppose Amazon will make less money if people print their own books as well.

What I really want to see from a "*-programming-language" post on HN is _why_. Why Lily?

midges can fly, so presumably they would hit the web at random points. as to why flying would be useful for the midges, if they consume biofilms on the surfaces, that's less clear. perhaps over time the midges will evolve away from flying and the spiders will have to adjust their strategy.

hmmm makes me wonder if you could train llms on gzipped text. would save a lot of tokens that way.

Or, concretely, migrating hoverflies. Interestingly they don't appear to be colonial.

The home page is a video of it working. Including throwing gasoline on it when it's already on fire. While it's running.

I don't think 64 RFID antennas would be that bad - you can etch them onto a PCB. That would be a pretty large PCB, I guess, but you could segment it if necessary.

Looks great! Why do you need a database? Seems like that limits the deployment options. You can't deploy to github pages, for example.
