👉Mon fils étant dysgraphique et dyspraxique, il doit utiliser un PC en cours plutôt que d'écrire à la main. C'est compliqué pour les maths et la géométrie, et on n'a trouvé aucun logiciel facile à utiliser. Donc j'ai créé une appli web dédiée : dysmaths.com (...)

📢Just released v0.8.0 of my #Gemini Interactions API for #Java, with a new tool: Google Maps 🗺️ #built-in-tools-google-maps" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/glaforge/gemin…

Lots of great Gemini API updates shipping today 🛠️ 1. Built-in tools (search, maps, file search) now work with function calling 2. We now do context circulation with built-in tools for better model performance 3. Grounding with Google Maps now works with Gemini 3!!

Introducing Radiant: 80+ production-ready shaders and visual effects for the web. 0 dependencies, MIT license. - multiple color themes - ultra-realistic simulations - webgl and 2d canvas Pick one, copy source, integrate, ship. radiant-shaders.com

It's FINALLY working as I expect: - Open @GeminiApp - Attach a Google doc - Enable Canvas - Prompt: "Create a slide deck for the document" *wait a bit* - Click "Export to Slides" PROFIT.

@ponceto91 @lesnums C'est vrai qu'il ne reste plus beaucoup de place au contenu vu toute la pub, les encarts, etc 😂

Une torture plus grande est de lire cet article de @lesnums, entre la police de caractère trop petite et illisible, 25% de pubs en haut, 25% de pubs en bas, des popups intrusives de vidéos ou pubs diverses, ...

Vendredi soir, Patterns et anti-patterns du développement IA agentique !

The current "MCP is dead discourse" is my current favorite example of the really annoying "simplicity" brainrot that's been plaguing tech for a while On paper "just use a cli agents already know bash" sounds really good. It makes sense and is true, but it misses the bigger picture: > how do they know about the commands + their shape? > just put it in your agents md file or make a skill > ok, so then what happens if the cli's shape changes > well then u just update the markdown file > fine let's pretend people will actually do that (they will not) and this actually works, how are you going to scope authentication and authorization? > use the cli auth tools like what AWS has > ok so we need eng's or agents to be manually making sure every project switches the auth to the correct scopes for each project so that prod can't get vibe killed and then to connect to our internal services over cli in cloud agents we need to run basic agents in sandboxes now b/c we're not using mcp and... You get the point. It sounds really simple, and it is in the toy case, but in the real world an external API gated through MCP is actually way simpler, more secure, and manageable in a lot of cases. This post & article from @GergelyOrosz is a very good example: x.com/GergelyOrosz/s… It's the same thing with the $5 VPS or htmx or postgres or whatever other "simple" enlightened solution that works great in dumb indie hacker demos while making zero sense in the real world. I hate to break it to you guys, but there's no conspiracy. If modern tech solutions really were over complex slop do u really think these companies wouldn't take the free win to just do it the "simple" way? There are tons of problems with the tech, but it exists for a reason. I like CLIs a lot, and in a lot of cases skills make sense, clis make sense, etc. There are a lot of ways to do things, and they all solve different problems. But no, MCP is not dead. It or something like it isn't going anywhere. And there are a lot of good new ideas of how to make it better! Dumping an MCP with 60+ random tools into context sucks I completely agree and needs to be fixed. A lot of the code run solutions are very compelling like @RhysSullivan 's executor, cloudflare's code mode, and others. There are ways to fix this, but a "god mode bash tool" isn't it.

I love introducing kids or adults to @ElectricityMaps and let them draw their conclusions.

Ramsey numbers are notoriously hard. Amazing to see AlphaEvolve improve bounds for 5 classical Ramsey numbers - some for the first time in 10+ years - by discovering search procedures itself. A big milestone in AI for maths - congrats to the team!

Big QoL! Spend caps are rolling out for the Gemini API!! Please go set a cap and send us any feedback as you use them! - Spend caps can have up to a 10 minute delay before taking effect - We are working to bring this latency down over time - We are shortly rolling out email notifications when you hit caps - Spend caps are experimental so pls send us feedback on things you want here

@antonarhipov @getsome_air There are some issues with non QWERTY keyboards. I have a French AZERTY keyboard: I can type my letters fine in the editor, but it seems the shortcuts are as if they were QWERTY. So when I do CMD-A to select all, it understands CMD-Q and wants to quit, etc.

I have some promo codes for @getsome_air - a new agentic development environment (ADE) where you can work with multiple AI coding agents in one place. Comment "ADE" for a special promo code, and follow me so I could send it to you in DM

Start building with Gemini Embedding 2, our most capable and first fully multimodal embedding model built on the Gemini architecture. Now available in preview via the Gemini API and in Vertex AI.

Fixing AI Slop with a Skill in Gemini CLI glaforge.dev/posts/2026/03/… < we can sniff out AI-generated text in many cases. @glaforge built a skill that uses known elements of "sloppiness" and rewrites text that sounds more like normal human writing.

Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs). We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company. We're hiring! [the background image is the Veil Nebula - a picture I took from my backyard, most appropriate for an unveiling] More details here: techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/yan…
