MisterPea commented on Gemini with Deep Think achieves gold-medal standard at the IMO   deepmind.google/discover/... · Posted by u/meetpateltech

> Was OpenAI simply not coordinating with the IMO Board then?

You are still surprised by sama@'s asinineness? You must be new here.

MisterPea · a month ago
I am still surprised many people trust him. The board's (justified) decision to fire him was so awfully executed that it lead to him having even more slack

I much prefer Gemini over chapgpt, but they recently introduced a limit of 100 messages a day on a pro plan :( aistudio is probably still fine
MisterPea · 3 months ago
I've heard it's only on mobile? I was using gemini for work on desktop for at least 6 hours yesterday (definitely over 100 back and forths) for work and did not get hit with any rate limits

Either way, Google's transparency with this is very poor - I saw the limits from a VP's tweet

This is even the case with Gemini:

The Gemini 2.5 Pro 05/06 release by Google’s own reported benchmarks was worse in 10/12 cases than the 3/25 version. Google re routed all traffic for the 3/25 checkpoint to the 05/06 version in the API.

I’m also unsure who needs all of these expanded quotas because the old Gemini subscription had higher quotas than I could ever anticipate using.

I'm afraid they're going to lower the limits once Ultra is available. I use Gemini Pro everyday for at least 2 hours but never hit the limit

Has anyone met Googlers that are confident in the company's AI strategy? Anecdotally, everyone I've talked to seems to have serious concerns but that might just be a small sample size.
MisterPea · 5 months ago
They're in a tough spot where the CEO does just enough to stay, but they need someone better.

They lagged in AI, but the new Gemini 2.5 Pro is incredible. They built an incredible tool in NotebookLM but failed to market it

> I actually think this is one of the rare times where the small guys interests are aligned with Meta

Small guys are the ones being screwed over by AI companies and having their text/art/code stolen without any attribution or adherence to license. I don’t think Meta is on their side at all

MisterPea · a year ago
That's a separate problem which affects small to large players alike (e.g. ScarJo).

Small companies interests are aligned with Meta as they are now on an equal footing with large incumbent players. They can now compete with a similarly sized team at a big tech company instead of that team + dozens of AI scientists

There's literally nothing productive about getting Southern Californians to Las Vegas faster
MisterPea · a year ago
Vegas is the best destination for business conferences, but yes I agree with your point.

The line connecting NorCal to SoCal is so much more productive that any other line being prioritized is crazy to me.

What's the justification for the far more expensive SR-99 that serves the same route?
MisterPea · a year ago
Trucking - lots of agriculture and other transport shipped through 99

I spent 12 years at LinkedIn. Sadly, it's not even close to the engineering org it used to be. The era where Kevin Scott led engineering was a really good one in comparison.
MisterPea · a year ago
Every engineer of a company of this size says the same exact thing.

IMO more about growth of the engineering teams that lead to any specific culture deteriorating.

I work at LinkedIn now. Chris’s role and the podcast describes ember and front end web dev. I think the LoC and build he’s referring to could be voyager-web. Our monolith flagship web app. And, there’s more systems at LinkedIn with MM lines of code and long builds example is the mid tiers, the offline data stacks, the metrics systems, KafkaKafkaKafka.

Unfortunately, 17min to build is pretty good. 17min without a transient infra failure is very good.

Anyways, AMA

MisterPea · a year ago
Just for another perspective, I've worked at a few companies including LinkedIn as a backend developer and I think LinkedIn is probably around 70-80th percentile in code quality.

There was significant emphasis on code quality at least on the team I was on, and an ever improving culture.

I did work on one voyager task though and I remember it being a nightmare

Cook's best trait is being reactive very well. What he lacks in the Jobs "magic", he has in the ability to react to industry incredibly well and do better than most.

I have little doubt Apple is going to be a major player in AI, especially in the non-Nvidia hardware space after playing around with MLX
