I really like watching Marques and the lads but I think podcasting from Apple's studio undermines the trust and credibility point quite a bit frankly.

[@johnngo4653]

@@lindinforester How is that if they openly criticize Apple's carbon neutral initiative in this episode? Even saying that Apple throwing away their perfectly fine leather chairs is counterintuitve to mission, and how making any product cannot technically be fully carbon neutral.

Using machine learning to condense machine learning models to fit on your phone is the 2020s equivalent of using Limewire to download Limewire Pro from the 2000s

What about using a combination of machine learning and AI to reintegrate the quantum modelling for the augmented reality components of the neural net?

48:10 Nvidia didn’t “create” ray tracing, it’s been a thing in Movie Animation for years they figured out how to do it in real time. Similar to neural networks it’s mostly a Computational thing.

[@jimmcclarty]

I had a comp sci project doing still frame ray tracing in the mid 90s not sure when the concept was invented. Still like you guys though.

[@jotwee63]

Exactly, raytracing is sooo last century

I will say. The ability to play full blown console games on the 15 pro is amazing and sold me on getting the 15 pro. It’s not going to be a huge deal for everyone but I prefer mobile gaming to consoles. I will definitely be buying and playing AC Mirage as soon as it comes out on the 15.

[@sansebo]

Zooming digitally before pressing the shutter makes a substantial difference. The iPhone (only can speak for the regular 14) already fills with it's computational photography the missing pixels to get you the same output size as fully zoomed out. Also depending on the scene it sharpens and doing all kinds of stuff differently. For example taking a picture of some writings of your universities professors blackboard from last row is much better readable when you first zoom in and then take the picture. Maybe also another video to test these out.

[@robocobrabot]

This is true. The exposure is also way better.

[@eduardoandresserrato6189]

I just tried the double tap from the accessibility settings on my s7 and it worked flawlessly. A shame Apple hates supporting their old devices with new features, the excuse that they used regarding the better sensor doesn't hold much water.

[@jbscoelho]

loved the show... amazing energy!!

[@EverythingProCal]

6:44 It’s not system in processor, it’s system in package. The processor refers to the CPU only, The SoC refers to the M1 style chips with all the essential components fabricated in the same die, like the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, RAM, in the same chip, and the SiP is basically the entire system packaged for space savings. With Apple Watch it has always been a SiP, and there was no rebranding.

[@MrBreazyyy]

How are the headphones setup? The normal kabels should be too short to make it to the mixer right?

[@JoshuaOlujide]

I genuinely believe that one of the biggest not talked about flaws of smartwatches is that they need both hands to operate them. The double tap will be a game changer for how people interact with smartwatches. Imagine a future where smartwatches have Vision Pro camera tech and you can select things on screen with your eyes and just double tap to select 🤯 (P.S: Please tell me someone remembers the "tilt-to-scroll" feature from the LG G Watch from like 2014. THAT'S a feature that needs to come back to smartwatches today 😭). Great episode as always!!!

[@emmanuelogunlana877]

I don't know if you've seen the series The Peripheral. It's a futuristic themed dystopia where the use of hand gestures to control visual and audio input is used. Just wanted to say how cool that kind of tech would be.

[@known-bug]

Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I just watched the intro and the feature you're talking about that Apple introduced regarding dogs/cats/people is about recognizing SPECIFIC dogs/cats/people. Dogs and cats now show up in the "People" section of the photos app renamed "People, Pets, and Places". You can name these specific dogs and cats and then new photos taken of them will automatically be recognized as that dog or cat and be named appropriately.

[@Manganellia1]

Not quite, we're talking about the new portrait mode that claims it will auto recognize people/cats/dogs and if it does, will also use the depth sensor so that you can retroactively add bokeh even if you originally take a normal photo.

[@known-bug]

@@Manganellia1 I JUST got to that part of the show and the context makes that clear. Thanks for clarifying here as well!

Correction: Nvidia didn't invent ray tracing, this tech has existed since the mid 1900s or something. However there were no proper real-time implementations of that feauture until Nvidia decided to give it a shot.

[@jebo4jc]

Intel got close. Then there was the Open RT group. Nvidia was 3rd in line at best. This part of the video got a big 👎 from me

[@eduardoregueiracampos]

Mid 1900s seems like a stretch 😅

[@impointr]

@@eduardoregueiracampos The first algorithms were presented in 1968 by Arthur Appel, while the idea of ray tracing technically comes from the 16th century. The first time ray tracing was proposed to model global illumination was in 1980 by Turner Whitted.

[@eduardoregueiracampos]

@@impointr 🤯 whoa, thanks for that!

[@tiagomaqz]

The carbon neutral topic really interests me. Specially because they are doing most things by themselves without being pushed into it. I agree with the double standard Marques mentioned but also agree that it’s really positive.

[@rcm024]

Just because I know David likes to have his facts straight, I want to point out that Nvidia did not create ray tracing. Pixar was using it for years before Nvidia released their RTX cards. What Nvidia did though, was to bring real-time ray tracing to the fore with their specialized hardware accelerators. From Wikipedia: "Using a computer for ray tracing to generate shaded pictures was first accomplished by Arthur Appel in 1968."

[@leomlex]

Question: As the pro model is slightly smaler, does the new cases fit for both models?

[@joshuacst]

Andrew doesn't seem comfortable using an iPad instead of his laptop 😅

[@Manganellia1]

I wanted to use it because of the stupid hand strap I had on the back, but the way the lounge chairs sat + the mic stand it was just kind of in the way and didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

To add to that beginning conversation. IOS already has basically a real live Pokédex feature with the camera. Any picture you take of an animal, plant, or food, the camera will recognize and tell you what it is. I use it often to identify bugs/plants/birds in the wild and its very accurate

[@keithh2028]

Apple has arrived to the point now where the defining feature of the new iPhone is its color/finish... that says it all.🤪😝🤣 And none of the tech reviewers can call Apple out on its BS, because if they do, then Apple won’t invite them back next year, when the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 6x “zoom” lens and revolutionary new gray finish is revealed 😂
