Owned a $374 UGREEN NAS for a year. Backup works, I still wouldn't buy it again.
1. I don't use their native photo app (immich is just better)
2. SSH gives you no full root
3. Not a big fan of the UGOS apps in general
Any tips on how to diy one?
Very cool, the thing is, this is mostly for single player games right? Whats the use case of generative environments in a multiplayer online game?
Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model:
- steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions
- generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time!
- simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics
- create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini
We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.
Grok bot, Muse, OpenAI Dots. Same idea, all closed, all expensive.
DS-Bot is the open source version: a team of long-lived bots with memory, group chats and bot-to-bot handoffs. Any provider, not just DeepSeek.
I run mine on deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017. Fraction of the cost.

Wow I鈥檓 surprised you鈥檙e getting so much pushback, I鈥檓 the same as you though 馃
One AI plan cost me $6.50 and 310K tokens because my prompt was vague.
What fixed my workflow:
1. Refactor first so file names explain themselves
2. Smart model decides, cheap models edit and execute
Anything I missed?
Seems to me you were sympathizing with the protestors, not the looters. Only takes two seconds to figure that out.

Lmk if you have any tips for better engineering practices when working with AI
Replying to @MarkZofMarkZ
It鈥檚 a recipe / meal prepping app, I had a recipe tab that listed all my recipes, I switched it to a button that opens a sheet, but the AI missed the implementation on that button completely. Definitely will try smaller scopes
I ran 20 subagents for 4 hours on my meal prep app
Result: unlabelled icons, broken UX, and clicking on recipes crashed my app.
How do you one shot your development?
Replying to @sujiteeeey
4. Decompose functions into smaller functions and 5. Object parameters for functions when more than 1 parameter is required
I got tired of repeating the same cleanup prompts to my AI agent, so I built a global skill in pi.dev with:
1. JSDoc only, no inline comment slop
2. No 1-letter vars (even in .map / .filter)
3. Blank lines between logical steps
Do you use clean coding rules?
