Today we’re announcing changes at Niantic that will set us on a bold new course. We have reached an agreement for Scopely to acquire Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter Now, and the incredible teams working on these experiences. And we’re spinning off our pioneering geospatial AI business into a new company, Niantic Spatial Inc. Read more in our blog here. https://t.co/it9xAFpysZ
(2) Also in Building Zero, at some point we got fancy Japanese Toto toilets installed with infrared (?) remote controls mounted in each stall to control the features.
It turns out that reflective paint in the ceiling of a bathroom can cause infrared signals to bounce off the ceiling and control different toilets in other stalls at inopportune moments.
Soon thereafter, we moved to installing only one remotely controlled toilet per bathroom, and this approach has stayed true in (nearly?) every other Google building. 😂
Three new SGE updates!
1) “SGE while browsing” is now available for the Google App and Chrome on desktop. On some web pages you visit, you can tap to see an AI-generated list of the key points an article covers, with links that will take you straight to what you’re looking for directly on the page. We’ll also help you dig deeper with “Explore on page,” where you can see questions the article answers and jump to the relevant section to learn more.
2) Starting today, we’ll add new capabilities to SGE so it’s easier to understand and debug generated code. Segments of code in overviews will now be color-coded with syntax highlighting, so it’s faster and easier to identify elements like keywords, comments and strings, helping you better digest the code you see at a glance.
3) Soon, you’ll be able to hover over certain words to preview definitions and see related diagrams or images on the topics related to science, economics, history and more.
