Well, this is a fun little experiment I did with Basil today. I wanted to see if I can have a "light source" that can change the shadow based on the gyro. In the video I just added a light source to drag it around to better show it. Would I ever release it, probably not 😂

✨New Twine feature✨ Not sure which feeds to follow? Twine now has a discovery section you can browse to get started. It will be shown during onboarding, when adding a feed, and in the main navigation if you just want to browse what's available.

It's amazing how much AI agents for Android dev has improved. Used Junie and Gemini 3 to build an app I need, and it build the entire app in few hours and required minimal amount of manual changes. Used @stitchbygoogle to generate initial designs to iterate on.

@sebastiano.dev it looks like LookAheadScope and animateBounds is enough to animate the LazyVerticalGrid cell changes. Obviously the transition isn’t perfect but I think adjusting animation timings and playing around with fade spec for other items should improve it.

This is very good. www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

AI is a tool (sorry!) that people who are bad at their jobs will use badly and that people who are good at their jobs will maybe, possibly find some uses for. People who are terrible at their jobs (many executives), will tell their employees that they “need” to use AI, that their jobs depend on it, that they must become more productive, and that becoming an AI-first company is the strategy that will save them from the old failed strategy, which itself was the new strategy after other failed business models.

The only journalism business strategy that works, and that will ever work in a sustainable way, is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.
