WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.819 apple is reportedly scaling back production of the Vision Pro due to 00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:09.599 several unforeseen issues but I don't get how they didn't see this coming the 00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:14.099 headset has a transparency mode I'm Riley Murdoch this is techlinked and you 00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:19.920 might assume this production reduction is in response to low demand given the 00:00:16.619 --> 00:00:21.600 vision Pro's 3 500 price tag but that 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.260 would presuppose a Darth of people willing to buy overpriced things they 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.820 don't need and that describes almost everyone except me no the cause here 00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:34.320 according to inside sources who spoke to Financial Times is the complexity of the 00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:38.820 headset design leading to difficulties in manufacturing enough of the vision 00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:43.020 Pro's Cutting Edge micro OLED displays Cutting Edge components are a lot like 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.460 Farms during the 1930s Dust Bowl they have disastrously poor yields we don't 00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:51.780 often get the chance to compare Tech to Farms 100 years ago so that was exciting 00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:56.399 we gotta sell it all I always wanted to be a fun Apple's original Target was the 00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.899 production of a million units by 2024 but now they're likely looking at less 00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:04.260 than four hundred thousand which is actually a hundred thousand fewer than 00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:08.280 analysts projected that Apple would sell in its first year showing once and for 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.479 all that analysts do not have precious like Paula treadise from Dune part 2 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.500 coming to theaters November 3rd 2023 made their knives chip and shatter I'm 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:21.119 very excited these production issues have apparently pushed back plans for a 00:01:18.659 --> 00:01:25.500 budget version of The Vision Pro and by budget we obviously mean like Elon 00:01:23.460 --> 00:01:30.960 musk's Dorito budget I assume that he eats a lot he's healthy now die earlier 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.700 and eat well so the Dorito joke stands Intel plans to expand path tracing 00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:40.320 support to integrated graphics and in short path tracing is an upgraded and 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:43.860 more Hardware intensive form of Ray tracing using additional data to more 00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:48.060 accurately simulate the physics of Light which sounds great if you want the fan 00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:51.180 on your high powered gaming PC to more accurately simulate a buzz saw your 00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:56.040 neighbors can hear it but they know you're having a good time if you'd like to experience the difference path 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:01.079 tracing is already available as a mod for some older less GPU intensive games 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:05.280 like Quake 2 it's exactly as brown as you remember but shinier now but hold on 00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:08.880 Intel isn't talking about putting this Hefty new feature into big beefy 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.900 graphics cards they're talking about putting Ray tracing's buff Big Brother 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.819 into comparatively lightweight integrated gpus Intel is presenting new 00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:22.440 research on hyper-efficient new methods for computing light simulation massively 00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:26.220 reducing GPU load perhaps soon the world's grandmas will be able to take 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:30.060 full advantage of photorealistic real-time Graphics while playing saying 00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:35.099 Bridge online on their Chromebooks they got a Discord server and everything 00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:36.599 gamer grandmas rise up in your 00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:40.800 in your home at me 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:46.260 and tick tock's parent company bite dance is threatening to start publishing 00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:48.720 books please no believe it or not but 00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:53.459 many people on the internet can and do read this strange phenomenon means that 00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:57.180 book talk a subset of tick tock that acknowledges the existence of the 00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:01.680 written word has become a Powerhouse when it comes to popularizing otherwise 00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:05.400 obscure novels earlier this year bite dances nascent publishing ARM eighth 00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:09.780 note press started approaching self-published writers in the romance 00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:13.500 novel genre they're like thirst traps but with letters this might be an 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:17.580 interesting opportunity for aspiring authors but it's also raised its share 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:22.260 of concern among the openly literate specifically that bite dance might use 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:25.700 tick tock to squeeze out user-driven viral book recommendations through 00:03:23.940 --> 00:03:30.180 promoting its own Publications traditional Publishers have struggled 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:34.739 with viral marketing but maybe the people who brought you an unending feed 00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:38.220 of bubble gum pop dance Trends and five second strip teases are going to be the 00:03:36.420 --> 00:03:43.140 one to make the case for spending multiple consecutive hours staring at 00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:47.280 words on an unmoving screen no cap on God for real

