Red Hat's $6 Billion IPO: A Game of Hot Potato?

The recent IPO of Red Hat, one of the big three Linux distributions, has raised questions about the company's value and the nature of its ownership. At $6 billion, the IPO is a staggering sum, but it raises concerns about the long-term viability of the company. As we discussed in our previous episode, the tech industry is experiencing a cheap money lending environment, which means that investors are willing to take on more risk in pursuit of higher returns.

The big three Linux distributions - Red Hat, Ubuntu, and SUSE - have been around for years, providing stable and secure operating systems for businesses and organizations. However, with the rise of cloud computing and the increasing demand for artificial intelligence and machine learning, these companies are facing new challenges. Oracle's acquisition of Red Hat has raised eyebrows among investors and analysts, who question whether this deal is a sound investment.

One of the main concerns is that Red Hat will have to generate significant returns on its stock price to justify its $6 billion valuation. This could put pressure on the company to prioritize profits over innovation, which could ultimately harm its reputation and customer base. Additionally, with the rise of open-source software, some argue that companies like Red Hat are no longer necessary, as the software is already available for free.

However, others argue that Red Hat's value lies in its ability to provide a stable and secure platform for businesses and organizations. The company's expertise in operating systems and its strong brand recognition make it an attractive player in the industry. Furthermore, with the increasing demand for artificial intelligence and machine learning, companies like Red Hat are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.

The real test of Red Hat's worth will be how it performs in the market. Will investors get a good return on their investment, or will they realize that the company is overvalued? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - this IPO has set off a chain reaction of excitement and skepticism among investors and analysts.

Sarcasm Detection Model: A Glimpse into AI's Sensitive Side

A recent breakthrough in sarcasm detection technology has left experts impressed. The model, which uses images and video to detect sarcasm, has proven to be surprisingly accurate. By analyzing the tone and expression of a speaker, the model can identify when someone is being sarcastic or not. This technology has far-reaching implications for fields such as customer service, sales, and social media moderation.

One of the most impressive examples of the model's capabilities was shown in an article featuring sports commentator Kyle Wiggers. In one clip, Wiggers' voice was filtered to remove his tone, while his words remained intact. The result was a fascinating demonstration of how easily sarcasm can be missed in everyday conversation. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate online and offline.

However, as with any new technology, there are concerns about its accuracy and limitations. While the model is impressive, it's not infallible. There will always be cases where it misidentifies sarcasm or fails to detect it at all. Nevertheless, this breakthrough has opened up new possibilities for AI researchers and developers.

Google's Sound Filter: A Game-Changer for Audio Technology

A recent development in AI technology has left audio enthusiasts abuzz - Google's sound filter can separate any sound or voice from mixed audio recordings with remarkable accuracy. This breakthrough has far-reaching implications for fields such as music production, podcasting, and video editing.

In one remarkable example, the model was used to remove a person's voice from a conversation between two people. The result was stunning - the background noise was completely eliminated, leaving only the speaker's voice intact. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we work with audio in various fields.

The sound filter is not limited to removing background noise; it can also be used to enhance audio quality by separating different instruments or voices within a recording. This could lead to new possibilities for music production, where artists and producers could focus on individual elements of a track rather than trying to balance the entire mix.

