Today's announcement is cloud-only. We also support an older algorithm for offline use that's less computationally intensive.

All recent Nexus phones have always-on hotword support. I just tested it from 20 feet ("OK Google, what's the weather like tomorrow") and it worked fine.

In this message I'm trying to make the argument I think they would make (I personally use monospaced fonts). It's not that Acme can't use monospaced fonts, it's that Rob/Russ/others don't want to use them.

Users of Acme, written by Rob Pike. See screenshots on this page and note that the font used is not monospaced. http://acme.cat-v.org/

A significant fraction of the Go core engineers use proportional fonts when programming. On their screens, hard tabs are the only tabs that work. Spaces on proportional fonts are too tiny to be useful for moving code around.

It takes some practice to learn how to dictate a response the way that you would type it. However, it has a lot of advantages. For instance I was able to dictate this response to my smartphone in a lot less time than would have taken to typ

Feel free to say "Hello" to get a quick tutorial of the assistant features. The Google app understands searches as well as assistant-like features (like "send a text" or "open Facebook")

I think the best use of taxpayer money would be improving the airport experience. The high speed rail initiatives suggested cost many billions of dollars per city served. Suppose that, instead, we spent those billions to remake our airport

Normal watches are jewelry because they no longer have any other purpose for most people. Those who aren't interested in the fashion part of watches have largely stopped wearing them. This seems similar to those who said that smart ph

You're describing unsupervised training. It works with computers too, as in this article on using Google Brain to build an unsupervised image classifier. http://www.wired.com/2012/06/google-x-neural-network

This Hans Rosling talk from a few years ago shows how most indicators are improving worldwide (e.g. reductions in child mortality, GDP per capita). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVimVzgtD6w

The new high speed rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles is projected to cost $68 billion. Atlanta built a new international airport terminal for $1.4 billion. I'd think at those prices we could fix the TSA delays between LAX an

The Wikipedia article shows that passenger trains use about 35% less energy per passenger/mile than the average car. If fuel efficiency for cars rose to 40 mpg (less than a Prius), they'd be equivalent.

The Go runtime keeps track of the number of goroutines that are currently executing and ensures that this doesn't go above GOMAXPROCS. As soon as a goroutine enters a system call it is excluded from this count. If there aren't enough thre

You can rent 20 AWS on-demand large instances for less money than a junior engineer. If you don't need a lot of machines and AWS saves you any time at all over dedicated hosting, then it's worth it.
