  • My understanding of false accepts is when it think it hears the wake word and starts recording.

    Sometimes it happens when I watch TV or rarely in a normal conversation.

    If this happens, what else would you expect to happen? It’s going to behave exactly as if you woke it.

    Stop talking if you notice, but unless you expect a perfect wake word rate with zero mistakes there’s nothing that can be done.

    Now, if Google is intentionally waking it when it knows it’s not the right word that’s another matter entirely.

    Edit: I’d refuse to accept any wrong doikg as well if it’s legit false accepts. But if it was intentional, this isn’t even a slap on the wrist for them.



  • Over generation is very big. I agree batteries are better, though.

    We need to be able to support peak winter heating and peak summer cooling and we need to do that with excess margin.

    Everything in between we have excess power, unless it’s something like hydro dams which are easy to control and aren’t a big extra cost and part of how they naturally operate.

    We generally use gas peaker plants to help which we can turn off or on, but it’s more efficient to not do that, and those are expensive.

    It would also make it easier to build big nuclear plants if we could manage the off peak load into batteries for the day.
