Gemini now has an option to import memory from other agents. 👏
It's a nice start, but what I really want them to do is to synchronize memory automatically, periodically, and between all agents.
Don't tell me to join *your* walled garden.
Instead, make them all interoperate.
FlutterFlow 7.0 shipping today.
250M+ users running on apps built with FlutterFlow.
version 7.0 focuses on two things every developer cares about:
- build faster: MCP support, Test Pilot AI QA.
- build better: @supabase Edge Functions, Test Mode upgrades, Smarter AI Agents, Project organization.
now go build.
While adding this all into the original bitmap image works well, it has surprising difficulty converting the floor plan to an SVG or HTML export. So rather than having it create a house planner/editor for me, I now just let Gemini manipulate the floor plan bitmap.

A neat, new (to me) trick with Gemini 🔬🍌
When I find a floor plan for an interesting house, add the measurements in metrics - and put our dining table, couch, rug﹠TV in the floor plan (all with our correct measurements).
And yes indeed, this one is a bit too cramped. 😂

@adelwu_ Have these print a custom badge with your name + magnets, and put it on your shirt collar.
A Googler had it done for an internal conference at some point, and they were a huge hit. I still use mine.

Today’s Hearts in San Francisco highlight: “ColorFall of Hope” on Castro.
These heart-shaped statues are scattered all over the city, and spotting one unexpectedly always feels like a little reward for exploring.

Dart must easily be the most versatile computer language out there. 🎯
* Runs as a scripting language (like Python)
* Compiles to kernel code (like Java’s bytecode)
* Compiles to native code (like Swift)
* Compiles to JavaScript (like TypeScript)
* Compiles to WASM (unlike TypeScript)
* Has sound null safety (like Rust)
* Stateful hot reload (like no one else - Erlang maybe?)
* Runs on virtually any platform (like C/C++)
In addition:
* Has great developer tooling
* Interops easily with other languages
* Has an outstanding UI framework (Flutter)
* Nicely mixes with native UI components
* Is really easy to learn and work with
Today, I learned that the full compiler, analyzer, and tooling can even run on a web page. Mind blown. 🤯 What else did I miss?
These results are both so far in their backwards compatible modes, so with the SDKs I was already using for years. I wonder what will happen when I wire up their (more) native SDKs.
I really should make some time for that... 🤔

I have a small DB latency test site for RTDB and Firestore, and I just added some new instances to that.
* Lark is a new RTDB-compatible backend, with similar performance.
* Firestore enterprise editions should be slightly faster, but I can't see that here yet.

I'm not a retro-gamer, but there are many giant robot games from 1996-2006, and that era happens to be a gap (machines too powerful for emulation, but APIs too old for translation layers). Here's my solution: https://t.co/VglIuvROix
If you're in the SFMOMA atrium and look up, you might spot... movement in the sky. 👣✨

I'm reading the Veronica Mars books in viewing order as we watch the show.
The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line fits between the movie and season 4.
Predictable mystery story, but Kristen Bell absolutely sells the audiobook.
Rating: ★★★★☆
