deepseek kind of innovated on this using off-the-shelf components right ?

to quote from their paper "In order to ensure sufficient computational performance for DualPipe, we customize efficient cross-node all-to-all communication kernels (including dispatching and combining) to conserve the number of SMs dedicated to communication. The implementation of the kernels is codesigned with the MoE gating algorithm and the network topology of our cluster."

the Qualcomm Adreno 750 GPU is a Snapdragon Gen 3 device. This is basically an android device.

I wonder why Valve is maintaining a separate linux and driver fork for this. Snapdragon Gen 3 android game SDK works very well...including Windows emulation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hsQ_-8HV6g

not saying what Valve is doing is not spectacular. But i cant help but wonder if it isnt a more productive use of their resources to mainline this in Android ? Maybe even accelerate the Desktop Android merge (which Qualcomm is pushing ! https://www.theverge.com/news/784381/qualcomm-ceo-seen-googl...)

Android that is Valve compatible will further Valve's goals of open platforms than maintaining their own fork.

I...worked on the detailed Nano Banana prompt engineering analysis for months (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45917875)...and...Google just...Google released a new version.

Nano Banana Pro should work with my gemimg package (https://github.com/minimaxir/gemimg) without pushing a new version by passing:

    g = GemImg(model="gemini-3-pro-image-preview")
I'll add the new output resolutions and other features ASAP. However, looking at the pricing (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing#standard_1), I'm definitely not changing the default model to Pro as $0.13 per 1k/2k output will make it a tougher sell.

EDIT: Something interesting in the docs: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-generation#think...

> The model generates up to two interim images to test composition and logic. The last image within Thinking is also the final rendered image.

Maybe that's partially why the cost is higher: it's hard to tell if intermediate images are billed in addition to the output. However, this could cause an issue with the base gemimg and have it return an intermediate image instead of the final image depending on how the output is constructed, so will need to double-check.

this is pretty cool! have you found success with image editing in nano banana - i mean photoshop-like stuff. from your article i seem to wonder if nano banana is good for editing versus generating new images.

Working at a company that uses react-native I wish nothing more than for the end of app stores and differing platform languages.

We're heavily considering just having a website next year with a mobile app using webview, and then native code for the native notifications, GPS and healthkit / health connect.

I feel like AI is changing the equation, its nearly better to write your business UI 3 times one for each platform.

What competitor have you actually tried? My girlfriend’s parents have a few cheap TPlink solar powered CCTV and they work flawlessly since setup. I used to jerryrig an Android phone for Alfred and that too worked well.

My impression is live feed is a solved problem.

i have a tplink as well and can vouch for it. it has iphone and android apps and can show live feed. mine costed 30$ and free live video.

so mermaidjs has the concept of layout engines - https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mermaid-js/layout-elk

have you considered implementing your algorithm as a (better) auto-layout engine for mermaidjs ?

totally this.

recently posted my opensource enterprise browser on producthunt - https://www.producthunt.com/products/wootzapp-ai-enforced-en...

did decently (but not in top 10). I got a lot of the same linkedin comments with "we even gave you some reviews for free to show we are serious". Said no to them and that turned into retribution.

started getting negative comments https://postimg.cc/n9tDDB0S . had to stay up all night to reply to negative comments with link to my github showing the source :(

for some reason they all deleted themselves (or got removed). not sure.

The discussion is mostly around battery life. How's the battery life on your Yoga, how much power does it lose on standby, and what operating system do you use?
sandGorgon · 3 months ago
windows. all day battery life. holds up pretty well to the macbook air 15 at similar workloads. macbook does get 1-1.5 hour more battery life. The lunar lake is an insane chip.