rabies shots really small ones meta's new 00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:29.759 Twitter competitor threads launches tomorrow fortuitous timing given that 00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:34.199 Twitter is currently even more broken and unusable than usual either it's a 00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:40.259 complete coincidence or Zuckerberg flicked out his tongue and smelt blood 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:44.340 the new site was visible for a few hours earlier today and it does essentially 00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:48.240 look like Twitter as imagined by Facebook beyond the logo which looks 00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:52.320 like a hair you found in your food the decade old GIF hosting service giphy cat 00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:56.820 see I'm trying to please both of you we'll be shutting down September 1st 00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:01.020 after which all content will be deleted giffy cat's parent company Snapchat 00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:04.680 doesn't seem to have a plan to Archive any of the site's material Beyond 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.880 telling users to download their memes while they still can and please share 00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:12.479 your memes with those who need it give me cat has been running poorly for the 00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:17.580 past few months with users experiencing failed uploads extensive downtime and 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:21.840 complete silence from the site's service team giphy cats integration into 00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:26.580 Snapchat might also break a huge number of gifs linked Elsewhere on the web 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:31.979 rendering users conversations like bike dances upcoming novels essentially 00:05:29.220 --> 00:05:36.720 unreadable China has restricted exports of two metals crucial in chip production 00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:39.539 gallium and germanium which is a big deal since it's not like you can pop 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:43.380 down to the Walmart and pick some germanium up they're always out of stock 00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:47.280 they might have geraniums though I'm allergic China produces most of the 00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:51.479 world's supply of Gallimimus and Geronimo so the US is considering 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:56.340 retaliation in the form of restricting Chinese companies access to us-based 00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:03.320 Cloud infrastructure which could severely limit China's ability to keep 00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:06.060 up in the AI arms race trade War 00:06:03.320 --> 00:06:11.100 what is it good for well it's it's probably an okay standing for a real war 00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:12.840 probably so if from the war region of 00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:17.100 France it's just sparkling trade dispute Google obviously wants everyone to talk 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:22.500 about their upcoming phones so we could show you fresh leaked photos oh they 00:06:19.979 --> 00:06:27.660 just leaked of the pixel 8 Pro showing its slightly tweaked rear camera design 00:06:24.180 --> 00:06:28.979 and a sticker with a code named Zuma uh 00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:34.020 seemingly confirming the phone will feature Google's next-gen tensor G3 chip 00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:37.620 but we could also tell you about more interesting news like the fact that the 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:42.360 ultra repairable designed for longevity fairphone 4 is finally available to buy 00:06:40.380 --> 00:06:48.060 in the US thanks to a partnership with Marina Morena a company that makes a d 00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:54.900 Googled privacy focused Fork of Android yeah we ain't scared of the big man hack 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.600 the planet and a new bot service called 00:06:54.900 --> 00:07:02.580 Jolly Roger allows users to get back at telemarketers by wasting their time with 00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:07.199 Meandering rambling conversations like an elderly relative this sounds amazing 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:11.639 in fact one of the Bots personas is an old man who just woke up from a nap who 00:07:09.539 --> 00:07:15.720 uses employees like telling the telemarketer they sound like a former 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:20.099 High School classmate rambling on about needing coffee frequently asking them to 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:24.479 repeat their name and asking them to start over again 00:07:22.020 --> 00:07:30.120 yes the bot otherwise just allows the telemarketer to talk occasionally 00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:32.099 interjecting and uh-huh okay or do 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.940 this all seems like good fun but just wait until the telemarketers are all Ai 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.680 and they're just talking to each other forever in an unending Loop finally we 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:46.500 will have removed all human involvement from the very worst form of human 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.060 interaction we'll be free those guys 00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:52.139 will just keep the economy going on their own and the best form of human 00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:57.319 interaction happens when you come back on Friday for more Tech news 00:07:54.419 --> 00:07:57.319 arguably
