ChatGPT image is a lot more aesthetically coherent when I do a layman's test between Gemini and ChatGPT (both through their chat interface). It just breaks down in subsequent editing (around 3-4 editing prompts). That is to say Gemini also does the same, but I felt it degrades more gracefully in subsequent editing runs.

Wix too. Very interesting that founders of Waze and Wix have Unit 8200 pedigree and Wiz co-founder was part of an elite recruitment program in the IDF. On account of the mandatory draft, it was bound to happen but those three companies have very similar names as well.

It still has issues with sleep still. It just borks the wi-fi now. Need a restart to use the internet again.

Delhi NCR in general looks like a pretty nice place to source tech in India. The Bangalore counterpart of Nehru Place, SP Road felt expensive and a bit less competent than I expected.

Spare parts are expensive in general in India. Add to the fact that there are unscrupulous repair centers, I am certain that the theft of genuine parts happen regularly.

Probably institutes teaching IT stuff. They used to be popular (still?) in my country (India) in the past. That said, there are plenty of places which train in reasonable breadth in programming, embedded etc. now (think less intense bootcamps).

Reminds me of the Indian public discourse when the government wanted to tax caramel popcorn in movie theatres at 18% when the normal ones were taxed at 5%.

It's a fine surprise that I just ordered the book independently and then discovered the podcast and found the book being discussed on HN all in the same day. Pretty nice coincidence.

Pardon me for not getting your context, but are compile times a big issue in software development? I have never programmed professionally and all my experiences with code is from a couple of classes taken in college a decade ago.

I am curious how perplexity handles the rate limiting. I use it a lot during the course of the day and find no rate limiting while Claude 3 Opus set as the default model.

Reddit doesn't even run satisfactorily in my gaming laptop. I can run AAA games but a website is noticeably slow.

Is this confirmed to be owned by Meta?

I'd love to read it when it comes out. Where should I look for it when its published? Ignore if its a stupid question.

> The Database to have some entries about you that might not even be true. Mistakes happen. Good luck proving or correcting them.

This actually happened to me. A clerical mistake by a teacher changed my name in databases which led me to change my name officially so that I can have my original name back.
