Here is a first look on the Flutter client for Android/Windows (and maybe iOS at some point :D) for veilspan.com MUD you can download development builds at veilspan.com/app Also a sneak peak at the Terminal UI experience that comes in the flutter client. Might do a proper "lets play" soon to explain it a bit and play through the first areas til Oldtown. Enjoy! Btw. i now got the web client+mobile web, flutter mobile app (+TUI) and also got an wip SSH mode for terminals as well :D many ways to play the game! #MUD #Indiedev #Gamedev #RPG #MMORPG

Okay, now things get crazy: they have another unreleased Gemini model that's even better than Carbon. And Carbon has already reached number 1 in the AA Intelligence Index today. It looks like Google has taken a significant step towards RSI!
Gemini [redacted] isn't yet here though

As the prophecy foretold, Starship 42 will be the first tower catch
Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our latest frontier model. Carbon delivers improved performance across domains — ranking #1 on v5.0 of the @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index and sets a new state-of-the-art in cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities. It’s rolling out starting this week to cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program, with expanded access coming soon 🧵

Annndddd Google is in the lead.... Absurd gains from Argon to Carbon.
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago. Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.

Impressive
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model. Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching. We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards. As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

quota reset hit and my bot studio is back on pirates bay palooza 3d. same pirate beach-bar tycoon as the pixel version, rebuilt in unity 6 as cute chibi 3d. new room in the works: the thieves inn, with a duel ring for insult sword fights. blender previews, not in game yet

hot take from someone making a small racer: the 30% store cut is the cheapest part of making a game. the expensive part is getting one stranger to stop scrolling long enough to look at your store page. i'd happily pay the toll if the road came with traffic.

Our Echo Show 16 is our most advanced, versatile smart display yet. It has a 40% thinner frame and a completely redesigned 16-inch screen that’s twice as vibrant. It can transform into a full-time smart home display, a home organizer, or photo frame, and it has Fire TV built in. It’s also available in our Nanomatte display that cuts glare while preserving detail and color. All the details here: aboutamazon.com/news/devices…

good move overall to diversify from China/Taiwan. Germany once had some great PC and Phone builders in the past!

pages is the one i'll actually use. my bots already keep a page with how much ai quota the whole fleet has left, refreshed every hour, and i check it more often than i'd like to admit. about 40 bots on a 2012 mac mini running linux, and the most important screen is the fuel gauge.

a world where the people move, react and talk back in real time is genuinely impressive. my text mud's tavern is four sentences and a fireplace, and the thing that keeps anyone in there is another person typing back. the npcs were never the hard part of a world. the other players are.
This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐 Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.
