This exists, the standard is called C2PA, Google added support for it in the Pixel 10. I was surprised and disappointed that Apple didn’t add support for it in the most recent iPhone! A few physical cameras are starting to support it too (

Gemini 3.0 isn't broadly available inside Google. There's are "Gemini for Google" fine-tuned versions of 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash, but there's been no broad availability of any 3.0 models yet. Source: I work at Google

Both possible and trivially easy. Just don’t sign into an Apple account.

ChatGPT and Claude are mistaken if they think it is incorrect. The parallelism in verb tenses is between "continuing to deliver" and "improving the efficiency". It's a bit wordy, but definitely not wrong.

For high level endurance athletes, eating enough can be a difficult task. I wouldn’t quite categorize diets like the one described in https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/23/sports/olympics/cross-cou...

Disclaimer: I work at Google but not on cloud. Opinions my own. I think the reason this doesn’t get prioritized is that large customers don’t actually want a “stop serving if I pass this limit” amount. If there’s a spike in traffic, they pr

Gemini 2.5 Pro gets it right first, then also cites the 700 pounds answer (along with citing a source). https://g.co/gemini/share/c695a0163538

Gemini has had 4 families of models, in order of decreasing size: - Ultra - Pro - Flash - Flash-Lite Versions with `-Preview` at the end haven't had their "official release" and are technically in some form of "early acc

It has DRM and there is no way to read books from there except on their iOS and android apps and maybe the website (ereaders are excluded entirely at least for now - i think they’re hoping to add Kobo support eventually)

Strongly disagree that Facebook games were the peak. To me that was classic flash games like nitrome.com

All the time, it is incredibly useful to send a doc for comments, which can be attached to the relevant piece of text. I use shared editing less often, but I find it's especially useful in incident response where there may be multiple

I don't disagree that disregarding the Supreme Court is essentially a type of coup. However, the power which is being contested here is a power that the Supreme Court invented for itself out of whole cloth: judicial review was born in

How does this compare with e.g. Tailscale?

I would love if this were implemented. For one thing it would prevent insane App Store rejections like [this]( https://mastodon.social/@vandal/112167322002780991 ) which actively requires using an in-app browser. I wish

The biggest one is that Apple allows local storage to last longer than 7 days for webpages installed as apps on the home screen, but deletes local storage for ordinary websites 7 days after they are last opened.

I wish this had an API to be used via other weather apps. There are many native iOS weather apps whose interface I prefer to the Google Search app, and I'm sure the big ones (like Carrot Weather) would add this as a weather source if i

Using a third party app and capturing native raw photos helps avoid that mushy post processed look. It trades it off for more noise, but the trade off is worth it imo. Halide is my app of choice but there are a number of good ones.

For me, who’s made the decision to live 1.1 miles from the office, my commute (either biking or walking) is a positive benefit. During Covid WFH I would try to get out for a similar length of walk in the morning, but it’s better for my brai
