@@paintpaintpaintco.6039 he was not in "How does AI actually work" but that was because it was completely hosted by David. he wasn't supposed to be part of that episode at all. he has never missed any episode till now. even when episodes were twice a month and even after the schedule became weekly. he's always been here.
@@NetvoTV "How does AI actually work" was hosted by David and it was not a regular episode and also not supposed to have Marques in it. he's not missed a regular episode ever before this.
MacBook Airs and iMacs are always announced in June because they’re targeted to students who get them by September. MacBook Pros are usually announced in September/October because that’s when companies use up their budgets and determine what next year’s budgets will be.
As a maxed out M1 Max power user (Commercial director who is frequently editing intensive footage), I still have no reason to upgrade. My machine is a beast for what I do, and I foresee it keeping up for years to come. It's great that Apple is improving on their silicon, but seriously, they made an incredible product out of the gate and there's little reason to upgrade if you already own a high end M1 device.
@@anita.b not having the ability to upgrade the ram or ssd is their trickery. And if somewhat 5 years later most M1 still alive, they will unleash second trick, which is software block. classic apple.
@@anita.b I was talking about the touch bar bugging out and being unresponsive. What smartphone touch screen just stops working? And also, even if that happens, it's a straight-forward fix that most people understand.
Came here as a podcast listener just to say, “you fooled me!” I went back and listened to it after and it’s noticeably not Marquez. But there’s enough resemblance that my brain fell for it in the moment
Hi. It’s me. I’m the iMac problem… a 44 year old suburban mom, who just so happens to have a pretty purple M1 iMac in my kitchen. And yes, I do primarily use Safari and Excel on it. Sometimes, light editing of family photos. Apple almost gets it… I might even have upgraded, if they’d bundled usb-c accessories. Sigh. I’m pretty nerdy for a middle-aged woman, and an avid WVFRM listener… but still probably not your primary demographic. Just remember next time - your internet mom is watching. 😉
Anyone who likes tech is our target demographic! But I have to ask. When you say kitchen, like where in your kitchen? Right on the counter? By the sink? On a kitchen island? Are you preparing food near it?!
Haha, nobody cooks meals *right* next to the iMac, but my kids will occasionally leave half-eaten food on the desk. Does that count? 🤣 Our kitchen has a nook that sort of flows right into the family room. The iMac sits on a small desk between the breakfast table and the sectional. So it’s kind of like Schrödinger’s iMac… it exists both in the kitchen and the family room, simultaneously!
@@PrincessNybor That's why I asked! I had a lot of friends growing up who had houses with kind of that same nook area on the outskirts of their kitchen. Honestly, that's a great place for it. When we're joking around we're usually talking about the ads of people with one like right on the kitchen island next to where they're preparing food
The M3 caching thing is about the onchip memory not on the SoC that really fast memory is only a few megabytes big and has nothing todo with the amount of normal memory (8 to 128gig). The reuse of that smaller cache can have a huge effect on performance since any freed memory there will mean a thread doesn't need togo to normal memory.
18:34 - any Apple device that has Face ID has a toggle for attention aware features. This basically uses the Face ID sensors to check if you’re looking at your device or not. If you are, the display won’t time out.
Another awsm ep, thanks ❤ Also, loved the Linus Penguin ref. Took me back to my college days and I actually drew a nifty little armored penguin for my dept head who was hardcore Linux 🖤
Seeing all of these twitter trolls lose their minds over “shot on iPhone” and arguing how it’s not actually shot only on iPhone is so dumb. “Shot on iPhone, yeah right with $50000 of equipment around it” BUT THE IPHONE CAPTURED THAT IMAGE
18:35 For what it's worth the modern pixel phones do this too, you have a toggle in the display settings to keep the screen on if it recognises you're looking at it.
When the cat’s away… 😅 I don’t think I previously appreciated the marshalling Marques does to keep it tight. A fun show though. Love that OK Cupid became “Occupied” on the title slide.
I'm sure this isn't going to be a common sentiment but having an episode where David and Andrew have more space to talk is amazing. I like Marques a lot too but it's just a refreshing change for this week. :D
Hey guys, beep-boop, ba-ba… Whenever I code, I put WVFRM on shuffle. It’s as if I enjoy the task more while listening to this podcast! Most of the time, I don’t even mind if it’s an old episode. It genuinely makes me laugh while I solve errors and creates a soothing environment. Thank you, guys!
For that extra 200, More screen + XDR 120 Hz ProMotion + 1600 Nit HDR MiniLED display + better speakers + fan + ports + powerful adapter Ellis, this is the best you can get for $200
What you all missed about the whole "Meta/Facebook paid free ads topic" was that's it's mainly about privacy due to privacy directives in the EU. The whole spiele about it being about ads is the angle Meta wants us to focus on. The free tier has ads, but also collects a LOT more of your data. You're prompted to accept this and can't use your account until you've made a choice, with the only other option being that you have to get the paid version.
I knew a guy who was paralized once and he had a tablet he controlled 100% with his eyes. He was losing his ability to talk so this was an option that he was learning to use for when he couldnt use voice control. This was as far back as like 6-7 Years ago. Had it hooked up to a TV or projector even.
*Constructive Feedback* Thanks for another waveform podcast team, held it together without your star player but still enjoyable! For what it’s worth I love listening to the podcast about all the news happening in the tech world that I do not have the capacity to keep up with. But I have just noticed in the last few takes/weeks there have been some inaccuracy or lack of knowledge about what I would think is an obvious fact to you guys in this industry. Would love to see more takes and discussion where people are knowledgeable on the matter. Case example of the attention feature on pixel, Samsung and iPhone (still exists but was reported at “18:30” that its a past feature) and the discussion about cars and Nissan GTR last week. You guys are awesome love listening to the banter. Let’s make sure we also ensure you cover your bases on knowledge before discussing to your million of viewers who may take your perspective as reality of the facts. Hope this helps and keep up the great work team! 🙌
David is the one person from this podcast I can see myself hangout with. He's so cool. I could actually imagine a double date that consists of my girlfriend and I with his girlfriend and him.
