My love for Porsche almost completely stopped as soon as I moved to the Bay Area.

Why? Because you could afford one? Or because you everyone else could? If your love for them was based on other people not having one, and not for love of the machine, can you really call yourself a fan?

Because of the kind of other people who had them and how he felt that reflected on him.

Having a cool old project car is less cool when everyone else is some jerk who bought into it.

Note I said “almost completely”. You also decided to interpret my response as I only cared about scarcity..which is a choice.

To answer: There’s only so many times you want to strike up a friendly conversation with a driver about their lovely car, only to be met with them having no clue about their bespoke vehicle, or even worse - the pitted feeling that they are somehow superior.

Porsche drivers in most of places I’ve lived do not behave this way. You will have a better time and luck in the Bay Area chatting cars with someone who drives a Ferrari or McLaren (or a Mazda to make it clear it’s not simply value) than a Porsche owner.

As a petrol head, I’m saying it’s sad that most tech bros buy these over the top track cars and don’t know much about them besides the paint color or alcantara.

then again, you what Alcantara is.

This. I tried even tried signing up with my paid business line and it denied me due to VoIP.

I do the same, and have excellent results. Gemini 3.1 Pro high diagnosed and solved 3 complex issues today that Opus Max was stumbling on for a few hours in one shot. This was even when I started new chats and tried debugging with Ultracode instead with Claude.

As much as people on HN like to dunk on Gemini, I’ve always found it to be pretty good at understanding a code base more than Claude.

What harness do you use Gemini in?

agy cli. It’s been rock solid.

I sometimes think about the time I was on a road trip with a friend, and for what was generally a 3 hour trip to the mountain, was 5 hours for my friend driving.

Midway through the trip I was suspicious of the duration, traffic was fine. He was adamant he knew where he was going.

I pulled up google maps, and sure enough. 3 hours.

Turns out, his mapping app wasn’t aware of an offramp, so instead it wanted us to drive an extra hour, then do a u-turn and drive back to take an offramp.

He was blindly using Apple Maps

In defence of Apple Maps, I find it a lot better in terms of routing and traffic than Google now (especially in the UK).

I had a similar experience with Apple Maps. I swore it off forever that day.

Which means Apple would have to give OAI and Anthropic access to Gemini, I mean Siri AI.

No, it's more that those apps needs to be able to make all of the tool calls Siri AI can make, which would allow third-party developers to collect data they shouldn't have access to.

App developers can already access the on-device foundational models through an API, but I don't think many developers want to do that because there are better models.

Apple don’t want you to be able to say “Hi Alexa” or “Ok Google” to your iPhone, and wake it up.

We have all kinds of data access controls, these could probably also be built around Siri and competitors.

Anymore than Amazon or Google want you to say "Hey Siri" to wake up their devices.

There was not a single thing they launched that I have not seen Gemini already showcase capability or existing feature wise

The only thing you saw was phoning home, that’s what’s gonna be interesting when Apple releases their version. Is it phoning home 100% of the time or can you turn off the Internet and have it perform in the same way, there will be plenty of YouTubers that will give it the test a test I might add that they haven’t done up until this point for anything that Google has put out?

The transfer of wealth is diminishing also as older generations didn’t save as much, are unable to retire, or are spending through most of their retirement
