Alexa is mostly good with timers/alarms, but occasionally will swap 15/50 or 8/80.

If you miss hearing the distinction in the confirmation, you'll miss the scheduled event

Edit: They also have distinct classification of alarm/timers. You can use either word to create one but checking what you've set or trying to cancel will result in 'no timers/alarms' set if your request doesn't match their system design.

I use Google Keep for that :). Share it with my wife, we both have the widget in our phone desktops (or whatever the home screen is called). Works very nice.

It's called a home screen. Never heard anyone use the term "phone desktop".

My fucking Google Home can't even figure out how to play the auto playlist "My Likes" on YouTube Music. Previously, I could say "Play my Thumbs Up" and it could do so on Google Play Music. It keeps playing a song called "My Likes". Jesus fucking Christ, Google. If I say "Play my My Likes playlist" something random happens. Do these guys even use their product? I'm just glad this album didn't come out before the force…

Most "Ok Google" assistance feels like a gimmick to me, but here's something very simple I'd love to have working: I watch a lot of YouTube on my phone when cooking, I even built a cardboard stand for my phone for this reason. What I want is for YT to respond to these voice commands: - Pause video. - Play video. - Rewind 10 seconds. - Skip the (expletive) ad Sadly, this doesn't work. And it's the only voice assistanc…

I hooked up Kalliope[1] to Home Assistant to do exactly this, except for the ad skipping voice command.

I coined "Brogdon's Law" (probably not original to me by any stretch) several years ago: The answer to any technical problem will present itself within 30 seconds (sometimes minutes) of asking "Hey, can you take a look at this?"

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cunningham%27s_Law Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer." The concept is named after Ward Cunningham, father of the wiki. According to Steven McGeady, the law's author, Wikipedia may be the most well-known demonstration of this law. Cunningham's Law can be considered the Internet equivalent…

"If you go to a Linux forum and ask for help fixing your WiFi driver, everyone will ignore you."

"If, instead, you say 'Linux sucks, you can't even get a f*&$ing WiFi driver working!' thousands of people will solve the problem for you."

There was a band named 'Various Artists' but no one could find their albums.

If you take a look at recent neural net papers for dialogue and question answering you'll see amazing things. It is really mind boggling they don't improve the commercial product, maybe it's still too expensive to run for the general public.

Similarly, they say English language Search is powered by Transformers. But when I want to perform searches it often switches the intent to something wrong. It's a blunt tool, not a precision instrument.

This is literally the only useful thing voice assistance does in my life.

For those uninitiated, PEBKAC = problem exists between keyboard and chair, aka user error.

Siri does that too. For some reason its always 14/40 for me. The number of times I've gotten shockingly early timers for the drier...

Vaguely reminiscent of when Marco V released a track called "C:\ del *.mp3"[0] out of frustration towards mp3 rips. Still amusing to me that he didn't quite get the command right. [0] https://www.discogs.com/MarcoV-Cdelmp3-Solarize/release/1334...

what would the correct command be on windows?
