1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,359
due to the nature of entropy time can only move forward never backwards which

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,360
is why we can only tell you what happened yesterday and not what will

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,040
happen tomorrow for now maybe stay tuned

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,520
lottery numbers we're working on it Microsoft has suddenly and unexpectedly

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:23,000
announced that it will be ending support for the Windows subsystem for Android

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,480
which allows Android apps to be downloaded and run on Windows 11 the

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:32,559
company announced the deprecation yesterday and the feature can no longer

8
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:34,520
be in stalled as of today those who

9
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:38,960
currently have Android app support will have another year before support ends

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:43,680
entirely and the apps gradually break and cease to function the feature was

11
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:49,079
first announced in 2021 and debuted a year later but it lacked access to the

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,680
Google Play Store instead relying on the Amazon app store which is what your mom

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,680
means when she says that we have the Google Play Store at home it's also why

14
00:00:55,239 --> 00:01:02,359
apparently nobody used this feature your mom also thinks Jeff Bezos is Pit Bull

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:07,080
so it might not be obvious why somebody would want to download Pokémon go to

16
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:11,680
their desktop but the idea was probably to increase the amount of apps that can

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:16,400
be reasonably run on Windows powered touchscreens while also providing an

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:21,000
answer to Chrome os's Android support and macOS's iOS app support while

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,119
Microsoft didn't say why they're ditching Android app support now it's

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,479
unlikely that anyone will really lose sleep over it as apparently no one

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:34,439
really cared about using Android apps on Windows in the first place following

22
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:39,119
sustained criticism of its at best half-ass attempt to comply with the eu's

23
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:44,280
digital markets act Apple has done some soul searching and responded with a few

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,960
gentle tweaks to its current compliance plan specifically Apple simplified the

25
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:53,759
process for developers to accept its awful new business terms and added a

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,640
one-time termination option if devs want to revert back to the previous less

27
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:01,840
awful terms but still kind of awful press this button to give us more money

28
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,119
you didn't like it in there did you the company will also no longer require a

29
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:11,120
letter of credit from makers of rival app marketplaces so long as they have an

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,920
established app business in the EU and a developer account in good standing that

31
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:20,800
is at least 2 years old one party you'd expect to respond positively to these

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:24,800
changes is epic games best known for multiple antitrust lawsuits against

33
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Apple and Google and also some video games but it turns out that only a month

34
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:35,400
after reinstating epic games developer account Apple has once again terminated

35
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:39,519
it calling the gaming company verifiably untrustworthy given its past Behavior

36
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:43,760
though it's unclear what in the past month made them change their minds about

37
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:48,640
changing their minds while Google has seemed to be responding in good faith to

38
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,800
the eu's new rules epic games is also accusing them of half-ass compliance

39
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,519
following a Google blog post that basically goes over how they already are

40
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,959
in compliance with the new rules despite charging up to 27 % on web transactions

41
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,319
that they aren't even involved in processing hopefully for Apple and

42
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,280
Google these quarter buttock changes

43
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,760
will be enough when the compliance deadline comes which is March 7th

44
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:19,519
otherwise known as tomorrow and if there's one thing the EU is known for

45
00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:24,519
it's putting their entire ass into everything they do the EU is most of a

46
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:29,760
continent it's it's got a pretty big ass yeah whole assing everything according

47
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:33,560
to anthropic the other giant AI Tech

Claude 3's lightweight and Ultra lightweight variants Sonet and Haiku

53

3.5 one of anthropics prompt engineers

55
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:06,959
Alex Albert even shared a cute anecdote

56
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:09,439
where Claude 3 Opus seemed to show meta

57
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:13,959
awareness that it was under evaluation the test involved asking Opus to find a

58
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:17,720
needle in a Hy stack by answering a question using a small piece of

59
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,800
information buried in a large collection of documents equivalent to around

60
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:25,120
200,000 tokens in size after being asked

61
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:29,120
about pizza toppings Claude responded with the correct phrase from the

62
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:33,520
documents then noted that the sentence seemed out of place in the rest of the

63
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:38,440
material saying quote I suspect this pizza topping

64
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,400
fact quotes may have been inserted as a

65
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,199
joke or to test if I was paying attention it's kind of amazing to see a

66
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,840
robot that seems capable of determining the intent of a test especially when I

67
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,160
still can't even tell when people are hitting on me or white kids love

