Tatum recognizing Hugo! Awesome video grab! Thanks @NoaDalzell best celtics beat writer around!
Jayson Tatum crashed Hugo Gonzalez’s postgame scrum: Tatum: ā€œWhat I’d tell you yesterday? Hugo: ā€œI can’t say right now.ā€ Tatum: ā€œThat you’re a bad motherf***er.ā€

Excited to try this!
šŸ“’ ICYMI: you can now use the @GeminiApp to create @Google Slides from a URL, a PDF document, an outline, a brief description, or more. All you have to do is select "Canvas", type "Please create a slide deck about..." and add the topic, then wait and export to Slides:

This is a very thoughtful post worth reading
When it comes to AI, says Keith Ballinger of @Google, developers need to slow down to speed up the process: write clear guides for AI agents, focus on architecture and create a project plan. thenewstack.io/stop-writing-…

.@Google released their new learning platform called skills.google. It has some awesome content for developers including on Gemini Code Assist and Gemini CLI. Some of the learning paths looks really interesting.

The innovation speed is shocking!
This is insane! The new Gemini Flash model released yesterday has the same accuracy as o3, but it is 2x faster and 4x cheaper for browser agent tasks. I ran evaluations the whole day and could not believe this. The previous gemini-2.5-flash had only 71% on this benchmark.

I love this prediction, bold but also possible. I will definitely look at Koog. That said I haven't seen much on JetBrains AI Agent integration. @JamesWard is also very credible dev rel person who has seen a lot of change over the years.

I know most people here won’t believe it, but I can guarantee you that in 2 years, the majority of AI Agent workloads will run on the JVM.

I always liked hearing what the "Super Bowl" on an industry is, for instance I've heard more liquor sales are for superbowl weekend than any other weekend or black friday for retailers, I have to assume Back to School is the superbowl for @StaplesStores

This might be helpful for editing the pods and videos @macielph_ and @tdesseyn I'm sure not as skillful but pretty cool x.com/venturetwins/status/19…

Cursor for video editing is here. The new Underlord agent from @descript is insanely good at automating edits. Upload a clip and describe what you want changed - like "cut out pauses and filler words" or "add captions." The agent does it for you. A quick example šŸ‘‡

Love this! Jay Wright's coaching philosophy at Villanova – evaluatingĀ the season based on effort and mastery, as opposed to results alone, measure and improve effort, improves results, that said sorry to see Thibs get the šŸŖ“
Where Is Your Mindset After Something Bad Happens? This is how Jay Wright’s teams charted ā€œAttitudeā€ throughout a game: On Offense: extra passes, assists, screen assists, offensive rebounds, tap backs, paint passes, paint catches, and quick outlets. On Defense: defensive boards, contested shots, blocked shots, charges, dives, steals, and deflections. Clearly, Wright is evaluating more than points scored, and this is important because it means Wright is evaluatingĀ process,Ā not just results. It is clear from the above that Wright focuses on effort goals, not just outcome goals. Perhaps, that process orientation can explain Wright's two championships in three years. But, even if Wright's team fell short of a title, that is not how he measured the success of a season (again- he measures his season by effort goals, not outcome goals). According to Wright, when they sat down and judged theirĀ season at theĀ end,Ā they evaluated the following: How did we play from start to finish– did we get better? How hard did our guys play night in and night out? How hard didĀ we practice? How close did we getĀ our players to their potential? Jay Wright's coaching philosophy at Villanova – evaluatingĀ the season based on effort and mastery, as opposed to results alone,Ā may be something that all coaches can learn from to improve their coaching.
