From my own personal usage, Gemini 3 Fast is the best model in terms of speed, usage, and capability. Gemini 3 Fast > Gemini 3 Pro > Claude > Open AI 5 > Grok 4.1

Ofc this changes once each company releases new models. I only use their main web chat ui. However Claude's artifact and multiple revisions seems to also get job done. So if had claude's artifact revision system for other tools, I think other tools would be much better.

Flash is distilled Gemini 3 to fit a size. It's not bad but for coding, Opus 4.5 still takes the cake in capability. The main issue as always is cost to use and even if Opus 4.5 and later models starting next year could replace engineers, I don't think over the long term it is sustainable because training runs are just costing more and more to do. Even Google's pricing now is out of control even though they control costs the best with custom software and hardware. Compare pic related and https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/gemini-3 for Flash usage prices. They literally 10x and you can't use the older models anymore.

>>107640490
>is distilled
Nope. Fast is RL trained and is not a distilled model. Dev specifically said it on X in response to the claim that their Fast model is better than Pro model. They had trained Gemini 3 Pro earlier so it wasn't trained with newer RL methods and their Fast version trained with RL.

ITT we share helpful firefox user_prefs that make it better. I'll start.

user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.warning.timeout", 0);

This removes the annoying banner saying press ESC to exit fullscreen every time you fullscreen a yt video.

user_pref("media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.has-used", true);
user_pref("browser.engagement.downloads-button.has-used", true);

With this in your user.js before you open the browser it won't popup instructions on obvious features. I have a pretty big user.js based on betterfox that disables telemetry and toggles all the settings the way I like them so it's completely configured on install without doing anything, and then I've added a bunch of minor quality of life conveniences like these. Share yours anons.

>Programming language deals with *combining* computing operations.
also, combining stuff is what languages in the formal sense (in the purely syntactic sense) (regular languages, context free grammars) are all about combining stuff
syntax is different than semantics but in programming languages semantics are coupled with the syntax
in PLs you can syntactically nest expressions as much as you want and when you do the compiler will combine as many primitive operations as needed in order to evaluate that expression

In other words, programming is all about combining primitive operations that will get executed by real hardware in the end, directly if the language is natively compiled or indirectly if it is bytecode interpreted, and formal languages are all about combining strings so they are the perfect to tool to express the combination of primive computing operations that overall makes a program.

>you should have a permissive parse actually, the semantic passes have more hope of emitting descriptive error messages than just syntax errors
I completely agree. There are 2 kind of minimal syntaxes: the highly composable and permissive one, and the unnecessarily restricted one. I assumed it was the 2nd one for some reason.

Sometimes the badly complex grammars incorporate semantic rules directly in the grammar rules. For example in C, where you can't put function or type definitions in function bodies. That's bad. The grammar become complex and bloated for no reason because all this stuff is not hard to deal with during name resolution.

It can also be useful to have a very permissive syntax for macros or for the type system.
For example, you might want to pass a conditional statement/expresson or a while loop as argument to a macro call, in order to construct a function definition. For that you need to parse while loops as expressions. This mean you can write non sensical things in the language such as 2 + while (1) { ... } that will parse correctly but this is trivial to reject a program like that by the type checker if you assign the type void (or similar) to while loops

Concerning types, it's useful to be able to put arbitrary expressions in grammar rules relating to types so that you can maybe have dependent or refined types later. Or for compile time stuff, debugging stuff, reflection stuff, etc..

I had a question if anyone works in healthcare IT. I currently work as a receptionist and have done medical billing in the past. I'm looking to get an associate's in health informatics and get RHIT certified, so I can move onto jobs like becoming a revenue cycle analyst/specialist, or working as a health information technician. I am planning to pursue a bachelor's in the future, but I want to get my foot in the door first before pursuing it. is it worth it to get the associate's so I can get certified as an RHIT?

I just want a stable system with AB updates because I don't trust any distro maintainer on Earth not to fuck my shit up at some point, regardless of the distro. This is the best solution I've found to the problem. Fedora, one version behind, AB updates, containers trivial to create and use OOTB, SELinux configured (to a degree) OOTB and layering so I can use the Fedora repos when I need to (mostly for installing a browser). Just about everything else I do from a flatpak, which I just backup by a list so I can restore them from an xargs command whenever I backup my system.
That's why I use that system. It meets my specific needs and I've been using it long enough to understand its pros and cons.
>>107637350
>its literally perfect for a usecase like that
I could use Nix to do what I do now, but for running a desktop it just seems pointless to me. I don't need identical desktops across multiple systems or anything like that. It can be perfect for something like this, but it's a different philosophy and overkill for what I need. Nix is individualistic, creating and deploying your own system deterministically. The atomic Fedora spins are to keep lots and lots of unrelated computers using the same configurations to a degree most people on /g/ find annoying. But it means that the guy who's testing your bug report probably has almost the exact same system as the one you're running. And that you have almost the exact same system as the guys maintaining the distro.
Two tools that do a lot of the same jobs differently, but have strengths in different areas.
>>
>>107637404
It's 13 months of support with a release every 6 months. The mainline universalblue/bazzite/bluefin stay a version behind Fedora so they get 7 months support (from the Fedora repos). I think there are also some universal blue spins based on the CentOS stream or maybe Alma/Rocky Linux that would be the equivalent to a LTS, but I don't know if they're still doing that or they were just testing the idea out.
