Google entering in Medical arena

Google has recently took another step towards making their AI smarter and quicker. It is not only performing the action quickly but wisely as well. Like most of us has already noticed during our Video search and audio search, which Google has implemented last year, some of us are so used to about the auto suggested replies in our mail by AI that we haven’t even realized it. Take an example of Google Lens. AI is boon for all of us.

Google has upgraded the TPU, which gives way more speedy response. From this July on wards, every one of us will realize the smarter way of writing / responding emails via Gmail. All the current medical apps and software should start thinking about the improvement as Google has entered in this arena to save precious time of doctors and patients.

The Google assistance will now be available in six different voices and there are chances, while you ask some task to be performed by Google assistance, it may make a telephone call on your behalf to book your reservation / appointment and update you with the status.

This is the time to be a part of this Sci-Fi world. Better to buckle up and get ready!!

Watch the Google I/O for more details.

Cheers!!

Mail server sends your mail to someone else

Most of us may know about the MTA “message transfer agent” or “mail transfer agent” or in a simple word mail relay, which basically circulate our messages to the recipients. Its job is sending the message to the right addressee.

There is a defined way to complete this task, MUA – SMTP – MTA – MDA – POP / IMAP – MUA. I’ll not go in further technical details here, still I want to understand, what are the chances of failure in this process, where the mail doesn’t reach to the actual recipient, instead landing to other’s mail box. At which step, we add another level of check to fix this issue?

Interesting? Believe me it is happening. I am not talking about the mails are not delivering to other mail recipient, I am talking about mails delivering to wrong recipient. Imagine your salary slip, your bank accounts details, travel details, password reset requests are received by other person who is having similar mail id as you do, with an extra dot “.”.

While searching over internet, I have received few mailing issues, however don’t know how will this issue be fixed?

I think the simplest way to fix it, will be to inform the person about this issue and keep on forwarding these messages to that person who belongs to these messages, but the question is why? Am I responsible to receive others message? Is he responsible for Google mail server, which is delivering his message to me? Or is it Google mail server, which forwards his messages to me?

Someone has to test it, collect the failure rate and fix it and I don’t think I have Google’s mail server’s access yet 🙂

Future is here!!
