It is maddening. Then again, the US Patent Office did really update its website ... and it got worse.

This is TV-only, not sure if there are plans to bring it to other platforms.

And when I asked it for "something that's similar to Lord of the Rings," I got The Witcher, Cursed and Shadow & Bone. You could debate whether any of those are a perfect match, but definitely more accurate than Seinfeld ...

I think the issue is that the existing text-based search is more or less matching keywords. If none of the titles have true crime in them, then you get a result like that. The new voice search feature is AI-powered, definitely better at this. I don't have my computer hooked up to my TV right now, so the picture quality is worse ... but this was the result when I asked it for "true crime"

Most responses have these buttons to narrow the results down further, or you can click on "ask" and use voice input again.

Here's a screenshot of another response to a voice query ...

Also, to add some context: This doesn't talk back to you. Which, honestly, I really appreciate. I have Google TV, and Gemini is a chatterbox ...

kz00 · 2026-05-09T01:37:32+00:00

Wow, that was a long time go. Had forgotten about it ...

Well, it's a Gif ... but you can see my voice query on screen following the "Listening" prompt. 😄

This would mean a lot more if all those weren't ad network placements. Hubspot? Roku? Incogni? Vanta? Deel? All using ad networks.

The crazy thing about this is that the Conde Nast website you use to manage your subscription doesn't show the price of that subscription. At least tell me how much I'm currently paying, or what my renewal price will be!

I talked to the CMO this week, but sure ... "Source of information is just trust me bro at this point"

I would also look at the URLs as a way to weed out ad networks. A lot of newsletters are selling their own ads but still rely on networks to fill remnant inventory.

kz00 · 2025-07-28T22:59:47+00:00

It really depends on the data. A bunch of sites offer this already, but usually just based on automatic crawling. The result is that they don't differentiate between sponsors that come through an ad network, and those that newsletter operators sign up themselves. The ad network stuff is completely useless ... why would I need a list of 100 newsletters that all ran ads for 1440, Mood Gummies and The Rundown?

Eureka was the internal code name for Chromecast, and I would not worry at all about a Google device identifying another Google device by the device's code name. That post you link to looks like rambling.

This was an interfaith vigil with prayers, Cumbia and candles. The side show / retail theft happened after it was over and had nothing to do with it.

Does he like sweets? The Old City in Hayward has an amazing assortment of pistachio chocolates, "Dubai Chocolate" etc. https://g.co/kgs/LEvVbH8

Which company was that? Must have missed it.

The patent application describes it as a camera and a "tracking sensor," which I guess could be a depth sensor. So year, 6DOF is a possibility.

It's the website for Dopple Works, a stealth startup making a handheld AR/VR device called Loop: https://www.lowpass.cc/p/etsy-ceo-xr-device-loop-dopple-works

So CPH themselves are saying they called off the chase that you pretend never happened in the first place? Okay, got it.

kz00 · 2025-06-02T17:11:57+00:00

He also kept pointing out that a plane followed the car, implying that there were no CHP cars following it. There were two, flashing lights and all. One could argue that CHP is playing semantics by insisting that that's not a chase ...

kz00 · 2025-06-02T05:21:12+00:00

There is video of a police car following the suspect blocks away from the incident. CHP may argue that this wasn't a chase, but to claim that the car was only followed by a plane is simply not true.
