Writing a Good AI Image Prompt Isn't Hard, but You Need These Essential Elements

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-01 10:05:03

One of the first things I learned while testing AI image generators is that there are a lot of things that can go wrong when you're trying to get the image you see in your head to appear on your screen. If you've ever used an AI image or video generator, you know what I mean. I've spent the past year testing and reviewing different AI image generators, and I've generated hundreds of images across services like Google's nano bananas model, Midjourney and Dall-E. But the images I created haven't

Here’s why usage of Gemini’s Nano Banana image editor is growing

theverge.com Robert Hart 2025-10-01 10:59:52

Google Gemini is breaking out of ChatGPT’s shadow, likely on the wings of its Nano Banana image editor and the viral trend of AI-generated, lifelike figurines. Google launched Nano Banana in late August. It hyped the model as a way to “transform images in amazing new ways” inside the Gemini app. To get the “perfect picture,” you simply pop an image into Gemini and “tell it what you’d like to change,” the company said. Google’s suggestions include redecorating your house, giving yourself a ’60s

AMD Turin PSP binaries analysis from open-source firmware perspective

Introduction In the previous post, we showed coreboot running on Gigabyte MZ33-AR1 with Turin CPU, the current, newest family of AMD server processors. However, we faced various obstacles and problems. Despite AMD publishing a set of blobs required for the Turin system initialization, they turned out to be not enough to release the CPU from reset by PSP. We were forced to do a workaround by injecting coreboot into the vendor firmware image and flashing it back. The whole process is far from ide

Page Object (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Martin Fowler 2025-09-28 02:26:19

When you write tests against a web page, you need to refer to elements within that web page in order to click links and determine what's displayed. However, if you write tests that manipulate the HTML elements directly your tests will be brittle to changes in the UI. A page object wraps an HTML page, or fragment, with an application-specific API, allowing you to manipulate page elements without digging around in the HTML. The basic rule of thumb for a page object is that it should allow a softw

Which npm package has the largest version number? I spent way too much time on this I was recently working on a project that uses the AWS SDK for JavaScript.

James Gunn Slams AI-Generated Batman

As generative AI slop is threatening to turn Hollywood on its head, not everybody in the industry is enthusiastic about the tech. In a hilarious counter to a fan's AI-generated image of actor Brandon Sklenar dressed as the DC Comics' Batman, DC Studios filmmaker and "Superman" director James Gunn quipped in a Threads post that "it would be weird to cast an AI Batman with a 14 inch arm."

OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake

OpenAI claims to have figured out what's driving "hallucinations," or AI models' strong tendency to make up answers that are factually incorrect. It's a major problem plaguing the entire industry, greatly undercutting the usefulness of the tech. Worse yet, experts have found that the problem is getting worse as AI models get more capable. As a result, despite incurring astronomical expenses in their deployment, frontier AI models are still prone to making inaccurate claims when faced with a pr

Joe Maring / Android Authority Every Apple event, be it WWDC or the new iPhone launch, brings me a set of confusing thoughts. There’s a lot of mockery over what Apple has decided to copy innovate and their random announcements that no one asked for (hello, iPhone Air), but also a bit of jealousy-slash-awe at Apple’s pull over the entire phone industry.

Kodak's mini camera fits on your keyring and is smaller than an AirPods case

Kodak has shrunk a camera to fit onto a keyring, but it still manages to shoot both photo and video.

California's age verification bill for app stores and operating systems takes another step forward

Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support Resizing an image is one of those programming tasks that seems simple, but has some rough edges.
