"1.1.1 The dense, jargony answer for geeks in a hurry

Gemini is an application-level client-server internet protocol for the distribution of arbitrary files"

If I were one, I would consider that to have been buried.

"The typical female pet owner spends more time actively engaged with her pet than she spends in face-to-face contact with friends of her own species."

Spurious. This has likely always been true unless you live with said friends.

Yeah. My cat sleeps next to me, sits in my lap while I work, and follows me around the house. That’s a lot of hours every day.

On the other hand, due to the provenance of the cube, the whole thing would sell for a lot more than $1 million.

Jack Binion's sister, Becky Behnen, famously sold million-dollar display of one hundred $10,000 bills in '99 for (a rumored) $4 million to the currency dealer Jay Parrino.

(Supposedly) one of those $10,000 bills was posted on eBay for $160,000.

$10,000 notes carry a substantial premium for collectors.

I find it funny they still advertise having a display of a million dollars, but in boring modern notes. Didn't even bother to look for it even though I walked past the place like 15 times on a Vegas trip, and literally went into the building for a cheap breakfast.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing had a similar glass box filled with uncut sheets of $10 notes when I visited in 2016.

Not sure. But v0-like models will be more useful for niche use cases.

But hope they will have some more things to offer in the future

It seemed appropriate to use Gemini to make sure my answers were ideal for getting access to the preview.

This is supposed to be awesome: https://www.diyjointpainrelief.com/

I've had pain where the lateral head of my gastrocnemius attaches behind my knee for months. I just did that little press-pull-release thing and it was instant relief. I literally don't remember the last time I didn't feel that pain.

Vercel never uses its "open-source" framework funnel to lock folks into opaque, five-figure Enterprise deals for basic features (like security), right?

- Stripe CFO joined Vercel's board.

- V0 turned out just to be off-the-shelf Claude 3.7.

- Vercel Fluid was launched without fanfare.

- Their $250 million Series E round was all preferred stock.

- Rauch has been in Tokyo, Seattle, and now Bordeaux all within three weeks.

How are they doing?

Gemini 2.0 Experimental 02-05 sees this as "only" 107K tokens.

Handy if you want help breaking this down.

'Laplace Approximation is a "quick and dirty" way to turn a complex probability distribution into a simple Gaussian (bell curve).

It works by finding the highest point (mode) and matching the curvature at that point.

It's fast and easy, but it can be very inaccurate and overconfident if the true distribution doesn't look like a bell curve.'

You can also think of this as using the first two terms of a Taylor series approximation in log domain and throwing away the rest!
