Interesting way to scam users. The attacker creates a github account, a repository and then spam as many users as fast as they can via GH issues, trying to direct them to github-verification - dot - com via the automatic email on GH issues. The domain was created a few hours ago.

Not at @gophercon.com today 😭 but I released github.com/maruel/ask v0.1.0!
Run multi-modal models from 15+ providers at the command line, fast*! Example below is Gemini Veo 3 with a starting image from Black Forest Labs. Check it out!
* without slowness of python or nodejs

search for "content":[] in

It only occurs extremely rarely.

Fascinating that no AI provider implements everything: returning rate limits, logprobs, thinking tokens, good tool implementation with required call, JSON schema, citations.
Some column should be green because I haven't implemented them, especially for Batch and File, and audio output.

I'm generally saddened by projects that cannot be built by the language's native tools.

Ok I'll try it out but ultimately I'd like it to work with the standard toolchain. For now I get an error on my phone.

I feel sorry for the Chrome DevTools team. Clearly they received a hard mandate "everything AI".

I also built the dashboard we see on the main screen. I built it with pure Web Components, vanilla javascript, a simple Go backend and a little help from Gemini CLI using Gemini 2.5 Flash. While Gemini Flash is often wrong, it's *so fast* when run inside a strict docker container in YOLO mode.

I'm really proud to be part of the awesome organizing team that ran the event. I designed and built the trophies over the past two weeks and brought my 3D printer on-site to #3dprint flexible keyrings during the event for the winners. I'm having such fun in OnShape, a CAD/3D modeling software.

Last Saturday, AI Tinkerers Ottawa's hackathon had >60 projects created by >200 registered participants.
This doesn't count the lurkers that came to network and learn at the workshops, adding up to >300 people.

I'm more optimistic.
I believe what we consider "acceptable code churn" will increase significantly. This is a good thing!
High code churn increases the odds of mistakes, so high code churn projects require good guard rails, aka feedback loops (observability) and test coverage.

Can someone give a rationale to why Mojo has support for implicit conversion?
The example they give in their doc is terrifying from a readability and maintainability perspective.

Sam's comment at youtu.be/qhnJDDX2hhU?... is fascinating because essentially he's saying the future is fast cost-efficient reasoning models. Well, then as well run them locally, not in the cloud?
