I wish I could just pay for the model and self-host on local/rented hardware. I'm incredibly suspicious of companies totally trying to capture us with these tools.

Technically you can!

I haven't seen it in the box yet, and pricing is unknown https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/r...

Just generated a bunch of 3D CAD models using Gemini 3.0 to see how it compares in spatial understanding and it's heaps better than anything currently out there - not only intelligence but also speed.

Will run extended benchmarks later, let me know if you want to see actual data.

Just hand sketched what 5 year old would do on the paper - the house, trees, sun. And asked to generate 3d model with tree.js.

Results are amazing! 2.5 and 3 seems way way head.

This was fun to read

“ Fun fact: Translating French and Spanish claims into German first improved technical accuracy—an unexpected perk of Germany’s automotive dominance.”

It really puzzles me how this is helping and how it was done?

Does it make text more clear? How exactly? Does the German language is more descriptive? Does it somehow expands context?

So many questions in this fun fact.

This is amazing! First use-case was to open youtube to listen for some music with adblocker enabled! Works very well, however... now there is one more hidden place for music to play that might be hard to find. But this on user, not dev!

Really appreciate of the feature!

> Does a pure AI-agent marketplace make sense?

It does, however who is your target market?

> Any UX or trust issues you’d expect with this model?

Yes, why I should trust those agents? How do they work? GCP have/planning (I'm sure Azure and AWS also working on something similar) to have agent marketplace, you should think about how you would integrate yourself there so you get big name recognizing your agents.

I really like Bun too, but I had a hard time getting it to play nicely with WSL1 on Windows 10 (which I prefer over WSL2). For example:

  ~/: bun install
  error: An unknown error occurred (Unexpected)

Why you prefer WSL1 over WSL2?

I started publishing "TIL" posts a few years ago and everything in this post here resonated 100% with my experience of writing those.

The great thing about TILs is that once you form a solid set of habits around them they can be extremely quick to put together: the majority of my TIL posts take between 15 minutes and half an hour to write.

I make extensive personal notes on everything I'm doing (in GitHub issues threads or VS Code scratch documents) - turning those into a TIL is mainly about pasting those notes into a Markdown file and tidying them up a bit.

https://til.simonwillison.net/ is my collection so far.

I get a huge amount of value out of these. I don't particularly care if other people read them, the value is in helping me better understand the material and enabling me to refer back to them in the future.

I refer to some of them multiple times every week! This one for example, about Python packaging with pyproject.toml: https://til.simonwillison.net/python/pyproject

You mister Simon, you are the inspiration! For TILs and Py modules.

I wonder what's drives you to make so many Py modules? Do you see reusing modules for your own projects or do you have some other grand plan?
