Cloud Run Jobs or Cloud Batch? If you're running offline processing on Google Cloud, the choice isn't always obvious.
While both services are built for run-to-completion tasks, they serve very different needs.

Snippet of code showing how to configure the Google Maps tool with the Gemini Interactions API for Java

📢 Just released v0.8.0 of my #Gemini Interactions API for #Java, with a new tool: Google Maps 🗺️
github.com/glaforge/gem...

There's Antigravity, Gemini CLI, you can also use Gemini within JetBrains' IDEs, and including their latest Air product.
There's choice on how you wanna run it 😉

Time to try Gemini 😉

Fixing #AISlop with a #SKILL.md in #geminicli

Well, at least, removing as much sloppiness as possible from AI generated text! And making it more human-readable ☺️

I'm not using AI to replicate artist works. I'm using it to discover new vocabulary in a foreign language.
Indeed it reused a familiar character for illustrating the vocab, and yes, there are some small text / ref errors, but the vocab is there and correct, AFAIK.

Not being a native English speaker I miss some vocabulary.

I wanted to know the words describing the elements of a comic book.

My friend #NanoBanana came to the rescue! I asked:

"Create an illustration describing the various elements of a comic page (panels, bubbles, etc)"

TamboUI is inspired from RataTUI.
In French, TamboUI sounds like "Tambouille" which is about cooking, and RataTUI sounds like "Ratatouille" which is a dish.
So the names fit well together!
