More than four years after I first proposed it and wrote the first line of code, we've finally released #JetpackCompose (stable) version 1.0.0! 🎉 Incredibly grateful to everyone who helped me make it happen. Exciting to have built the future of #Android together!.

It turns out that using LLMs is much more environmentally friendly than the alternative (ie. human labor). 😉😜.

Inspiring Animation; built with Compose! Building animations like this is a great way to uplevel your Compose skills and demonstrate your abilities. Especially the matrix animation, leaves lots of room for interpretation and creativity. This one is very well done!.
I created this amazing MATRIX RAIN EFFECT using Jetpack compose. Jetpack Compose is truly a game changer. I think the only limit of Jetpack Compose is our imagination. #android #jetpackCompose #androidDev #kotlin #animation

What is the best way to be notified when something big occurs, without being bombarded with news notifications on slow days? I just want occasional phone notifications when something big happens like the US bombing Iran. I don't want notifications for ordinary day-to-day stuff.

Did you know: There is a phenomenon called "ai smuggling" where many people at big companies are secretly using AI to perform their job, and hiding that fact from their company.

Reads like an Onion headline, but it's actually real. The tables have turned, humans are now stealing AI jobs 🤣. An AI startup ( backed by Microsoft turns out to be 700 Indian employees pretending to be chatbots.

Until AGI, AI will increase (not reduce) employment opportunities. Augmenting human with AI enables human to do more; previously impossible problems become tractable. People have unlimited problems they want solved; no limit on jobs available for those willing to solve problems.

We've released Jules (an AI coding agent, similar to OpenAI Codex, based on Gemini), available for free! Check it out!.

Compose for iOS is officially Stable! 🎉. Now you can write your UI in Compose for both iOS and Android, share widgets across platforms, and it compiles to a native app on both platforms! Amazing!.#JetpackCompose #android #kotlin.

I'm pretty sure ChatGPT just randomly selects some large percentage of image edit requests and claims they're a policy violation, just to gaslight the users. They want to publicly demonstrate how seriously they take safety.

Glad to see this finally happening! I've been advocating for this for a while now!.
A crucial point that everyone should be internalizing: in the age of test-time search, it's pretty much always possible to reach any level of capability by simply expending more compute. So it’s not just about, "can you do it?". The key is how efficiently you can do it.

Only after you've watched some of his videos on the main channel linked above, if you're still hungry for more, he has an extras channel here:

The alternate channel for William Spaniel/Lines on Maps, with the original URL https://www.youtube.com/gametheory101. I post more casual content here.

The broader public (both left and right) is shockingly inept at analyzing geopoliticals. If you want a non-partisan overview of strategy+diplomacy+geopolitics, I've found William Spaniel's videos to be truly excellent:

A professor who studies war and game theory.

Super cool tool! Great job @csinco! Love seeing these open source tools built using Compose for Desktop!.
Inspired by this article, I built a small tool in Compose Desktop to more easily iterate through building fancy mesh gradients from @sinasamaki's Modifier recipe! Code is here with the code export assuming you are using the same Modifier recipe

Efficiency is a hallmark of intelligence. Deep learning achieves SOTA on many benchmarks, but measuring accuracy irrespective of compute leads to bigger models instead of smarter models. Optimizing the wrong metric means running in a misguided direction.
@fchollet We should be optimizing a metric like "intelligence per floating-point operation" (intelligence per unit of compute) or "intelligence per watt" (intelligence per unit of energy). This would lead to better architectures instead of bigger models.

Pro tip: This is your one-tweet guide to writing good Compose code.
@ColtonIdle @_shahdhaval @Zhuinden Yes, you've got it! 🥰. Keep your composables simple and stateless and free of side-effects. Also: Prefer interfaces over concrete classes. Pass data explicitly. Avoid cross-cutting concerns like DI frameworks. Keep your data loading logic in your data layer, not your UI layer.

Woah, this looks really nice! I love the different modes where you can also see with and without the mesh location visualizations.

Coil now supports Compose Multiplatform!.
Coil 3.0 is out now! The main feature of this release is full Compose Multiplatform support, but there are tons of other smaller improvements. Check it out!
