They’re usually built for the lowest bidder.
and that’s even before it has to contend with you having an accent, or the mic quality being anything less than crystal clear, with a perfect connection.

Depends on whether scammers will also use a similar AI system to do their job for them. If they do, they might be basically indistinguishable.
Does this also affect Chromium, or is it just Google Chrome?
The article mentions it being affecting Google Chrome through Chromium, but it’s not clear if it also affects Chromium on its own, or other Chromium-based browsers.
Nitpicking, but I’m not sure that it was ads that killed dash sat navs. At least in my experience, they never really developed to that point where car companies would put ads in.
It was more that they were expensive options to install, a pain to keep updated, and generally weren’t all that good.
Even before the live traffic and automatic detour features, phones didn’t cost money to keep the onboard maps up to date, and you already had one, so you didn’t need to either buy an add-on, or get a special unit for it.
With android CarPlay and Apple Auto, you could just put your phone map on the screen, which was basically the same thing, but a cheaper equivalent, since the hardware was on your phone instead.
Given the rumours surrounding the CEO of Twitter, and how he may have pushed for his account to be prioritised because the algorithm knocked it down for being blocked so much, this feature doesn’t seem like it has long for the world, unless he makes them add an exception for him.
That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?
Yes. Knighthood is generally up to the whims of the monarch. Although to make it there, it’s generally expected you have an achievement significant enough to be befitting of one.
But from what I recall, there’s little stopping his majesty from conferring a knighthood onto Chief Mouser Larry for his research into the napping suitability of 10 Downing Street’s furniture, if he wanted to do that.
Is there a Wrong Dishonourable title?
I don’t know, it kind of makes sense, since Kagi can tailor itself to a specific audience, whereas something big like Google will just make a generalised slop that is able to be used by anyone, but isn’t to anyone’s particular tastes.
It can depend on your particular part of the tech-sphere. I barely saw anything about either of those, because I wasn’t all that interested in AI things, and didn’t really follow the kind of people who would talk about it. At most, it was a quick flash in the pan before it was overshadowed by other news.
China is already trying quite hard with its Great Firewall. We don’t need to make their job easier for them.
Crack enough eggs, and you won’t have any left for the omelette.
Wrong battery. You’re thinking the high-voltage EV battery, but in this case, it was the 12V lead-acid accessory battery that died. Normally, that would be charged from the high voltage battery, if the car was running.
In this case, it might just have been bad luck with a worn-out battery.
The toddler was strapped into the seat at the time, so chances are that they would not be able to find and open the door that way anyhow.
The internet archive plans to appeal the ruling, so the fight is hardly over at this juncture.
Would be interesting to see where it goes.
Without knowing how, not really. If it’s a massive multi-device botnet, like Mirai, for example, that’s millions of indvidual devices across millions of addresses, so it isn’t so simple as just blocking a domain. Trying to block all of them might well just block legitimate users.
Request limits also wouldn’t work if it’s millions of devices making a few requests at once, and an overall limit would have a similar locking-out effect as blocking everything. Especially if the DDoS is taking up most/all of that limit.
From the sounds of it, they did, since they were able to recover the data from elsewhere.
They just lost the data they kept and stored with Google.
Backups all tied to the same Google account that got mistakenly terminated, and automation did the rest?
It didn’t matter that they might have had backups on different services, since it was all centralised through Google, it was all blown away simultaneously.
Higher cycle life might also make it good for hybrids, since they cycle their batteries a fair bit.
Also a little bit with it being advertised as “not an app”, when it turns out to be an app, and doesn’t have any special magic that makes it need that dedicated hardware.
I wonder if it would actually materialise, consisting the recent case where an airline company’s AI chatbot promised a refund that didn’t exist, but were expected to uphold that promise.
That risk of the bot offering something to the customer when the company would rather they not, might be too much.
It seems more likely that companies will either have someone monitoring it, and ready to cut the bot off if it goes against policy, or they’ll just use a generated voice for a text interface that the client writes into, so they don’t have that risk, and can pack more customers per agent at a time in.
