I’m heading to Google I/O next week. My first big conference since 2019. Who else do I know that is going to be there?
On a somewhat related note, has anyone figured out how to save sessions on the I/O schedule this year? I can't find a way to build a schedule for myself.
The quiet before the storm at #GoogleIO Connect Miami 🌴 where we’re demo’ing #ProjectFugu 🐡 in practice with LEGO Education’s use of the Web Serial and the Web Bluetooth APIs for their SPIKE Prime kits, and Salonhub’s web payment solution that uses the WebUSB, Web Serial, Web Bluetooth, Web HID, Window Controls Overlay, Screen Wake Lock, and Idle Detection APIs (and probably more that I’m forgetting now) for their product.
When Dart overtook Kotlin as my favorite language I still missed certain features of Kotlin. One was the incredibly powerful switch statement, called "when", that Kotlin had and being able to use that for assignment. Now that Dart 3 is out I now have the equivalent of that again :). It may be missing a couple of edge case features like "in" comparisons but I have to experiment more to determine that. Hats off Dart and Flutter Team.

Gmail has also started to get features with AI including email generation, and modification such as formalize, elaborate, shorten, and a intresting I'm Feeling Lucky option aswell
Google’s vision for the future of search shows how generative AI is all about increasing corporate power.
Instead of sending you to different websites, Google has scraped the open web to generate plagiarized answers to keep you looking at ads on Google. We need to stop being distracted by AI hype and fantasies about intelligent machines, so we can push back on the real threats before it’s too late.
Google announced yesterday that many of its major products will have AI integration, which includes one of the most widely used sites, Google Search. As Big Tech companies battle for AI dominance, Europe is taking the lead with specific guardrails. Vox looks at what Washington is doing to protect Americans from AI's rapid advancement.
"Auf der Keynote seiner Entwicklerkonferenz praesentierte Google seine neuen AI-Services & eine PR-Show, die vor allen Dingen Vertrauen schaffen sollte. Alle Highlights im Ueberblick!"
Ich bin spaet dran.... Moin #Mastodon und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Donnerstag.
Das Foto stammt von meiner letzten #GoogleIO aus dem Jahre 2017... damals hat man angekuendigr von "Mobile" zu "Ai first" zu wechseln und genau deshalb arbeite ich an einer #Metacheles Sonderausgabe... Die kommt dann hoffentlich noch heute Vormittag.
I think #GoogleIO was good, but my takeaways are #AI in Search, The Pixel Tablet, and some of the new app features. I will be buying a Pixel tablet on price alone. I then plan to compare it to the SamSung Tab S8 on the #iACast.
I may be wrong, but AI is not a thing yet, right? All the "AI" talk at #GoogleIO (and everywhere...) is really machine learning, not artificial intelligence, right? Learning algorithms are super impressive, but there's no real intelligence there yet, as I understand it...
