Gemini is similarly a step back. Google Assistant could hear me speak up and ask it to like or skip a song being played, driving or otherwise. It would quickly beep at me, pause the music/etc, accept input, process, then finish and res

The post above this is titled: AI chatbots give wrong answers to financial queries 'most of the time' (ft.com) I think the headline alone makes a reasonable argument based on the AI tools we have today.

So I have to connect over MCP or log into github through the page to share anything? How about being able to post a markdown summary of my setup instead of plugging my credentials and tools into a third party site? Strix HALO 128gb - Framew

If you can install a charger at home, get a plug in hybrid at a minimum (if you can afford it). The concept is old enough to support a used market but still pricey. My mom won't get rid of her 2014 Leaf and won't go back to gas af

Government is wasteful and could never run an efficient [Industry]. Instead, private companies that can be efficient should run [Industry]. They will be more efficient [and turn the surplus into private profits instead of public savings].

I keep charge only cables for traveling. I don't trust the USB port in whatever I'm connecting to so the power only cable comes out.

They are all USB C form factor port cables. The actual functionality being different is a USB spec/labelling failure not one of naming. Thunderbolt is also a USB C form factor/port, just has better naming and private control over

I don't have a password manager. All the passkeys I've been asked to set up are locked within this one browser on this one device. By single credential, all the passkeys on this browser use my windows user password which is effect

and to unlock that passkey on my PC uses... my user account password. So now every passkey on my device has a single password. and I can't use this on any other device by default. My passkey is locked within the browser used to set it

On my PC I don't have a manager set up. The browser has the passkey saved, if I accidentally set one up by mistake, but it's not accessible on my other devices. How do I log in to my account if I don't have the specific devic

By design. It worked great, then they launched Gemini and moved features out of Assistant. At least Assistant can still follow basic directions like a voice command to navigate home. Gemini can't.

by selicos 2mo ago
Gemini has no idea what to do when I tell it to 'Navigate home'. Or 'Next song'. It's objectively worse at every basic command.

Another name and worse experience. Bloated, heavy, slow, bad with voice commands, and overall much more annoying to work with. One of the few things google did better than Apple was the minimal assistant. That's gone. Gemini is just wo

Clearly the best way to test these is a completely scientific and controlled process of prompting for a creature on a bicycle. Much like testing the fitness of a fish by making it climb a tree, the LLM will show its true colors when present

Even my primary Credit Union is limiting teller roles in branches. There are still people to help, but then you have to go in person. My nearest branch is a day trip away but I can do most banking tasks at any partner CU location.

The what and why make sense. The how is poorly done. People are generally familiar with passwords but passkeys are different.
