hey hey hey hey lighten up baby i'm gonna do some tech
0:03
news okay AMD had already softened Intel
0:06
up after the launch of their ryzen 3000 series processors but team red is now
0:11
preparing the knockout punch this is a very very
0:15
slow boxing match yesterday AMD officially unveiled the first two third
0:20
gen threadripper cpus the 24 core 48
0:24
thread 3960x for 13.99 us dollars and the 32
0:29
core 64 thread 3970x
0:33
for 2 grand they're going to launch on november 25th
0:37
alongside the new king of the mainstream horizon lineup the ryzen 9 39 50 x the
0:43
first 16 core mainstream desktop processor AMD says that despite the high
0:48
core count it will still offer the highest single thread performance of any
0:54
ryzen CPU while keeping the same 105
0:58
watt TDP of their other high spec ryzens
1:01
and if some leaked geekbench members are to be believed the 3950x even beats
1:06
Intel's 10th gen hedt part the core i9
1:10
10980xe in both single and multi-core
1:13
performance despite having two fewer cores
1:16
wow but guys let's not forget the real star of
1:20
the show here the athlon 3000g this 49
1:24
dual core quad threaded part is going to shred everyone else in its price point
1:29
when it launches on november 19th look guys just because you think it can't
1:33
doesn't mean it won't never underestimate the little guy yeah
1:37
that's right u.s carriers t-mobile and sprint have
1:41
been trying to get approval for their merger for a year and a half and now
1:45
they're trying to sweeten the deal with a bunch of promises that they'll be able
1:49
to fulfill if regulators let it go through the two companies announced that
1:53
after their merger they will offer free home internet to 10 million low-income
1:59
households for five years and throw in a
2:02
free tablet or laptop although they'll only have a hundred gigs of data per
2:07
year the new t-mobile as the company will apparently be called will also
2:12
offer free unlimited 5g access to every
2:15
public and non-profit u.s state and local police fire and ems agency and
2:22
they will provide a new 15 per month prepaid plan with two gigs of data
2:27
now the merger has been approved by the federal government but it currently
2:31
faces 16 lawsuits from various states concerned about the move reducing
2:36
competition as the number of nationwide wireless carriers would go from four
2:40
down to three that is a 25 reduction
2:44
as a reminder of what a lack of competition can lead to at t recently
2:48
gave its mobile share customers an extra 15 gigs of data along with a 10 price
2:54
increase boom that you can't opt out of well at least we'll get some free stuff
2:58
on our way down the slippery slope
3:02
and this week saw the release of some interesting ai tools research nonprofit
3:07
openai has made the text generating gpt2
3:10
software available to the public the system can actually write articles based
3:16
on a human prompt that are impressively well formulated even if they are mostly
3:21
inaccurate seems like they it learned too much from
3:24
the humans it was ain't based on
3:27
right so research with gpt2 showed that humans find its outputs convincing so
3:32
it's been described as something of a fake news generator openai previously
3:37
said that the tool was simply too dangerous to release to the public i
3:40
mean think of the facebook posts but now they say that there was no evidence of
3:45
misuse in their research well i guess not yet anyway in slightly more
3:49
optimistic news google released teachable machine 2.0 this week which
3:54
lets users train an ai using images video and audio for custom machine
3:58
learning applications so maybe we could like train an ai to detect whether an
4:03
article was written by an ai you know keep them focused on each other so that
4:08
way like skynet never happens it's gonna happen anyway
4:12

lower tier model of one of the beefiest gaming laptops ever and then only

5:50
canada received text messages that had been sent way back in february and had
5:54

6:22
Windows phone could have been the dominant mobile operating system if it
6:26
wasn't for those darn kids except that he was actually talking
6:30
about an antitrust investigation that microsoft faced in the early 2000s when
6:34
Android was taking hold and that might actually be true or it might be that
6:40