Tesla's German gigafactory was forced to pause production yesterday

80
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:49,840
after an electricity pylon close to the facility was set on fire by environment

81
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:53,759
activists who identify themselves as the volcano group I'm guessing they're

82
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,800
pyromaniacs who also want to help the planet it's like a Dexter thing I have

83
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:02,600
to let it out somehow my Dark Passenger he's hot my hot dark hot my hot Dark

84
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Passenger unfortunately the arson attack also knocked out power to thousands of

85
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:10,360
residents nearby not including the 100

86
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:14,680
or so environmentalists camping in the surrounding Forest to try and prevent

87
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:19,919
Tesla from chopping it down one group called Robin Wood told the BBC it had

88
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:24,960
nothing to do with the fire okay that's a star let's be honest and this is why

89
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:29,960
LMG hasn't expanded to Germany there are scores of angry Germans hiding in the

90
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:36,039
woods and they all hate each other have you seen clous new European safety rules

91
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:41,400
will require car manufacturers to bring back physical controls as of January

92
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:47,960
2026 turn signals windshield wiper controls the car horn you know Hazard

93
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:53,000
warning lights and any built-in SOS features need to have tangible controls

94
00:06:50,479 --> 00:06:56,520
for cars to earn a five-star safety rating so drivers don't have to take

95
00:06:54,840 --> 00:07:00,960
their eyes off the road to fiddle with a touchcreen which who thought of this in

96
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:05,520
the first place even more upsetting Europe will require car makers to stop

97
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,280
giving drivers complimentary sleep masks and Xanax prescriptions what are they

98
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:15,759
supposed to do reality's hard Oregon has passed a

99
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:22,240
right to repair bill so competent Apple won't stop bitching about it Senate Bill

100
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:25,319
1596 requires manufacturers to make any

101
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,759
documentation tool part or other device

102
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:33,000
they provide to authorized service providers available to device owners and

103
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:36,639
independent repair shops while apple is

104
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,599
mostly in favor of the bill mostly dead

105
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,360
the company claims the wording May force them to allow third-party biometric

106
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:49,039
sensors to work in their devices that could lead to unauthorized access of

107
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,800
users personal data and that does sound

108
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:55,000
scary but Apple also expects me to trust some guy just because he has a blue

109
00:07:53,479 --> 00:08:00,680
shirt on and I feel like that might undercut their point in fact I trust them until I

110
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,479
notice that their shirts blue wait a second where am I I went shopping for

111
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:08,879
groceries Google says that it's adjusting its search ranking system to

112
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:13,520
downgrade the position of content that exists primarily to summarize other

113
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:18,759
content a category that includes SEO spam but also an absolute Avalanche of

114
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:22,960
machine generated content Google of course has been in a NeverEnding arms

115
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:27,759
race against spam and lowquality content since the dawn of time by which I mean

116
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:31,919
1998 however Google Now seems to be tacitly acknowledging growing criticism

117
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:36,680
that its search results are getting worse in no small part due to the

118
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:41,760
increasing availability and cheapness of relatively highquality AI Tools in

119
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:46,680
particular Google says it will Target large content Mills and reputation abuse

120
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,519
which is where otherwise respectable sites allow themselves to be used to

121
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:54,880
raise the profile of certain kinds of spam like a fine dining restaurant that

122
00:08:52,959 --> 00:09:00,200
also sells TVs that fell off the back of a truck if you want it chicken pom only

123
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:05,000
comes with spaghetti but this one LCD it's got 56 channels and Linux that's an

124
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:10,320
operating system has hit an all-time high market share of

125
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,600
4.03% of worldwide desktop os's

126
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:17,920
according to research firm stat counter that's a respectable bump up from the

127
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:24,399
1.58% of desktops and laptops that ran Linux 5 years ago in February 2019 while

128
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:28,760
by the Numbers the open source OS is still Small Potatoes Windows dominant

129
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:33,200
market share has been falling for the past decade and even macOS seems to

130
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:39,160
have more or less plateaued at around 20% the trend lines are looking good for

131
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:42,480
Linux long term so we wish a happy 4%

132
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,920
day and a godspeed to the Linux lovers

133
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:50,959
dorkiest of the Nerds I'm sorry for not calling it gnu Linux the CrossFit of the

134
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,880
nerd community and if you're dorky enough come back on Friday for more Tech

135
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:59,680
news we're going to make so many references to sub routines and logic

136
