Obviously experiences vary greatly, but I was on one of the largest AWS orgs and they were quite punitive. People would demand them for perceived slights, then assign reviewers that were tough or on their side. Many of my friends had different experiences, though.


Some orgs also use them to extract concessions from dependencies further up the chain. Upstream service won't fix an issue that's been causing problems for us? "unintentionally" let it become a SEV, so that we can send the CoE up the chain and get Jassy to drop the hammer on that team...


Hmm. I'm curious about which org that was.

I spent the slight majority of my time at AWS in RDS.


Totally agree. Pixel devices are probably still the best Android offering, but I originally got into the ecosystem because it was less confined and that appears to be changing. While I'm likely not representative of most consumers, I would love it if I could choose both the right device and right software for my particular needs .


Isn’t YouTube premium essentially what you’re describing?


Right. If you don't want to see the ads then pay for a subscription. Using an ad blocker on a site that is monetized by ads is essentially taking the content for free, against the wishes of the creators.


Where did you see that? It seems this is integrating two extensions together, I'm curious how that would work. I asked it "@gmail summarize my last 5 emails" and that worked decently.

Edit: Actually, I'm not completely certain how the "@<extension>" syntax works. Are the results limited to that app?


I just tried "@gmail summarize my last 5 emails" and got:

> I don't have access to your Gmail account, so I can't summarize your last 5 emails. However, I can help you summarize your emails if you provide them to me.


You must enable Bard history for these features to work, and you must go to the extensions page and make sure they’re turned on. Arguing with a model that doesn’t have access to the extensions won’t make it suddenly use the extensions.

Summarizing my last 5 emails worked just fine with bard using that query.


To which I responded:

> You do have access via the new "extensions" feature.

And it said:

> Thank you for reminding me about the new Gmail extensions feature. I am still under development and working on integrating with those features. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to access your Gmail account even with your permission. > > However, once the integration is complete, I will be able to access your Gmail account with your permission and summarize your last 5 emails. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Is there anything else I can help you with in the meantime?


I prompted bard with "What is bard extensions?" and that was part of its response.


Ha, good call. I tried that, it seemed showed a bunch of examples that seem to leave out the extension name. I wish the tutorial was better.


I love it.

"provide me a rendered html page with the most relevant links and descriptions for a given topic, completely free of advertising"


I've had success with it. The integration with other google services could be a killer feature, but I think it needs some more polish and control. For example, right now it can't add an event to your calendar. I'd think it could at least generate a link to create one. It sort of seems like they're being overly cautious when compared to the way ChatGPT was launched.


The article already states this. The person you were replying to is asking about a different - but similar - case where an employee's last name is "Null".


Obviously it doesn't change anything in the physical world. I think you're just misunderstanding the implication. If this software fulfills the need, individuals would not need to use keyboards that physically create the sound. Whether that would actually happen is a different matter.


Is it special files that begin with a capital letter, version sets, version filter instances, and massive symlink farms?


If you already know that much then you don’t need a response ;)


I'm not going to get a Pixel Tablet, but I really do like the idea of a charging dock speaker.


Couldn't you just get a Nest Mini and 3d Print a cover for it with a charging connector built-in?

I know the existing tablets on the market don't lend themselves to being docked, but my point is what if you want a speaker and a tablet and a dock, and the speaker should work when the tablet isn't docked, it's actually just 2 devices jammed together.


I like the dock idea as well
