  • In my own real world usage I estimate a comprehension rate of about 92% with voice agents. I’m no linguist, but I’d guess that you’d need to achieve at least 98% comprehension to not feel like a conversation is frustrating. I’m also instantly irritated if my computer is delayed and nothing happens when I click on something, or if I go to use someone else’s computer and they have double-clicking enabled for some reason (why?!) so my tolerance is probably on the low end.

    Anyway, I thought this was an insightful read and the key to me is that the bar is pretty high now for Man-machine interfaces, so any implementation of newer tech needs to be both thoughtful and bug-free as possible in this realm.












  • Sure that’s great, but read the room. It’s like advocating for gun legislation in the US, it can only go so far realistically. The vast majority of US cities are built around automotive infrastructure and the culture is very much anti-public transport. That requires heavy government level buy in. Car automation can be driven primarily by industry. One can happen in a major way in a few years, the other will take decades if it happens at all. Personally I’m all for it, but it’s such a different discussion that it just comes across as distracting when talking about very real delays in car automation and it’s not a valid criticism of moving forward and promoting decreased barriers to fully automated vehicle infrastructure.



  • Glad you beat me to the post. I just signed on to bitch about this. Incredibly disappointed Vivaldi did this. Proton and it’s leadership are clearly no longer oriented with true privacy. Even if I didn’t despise Proton, most of us that care about this sort of thing already have VPN accounts and don’t want this bloat injected into our browser. This feels like Vivaldi finally jumping the shark to me. Each version feels more and more bloated.


  • I’ll bite. I bought a bunch of these and I use them regularly and I’m getting frustrated with the wait times. Seeing this post makes me feel like I’ve got the worst of the worst which is motivating me to consider opening my wallet and moving on. Anyone have recommendations for a cheap, reliable usb drive I can buy in bulk (like 5 to start) in the 64-128gb ballpark that might not break records, but isn’t embarrassingly slow? I’m really partial to the double sided drives that have a USB c option as well, but those are still a little hard to find while meeting the other requirements I’ve listed.
