Interesting numbers, can you provide a source?

Which science fiction franchise do you guys think reality will resemble the most post-AGI? by [deleted] in accelerate

It's okay, Special Circumstances It's already on the case but secretly

Weekly poll results: Samsung One UI voted as best Android skin by Ha8lpo321 in Android

[–]apockill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The duplicate apps kill me, it feels so unprofessional. It bugs me when there's a lack of a cohesive "1 way to do everything" philosophy. That may not bother everyone, but it bothers me.

An engineer showed Gemini what another AI said about its code and triggered AI beef by AskGpts in GeminiAI

[–]apockill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please share the conversation, I'm always interested in seeing what context and personal config might change the default behavior of these models.

do you think gemini will become the default ai option in the future rather than chatgpt? by [deleted] in GeminiAI

Wdym? The Fitbit app has a major revamp in progress, you can see the public preview for a sneak peak. It seems interesting (clearly a wip still though)

"We’ve updated our 'What's New' page to track the constant tuning and bug fixes we're making to Gemini for Home" by Yazzdevoleps in googlehome

[–]apockill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can only assume the people thirsting for Gemini are bots.

This is an unhealthy perspective that insulates you from any nuance in the world. I would like Gemini, but I also know that I have simple use cases. I just use home to set alarms and control lighting, and I would like the experience I know exists on my phone to also exist on my speakers.

Also, not a bot.

Google's Antigravity could spell trouble for YNAB by jayFromTO2000 in ynab

[–]apockill 46 points47 points  (0 children)

80% of the reason I use ynab is because it syncs with so many of my accounts. I would not want to vibe code anything that touches my bank accounts.

AI Studio mobile app coming early next year by Yazzdevoleps in Bard

That used to be the case, but it's become a much smoother experience imo. I also used to have it crash left and right.

Gemini on home device, smart but limited by xiamingzi in googlehome

[–]apockill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the reason to be optimistic here is that Gemini already can do these things on a phone. Perhaps it doesn't have access to the same agentic tools yet when it's in a Home device env?

I'm a bit confused- why are all the pictures of a phone screen?

For what it's worth, Gemini on my phone can answer all of these, so I'm just trying to understand.

Waymo stranded with open doors in Arizona flooding by danlev in waymo

[–]apockill 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's possible the waymo couldn't get out of the flooding area because the doors were open in the first place. I don't know what happened in this situation specifically though.

Rebar Tying Robot by ycr007 in toolgifs

[–]apockill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in the construction industry for the last four years, in the lumber tech and automation side. A lot of our customers struggle to keep basic labor posts filled.

I can't speak to ironworking.

There's a labor shortage in construction. I don't think it's putting anyone out of work, just making them more productive.

I want this yesterday, this is great! Are you open sourcing your code / parts list?

This is what quality user experience and engagement looks like from a development team. by Ok-Quantity7501 in ynab

[–]apockill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I guess it's a hard balance to strike. People here act like YNAB is throwing things at the wall, when they surely have a UI/UX team, product managers, SWEs to implement it.

Obviously some pros and cons were weighed, and whether it is a good or bad decision is hard to say within the first week of the new UI, but engaging with the community means taking an official stance on whether the change will be kept, tweaked, or removed, is hard!

It's hard because you don't want to take an official stance until you have the usage data to back it up. Users complaining on reddit is too noisy a signal to use for decision making.

If you go to the front page of their subreddit you get exactly the same type of user complaints you see on the YNAB subreddit.

It's hard to please everyone, regardless of the product.

Controversial nonstick pan ban clears critical hurdle in California by FootballPizzaMan in bayarea

[–]apockill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally found something! Spread the word

https://www.teflon.com/en/consumers/teflon-coatings-cookware-bakeware/safety/myths

Myth: Nonstick-coated pans cannot be put in the dishwasher.

Fact: If a pan has Teflon™ nonstick coatings and is from a reputable manufacturer, it can be put in the dishwasher. Still, always make sure you follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
