I've not read the article, but this came into my inbox today, which you might be interested in. An in-depth look at Project CETI, a research effort that seeks to use AI to understand the vocalizations of sperm whales off the coast of Dominica.
It seems to me that the update process is slightly more jarring on OS X than it is on Windows (though I haven't used the Windows version so I am just assuming). When I finish using Chrome on OS X I will close the last tab with Cmd + W, so Chrome is still open and therefore it won't be able to install the update next time I open a tab. On Windows I would close the last tab and the application exits completely – though it might take slightly longer to open Chrome each time, I will never really have to manually restart Chrome to get the update installed.