While this technology is still in its infancy, it's clear that Google's sound filter has the potential to change the way we work with audio forever. With the rise of podcasting, video editing, and music production, having high-quality audio is essential for creating engaging content. This breakthrough could be just what professionals in these fields need to take their work to the next level.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enover here i didn't know like i saw you're still moving the mouse around it's the 26th it's technically thanksgiving here in the us and today we're doing business and robot i'm quarantining this week because allergies i don't know hopefully allergies oh probably allergies i believe it is the 25th and not thanksgiving wait is it the 25th oh yeah it's wednesday it's only wednesday thursday we do not produce oh oops yeah i totally mixed that up my contacts are messed up don't blame me for my obvious failings can your contacts affect your perception of time and dates i did think last night i was getting in bed and i was like okay tomorrow's thursday and my husband looked at me and he was like no tomorrow's friday i was like what i feel like this week just was like a a warp okay it went really quick all of november was a warp that went really quick november is basically done yeah there's it can't be salvaged uh krista have you settled i think we talked about this on the news but have you settled your your family's thanksgiving plans because you seem to be the the sour grape i am the sour grape i think at this point it settled but my mom called me earlier and i have not called her back yet we have a family member in the icu right now too so it may be canceled we'll see not great not a great time yeah definitely not a great time anyway i've kind of brought the mood down sorry everybody you know what you know what's going to be great in my my my dying days no i'm not i'm not it's not the thing i'm pretty sure it's allergies but if it were i would definitely be enjoying the last few days with the uh the radeon rx 6800 and 6800 xt amd is back with big navi so hot hardware has an article we did a video there's lots of fun exciting things i had really good luck out of mine i mean i i only had a 30 90 to compare it to and i was extremely impressed with it because it cost less than half of a 30 90 and it was close to the same close enough to the same speed how about that i think the big thing here i don't you know i don't think they're gonna beat nvidia in raw numbers but they're very close and i think the thing that people are overlooking here is you buy the if you're buying them to play games if you're buying them for some other reason it doesn't matter but if you're buying them to play games we're in a world now where the consoles are wagging the tail of pc gaming it's disgusting but that's where we are and guess what's in the consoles yeah so the developers are going to be developing for amd first yeah although i was surprised that ray tracing performance was a little weaker on these and where nvidia is branching out and they've got like tensor cores and all sorts of other specialized compute on the silicon amd doesn't really have any of that but also the the amount of silicon that they have is smaller and it looks like amd is poised to have less supply issues than nvidia although right now you can't really buy either card because they're shortages can't buy a console i think you can't buy toilet paper where we are so is it bad again yeah yeah it's very limiting again they had it when i went but they're limiting yeah well they've been limiting like soap and stuff for a while we haven't been to the store in a little bit but um they let me buy uh three things of lysol wipes and i was so happy so it's like two packs and i was like they're gonna say something to me when i check out they didn't i mean like if you're the if you're the cashier is it even worth it to like bring it up anymore one thing about the 6800 uh no disinfectant qualities whatsoever oh it gets pretty warm i bet that would disinfect because it's so hot that nothing biological can survive yeah we need to test that against the uh the vid play about 15 minutes of uh you know any really intense game and then yank it out of your computer and like hold it to your fart like brand your forehead that's what we that's what we're looking for so um our next story is something that we've pointed out repeatedly that would happen and it's finally happening from rs technica it says broadband power users explode making data caps more profitable for isps usage increase the you know quote unquote confirms the value of data capture isp revenue a vendor says yeah the whole point of the caps was not scarcity of the resource it was to grift you to charge more money because there's no competition because the value of the isp is not in giving you good service it's ringing as much money out of you as they possibly can that's the whole point of isps anymore it's not to be a good internet provider it's to bring money out of you the tone of this article so not the arts technical article but it is openvault who has released a study and openvault the way that they sort of position this is wow this is really good news because now that people are using more and more we can charge them more and more not the state of the industry is changing we need to adapt because people need more bandwidth no no no this is great news and the two terabyte users are also growing at a huge pace yeah uh what does a terabyte of overage cost these days isn't that ridiculous it's like a hundred dollars wow yeah yeah i told you the the there's been so many mergers and acquisitions that cost so far into the billions of dollars there's a finite number of subscribers like people only have so much disposable income and they need the internet to work you can literally charge them anything and they have they have to pay it if they're going to work from home but they're also getting more and more pissed off i mean even if you're like an essential worker though and you know you're not working from home if you have children they have to you know work remotely on their schoolwork so again you will pay whatever it is like i don't think anyone at this point can say oh i don't need internet it it pains me to perhaps make a concession or at least point out that when the telephone was sort of coming in vogue in like the 1930s and 40s people were looking around and they're like everybody needs a telephone and it wasn't it wasn't really uh you know maybe super questioned i don't know because we ran telephone lines everywhere there are outhouses