Gemini: De ce Europa federală nu poate fi dorită de Germania

Did Gemini Pro really get that worse? 4 threads to test it!
I just had 3 conversations with Gemini Pro Extended Thinking. It all started from my refusal to watch two videos about Claude skills, but the first thread evolved into covering…
Chatbots are increasingly useless ● Searching for a watch
I don’t use chatbots to write either texts or code for me. For code, Gemini CLI wasn’t bad when I used it, and Qwen Code was very decent, too, but…

While everyone is expecting Gemini AI 3.5 to be released tomorrow, May 19, at Google I/O 2026, some changes took place in advance. Starting on May 17, 2026, there are…
What if I boycotted all Chinese LLMs? ● Ludditus investigates!
This idea might come as a shock to those who noticed that I was quite a heavy user of Kimi lately. I mostly used it for answers that involved distilling…
Who isn’t on the Big Bad Web?
I’m not a huge fan of Kagi's products and services. Their web search is not free. Kagi Translate seems to be temporarily free, and it usually performs great translations, except…
Zooming out (not zoning out!) on some Linux & IT idiocies
① Someone felt contemplative... I was looking for a review of Argent Linux and I noticed this ad hoc philosophy at the end of a review of it in DistroWatch…
My Lenovo’s resume-after-sleep bug fixed in one minute
Somewhere, I mentioned the fact that my new, cheap but premium-finished Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 had a single issue under Kubuntu 26.04 LTS: resuming after sleep would break Bluetooth. I…
Gemini’s Nano Banana 2 can hallucinate images it was never given 😸😹😻 UPDATED!
I just noticed in r/GeminiAI someone being puzzled by the fact that he asked Gemini (Nano Banana 2) to create an image from an attachment, and he got an image…
The golden age of free LLM chatbots might soon end + BONUS
I'm trying to collect my thoughts on the current situation regarding the public availability of LLMs. This post comes as a quick follow-up to “Free AI coding agents are becoming…
Dumbo SPECIAL: Crappy Wayland—stupid with GNOME, better but imperfect with KDE
This post is an attempt to summarize my experiences and adventures with Linux from the last two or three weeks. Before I finalized this post, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS had been…
Free AI coding agents are becoming scarce
Once again, I had this post in drafts for a week! It's time to put it in a readable form. ① Artificial Idiocy at work?② Interlude #1: No Gemma, no…
Agentic AI 101 with Tina Huang
While I abhor OpenClaw for reasons I won’t list here, there are some advantages of it over more traditional agentic AI workflows. To oversimplify, let’s say it’s a shift from…
Why do they still not explain AI properly?
There are three kinds of people on Earth. Monkeys who use chatbots, monkeys who pretend to explain how they work, so some other monkeys believe they understand, and the few…
AI Quickie: How strict are Arab countries compared to Iran?
Since the Islamic Revolution, the regime in Iran has been seen as extremely strict and oppressive: Sharia, fewer rights for women, the Ayatollah as the supreme leader that overrides the…
Sam Altman in India, and other AI news
❶ The Indian Express hosted a Q&A session with Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO. As usual, this lunatic has proven his brain damage. The most discussed and criticized answer was the…
Gemini vs. Fran Blanche + BONUS: crazy units
I don't like Fran Blanche. For someone who's a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), her videos are incredibly shallow. Five years ago, Fran made…
The law says you’re responsible for the snow on sidewalks. Why?
There is a thing that bothers me in “civilized countries”: if someone breaks their neck while on a public sidewalk that you don’t own, you’re the one at fault if…
