I would say everything about your comment is ridiculous, lacking basic understanding of product strategy. Irritates me that HN crowd upvotes this at the top.

so? agentic tasks is where the promised agi is for many of us

Analytics like what?! Sentry? See, i'm the first one to waste 15+ hours of my own time claude vibing some barely working analytics in order to save 15 dollars for not paying a proven solution to professionals who really understand that problem domain - but we all agree how dumb this is. But if i really can vibe code that analytics in 5 minutes, that thing was never a proven SaaS business in the first place and my use case with certainty a toy app with zero users..

Anki had always the problem of being difficult to figure out how to use it effectively for learning. It's like C++. A million ways to shoot yourself in the foot if you use it wrong.

If this is true, i will cancel my subscription. I'm using tailscale and certainly won't use a service that wants to dictate me how to use my device.

Just cancel it.

Soundcloud these days is nothing but a spambot filled website that have ripped countless users’ tracks and scam to earn fake followers, which the platform doesn’t block these bot but instead shallow banning proper users. The support is also nonexistent and my support ticket hasn’t being been responded for more than an year.

I ended up trashed my account because I got shadow banned for no reason while they keep on stripping off basic features. Some of the users in my community also faced the similar stories.

Unless there is an irreplaceable feature in SoundCloud you rely on, I see no reason to use it.

If you're using tailscale it's a true VPN, not a proxy, and it won't have any impact on you. If you're using the Mullvad add-on that's a different situation.

notebooklm is heavily biased to only use the sources i added and frame every task around them - even if it is nonsensical - so it is not that useful for novel research. it also tends to hallucinate when lots of data is involved.

that explains why their ios gemini app is so ridiculously bad. in private they probably use iphones and just chatgpt instead.

Interesting. When i asked Gemini 3 Pro to generate a Infographic from my personal accounting sheet, it first failed to generate anything except a black background, then it generated something where it mixed different languages in a non-sensical way, with obvious typos and irrelevant information grouping. It's certainly a leap forward in OCR, rendering classic OCR useless.

That's more of an issue with Nano Banana Pro than with Gemini 3 Pro.

What's the difference? I thought the vision ai component of gemini 3 is called nano banana?

That’s about generating images, the other side is about understanding images.

i assumed nano banana was just a tool that gemini 3 used though i don't know

Gemini 3 Pro's text encoder powers Nano Banana Pro, but it has its own image decoding model that decodes the generated image tokens into an actual image, which appears to be the more pertinent issue in this case.

That's weird, from my own tests Nano banana pro has no problem generating complex infographics with legible text.

Is "A New AI Winter Is Coming" the new "The Year of Linux Desktop"?

No, the new "Year of the Linux Desktop" is "This Year Software Engineers Won't Exist Any More Because Of LLMs". Very obviously.

what's their business model now?
