FYI, this is the famed nano-banana model which has been now renamed to gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview in LMArena.
This is what i came here to find out. Thanks.

Amazing flick that just sticks with you for some reason - I wish we had more the these black comedies.
A tree cutting tool.
Take photos of the tree from 6 different angles, feed into a 3D model generator, erode the model and generate a 3D graph representation of the tree.
The tool suggests which cuts to make and where, given a restricted fall path (e.g. constrained by a neighbors yard on one side).
I create the fallen branches in their final state along the fall plane, and create individual correction vectors mapping them back to their original state, but in an order that does not intersect other branch vectors.
The idea came to me as a particularly difficult tree needed to come down in my friends yard, and we spent hours planning it out. I've already gotten some interest from the tree-surgeon community, I just need to appify it.
Second rendition will treat the problem more as a physics one than a graph one, with some energy-minimisation methods for solving.
This is great idea - I have a huge tree in front yard that will either cost be $5-10k to come down or was going to rent lift and do it myself - A few particular branches scare me though in terms of how they will come down... Bonus points for where to tie things off.

I wish they would have been more concentrated with their approach versus this spray and pray route (ie test chick-fil-a from different parts of the country and done it 1000 times so customers could actually impact a change to the biggest offenders). Would happily pay to crowdsource a much bigger project here.
After seeing how many porta potties at playgrounds never have their hand sanitizer filled, I have come to grips with fecal matter being a part of the gig

Bravo. After all this and using the tool what are some takeaways on ai and how it will disrupt (or not) these very same companies?

I have been looking for something like this. To clarify it doesn't show pedestrians or bikes hit by cars? ( I live near a stretch of road that I know has several white bike memorials but this does not see to not have them there..)

Just listened to a podcast episode where they discussed this David Eagleman and Aza Raskin

"If we meet extraterrestrials someday, how will we figure out what they're saying? We currently face this problem right here at home: we have 2 million species of animals on our planet... and we have no Google Translate for any of them. We’re not having conversations with (or listening to podcasts by) anyone but ourselves. Join Eagleman and his guest Aza Raskin to see the glimmer of a pathway that might get us to animal translation, and relatively soon."

I wish Denver (I live here) and other cities would just start their own subsidized bike networks to compete with Lime and Uber bikes.

Just as a heads up. Make sure you get a real pro to do the sizing on your unit.
I put in two Mitsubishi H2i systems last year and have had some pretty insane energy bills due to sizing them too large (A general overview of why here: https://carbonswitch.com/heat-pump-sizing-guide/)
Once I get my solar in place I won't feel too bad about this, but for now has been a bummer as was expecting a real efficient beast.
