Isn’t YouTube premium essentially what you’re describing?
Readit NewsI 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.
Bard:
> simply type the name of the product that you want to access after the "@gmail" prompt. For example, to access Google Docs, you would type "@gmail docs".
Me
> @gmail docs
Bard
> Unfortunately, Bard Extensions is still under development and currently doesn't support full integration with Google Docs through Gmail.
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?
can bard be an adblocker on chrome?
I love it.
"provide me a rendered html page with the most relevant links and descriptions for a given topic, completely free of advertising"
Not bad. It’s limited in what it can do but I would probably check Bard if ChatGPT went down.
I have the “AI search” extension enabled in Google search as well and it’s pretty unreliable. Seems like half of my coding questions it hallucinated some function that doesn’t exist.
But if Google release Bard in its current state a year ago most people probably would be using it now, even if it’s inferior.
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.

This explanation makes sense:
the police use NV for "Not Visible"

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".

This software doesn't deactivate the sound of the keyboard. I feel like I am taking crazy pills today.
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.

Funnily enough, I didn’t have issues with Python’s dependency hell before working for AWS, not because we have more dependencies, but because… reasons.
Is it special files that begin with a capital letter, version sets, version filter instances, and massive symlink farms?
> The included charging dock is also a speaker.
I've gotta say, charging docks are a killer feature for me and I don't understand why Apple doesn't do the same.
There used to be the Logitech Base [1] that I still use with the previous-gen (9th) iPad, but the smart connector in the newest iPad (10th gen) is no longer compatible with it, as the angle of the edge changed.
It's been years since I plugged in my phone or AirPods -- I only wirelessly charge. The idea that we should still be plugging in tablets with Lightning or USB-C is bizarre to me. A charging dock is the way to go, and it's so unexpected to me that Google realizes this while Apple doesn't. It's actually the only reason I haven't upgraded my iPad.

I'm not going to get a Pixel Tablet, but I really do like the idea of a charging dock speaker.
It's impossible to escape the Apple/Google duopoly but at least GrapheneOS makes the most out of Android regarding privacy.
I still wish we could get some kind of low resource, stable and mature Android clone instead of Google needlessly increasing complexity but this will over time break app compatibility (Google will make sure of it)
Edit: I do think Pixel devices used to be one of the best but still I'd like to choose my hardware and software separately interoperating via standards
