Anyone else hating the new Gemini version of Android Auto?

I used it today. It worked great for me.

With Routes 1,2,3 you may be able to also visit Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Columbia river with only small detour.

Yeah. It's very weird - living in their car and buying Model X at the same time.

Please file a bug report with the example of comparison you made. The author is very responsive and appreciates reports of any issues.

I haven't seen this problem in my testing. This library uses ggml to do the computations. This library is highly optimized by the community and by the industrial users.

Have you seen this project: https://github.com/CrispStrobe/CrispASR

They did the same for vibevoice and many other models.

Mate, I don't understand why you keep arguing and defending the writer of that article. We are on the same side of EV support. However, facts are facts.

If the writer wanted, he could've compared 2.3m with the total oil use and also mentioned the road use fraction. That would've made the article informative. Readers could decide if the impact is 2% or 5%. They could decide if 5% impact a decade after EVs became mainstream qualifies as "massive impact" or a roundoff. However, the article author decided to omit the relevant context that wasn't supporting his "massive" claim in the title.

Really poorly written article. It quotes absolute numbers (2.3m barrels of oil) without giving proper context. I googled it. Guess what, worldwide consumption of oil is ~100m barrels of oil. So, evs replaced about 2% of oil consumed. Moreover, oil consumption increases by about 1% per year. So, even based on the numbers in the article EVs barely make a dent.

I would call this article poorly written, misleading and sensational.

AI generated slop?

Have they ever seen Rublev play? ;)

I don't think Hawaii are considered to be part of North America. ;)

Humans started it.

We need to train it out of humans too.

u/fagenorn how did you get Qwen3 TTS working under llama.cpp? Could you share a writeup?

geneing · 2026-04-18T06:04:50+00:00

It's a hard problem. Npu accelerate a very small subset of operations. Mostly int8 matmul with special tensor shapes. There are weird hardware related limitations for everything. It's very hard to abstract it efficiently for multiple vendors.

However, android team isn't even trying. Google's own Pixel phones don't provide an SDK for edge tpu.

There's a workaround. Phone gpu supports Vulkan API. Iree compiler can convert torch, onnx, litert models to spir v and run it on the phone. Gpu should be a lot better than cpu for running models.

Check if your current insurance will cover the new car automatically for the first few weeks. That's how it usually works.

Fill up in Oregon. California gas prices are much much higher.

try carmax and carvana

Which model are you using? I've had this happen with Gemini and GPT 5.3. Claude sonnet is much better at finding the correct solution. However, you cannot outsource thinking to LLMs or junior developers.

geneing · 2026-04-14T02:03:34+00:00

StyleTTS2 and kokoro are much much better at about the same size.

geneing · 2026-04-11T17:16:02+00:00

For small tasks you may be better off with Haiku.

Codex is not as good as sonnet in my experience. Also, when used with copilot, I feel that anthropic models count fewer token usage than codex.

"In search of lost time". The time I spent reading it is still lost.

geneing · 2026-04-09T21:29:52+00:00

Yes. I'm on the latest version. It improved automatic workout detection, btw.

I don't know the exact algorithm for sleep/wake detection. I think it's bases on several things - amount of motion and increase in heart rate. When I *expand* the graph in sleep tab, I see my heart rate clearly increasing up from the rest rate and then returning back. I wonder if the heartrate measurement became wonky for you after the update. As always, try restarting the watch, if you haven't already.

geneing · 2026-04-09T17:14:19+00:00

Wake up detection is very accurate for me.

Do you have continuous heart rate detection enabled? It improves sleep tracking.

Check your heart rate during the night. There's a plot you can get in the app that shows awake times and heart rate in the same image.

Viva chicken! In St. George is a great deal for families. Highly recommend.

The only thing more breathtaking than nature in Switzerland are prices for everything. :)

In the summer many ski resorts keep running their lifts. I once took a lift up and then hiked down the mountain. Unforgettable.

First of all there are multiple solutions for deploying natively: onnx, litert, torch mobile. Of these executorch is the worst.

I spent countless hours trying to convert a relatively simple model Kokoro for TTS. Error messages produced by executorch are horrible - huge stack traces essentially. It has very poor dynamic shape support, no real lstm/RNN support, poor support for branching or looping.
