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.

Thanks for sharing, it is like seeing a small digital portrait, these old chats showing what a human once said to an AI.

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.

I very much appreciate all of the replies, everyone is sharing their knowledge and it helps me feel more informed on what to do.

Trailer park in California. It's a prefab kit built accessory room. The main part of the trailer is normal, just this accessory room is built out of aluminum panels (about 3' x 9' per panel) and then plenty of single pane windows.

Maybe everyone here can help me. I bought a house with an accessory addon already built, but it's walls and roof are very cheap aluminum. It's a constant source of mold. I'm at the point where I want to demolish it and rebuild properly. Some contractors I've spoken with instead encourage me to just frame out inside the existing aluminum box and get double pane windows instead. I don't think that will solve the problem though, these cheap aluminum panels are so full of mold now how would putting fresh wood over the panels solve anything, in 4 years I'll just have more mold growing over the interior frame out if I don't demolish and rebuild the whole thing with proper moisture barriers on the exterior and underside of the accessory room.

Wow what a crazy game simulation. The worst part about it is the ridiculous starting point we are already at.

I like the concept though. I guess I want to play as a different POTUS.

The app looks neat, my k-5 kids aren't allowed phones yet.

I have the same question. It would be convenient to be able to be a passenger for once without feeling like the world is escaping from me.

Well it's not biology related, but Claude is the only model that has told me things that seem benign are racist or self harming for general conversations. These were not at all in that direction. They were very basic queries about how to reactivate an old app account or a question about the ingredients in a food dish image.

I think it's missing the outflow. Any startup could have a big growth rate, but founders who are empathetic will also have an outflow from their own resources to the resources they are managing, meaning to sustain the growth rate as the years pass more of the earned growth has to be distributed to increase the growth rate. In summary acquiring new customers costs more money the bigger you are.

Drawing a soul sounds inspiring. I could give it a go sometime. When you asked I realized I still hold a mental model of a spirit animal.

The baby app seems cool and useful. I love privacy focused apps!

Now this would be something. But who would take a job so disruptive to their daily life. Like you have to go move out of your house, what about your family, do your kids have to switch school and lose healthcare, plus it's wasting resources on someone who doesn't really need it other than to experience it.
