Postgres Women India: Driving Diversity And Innovation In Open Source

Postgres Women India was launched in 2023 as a corporate social responsibility initiative under OpenSource DB, starting with 10 members and growing to over 2000 women across more than 70 countries. The community addresses the underrepresentation of women in open source and database conferences, aiming to empower, connect, and celebrate women in technology. Its core pillars include community building, nurturing future leaders, and advocating for education. The community organizes virtual and in-person meetups, mentorship programs, and collaborates with universities to enhance skills in database technologies. Key initiatives include a Career Connect Day, intensive upskill programs, and the Women for Data Summit. The community has recognized 18 women as ‘Postgres Women of the Month’ and highlighted emerging contributors. Partnerships with organizations like Google and YugaByteDB support its efforts, and it seeks further community involvement to establish local chapters and host events.

14 days in Dragon Shelter: A play by play of my first season in the Stardew-style farm sim where dragons help bake pies

Dragon Shelter features a vibrant art style that combines cooking and dragon-themed gameplay. The player arrives at their grandfather's cottage, where they begin learning survival skills and gathering resources. The town is in decline, and the player must earn the townsfolk's trust by completing tasks like delivering baked potatoes. Daily activities include watering crops, cooking, and assisting villagers with various requests. Despite the engaging gameplay, the player feels the world is small and lacks depth, with shops having no interiors and villagers lacking distinct personalities. The game focuses on chores and cooking but may not meet all players' expectations for complex storytelling or mechanics.

RTX 5090 and DLSS 5 Transform Classic Minecraft into 4K

A recent benchmark in Minecraft contrasts the original aesthetic with a modified version using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card and DLSS 5 neural network rendering technology. The modified build features an AdaptiveVision shader, optimized ReShade post-processing presets, and material maps for roughness and reflectivity. DLSS 5 enhances textures without changing polygonal meshes, eliminating subpixel flickering and improving light and shadow gradients. The RTX 5090's video memory and tensor units maintain high frame rates during demanding path tracing and neural network computations. This project demonstrates the potential of machine learning technologies in enhancing classic games.

Notebooks in Gemini arrive for Google Workspace and Education accounts

Google has rolled out the "Notebooks in Gemini" feature to business and education accounts in Google Workspace, following its integration for regular users that began in April. The feature, previously known as NotebookLM, is now part of the main Gemini interface, allowing users to create interactive learning materials, reports, and slide decks. Workspace administrators can control access to the feature, which must be enabled at the organizational level. Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) do not have access to this feature due to regional restrictions on artificial intelligence applications.

Google goes in-depth, and a bit NSFW, on Noto 3D emoji as Android rollout expands

Google Design has introduced Noto 3D, expanding its use beyond Pixel devices. Each character in Noto 3D was hand-drawn and sculpted to maintain the essence of emojis while incorporating dimensionality. The design emphasizes "emotional clarity," focusing on preserving the "vibe" of each symbol through a blend of 3D elements and illustrative techniques. Research indicated that intricate details could hinder emotional processing, leading to a design choice of minimal facial geometry and limiting each emoji to three essential details for effective identity conveyance. The team also found that complete silhouettes enhance empathy in animal representations, prompting a shift from floating heads to full animal forms. Noto 3D is being rolled out across various Google applications, Android devices, and select partners, including Nothing, Lenovo, Xiaomi, OPPO, OnePlus, realme, vivo, iQOO, HONOR, TECNO, Infinix, itel, and Motorola.
