PGT-P seems like generally a good idea if you are doing IVF anyway, but IVF itself introduces significant risks to your baby. Would love to see a blended analysis that balances benefits from screening with risks from IVF for these elective IVF families.

Anyone pumping these bags should go back and take a remedial heat transfer course from their local Chemical Engineering department.

Someone needs to invent tf-idf for new year’s predictions. You don’t get credit for your correct prediction if tf is too high!

Tinker + Claude Code/Codex are nearing the takeoff point where AI can do (or at least verify) AI research. In 30 minutes I reproduced the archaic bird names experiment. This would have taken weeks 6 months ago.

Qwen audio team is on fire. SOTA on ASR benchmarks + cracked singing! The latter is one of the trickiest problems in speech. If someone isn't racing to wrap their models in an enterprise API and take a slice of 11Labs' $10B+ market cap, capitalism is dead.

The Anthropic marketing team is 🔥 "I'm having trouble connecting with mom" "Head to Golden Encounters, the mature dating site that connects sensitive cubs with warring cougars." I gave up this company for dead last year and now I spend $200/day and they make me lmfao.

My 🌶️ take on vibe coding for PMs PMs shouldn’t waste time landing prod diffs at Meta/Google/your-BigCo-here scale. Do it for the love of the game. (and learning and comms and UXR). ddmckinnon.com/2026/02/11/my-…

What do I get as a Gemini Pro subscriber? Stale models and unusable coding agents? This experience needs to be more differentiated from free to be worth the money. Give me the good stuff. — a guy who subscribes to 4 (maybe soon 3) different AI models

Nice work on the benchmarks from Google, but I am a bit skeptical after finding Gemini 3 underperformed essentially all peers including top Chinese OSS models for my real-world use-cases. How are people using Gemini in coding agents? Jules and Gemini CLI are sooooo far behind.

I thought Google had an infrastructure advantage? I'm no OpenAI stan, but I don't recall anything like this when Codex-5.3 dropped (or Opus 4.6 or Kimi K.25 or ...).

Updated rankings: Codex ~= Claude Code >> Kimi Code > Gemini 3.1 + Antigravity >>> Gemini 3.0 + Gemini CLI. Gemini 3.0 + CLI was unusable as a coding agent. Google has upped its game but still falls short (on my romantasy slop generator and others) despite a strong scorecard

My 🌶️ take on vibe coding for PMs PMs shouldn’t waste time landing prod diffs at Meta/Google/your-BigCo-here scale * If the feature is actually important, fix the system for prioritization (your real job) rather than circumventing it. * You probably code like a slow E3 but cost

In light of the recent Anthropic distillation complaint, it seems timely to share my experience with Chinese coding plans. Codex > Claude Code >> Kimi >> Gemini > Minimax > GLM * Kimi is the best in both quality and harness polish. * The main value seems to be splitting API
