Decoupling Physical Control and Reasoning: DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 Architecture

Why Decouple Reasoning from Motor Control General-purpose robots have to pull off two very different jobs at once. They need to read a cluttered, full-room visual scene, hold a multi-minute plan in memory, and converse with a person — and, in the same instant, close a high-frequency control loop that keeps a balancing humanoid upright and moves a delicate hand without dropping whatever it holds. Cramming both jobs into a single end-to-end network forces uncomfortable trade-offs: the large co...

Gemini Notebook Rollout Remains Staged Despite Expanded Access for Pro Subscribers

Google's Gemini Notebook rollout has expanded across subscriber and account groups, but Google's published information describes a staged, multi-phase release , not a confirmed global completion for every Google AI Pro subscriber. That distinction matters for users evaluating access, planning source-based research workflows, or deciding whether a subscription tier will immediately provide the enhanced Notebook experience. The product was previously known as NotebookLM . In its official G...

Identifying the Processor of a Bare-Metal Binary (Strategy 2): Testing LLMs

Industrializing the disassembly of an undocumented processor from a raw binary is a complex challenge that can be broken down into 4 main phases: Verify that the binary does not belong to an already known processor. Verify that the binary does not correspond to obfuscated, compressed, or encrypted code from a known processor. Build an undocumented processor generator. Develop the analysis workflow and disassembly generation pipeline. For the first step of this project, the goal i...

Building Enola, Part 2: From Source Code to an Architectural Fact Model

In Part 1, I explained why Enola extracts deterministic architectural facts before an AI agent begins reasoning. That leaves the next design question: How should those facts be represented? The obvious answer is to build a graph containing every symbol, dependency, route, service, and repository. But the difficult part is not putting nodes and edges into a graph. It is preserving what those relationships mean. A function call is not the same as a package dependency. A route reg...

I Spent $4 in AI Tokens to Avoid Buying a $10 HDMI Switch (And It Was Worth It)

A journey into DDC/CI — the remote-control protocol that has been hiding inside your display cable for over twenty years, and how it turned my monitor into a KVM. The desk that started it all My setup looks ordinary: a MacBook Air open on the desk (my primary machine), and an LG 32UN880K — a 32" 4K monitor with two HDMI ports, DisplayPort, and USB-C. The less ordinary part is behind the MacBook: an ASUS gaming laptop running Linux whose internal screen died. It now lives as a...

The Day I Became a Bug Hunter

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry . Did anyone ask for a bug hunter? No? Well, here I am. This is an old story and special to me, but I wanted to write about it because it was my first time seriously finding bugs in someone else's software. Not bugs in my own code where I already knew which questionable decision probably caused them. Actual bugs in an actual product that someone else had built. There was a competition where parti...

Waste: Tackling Massive AI Models with an Innovative Streaming Approach

A new GitHub project titled "Waste" aims to tackle the challenges of running enormous AI models in environments with limited RAM. By leveraging a streaming mechanism to pull activated weights directly from NVMe storage, developers can execute the hefty 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 model without the need for excessive memory allocation. This method could significantly affect engineering teams dealing with high parameter count models, particularly when physical memory constraints can stymie dep...

Apache Polaris 1.7.0 and the Quiet Work of Making a Catalog Trustworthy

A Spark job commits a table update. The catalog writes the change to Postgres. Then the network drops between the catalog and the client, and the client never sees the response. The client does the sensible thing and retries. This time the catalog sees that the table has already moved past the base snapshot in the request, so it returns 409 Conflict. The client reads that 409 as a failed commit and deletes the metadata files it just wrote. The commit is now recorded in the catalog, and the files...

Tenía 100% de cobertura y aun así se cayó producción

Hoy buena parte del código que entra a mis proyectos lo escribe un modelo. No es un experimento, es cómo trabajamos. Y eso me trajo una pregunta que antes casi no me hacía, porque el código lo escribía yo y más o menos sabía dónde estaban los huecos: si no escribí esto, ¿cómo sé que sirve? La respuesta obvia es "mido cobertura". Yo la mido. Y una vez tuve todo en verde mientras la página se caía en producción. Este post es sobre esa contradicción, y sobre las decisiones que hacen que el nú...

Google Renames NotebookLM as Gemini Notebook, Expanding Its Role Across Gemini

Google has renamed NotebookLM as Gemini Notebook , tying its source-grounded research workspace more closely to the wider Gemini ecosystem. The change is more than a new label: Google says notebooks will sync across the Gemini app and Google Search as the rollout expands, creating a broader home for organizing sources, chats, and AI-assisted analysis. The rebrand provides the clearest context for recent attention around file support, chat-based creation, and deeper analysis. Gemini Noteboo...

Im desperately looking for a job

Hi everyone, I’m struggling with bipolar disorder and have reached a very dark point. I recently tried to take my own life, and I’m scared I may attempt again. I’ve been unemployed since last year despite constantly applying. I have a degree in Industrial Management Engineering and experience in operations, project management, process optimization, and data analysis. I urgently need a job opportunity to get back on my feet. If you’re hiring or know someone who is, please reach out or refer...

One month ago I got 72$MRR, today i have 328.16$MRR (what i've changed)

Hi ! One month ago I wrote a post saying i've reached 72$MRR. Now I am at 328$MRR (which is not a lot, but i'm happy). For context, my app is: helping musicians, beatmakers and artists to create visuals for their music. I am a developer so I spent nearly 3 years making the tool as good as possible and not marketing it. (which is a mistake but if you don't do it you'll never learn this). Everyone says you should market, because an idea without marketing is nothing, and that's FUCKING T...

A competitor took our app name and is now outranking us on Google. What do we do?

Hey everyone, need some advice from founders who’ve dealt with competitors using your exact name. My co-founders and I have been building a trading journal app called JournalX (we use the .io domain) since late 2023 while balancing day jobs. We registered a Delaware C-Corp back in August 2024 and put almost all our energy into product dev. Because we were building on nights and weekends, development was slow, and we completely neglected marketing and SEO. Right around the time we launched, s...

Bing sends me 33x more traffic than Google. Never saw that coming

Solo founder here, been shipping SaaS for years. My first product was an (NSFW) AI companion platform. Did the normal SEO stuff. Sitemap, Search Console, content, backlinks, wait.

Read this before starting to advertise your SaaS on TikTok

You made your SaaS. Now you want to advertise it on TikTok but you never danced in front of a camera. No worries, you don't always have to. But it's hard. I'm sharing my learnings over my experiments, myths, wins and failures: 1. TikTok accounts: Use personal/creator account types, not business. If you go with business you can't use most of the popular sounds, just some random commercial boring ones. Do not buy an account unless you plan on using from the same location/VPN. You'll ge...

I built a game studio with zero human employees. Here's the office tour. Built this together with Claude. An office full of AI agents, each one has a distinct role (CEO, Creative Director, QA, Marketer). They communicate, make decisions, and ship games autonomously.
