00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.960
hey hey hey hey lighten up baby i'm gonna do some tech

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.120
news okay AMD had already softened Intel

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.559
up after the launch of their ryzen 3000 series processors but team red is now

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:17.600
preparing the knockout punch this is a very very

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:24.400
slow boxing match yesterday AMD officially unveiled the first two third

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:25.240
gen threadripper cpus the 24 core 48

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:33.280
thread 3960x for 13.99 us dollars and the 32

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.520
core 64 thread 3970x

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.920
for 2 grand they're going to launch on november 25th

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:45.920
alongside the new king of the mainstream horizon lineup the ryzen 9 39 50 x the

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:51.280
first 16 core mainstream desktop processor AMD says that despite the high

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:58.000
core count it will still offer the highest single thread performance of any

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.359
ryzen CPU while keeping the same 105

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.440
watt TDP of their other high spec ryzens

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:10.040
and if some leaked geekbench members are to be believed the 3950x even beats

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:13.439
Intel's 10th gen hedt part the core i9

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.520
10980xe in both single and multi-core

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.680
performance despite having two fewer cores

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:23.200
wow but guys let's not forget the real star of

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.439
the show here the athlon 3000g this 49

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:31.759
dual core quad threaded part is going to shred everyone else in its price point

00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:35.439
when it launches on november 19th look guys just because you think it can't

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.200
doesn't mean it won't never underestimate the little guy yeah

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:42.720
that's right u.s carriers t-mobile and sprint have

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.880
been trying to get approval for their merger for a year and a half and now

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.360
they're trying to sweeten the deal with a bunch of promises that they'll be able

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:56.320
to fulfill if regulators let it go through the two companies announced that

00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:02.640
after their merger they will offer free home internet to 10 million low-income

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.040
households for five years and throw in a

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:10.239
free tablet or laptop although they'll only have a hundred gigs of data per

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:15.840
year the new t-mobile as the company will apparently be called will also

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:18.720
offer free unlimited 5g access to every

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:25.440
public and non-profit u.s state and local police fire and ems agency and

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:30.239
they will provide a new 15 per month prepaid plan with two gigs of data

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:34.640
now the merger has been approved by the federal government but it currently

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.400
faces 16 lawsuits from various states concerned about the move reducing

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:44.640
competition as the number of nationwide wireless carriers would go from four

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.000
down to three that is a 25 reduction

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:51.040
as a reminder of what a lack of competition can lead to at t recently

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.480
gave its mobile share customers an extra 15 gigs of data along with a 10 price

00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:02.239
increase boom that you can't opt out of well at least we'll get some free stuff

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:04.239
on our way down the slippery slope

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:10.640
and this week saw the release of some interesting ai tools research nonprofit

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.040
openai has made the text generating gpt2

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:18.720
software available to the public the system can actually write articles based

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.560
on a human prompt that are impressively well formulated even if they are mostly

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.920
inaccurate seems like they it learned too much from

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.640
the humans it was ain't based on

00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:34.879
right so research with gpt2 showed that humans find its outputs convincing so

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.280
it's been described as something of a fake news generator openai previously

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.519
said that the tool was simply too dangerous to release to the public i

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:47.920
mean think of the facebook posts but now they say that there was no evidence of

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:51.680
misuse in their research well i guess not yet anyway in slightly more

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.480
optimistic news google released teachable machine 2.0 this week which

00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:00.879
lets users train an ai using images video and audio for custom machine

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.920
learning applications so maybe we could like train an ai to detect whether an

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:09.439
article was written by an ai you know keep them focused on each other so that

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:15.439
way like skynet never happens it's gonna happen anyway

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:19.919

don't know they're crunchy steam's cloud gaming service might be

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:55.680
more complicated than a simple competitor to google stadia or xcloud

00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:59.680
the latest steam client beta makes reference to steam cloud gaming

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:05.199

00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:10.639
game streaming service so then what is it called when you access one streaming

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:15.440
service through another streaming service

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:18.080

lag bagging the first GPU upgrade kits are now available for the alienware 51m

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:28.000
gaming laptop now dell promised that you would be able to upgrade and now

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.479
you can you can stick in an rtx 2070 or

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:35.199
2080 along with a new cooler if you so choose the 51m was already available

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:39.039
with those GPU options but the upgrades are available for those who bought a

00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:42.960
lower tier model of one of the beefiest gaming laptops ever and then only

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:48.000
realized later that they had a bunch of money burning a hole in their pocket

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:52.160
that's just bad planning yesterday tons of people in the u.s and

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:57.759
canada received text messages that had been sent way back in february and had

00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:02.320
been presumed to be lost in the ether carriers say that the glitch was caused

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:06.720
by message service provider cineverse man that's that's a great name for the

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:11.280
ai that takes over the world isn't it while the company was performing

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.759
internal maintenance more than 150 000

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.440
previously undelivered messages were sent so if you got a message from your

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.560
ex or whatever don't reply

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:24.080
they still don't deserve you in an interview this week bill gates said that

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:28.319
Windows phone could have been the dominant mobile operating system if it

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.080
wasn't for those darn kids except that he was actually talking

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.360
about an antitrust investigation that microsoft faced in the early 2000s when

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:42.400
Android was taking hold and that might actually be true or it might be that

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.360
bill was just in a sour mood from having to deal with all the people on twitter

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.880
