deno··on Gemini 4 Carbon
If you have Pro or Ultra you could add her to "family", up to 5 people can share one subscription. Also up to 5 people can share the potential account ban. Otherwise cool feature, I recommend.
deno··on GPT-6.1 Terra
If it’s better at writing how about making it an option for Chat in ChatGPT? I still go back to Gemini Pro 3.1 for any writing.
deno··on GPT-6.1 Terra
I'm using OMP (oh-my-pi) and the minimum you need to do is just set the @task role to Deepseek:max.

Subagents can spawn with other profiles e.g. scout (uses @smol) and reviewer (@slow). You can set SOTA with higher thinking for @slow and Deepseek with lower thinking for @smol or something even faster/cheaper.

There's also weirdly named /vibe mode that gives explicit instructions to the main model to act as an orchestrator but I find this unnecessary if your main is SOTA, they are already super eager to spawn subagents by default.

deno··on GPT-6.1 Terra
You can do real world development with weaker models than Deepseek Flash.

I still use SOTA for the main model though, but also I'm perfectly aware it's mostly out of FOMO.

Deepseek is more than enough for default subagents though. Any well defined and verifiable task and there's absolutely zero difference between SOTA and good-enough models. Used to be just speed, but Deepseek is fast.

deno··on GPT-6.1 Terra
It's only a little better than Deepseek with Max effort in benchmarks. Doesn't bode too well for 6.1 Luna.
deno··on IBM CEO says open weight models are now good and cheap on-prem
In OMP just setting the "task" role (which controls the default subagent model choice) to some cheap Flash model like Deepseek or Gemini goes a long way towards making better use of your quota.

Sol and Opus both are quite eager to use subagents and since the subagent tasks are often well specified and then verified by the main model there's hardly any advantage to using anything better for the subagent anyway, so IMO it's a no-brainer.

For me switching the main model to Kimi K3.1 Pro would put me towards 100% open, but I don't know if it uses subagents effectively. Any other open models I noticed just don't utilize them very much.

deno··on Agent erased full season of "The Challenge Swe": "Hundreds of days of work gone"
Someone has set up that server and ssh access. It wasn’t “Steve’s” macbook.
deno··on Agent erased full season of "The Challenge Swe": "Hundreds of days of work gone"
It would just need to decide to run shred for some reason.
deno··on Agent erased full season of "The Challenge Swe": "Hundreds of days of work gone"
Yeah, just stop writes and get someone that can use photorec of similar. It's not the end of the world unless you do something stupid.

But who knows what the agent was trying to do. It could really have decided the TV show was so bad no one should see it. There's no details.

Or it's bad and it's tax evasion.

deno··on Agent erased full season of "The Challenge Swe": "Hundreds of days of work gone"
If the title was "TV studio does not have backups" this would be a non-story. The fact it was deleted by agent and not human doesn't really matter.
deno··on Gemini 4 Argon
First install Antigravity and see if it works on Free with your account at all. You can buy Ultra and then find out you don't have "Antigravity eligibility" on a given account or it will ask you to send SMS to some nonexistent number.

I would also advise against buying Gemini if you have any other Google services, because you get banned across board if they don't like something. To use Google it's best to first migrate off of Google.

Otherwise great product, I really like and would recommend Gemini. The usage is also very generous, at least Flash models.

deno··on New gTLD Application for .lan

FTFY

deno··on New gTLD Application for .lan
So now you’re potentially in conflict with ALL gTLDS? I don’t get what this is supposed to accomplish.
deno··on New gTLD Application for .lan
There's a good reason to do this if you can't be certain what reserved subnets are used in a given network and you absolutely need a static ip for some reason.

At least that's the conclusion I've arrived at at some point, but I don't remember what was the exact use case anymore.

However there are still several global IPv4 ranges that are not local reserved ranges but are effectively reserved and you could use them if you really want to without any issues.

deno··on New gTLD Application for .lan
But what if my LAN is in the garage?
deno··on New gTLD Application for .lan
Why would you even want something like “lan” as a global TLD? Does it mean something else than the obvious?

Fortunately there’s no need to speculate as the application explains this clearly:

  AGB Q118: What is the meaning/definition of the applied-for gTLD string?
  Answer: Lan commonly refers to a broadly recognized term used across a wide range of contexts.
deno··on Dots: Always-on agents
Most predictable announcement ever. I would prefer if they just removed scheduled tasks limits instead, at least in Work mode. Just use my usage for crying out loud.
deno··on ChatGPT Pro 500
If it’s small percentage then you could spend just that few dollars in API costs or lower subscription and the rest is profit. So you're not saving anything, just reclassifying that opportunity cost to feel better about your subscription’s value. I know it's pedantic but it's useful to be aware of opportunity cost trying to trick us.
deno··on When did Google get so weird?
You could just have a specialized model that rewrites prose questions to actual search keywords (i.e. what power users do in their heads), and even a 2nd one that does a fitting pass based on intention after querying.

