We’re gonna start testing our first V8.2 edit model today. This model supports editing with instructions, generating images with other images (up to 4 references), brush-based inpainting, and outpainting. It also works with personalization, moodboards, and srefs. Have fun!

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

Introducing our V1 Video Model. It's fun, easy, and beautiful. Available at 10$/month, it's the first video model for *everyone* and it's available now.

One of the most exciting new features for our new V7 model is something we call "Draft Mode". Draft mode is half the cost and 10 times the speed and it might be the best way to iterate on ideas ever. Try it with voice, think out loud and let our ideas flow like liquid dreams.

We're now beginning the alpha-test phase of our new V7 image Model. It's our smartest, most beautiful, most coherent model yet. Give it a shot and expect updates every week or two for the next two months.

538's open source API and all the other data we/they freely compiled and shared over the years drove so much important work across the industry. this is going to have pretty severe ripple effects. and it was often work done by 2 or 3 people.
This is such a catastrophic loss not only for election journalism but also as an election data resource — can't even count the number of times I've relied on 538's polling averages, redistricting trackers, etc for my reporting

💡 TIL about Compute Pressure API This permits observing compute pressure on things such as: - CPU - GPU - thermals Pressure levels: critical > serious > fair > nominal This just landed in Chrome 125 This could be useful under the hood for Concurrent React? 🤔

Replying to @RealtimeDotOrg
@RealtimeDotOrg - quite interesting "news in data stories" site, tracking key numbers across public opinion, environment and er, chess. Then using AI to distill trends into bite-sized stories. Mostly US data. (realtime.org)

Today I’m excited to share a little about the new company I’ve been working on: Gestalt is the best way for businesses to deeply understand people. In many ways, I view Gestalt as a Human Data Interface — a new kind of tool that reimagines how we think about data as humans, and how we think about humans as data.

Rat birth control? A new bill would deploy contraceptives in hopes of reducing the rat population and protecting wildlife from being poisoned. Follow the data behind this story: Daily rat sightings: realtime.org/data/nyc-rat-si… Seasonally-adjusted rat index: realtime.org/data/nyc-rat-in…
We need to wrap up the war on rats! But we won’t get there by poisoning them—if we could, we already would have. It’s time we tried rat contraceptives alongside trash containerization. Bonus points for reducing accidental poisoning of pets and wildlife.🦉shorturl.at/fAGOP

One of our most requested features has been the ability to compare across the data featured on Realtime. Now it's possible. Try our new chart creator tool to visualize the correlations and differences between data

Danni and I are still seeking participants for our survey on how data workers searching for new data sources decide which datasets are worthwhile. If you have experiences with data discovery, please consider spending 15-20 minutes sharing your thoughts with us.
I am seeking participants for a survey on the role that visualization plays in dataset discovery and sharing. We want to hear from individuals engaging in data-related tasks—data journalists, academic researchers, data analysts, and more!

Chances of a TikTok bill being passed before the end of April have fallen significantly over the last week according to prediction markets. Now at only a 7.5% chance.
