I have a paid (lowest grade) Google workspace account and I recently gave Gemini a copy of a text agenda and asked it to pop out slides with references for me. I got back 11 slides with nice references to all the state laws relevant to the agenda topics and some graphics it found online too corresponding to the agenda topics.
Did you not ask it from the Gemini web interface? Did you try to use the one already built into Google slides? It looks like you already had slides open and used it's magic button... I didn't I went straight to the Gemini app online.
Most of the users of phones seem to operate on the no idea what's going on model. It's on developers to meet them where they are at, and if that's the app store you better be there for them.
A teaching assistant recommended I find monthly presentations or department events to attend (can be slightly broader than just CS, think Physics dept, Electrical Engineering, Mech Engineering) and from attending those events I found a lab to hire me as an undergrad assistant.
Eventually that had me in enough contact with grad students I decided to do grad school too on the same topic as the undergrad lab assistant position. That turned into my career. I highly recommend going to small department presentations and events. Plus there is usually free food involved.
Did you have any issues with screen orientation? I have a waveshare round display in one of my projects too, they are great looking. Mine had an issue with wire orientation where I needed to have the wire emerge from the bottom of the display, but then I needed to rotate the picture to properly handle the rotation. It was tricky to get that working smoothly.
Also the display cuts off the corners on mine. Does it do the same for you? I'm not too bothered by it but it's only good for running custom SW where it's okay to be missing the corners.
Really curious to imagine what these AI-adjacent abominations could be. Some sort of people conveyor belt we have to work on while rotating past other humans to achieve maximum 'collaboration' perhaps? Offices built into semi trucks so we get picked up and crammed together with our laptops and screens? When will it stop!
Is Gareth the cat in the picture at the top? Is the cat writing the blog post? I agree with the sentiment of the article but it doesn't have a solution. Everyone has to hustle to make it work.
I really appreciate you highlighting exactly how exceptionally flat Kansas is. I've never thought of a place as flat for Kansas, now I'll pay more attention when driving through it. I was already startled by how far horizons seem in Kansas.
I'm guessing since the map is price limited there are likely many more properties out west except they are higher priced? $800 for a small chunk of vacant land behind something industrial near what looks like a lonely highway exit somewhere inland California. Then the East half has lots of reasonable looking homes. I hope the people left behind and homeless are getting by.
The name is exciting to me. I've been a multiple time robot vacuum owner and it does have an appeal to be able to see a fresh build dissected like this. Why not contribute to this project instead of having a go all on my own, except of course with my AI helpers. I could pick the vacuum control board for the motors and sensors. I have some thoughts on brushes too.
It's a good point, vibe coding does lend itself to fast splitting among developers with the intent of recombining quickly too into a larger project.
Micron stock buy, sell in one year. Memory is getting very pricey, it is the wooden handles of the 'when everyone digs for gold, make money from selling shovels'. Perhaps Nvidia is the decently shaped metal shovel head.
I like how this blog is encouraging the sharing of conversations with AI. It is endlessly surprising to me how other people use AI. So often I think I would never have thought of that! But occasionally I say, Hey I did the same thing! With this read it was the travel itinerary, it's really helpful to find places to stop while driving.
This is a very deserving use of the word ironic. What are the odds it finds other AI written blog posts? How long before it crafts you a custom blog author for you to enjoy.
The new chip sounds like it's vustom made to accelerate a few specific models they really need to run fast. The advantage is it's truly and ASIC, not a xPU. There are several new startups targeting EDA tooling automation, Chip Agents is the biggest one I can think of but their are smaller players too, Silimate is one I recall. These companies are focusing on building fast AI powered tools to speed up the tape out cycle.
The grant application process is wild now, half the questions I'm to respond to feel AI generated as well. I feel certain that the reviewers are just taking my responses and feeding them.into another AI to evaluate too.
The charts showing vitamin D not helping, but also slightly hurting make the topic more relevant. The title is almost too flippant of the conclusions which is don't just take more than necessary,because it's likely to actively cause harm not just slightly increase your vitamin D.
This makes me wonder why the AI economy is considered a bubble when we already did an advertising supported internet as a bubble. The whole ad supported internet seemed to have such low drivers of revenue to the advertisers (at least as far as I can tell without people clicking on ads), compared to today's success with AI subscriptions.
Might VR boxing be a possible alternative to actually being hit? I don't think our brains distinguish well between actually being hurt and feeling the stress of the game. For instance I used to study for tests while my husband played violent video games with loud sounds because all the screaming was stressful for me and so was actually taking the test. So the combination of studying under stress and taking the test under stress helped me retain the knowledge better.
Digging 4' deck footings or shoveling 3/4" clear stones all day? It sounds like a recipe for back injury, we should all figure out how to use technology to solve these problems for us instead. I do appreciate the sentiment though. Sometimes just doing it yourself is more satisfying than watching a machine work.