Answering with AI slop is a choice.

deno··on Google Antigravity TOS: 3rd party usage can get Google account suspended
Also word of warning: don't buy Google AI subscription before you confirm you have "Antigravity entitlement" whatever that is.

You can have "verified" account (for 18+ and Gmail), bank card added, active AI Pro subscription, and still you won't be able to use even the free tier of Antigravity.

And their verification is some major AI slop that just doesn't work. This is open from June but this was already a bug in Gemini CLI before then: https://github.com/google-antigravity/antigravity-cli/issues...

deno··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Well it's in AIStudio and Antigravity always the same day even free tier. Chat is usually low priority, especially if you don't have subscription. Are you on Pro/Ultra?
deno··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
You know how the saying goes that you have to pick two out of three: cheap, fast or good? This is all of those. Pretty exciting.

I'll wait for Astra and Grok 4.7 announcements but probably getting at least one Ultra subscription.

Since testing 3.7 on Pro for last two weeks I'm realizing just how long I'm waiting on other models. I've been multitasking to compensate but it's exhausting so I'd rather not.

deno··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Seems maybe you’re keeping a forever-session and multiple independent tasks end up overstaying in context?

I would say either start new sessions for new tasks or limit the context to something smaller than 1M.

I usually start with research/planning session, this goes into a detailed implementation plan and then a new session for the actual implementation.

If it's complex problem maybe a review/adversarial step between plan and implementation.

Also with forever-session any time you take a longer break (depends on model and provider as to how long) you will push an entire big context again without caching even if you don't need it. With 1M context this gets expensive.

deno··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Try updating the app? You should see at least 3.7 I think. It's been available for quite some time.
deno··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
Don’t worry there’s regulation in the works that will mandate how much air you can have in the box[1]. The EU is on the case.

[1] https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:52...

deno··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
That’s cool I didn’t know about EURL. I have researched it before AI and must have missed it or dismissed because of the French language, so my mistake.

But it’s still an exception: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_6a8d8edbe3108191988c5dc978d62d43

Note you still have formal bookkeeping requirements for EURL unlike US LLC.

deno··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
Yes that was my criticism exactly, but US LLC by default has no corporate tax (unless you opt-in for some reason) while still having limited liability. It's why it's so unique.

There's no other country in the world that has anything like that.

People don't realize how insanely business friendly US is compared to rest of the world.

deno··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
You're right I got ahead of myself a bit there.

Yes, you need to pay personal income tax in your tax resident country but that's much easier than formalized bookkeeping and corporate income tax (assuming your LLC is DE which is the default). Also for other taxes like VAT you have to register for and pay those regardless of where your company is registered.

US LLC has no formal bookkeeping requirements but you still need to report distributions and contributions to IRS annually (via fax or certified letter), submit annual statements to your state (but those are just hey I'm still alive not financial statements, they are even free in some states like Montana) and maintain registered agent but that's like $50/year. It's crazy just how easy it is.

The digital part is just about what your business can realistically do without it having local or at least EU based presence in some form.

For once you'll have issues with dealing with local businesses and EU marketplaces rather than government.

For example eBay account is basically impossible without having US address and resident VPN. And you'll constantly worry about getting banned, which is already a worry even if you are legitimate local based business since they too big to have to care about customer support like most big corps.

If you're just selling software or something like that it's much easier. The more you go into physical goods or services realm the more hurdles you will have. You can't hire people for example without having a branch or similar. Same for real estate or some equipment like cars.

Also for some services every local business you invoice will potentially have tax withholding to deal with. This is in particular a problem in Poland which has the strictest tax withholding regulations.

deno··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
If you actually sell intra-EU and deal with multiple currencies 200€/m would be cheap. I'd expect no less than 1000€/m.
deno··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
You need to do double entry bookkeeping and prepare annual financial statements for all of those you've mentioned including UK.

In addition, you cannot register LTD in Ireland yourself, the Company's secretary must be a different person. So either you are now in business with a friend or you pay someone.

For any other member country you also run into a language barrier.

Polish "Sp. z o.o." has ~1150€ (5000 PLN) minimal capital requirement.

Registering entity with corporation tax requirement in any other country also means you would need to defend its tax residency (practically impossible if you don't actually do business there) or you have to pay corporation tax in the country you are actually operating in. It's doable but now you are dealing with two different tax authorities and potentially pay taxes in different currency and you can't have books in multiple currencies so get to have lots of fun.

It's much easier to just register US LLC instead at this point. However if you want to do anything physical not digital you end up having to register and do taxes in your resident country anyway. But you can avoid corporation tax at least and keep limited liability.
