I've tested it extensively for actual local development for my job, and hard disagree here. It's a waste of time to use it. Wish it were not true.

This software has been terrible for me. Burns tokens like crazy, and fails. Most times I try to use the browser plugin, it just says it can't use the plugin. When it does work, it takes minutes to click a button. Unusable workflow.

I ask to generate a png with an alpha channel. It can't. Instead, it outputs a chroma-keyed image, then generates a python script to remove chroma key (fails), then a js script (which also fails). Then my 5h allotment is up.

It's frustrating because if it worked as they advertise, it'd be an amazing tool.

100% agree. I've spent many hours testing out local models/harnesses. So far, they're very much not worth the tradeoff. Obviously, I hope that changes.

Came here to say the same thing. Why add this fake image?

Why did so many people swallow this crap in the first place?

Ah, I think I searched for "jpegxl", that's why there was no match.

"Yes, re-opening.".

> Given these positive signals, we would welcome contributions to integrate a performant and memory-safe JPEG XL decoder in Chromium. In order to enable it by default in Chromium we would need a commitment to long-term maintenance. With those and our usual launch criteria met, we would ship it in Chrome.

I asked Gemini "dymamic view" how SynthID works: https://gemini.google.com/share/62fb0eb38e6b

OK, I just used https://gemini.google.com/app, I wonder if it's the same there.

Ah, I should have mentioned it was a slow motion video.

> The default FPS it's analyzing video at is 1

Source?

I asked it to analyze my tennis serve. It was just dead wrong. For example, it said my elbow was bent. I had to show it a still image of full extension on contact, then it admitted, after reviewing again, it was wrong. Several more issues like this. It blamed it on video being difficult. Not very useful, despite the advertisements: https://x.com/sundarpichai/status/1990865172152660047

Whoa, you can now search clipboard history. Go to Spotlight Search, Command+4. You'll get a list of entries, each with a copy button, and is searchable. Even shows the app it was copied in.

> Take Jeanine Banks, for example, who manages the department that somewhat arbitrarily contains (among other things) Flutter, Dart, Go, and Firebase. Her department nominally has a strategy, but I couldn't leak it if I wanted to; I literally could never figure out what any part of it meant, even after years of hearing her describe it. Her understanding of what her teams are doing is minimal at best; she frequently makes requests that are completely incoherent and inapplicable. She treats engineers as commodities in a way that is dehumanising, reassigning people against their will in ways that have no relationship to their skill set. She is completely unable to receive constructive feedback (as in, she literally doesn't even acknowledge it).

As someone who's very invested in Dart, this really pisses me off to hear.

I guess that's what this tweet is alluding to: https://twitter.com/timsneath/status/1727192477264974273

He reported it in the best way possible. We all know what would have happened if he filed a bug report (especially if they didn't realize it was him).
