Request subtopic be changed to “I used Gemini to design a tool to replace specific uses of Gemini.”

titles on HN should match the original, rare exceptions
plufz•47m ago
Use the original title: Submit the actual title from the source page unless it is misleading or linkbait.

And this can be said to be misleading in my opinion

I found it much more useful to go to a knife shop and handle a whole bunch of knives for myself. They’re all pretty similar besides material, so not much signal you’re going to be able to glean from people arguing on reddit.
infecto•30m ago
Most of the attributes don’t matter. Most people would be much better off with a $50 Victorinox that they kept sharp and a wood cutting board they maintained than upgrading the knife. If you are using it all day there are definitely looking things from a comfort perspective but for most homes, does not matter.

I was hoping he tricked Gemini into running the training on the cluster that Gemini itself is running on. That would be novel!

Okay!

I feel like this warning solves it. No shame or trouble needed for anyone.

I stopped reading three sentences in when I realized it was getting hard to follow. AI explains it.

Thank you to the author for disclosing slop writing up front. I appreciate you respecting your readers time.

The other day I wanted to gather Reddit comments about a solar panel vendor. Claude doesn't have access to I had Gemini do some "deep research". When I fed the verbose report back to Claude it basically said it was a bunch of "hallucinated bullshit".
HappyPanacea•13m ago
Well was it hallucinated bs?
bootlooped•11m ago
I've never had a Gemini Deep Research report that didn't sound like a load of pseudo-intellectual BS. It always starts with a long grandiose preamble and then sounds way too academic, almost like a caricature of academia.

post training dataset for GLiNER is pretty small though.

The more intelligent AI become, the less moat it has
bguberfain•11m ago
Isn't it just learning to map specific words, from the "knife world", to the correct class? If so, a simple dictionary would fit. What I think is a better way to validate is to split train/validation by words used presented in NER classes (like, it should be able to find new brands never seen before). It is a interesting problem.

It’s unreadable but then again it says it on top, but it really is so why post it

I had Gemini read this article and write its summary to /dev/null
