I can't seem to dismiss the welcome message on mobile.

why is it so hard to use Google's APIs @OfficialLoganK ?

steps: 1⃣ "Get API key" in the docs page → redirects to a different page 2⃣ "Create API key" → asks me to select a project 3⃣ "Select a project" → asks me to create a project 4⃣ Project created → asks me to name the key 5⃣ Name the key → asks me to connect billing account 6⃣ Click on "free tier" → redirects to a different page 7⃣ "Link billing account" → prompts me to fill the form to increase the quota

I saw 4 pages, 7(!) modals and I still can't use the API key.

Then somewhere along the way I also see a prompt to use VertexAI which quadruples the confusion. it's just stupid.

Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK 3h I am sorry for the pain on this, we are doing a bunch to address this:

1. We are moving the docs into AI Studio, so you won't need to jump from the docs into AI Studio, it will all be integrated, ETA is Q1 to be fully complete with this.

2. Right now, we auto create projects and keys for new users so they don't need to click anything, it just works. I think the edge case is that it only happens during the account creation flow right now. I pinged the team to make sure we add this for existing users so they will be able to just have a project and key created by default, ETA 2nd week of Jan.

3. Will be fixed by the above, we will also auto select a project going forward, ETA 1st week of Jan.

4. We will auto populate a name for you when you create a new key, ETA 2nd week of Jan.

5 & 6. We are bringing the billing setup process directly into AI Studio, this will make it so we don't have to redirect to the cloud console for you to setup a billing account, ETA for initial rollout is Jan 20th.

7. I will debug this part further, agreed it is super confusing. The issue here is that we limit the number of projects you can add to a single billing account (since this is one of the ways that people commit mass scale abuse / fraud on our platform), let me poke around to see what we can do to make this more simple.

Thank you for the feedback and sorry for the hassle on this. Always more to do!

The current latest Minio release that is working for us for local development is now almost a year old and soon enough we will have to upgrade. Curious what others have replaced it with that is as easy to set up and has a management UI.

We currently let loose Gemini, Cursor Bugbot, Qodo, and even Sentry started reviewing PRs now.

My usually prefer Gemini but sometimes other tools catch bugs Gemini doesn't.

As someone who has never heard of Graphite, can anyone share their experience comparing it to any of the tools above?

As someone who uses Cursor, i don't understand why anyone would use CLI AI coding tools as opposed to tools integrated in the IDE. There's so much more flexibility and integration, I feel like I would be much less productive otherwise. And I say this as someone who is fluent in vim in the shell.

Now, would I prefer to use vs code with an extension instead? Yes, in the perfect world. But Cursor makes a better, more cohesive overall product through their vertical integration, and I just did the jump (it's easy to migrate) and can't go back.

You might be underestimating HN's popularity.

I recently ran into an issue with the Cloudflare API feature that if you want to roll back requires contacting the support team because there's no way to roll it back with the API or GUI. Even when the exact issue was pointed out, it took multiple days to change the setting and to my knowledge there's still no API fix available.

Our locations excluded from Cloudflare WAF were up, but the rest was down. I think WAF took a dump.

Not just that, but the whole concept of an open source consultancy is fascinating. I love that this exists and is a career for some people.

When I wake up in cold sweat in the middle of the night, it's because I interacted with yhr Google cloud management UI before I went to sleep.

Do we know for a fact that DMA has anything to do with it? According to Google, Apple had nothing to do with this announcement. The way I have read it is a bunch of Google hackers reverse engineered Airdrop and that's that. And it's coming to other Android devices, so the Pixel 10 lock-in is just a marketing move.

AI integration into all aspects of the IDE is the killer feature of Cursor for me. Also access for $20 a month to every important model out there, and once you go over your credits, they grant you about another $25 in free credits and then you can work pretty much unlimited in Auto mode where it automatically picks the model for you.

Have you tried Cursor though? To me, that is the system to beat.

Are you able to share said photo?

Not just "write my own string lib", but "write my own string lib in assembly"! Wow.

I love HN.

Forgive my bluntness, but I hope you are never allowed on the Android team or near any significant UX decisions on any devices or apps I use or will use.

Probably because it makes it easier to observe and/or intercept API calls and other data exchange between the client and the server. It's trivial to disable things like SSL cert pinning, etc. on rooted devices.

I've been using a Stadia controller with my Steam Deck OLED but finally it'll have a worthy upgrade.

Maybe in size, but at least by weight, it's not bad at all.

Steam Controller weight: 292g.

Nintendo Switch 2 controller: 235g.

Sony Playstation 5 DualSense controller: 280g. DualSense Edge: 322g.

Xbox Wireless controller: 280g. Wireless Elite series 2: 345g.

And Sundar's too with the latest BS about Android sideloading.

I'm frustrated by the error rate on my Eneloops over the years. I have dozens of them and I swear every other time I recharge them, one more starts blinking and refuses to recharge.

Also I would recommend switching to the IKEA rechargeable batteries which are supposedly the same thing except cheaper.

The ideal would be rechargeable AA battery support with a built-in USB-C that would natively support charging said AA battery.

Same with Dave2D https://youtu.be/356rZ8IBCps.

Have a look at this video by Dave2D. In his hands-on, he was very impressed with foveated streaming https://youtu.be/356rZ8IBCps.

Are you supposed to spit it out and rinse or keep it on like Enamelon? A quick search says spit out but not rinse.

But if you don't have cavities, doesn't that mean that there's going to be now reduced need for not just fillings, but down the road also crowns, root canals, implants, etc (at least caused by tooth deterioration that starts as cavities)?

I've actually been occasionally using Enamelon because it was recommended by my dentist for sensitivity and I think it actually works.

I'm going to try Boka as recommended above though, it seems like a more updated and modern solution.

Thank you for the mention of Boka. This sent me down a rabbit hole of research, both the positives compared to other toothpaste, like not containing SLS, parabens, or titanium dioxide, but also the findings of trace amounts of lead, arsenic, and mercury in it. The trace amounts are much lower than the standards considered okay by the FDA and the European regulators, but not EWG, which doesn't accept pretty much any trace amounts.

I decided to try it after all.

>I've used AWS, Azure, and recently GCP. You do NOT want to use GCP.

>TBH, GCP is very good! More people should use it.

These takes couldn't be further apart. Gotta love HN comments.