in the middle of nowhere in eastern kentucky and they still have telephone infrastructure that was put there in like the 1940s and 1950s and i can't say the same for internet infrastructure and the internet infrastructure is perhaps as important if not more important than the telephone the internet is not coming into vogue it's been here yeah it's been in vogue for like 20 years it's an integral part of everyone's daily life yeah i don't think that analogy stands at all well i mean if the phone was an integral part of your life then perhaps a network connection of some type but i'm saying that we've had time yeah to build that infrastructure we just simply haven't yeah it's not like it's not an issue of like oh we're going to do that we just haven't had time we've been so busy really really they've literally gotten funding to build it and they just chose not to yeah here's the here's the million-dollar question does starlink charge overage or will they oh they probably will yeah i say almost certainly they will because they'll see the same thing they'll see it's cash cow they might have a little bit more of a an excuse to do that because you know it's like there's a finite amount of satellite bandwidth yeah whereas if we had fiber optic everywhere as we are supposed to have as we as taxpayers have paid for it wouldn't be a problem ah it makes me so mad uh speaking of makes finding a house very difficult yeah speaking which uh amazon launches amazon pharmacy for prescription medicine and delivery prime members will get perks like free delivery and discount on drugs i don't want jeff bezos knowing my medical history but he wants to know so badly he really can say though this is good for you though because you're saying like oh i don't have any allergy meds to test my allergy theory and i was like you could go to the drive-in at cvs or you could use amazon pharmacy now i think there is one really good thing about this though and that is if you go to the amazon pharmacy and you sign up and you're like listen let's just keep the insurance company out of this let me just pay for my pills you get a massive discount do you think jeff bezos would do that well they've already announced it i mean is it gonna actually work that way yeah because they don't have to go through all the you know like trying to get the money out of the insurance companies they just get it directly from you and it's so much easier i thought that when they tried to do this that um they were talking about importing drugs from canada and the drug companies lost their minds and they were like no you can't do that you because uh canadian drugs are not the same as american drugs even though they're labeled the same cost different everyone knows canadians have completely different biology than americans we've just been sending them sugar peels for decades i mean that was that was what happened the last time that came up right and that was why you didn't have anybody that was doing exactly that already because i think some people had tried and that was one of the ways that they were getting lower price medication was by importing it from other countries where it's the same medication but for some reason it costs completely different i didn't mention anything about where they source them but he could just be cutting out all the margin and being like okay if i give you super cheap medicine i'm bringing you in you're gonna buy something else while you're here so it's a it's more akin to like the diapers.com thing where they just want to put everybody out of business well the other the article mentions there was a something called a pharmaceutical delivery startup called pillpack so that's probably what their well they bought them they're definitely trying to expand into that also kentucky not covered so never mind you're gonna have to go through the cvs pharmacy and the other big thing for you uh roadside bandits that are getting exciting no schedule 2 or higher pro criminal tip that was a low key pro terminal tip that one almost i almost didn't catch that one the perks and the oxy's will not be on the amazon vans please do not destroy them yeah all right moving right along our technic guys amazon to begin shifting alexa's cloud ai to its own silicon ec2 inf1 instances inferentia that's what amazon's calling it inferentia there's a video here you can watch that reduce latency and reduce costs for text-to-speech and other types of things like that so guess the yeah machine learning players i guess were too expensive look at that also what do you think what can you do with an ai asic after its lifetime is done you just sell that on a third-party market or you probably could i it might it might be worthless you know i've got all those bitcoin asics that yeah that's what i was thinking about so i don't know i mean i guess it maybe it could be useful for something but probably not because i mean just how would you do that uh i love how they walk through the alexa workflow here and it's like oh god it really does just spell out how awful this little spy bot is in your home yeah hey alexa order me some gummy bears you're welcome all right uh cerebrus i hope that's how you pronounce that wafer size chip is ten thousand times faster than a gpu uh dr catrice actually has talked to these people before at uh at animtec and basically this is just a big old giant wafer they cut it out but the chip is designed so that like there's going to be defects doesn't matter they can just use what is there and is defect free and they don't have to slice it up they don't have to package it they don't really have to do much of anything it's basically good to go when it comes out of the wafer machine so as fast as they can get wafers it's as fast as they can produce these and i guess the benefit here is that all of the little pieces are all interconnected actually on the silicon already as a matter of design a trillion transistors yeah that seems reasonable what if you pull that out and drop it well you lost a trillion transistors it's fine but i'll take it more about the screen video yeah the machine that these go in is just like a huge stack of them and i think they have uh water cooling and some other stuff so it's pretty crazy they're made a slice at a time like there's a little projector machine that's making these and it's it's you know it's moving the little projector thing and it's making them a square at a time but you just you don't have to bother cutting them out of the silicon or anything like that it just it's fine it's nice it's good stuff uh switching gears a little bit apple to pay 113 million settlement over its iphone