The tower has caught the rocket!!

I hit Cmd+S on @excalidraw and saw this. OMG this is so cool!! 😍 Did web apps finally get the capability that native apps had since the 60s of storing and reading local files?!? Which API is this??? WANT! Edit: It‘s the File System Access API, thanks @RyanCaoDev! blog.excalidraw.com/browser-fs-acc… I was vaguely aware of it but hadn’t realized the user experience it provides is that smooth. Amazing! 😍

Cloudflare is famous for sourcing randomness from lava lamps, if you wanted to invent your own source of randomness, this week’s challenge is for you!

Continuing with the text wrapping improvements, you can now set the text width even during creation. Simply drag with the text tool. There's a minimum distance before the text enters the wrapped mode so there aren't false positives. By @_ryandi 💜

I’m very excited to share our work on Gemini today! Gemini is a family of multimodal models that demonstrate really strong capabilities across the image, audio, video, and text domains. Our most-capable model, Gemini Ultra, advances the state of the art in 30 of 32 benchmarks, including 10 of 12 popular text and reasoning benchmarks, 9 of 9 image understanding benchmarks, 6 of 6 video understanding benchmarks, and 5 of 5 speech recognition and speech translation benchmarks. Gemini Ultra is the first model to achieve human-expert performance on MMLU across 57 subjects with a score above 90%. It also achieves a new state-of-the-art score of 62.4% on the new MMMU multimodal reasoning benchmark, outperforming the previous best model by more than 5 percentage points. Gemini was built by an awesome team of people from @GoogleDeepMind, @GoogleResearch, and elsewhere at @Google, and is one of the largest science and engineering efforts we’ve ever undertaken. As one of the two overall technical leads of the Gemini effort, along with my colleague @OriolVinyalsML, I am incredibly proud of the whole team, and we’re so excited to be sharing our work with you today! There’s quite a lot of different material about Gemini available, starting with: Main blog post: blog.google/technology/ai/… 60-page technical report authored by th Gemini Team: deepmind.google/gemini/gemini_… In this thread, I’ll walk you through some of the highlights.

Grid mode now easier to work with — cells in groups of five! 🏁 By @arnostPleskot 💜

Has anyone ever made a PC VR spatial audio setup that used fixed speakers in a room so no headphones are necessary? Ideally apps would directly mix for the speakers, but you could also “reverse spatialize” head tracked headphone audio to world locked speakers.
