Hey Mike! Conference is awesome. Hoping to post talks as soon as they're up. My talk os tomorrow! Also that's great I would love to hear his talk!!! We're doing a lot with AOP and metaprogramming
Hi Michael, nice to meet you. When is the next meeting? I may need some time to prepare and practice. The talk I'm writing outlines how we use Docker with the Gradle build tool to empower local development of cloud applications. Examples will include Grails and Spring Boot.
So cool Jim Clarke will be having a talk at OJUG! What are the chances his talk might be recorded? I have his book and am a huge fan. Love to get his view on the continued value in native development.
TornadoFX workshop should be recorded for tomorrow at Chicago GDG: I'll be sure to post in Kotlintown!

Google has introduced a new accelerator for LiteRT, called Qualcomm AI Engine Direct (QNN), to enhance on-device AI performance on Qualcomm-powered Android devices equipped with Snapdragon 8 SoCs. The accelerator delivers significant gains, offering up to a 100x speedup over CPU execution and 10x over GPU.
Google announced Private AI Compute, a system designed to process AI requests using Gemini cloud models while aiming to keep user data private.