Speaking of people not buying M2 as much as M1 (Around minute 26:00) I just switched to Mac, and found an amazing deal for an M2 Mac Mini with the full-size touchID keyboard, trackpad, and mouse. All black/dark versions, all current-gen, for $550! Later learned, using a SMART reader, that the SSD only has 26 hours of power-on time! Meaning the whole system is practically brand new! Seller said they thought they'd use it more, but they pretty much only used their iPad. It did have about 100 power-on events, according to the SMART data, but they BARELY used it. Gah I'm so happy with the luck I had in this find! It's making me even happier with the switch from Windows xD
Bought the Mac on Tuesday last week. Finished installing Ventura after their delayed reset (Risky, but hey I knew where they lived I guess) that night. Once confirmed it wasn't locked or whatever, I set it up on my main monitor, and started taking apart my PC. It's now Friday, and I've got it setup with a VESA mount on the back of my monitor. And my PC is in pieces, prepping for Craigslist listings xD
I already knew I was gonna like the trackpad, as I've used the 1st gen trackpad a few times on my brother in law's iMac. Gonna use it like 99% of the time x'D The keyboard.. I'm trying it out. So far it's alright, but I hate not having easy features to orient myself on it. I've had numerous times where I go to type something, and my hands are off by one key to the left or right. Besides that, it's acceptable to me. I can type mostly without messing up (as in, the much lower travel compared to a mechanical keyboard. And the flat-ish nature of it) I don't plan on ever using the magic mouse, but I'll hang onto it. Gonna sell it if I don't use it within the first few weeks.
I think the memory bandwidth change isn’t binning so much as they’re saving money reducing the transistors dedicated to the memory bus by maybe eliminating a controller or channel (3 controllers instead of 4). Probably all the devices with memory in multiples of 3 don’t need 4 controllers. Apple did the same with SSD controllers in the Studio iirc.
I don't understand the arguments that: "Oh, shot on iPhone but what about all the equipment???" You guys think if there was a Red or Sony camera in there, they wouldn't have been using all the same equipment? The crazy part is they changed the camera they would normally use in their expensive productions and no one realized. That's amazing to me.
The Neopets thing reminded me so hard of Webkinz and how I definitely lied about my age, which in hindsight is probably weirder since it was a 35 year old playing online with stuffed animals
Admitting you were wrong about the GTR was a good call. Yeah it doesn't compare to the super car you drove recently. But it still holds it's place as a proper track car. As far as street legal gasoline production cars go.
Me looking at the thumbnail before watching the video😮 ... Then me looking at the position of that robot arm in the thumbnail after watching the video😢 ...
I was not hearing Marcques on David's voice in the intro, but I definitely did somewhere in the middle while my eyes were away from the screen. You do sound the same.
49:38 can we talk about that by the end of next year ALL "small electronic devices" have to be USB-C? so apple needs to change the mouse, keyboard and trackpad anyways in the next 13 month. + all charging cables need to support 100 watt.
I don’t think it’s a mystery that Apple is focusing on graphics and memory management and is advancing their chip-release schedule quickly. I think their Spacial Computing future (with VisionPro) will need this sort of processing power and efficiency, and the faster they can get those chips mass-produced (to drop costs) and real-world tested, the better. And getting game developers on board, with the unique skills they bring, will also be important to Spacial Computing and the viability of a headset that will be difficult to market. And as a side note, once game developers are aboard, gaming (on tertiary devices like AppleTV) might finally turn into a real revenue stream for Apple and pave the way for a next-gen AppleTV that people would upgrade to (because there’s nothing Apple could add today that would make it worth doing). In other words, there is no way this is ‘random’. Apple has a plan and it’s undoubtedly in support of the platform they’ve banked on being the ‘future’. And like was said in this video, they’re thinking four years ahead.
58:45 I think you’re referring to Backdoor attacks where images in the training dataset of ML models get injected with “triggers” which are just some type of small patch of pixels. The injected images are then intentionally mislabeled to cause the model to make invalid predictions for those types of images. Basically, it makes the model behave as normal unless the trigger is present which causes the image to be wrongly classified in the case of image classification. The same thing could probably be replicated for generative models like stable diffusion or even an LLM. The thing is a malicious actor needs access to the dataset to leave the “Backdoor” open within the model, but that’s usually not the case with commercial AI models because a lot of safety nets are put in place to prevent these types of attacks from happening.
33:40 If the bus width is smaller it's probably just because the die is smaller. No one has tested the new macs so hard to say, but I would assume it's not going to impact performance basically at all.
so glad I wasn't the only one who was very confused about there being a MacBook pro with the base M3 chip. like Ellis said, that's barely better than a top spec model M2 MacBook Air. and on top of that, there will inevitably be an M3 MacBook Air, so an M3 MacBook Pro makes literally no sense also, loved the rdcworld1 shout-out 😆
Trivia Discussion: "What is the name of the Operating System (OS) that runs on Honor phones" I will argue that the technically correct answer, which is the best kind of correct, is Android. Every vendor or company that wants to use Android on their devices need to modify certain aspects of the operating system to work with their specific hardware, but these modifications are minimal relative to the entire Android code base, and most of the modifications are usually User Interfaces, hence the name Magic UI for this particular case. The spirit of the question relates to the modifications that the vendor make and how they are marketed. So maybe, a more accurate question would have been: "What is the name of the version of the user interface that runs on Honor phones". Just my 2 cents
