I just saw companion. Great movie and a very realistic cautionary tale, but I can't help but think were already there with 4o

Nondeterminism is always fun

I have, in fact seen private email. It involves sending an encrypted attachment containing the actual message

This is why I have stopped using Gmail except as the email that I give when online shopping. My main email is Proton now.

Google turned their service into a dumping ground for spam.

So that's how I use it.

A small tabby and white kitten and black bird, likely a jackdaw, standing together in a dirt yard, looking to the left. They seem relaxed and at ease with each other.

The same bird and kitten from the previous photo, this time strolling away from the camera in a different outdoor setting together, side by side.

This is one of my favorite sets in my collection. Somewhere out there in the 1960s, a kitten and bird were pals. 💕

Their real fear is probably that they lose the ability to use their data extraction tools with most Android and iOS devices rather than a tiny minority of GrapheneOS devices. Despite how frustrated we are with Google, we're seriously considering trying to help them a bit more because of this.

Evidently Nano Banana Pro has some surprising gaps in its guardrails.

Figure 02 working in BMW plant. they did this every day for months and contributed to the production of tens of thousands of cars.

I really hope signal for Android will get material 3 expressive just so that their Android app isn't getting neglected with the bare minimum. If they are aiming for a native look for IOS then it would only make sense to do the same by implementing a native look for Android.

This is a Nano Banana Pro appreciation thread.

Nano Banana Pro aka gemini-3-pro-image-preview is the best available image generation model Hot on the heels of Tuesday’s Gemini 3 Pro release, today it’s Nano Banana Pro, also known as Gemini 3 Pro Image. I’ve had a few days of preview access …

Nano Banana Pro, released this morning, is clearly the best image generation model. Superb instruction following, plus it can generate full infographics (with correct spelling and properly rendered text!) from a short prompt based on running extra searches simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/20/...

investments in solar power lower costs for consumers so much that in some places they're literally giving away free energy during the day, but sure.

Ignas | DeFi @Defilgnas X.com Bitcoin is being dumped by long-term holders due to quantum risk. A quantum computer with sufficient logical Qubits will be able to break the private keys of 20-30% of the coins. This means that Bitcoin is effectively providing a US$500 billion 'science prize' to the first company to build the computer which breaks the encryption. There are some potential solutions for the problem, but it is clear that because Bitcoin has no management or leaders, they won't be adopted. The Bitcoin protocol will most likely die once quantum hacks starts happening, as confidence will be destroyed.

seems bad

Cloudflare outage on November 18, 2025 Cloudflare suffered a service outage on November 18, 2025. The outage was triggered by a bug in generation logic for a Bot Management feature file causing many Cloudflare services to be affected.

On November 18 Cloudflare experienced a service outage. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happened. https://cfl.re/43Bw8AI

software engineering has taught me that it's a lot easier to withstand a nuclear attack than a fat-fingered config

A dark-themed scatterplot titled “ARC-AGI-2 LEADERBOARD.” Axes • Y-axis: Score (%), ranging from 0% up to 55%. • X-axis: Cost per task ($), logarithmic from $1e–3 to $1K. Legend Top-left: ARC Prize | Verified Data Points Colorful triangular markers represent many different model variants. The plot shows a strong cost–performance frontier: most points cluster below 10% score, but a few models stand far above. ⸻ High-scoring outliers (upper-right and upper-mid): • Gemini 3 Deep Think (Preview) — ~50% score, very high cost (≈$500–$1000). Green triangle on the far right and highest on the chart. • Gemini 3 Pro — ~30% score, cost around $1. Green triangle centered horizontally. • GPT-5 Pro — ~17% score, cost ≈**$10**. Blue triangle above the mid-cost range. • Grok 4 (Thinking) — ~14–15% score, cost around $1–$2. Pink triangle slightly below GPT-5 Pro. • Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Thinking 32K) — ~13% score, cost ≈**$1**. Red triangle near Grok 4. • GPT-5 (High) — ~10–12% score, cost around $1. Blue triangle. • o3 (High) — around 8–9%, cost ≈**$0.50**. Blue triangle just below GPT-5 (High). ⸻ Mid-range cluster: 1–7% score Dozens of small colored triangles (various models and reasoning modes) cluster in the low-cost region (0.01–1 dollars). This includes: • o3-mini (High) • o3 (Medium) • GPT-4.5 • o3-mini (Medium) • GPT-5 Mini (various modes) • Tiny/low-cost models from multiple families These fill the bottom-left quadrant. ⸻ Very low-cost, very low-score models At the far-left (cost ~$1e–3 to 1e–2), many points sit at 0–2%, representing extremely cheap but weak models. ⸻ Overall picture • Gemini models dominate the top (Gemini 3 Deep Think → ~50%, Gemini 3 Pro → ~30%). • No other model exceeds ~17%. • Cost rises steeply with performance—especially for the top Gemini variants.

Gemini 3 DeepThink is 2x SOTA on ARC-AGI-2

Oriol Vinyals & • @OriolVinyalsML •2h The secret behind Gemini 3? Simple: Improving pre-training & post-training Pre-training: Contra the popular belief that scaling is over—which we discussed in our NeurIPS '25 talk with @ilyasut and @quocleix— the team delivered a drastic jump. The delta between 2.5 and 3.0 is as big as we've ever seen. No walls in sight! Post-training: Still a total greenfield. There's lots of room for algorithmic progress and improvement, and 3.0 hasn't been an exception, thanks to our stellar team. Congratulations to the whole team

Gemini 3 is indeed a much larger model

both pre-training (model size) & post-training (RL) scaling

Two Weeks of Surveillance Footage From ICE Detention Center ‘Irretrievably Destroyed’ "Defendants have indicated that some video between October 19, 2025 and October 31, 2025 has been irretrievably destroyed and therefore cannot be produced on an expedited basis or at all."

New: DHS claimed in court proceedings that nearly two weeks worth of surveillance footage from ICE’s Broadview Detention Center in suburban Chicago has been “irretrievably destroyed” and may not be able to be recovered. ACLU of Illinois said "Hoping DHS can explain"

Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' | TechCrunch An outage at internet infrastructure giant Cloudflare took down several big websites and services, including ChatGPT, Claude, Spotify, and X.

NEW: Internet infrastructure giant Cloudflare blamed this morning's massive internet outage on a "latent bug."

This is another stark reminder that the internet depends on just a handful of companies. According to an estimate, Cloudflare is used by 20% of all websites on the internet.
