It's not about the information, but the connection to all Google services.

I don't know if I would use a framework named after something that's by nature unreliable, or even devious.


It's literally a nod to the fact that the framework may give you something close to what you want but off in some way. It's pretty much the perfect name for what it is.


It's only an issue if you get a copy by cURL-ing it, dohohoho.


It’s clearly on purpose. The tagline on the page is “Be careful what you wish for...”

My very first thought was similar, followed by recalling a ruby whitespace issue that treated the non-space-whitespace as an undefined function. That was harder to debug than it should have been.

Instead, after reading the page, it is LLM generated pages where "you get what you ask for," hallucinations and all. Fantastic name.


A bit OT: does anyone have experiences with Mistral AI as a comparison to OpenAI or Anthropic? I would like to stay with a European company, if they're somewhat equivalent.


I really like the Mistral openly licensed models - Mistral Small 3 is my current favourite local model to run, but only because I've not spent enough time with the brand new Mistral Small 3.1 to recommend it yet (I expect it will be promoted to my favourite local model soon.)

Their user-facing product at https://mistral.ai/ seems good to me - it uses Brave for search (same as Claude does) and has a "canvas" feature similar to Claude Artifacts. I've not spent enough time with that to evaluate if it could be a good daily-driver or not though.

My hunch is that Claude 3.7 Sonnet is still _massively_ better for code, based on general buzz online and a few benchmarks I've seen.

I don't know whether treating a model as a database is really a good measure.


Yeah, I'm not so much interested in "can you think of the right card name from among thousands?". I just want to see that it can produce a thinking procedure that makes sense. If it ends up not being able to recall the right name despite following a good process of guess-and-check, I'd still consider that a satisfactory result.

And to the models' credit, they do start off with a valid guess-and-check process. They list cards, write out the vowels, and see whether it fits the criteria. But eventually they tend to go off the rails in a way that is worrying.


> but it seems silly to me to say oral traditions aren't durable and that writing is the only way to get at history

I mean, it is true. There are no oral traditions left of the Sumerians or the Assyrians that I know of. Meanwhile, you can find buildings and clay tablets and translate them.


> The classical Greeks could see Mycenaean ruins.

Apparently, they Minoans had plumbing in the 1800s BC, so I'm sure the Greeks would have been surprised at what had preceded them by a long time.


Developed for an older android version, so I cannot use it.


Is Android no longer backward compatible?


I don't know, this is what Google Play tells me.


The pen is octnrtimes really imprecise. Sometimes up to 1-2 mm.


I find mine close to useless. The pen is sometimes really inconsistent, to the point where the ink gets applied 1mm from the pen tip. Also, no canvas for pdf annotation, no split screen, no search in pdfs and notes, only tags, etc. It's strictly worse than paper for me.


Have you contacted support? I've had one for over 4 years (and used up 2 packs of nibs) and it writes perfectly, and much prefer it over the iPad.


That is likely a problem with that specific stylus --- have you tried a different stylus?
