Google’s Gemini 2.0 is actually pretty good. 2 million context window is way more than any OpenAI model’s context.

I think OpenAI missed a trick by not releasing Sora months ago. Now Minimax Hailuo AI etc exist and most people don’t care about Sora.

Opportunity missed?

I first came here when bsky had less than 5k people. Couldn’t find my python, astronomy, web3, AI, or Star Trek tribes. I hear bsky now has 15 million people? πŸ˜ƒ

Say hello πŸ‘‹πŸ½ if you see this. I want to stick around this time πŸ˜‡

Got access to Modular’s new programming language Mojo’s playground.

Forget the 35000x claimed speed increase over python the only thing my cartoon brain can think of rn is:

how cool that Mojo files can have an emoji as a file extension.

Hello.πŸ”₯ has way more energy than Hello.py imo.

Ignore the noise.

You only need three basic philosophies to live a great life:

Stay calm. Be kind. Live simple.

Algorithmic choice Your attention is an invaluable resource. We want a future where you control what you see on social media.

The What's Hot feed is just one example of what's possible with custom algorithms β€” soon, you'll be able to choose the algorithms that power your own feeds.

Oh I believe you. I hate The Exorcist (the original). Idk why I even watched it. It was insane. No one should ever watch it.

When I get my first invite I want to create a separate bsky account for my Star Trek page. I will vouch for myself. Is that okay? Or will people who want to create their second account for fun things not get invites?

Sorry I’m still trying to figure out how the invite system works.

A bit of an intro since I haven’t been on social media much the past 3 years. I’m a ~semi-recently laid off distributed engineer that is now working on 3D printing space things programmatically!

Are there any other 3D printing friends on here? πŸ–¨οΈπŸ™
