@AmericanAir Understand and I understand the money you stand to make with a 100% model. It's redeem miles 100% or purchase 100%. AND half the miles cost more than the purchase price. Ideally, there would be a "use miles" option when you purchase (similar to any points program).

@adam3cc Miles being purchased to add to your account would be calculated by our website tool, which would differ from purchasing a fare that would be paid with cash!

@AmericanAir question? how is it that I'm trying to book a flight for my family and TOTAL trip costs $1,012.80 but if I want to use miles to cover HALF (30k miles), it would cost additional $1,234.10 to buy the remaining 41k miles needed???

What a week talking about AI journeys and agents.

Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) best practices 🍌🍌🍌 - Be hyper-specific: The more detail you provide, the more control you have. Instead of "fantasy armor," describe it "ornate elven plate armor, etched with silver leaf patterns, with a high collar and pauldrons shaped like falcon wings." - Fix character consistency drifts: If you notice a character's features begin to drift after many iterative edits, you can restart a new conversation with a detailed description to retain consistency. - Provide context and intent: Explain the *purpose* of the image. For example, "Create a logo for a high-end, minimalist skincare brand" will yield better results than just "Create a logo." - Iterate and refine: Don't expect a perfect image on the first try. Use the conversational nature of the model to make small changes. Follow up with prompts like, "That's great, but can you make the lighting a bit warmer?" or "Keep everything the same, but change the character's expression to be more serious." - Use "semantic negative prompts": Instead of saying "no cars," describe the desired scene positively, "an empty, deserted street with no signs of traffic." - Aspect ratios: When editing, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image generally preserves the input image's aspect ratio. If you upload multiple images with different aspect ratios, the model will adopt the aspect ratio of the *last* image provided. - Control the camera: Use photographic and cinematic language to control the composition. Terms like `wide-angle shot`, `macro shot`, `low-angle perspective`, `85mm portrait lens`, and `Dutch angle` give you precise control over the final image.

What a crazy week in AI 🤯 - xAI Grok Code Model - Lindy AI Agent Builder - Microsoft VibeVoice TTS - NVIDIA New Jetson Thor - Kling 2.1 Start/End Frames - OpenAI Brings Codex to IDE - Google’s Nanobanana Editor - Anthropic Claude for Chrome Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know:

@stuffbreaker YES! Love it. Your design system is a product. It also needs product market fit. Are you understanding the demand for your system, circles of influence and adoption marketing needed?

🌶️🌶️ HOT TAKE🌶️🌶️ Your users of #DesignSystems are not the users of your application, they are the beneficiaries. The devs implementing the system are your users. The worse that UX is, the less likely your design system will successfully be implemented.

I am not a UI designer. But with CodeGuide + Claude + v0 I've cracked the UI design workflow. This design is purely coded with AI in 13 minutes. Let me explain my NEW UI design workflow: ↓

Claude can now control and talk directly to blender, create 3D scenes at lightning speeds who will build an MPC for Unreal or Unity?
