> It messes up sometimes

i have the opposite experience as i've found it to mess up a lot to the point that I can't trust the AI Overview answer at all. I've seen it be confidently wrong too many times and now the trust factor just isn't there.

Never ever trust AI summary cooking instructions. Holy crap.

I made a serious error with that once.

I was searching for reverse sear info and it told me to make sure the steak is at least 37f/3c internally before eating lol

To be fair, being a solid block of ice would impair eatability

(I agree that AI result summaries would be quite handy, if Google's results weren't also so frequently incorrect at a basic or numeric level)

I often use LLMs to suggest recipes based on some criterias, but yes once you decided what you want to cook always go find some non-IA recipes for it

I’ve found video game tips to also be very incorrect hallucinations as well.

Did you add glue to a pizza?

For simple queries it’s fine. The main value it adds is that it’s above the ad spam.

But it was trained on ad spam wasn't it?

And consistently quotes information from them, yes. They quite like showing reddit and news icons while searching, but expand the references and it paints a rather different picture, especially for common searches which are flooded with junk. Niche stuff seems more likely to reference decent sites, but have massively worse hallucinations.

I've found that the AI overview is usually right but confidently wrong enough of the time that I don't trust it. The interface that you get with the 'AI Mode' button (which I assume is just Gemini with very low compute settings), however, is usually pretty solid for well-documented queries.

just because you lift weights and eat protein doesn't mean you'll be bulky, do not be ridiculous.

Also it's difficult to achieve body builders top shapes, most of them are naturally gifted and are on some kind of enhancement drugs.

That being said, you will look pretty good for your size if you moderately lift heavier weights and eat your protein + calories.

If they wanted to have this in the EU, they would've. Not going to blame brussels for the dirt that apple is throwing at my face.

Is the idea that they hate you because you're European, or...?

Apple doesn't hate European citizens, per se, just EU/EEA customer protection laws.

That says something about Apple, doesnt it?

s/Apple/USA & BIgtech/g

I'd argue this is true for every corporation that didn't need that regulationas a moat (some have found they could use those regulations to their advantage and block competitors, mostly due to implementation costs)

Sure, i can agree with that.

Its just another heartless corporation focused purely on money, run by typical sociopaths, just like literally every other big megacorp. Profits and carefully crafted PR campaigns also here on HN, nothing more.

It never ceases to amaze me in worst way possible how quite a few people here keep treating them as something more, over and over. Or maybe its just that PR campaign.

Don't take me wrong, they have fine devices for specific type of people and good business strategy overall but above applies hard.

A lot of people are investing in Apple, most likely you are indirectly as well, if not you then your pension. Not surprised some people would defend everything they do. Then you have the die-hard fans and I'm sure there's some PR peeps going around especially how it easy it is nowadays with AI.

It's funny, because Apple was/is HN's darling when it comes to privacy, yet handed over the keys to Chinese government when push came to shove.

It's not that people love Apple necessarily. It's also that not all people love bureaucracy and trust in it implicitly.

Germany is a special case actually because they just refused to go on the fiber train and instead kept doubling down on DSL. Goes all the way back to the administration from the 80s and onwards, it's finally changing tho.

yeah, it's been a bitt iffy for me this week. took a few days off and came back yesterday and in the mean time feels like claude code took 15 steps backwards

Every time I consider max plan or a yearly sub I remind myself that it's their standard operating procedure to degrade their products after launch.

Is this drug sponsored by Roger Goodell?

The Gov sponsors it... Pharma gets the profits

Who wrote the title? Joseph McCarthy?

RIP. An important part of the gaming history is now gone, such a shame.

Eh, all good things eventually come to an end. E3 played an important part of gaming history, but we're not worse off given that it died because gaming culture became extraordinarily mainstream and no longer required these kinds of industry marketing events.

Same boat here, also Germany. Wanted to watch the Bourdain show "No Reservations" and it's practically impossible.

There are only 3 ways:

1. Import the DVDs from the US, but pay a high cost for the DVDs, the high cost of shipping, the taxes and customs and eventually, once it arrives, watch it.

2. Be a criminal, get a VPN, fake address and data, prepaid US credit card and subscribe to discovery in the US and watch it.

3. Be a criminal and pirate it easily.

Is piracy really the problem?

From what I remember when I last tried it, NaNoWriMo worked with the honor system. If you wanted you could paste a wikipedia article in the editor and it would count the words and tell you good job, but you'd only be lying to yourself in the end.
