Gemini is ready to start dreaming up images in Google Docs on Android

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-24 06:58:53

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Docs got started using Gemini to generate images last year, delivering a desktop tool. This month, that’s expanding to Google Docs on Android. You’ll need an AI Pro, AI Ultra, or supported Business or Education plan to take advantage. Generative AI is a reality, and while it’s probably too soon to categorically declare it “here to stay” (tastes do change, after all), this is one genie you’re going to have a bit of trouble getting back in the b

AI must RTFM: Why tech writers are becoming context curators

news.ycombinator.com Fabrizio Ferri Benedetti 2025-11-27 06:04:40

AI must RTFM: Why technical writers are becoming context curators I’ve been noticing a trend among developers that use AI: they are increasingly writing and structuring docs in context folders so that the AI powered tools they use can build solutions autonomously and with greater accuracy. They now strive to understand information architecture, semantic tagging, docs markup. All of a sudden they’ve discovered docs, so they write more than they code. Because AI must RTFM now.

The Air Force Wants to Use Cybertrucks for Target Practice

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-29 16:50:06

The U.S. Air Force seems to have finally found a good use for Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertrucks: blowing them up with missiles. The War Zone was first to spot that America’s aerial defense wing plans to purchase two of Tesla’s rolling heaps of metal for “use as targets for precision munitions during testing and training.” Associated contracting documents seem to imply that America’s “enemies” may soon be using Cybertrucks and that, as a result, the Air Force needs to practice shooting at them.

Once a death sentence, cardiac amyloidosis is finally treatable

When James Hicks, 75, was diagnosed with heart failure, it felt like the beginning of the end. Mr. Hicks, a former railroad worker from Rogers, Ark., had quietly dealt with various health problems, from carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms to dual knee replacements. But now his heart was giving out, and the doctors chalked it up to the wear and tear of old age. “There’s just not exactly a surgery to fix this,” he said.

Every week for the last 3 months I’ve learned a new trick when it comes to getting whatever LLM I’m using at the time to produce better output. That’s my trade, but lots of HNers have more interesting trades than that. In my case, only recently I learned the value of getting an LLM to write and refine a plan.md architecture doc first, and for it to break that doc down into testable phases, and then to implement phase by phase.

A group of Cornell computer scientists has unveiled what they believe could be a new tool in the fight against AI‑generated video, deepfakes and doctored clips.

Why CI/CD Still Doesn't Include Continuous Documentation?

In my 15+ years as a developer, one of the most persistent headaches I’ve seen across teams is outdated documentation. I’ll admit it, I’ve shipped features and moved on without updating the docs. A month later, a new teammate is onboarding or someone is debugging an issue, and they run into a README or guide that no longer reflects reality. It’s frustrating for them and embarrassing for us. I’m certainly not alone in this habit. Maintaining documentation is often the last thing on a developer’