batterygate slowdowns the settlement involves the 2017 revelation that apple was purposely slowing old phones when their batteries began to degrade apple says because the phone was shut off because the battery couldn't deliver the energy quickly enough and so they slowed the phones down so that it was less stress on the battery but also people you know it might have been a thing to motivate you to buy new new phones every state gets a different amount i wonder how they calculate that is that like the they try to guess the number of people who bought them in that state it doesn't seem like this is really very much money i mean 113 million is what like 50 iphone sales i mean this doesn't seem like a lot and arizona they point out is only getting 5 million yeah it doesn't that doesn't seem seem correct i i really i was gonna try i forgot i was gonna try to bring in that lg g5 so that everybody can see how easy it is to replace the battery on that because it's super thin and it's metal and it's it feels like a premium phone and it's old it's ancient it's like five or six years old at this point and it's got a replaceable battery there's like this little button you squeeze and the whole bottom of the phone pops off and the battery slides out from like inside the phone apple and all of their brilliant engineering knowledge could totally do that they literally don't want to because they see you as a walking wallet and that's it nothing else you don't have any individual hopes and dreams you're just a wallet to them you're a customer yeah not a person in all walks of life and a data source true the data source is ultimately the roundabout way to get back to your wallet so i mean all roads lead to the wallet or to lead other people to your wallet well they take a commission on that so i mean again that's just getting to your wallet with more steps you can't just enjoy it like you can't just have a product that you genuinely enjoy there's some aspect of it that's trying to claw its way back into your pocketbook well listen to you thinking that's your product yeah it's definitely not if it's constantly phoning home with a certificate nonsense oh yeah that was another thing that article left out which is uh it's a big sur has changes so that user land firewalls can't block that traffic anymore it's that's that's some that's some next level stuff well anyway mac rumors geforce now game's available on ios devices through safari and fortnite is coming soon as a result of that so this is what we've talked about before this is an article about that where safari is sophisticated enough to offer real-time gaming access like actually in the browser which is not allowed in the app store because each individual app would have to be vetted that's that sounds crazy every time i say that i think it's anything about safari being advanced all the browsers can do this this just gets around the crazy rules yeah well i mean that's what i mean about like i don't understand how now that it's so painfully obvious that it's basically a browser like i don't understand why you can't it means that you can't have a web browser type application in the app store except you can't have a web browser application in the app store except it has to use safari's page rendering engine but it just seems so arbitrary and weird oh you go it was weird that uh mouse and keyboard won't work with this you have to use a controller yeah that is weird i'm torn on how to feel about this because on one hand it does kind of screw over apple a little bit but on the other it makes safari more common and i don't want that either i don't know this is not exclusive to safari yeah i guess well no if you really wanted to play fortnite and be serious about it you would still go android do you think i i guess that probably is true i bet there are people who like when they have a phone upgrade they look at what would be best so i could play fortnite oh absolutely because you still this is still going through the browser you're still going to get a little bit of latency added to this what a weird format to play it remember why fortnite is not on the uh on the iphone anymore as an app they were there's like apple's charging 30 percent that's too much we wanted we want to pay apple less less money and then apple was like see ya and they kicked them out shut down the application revoked their certificates it's gotten it's gotten ugly and bloody and epic said we we fight for the user we want users and small developers to have better rates and apple finally said okay sounds good apple is dropping the app store fees to 15 with users under 1 million in revenues so this of course does not affect epic and is epic backing down no they're not so this is uh it's interesting i don't think it'll really i don't think they'll lose a ton of money doing this because that's you know such a small there's small potatoes that they're dealing with here yeah that i mean this is designed to show that epic wasn't really only interested in helping out with small developers because this helps out the small developers a lot fifteen percent on under a million dollars in revenue is a lot of money to an individual it's not a lot of money to tim sweeney and epic games so if you were apple and you wanted to give epic what they say they want without actually giving it to epic this is exactly how you would do it because epic is not this is not going to make any difference to epic 30 of a very large amount of money is a very large amount of money you think uh android will follow suit i bet google does i bet they do i really think ultimately the solution is uh third-party app stores though because third-party app stores would introduce a more sort of quasi-capitalistic competition and then we would see rates probably around like five to seven percent which is probably about where it should be apple's not gonna do that apple would definitely not make nearly as much money but that's where the market needs to be i mean ultimately apple devices are computers they're general purpose computers and they shouldn't get a 30 grift on any kind of computation that i might choose to do on their hardware they don't even let you i i guarantee they're going to go in the other direction because that new desktop os is moving further toward that rather than toward freedom yeah you are right i mean the new m1 stuff ooh exciting which is kind of what our next story is about the mac os big sur update is breaking some older mac pros hold off until there's a solution yeah resetting the pram resetting the nvram nope it just bricks it in one case apple said mail it to us so we can look at it it's pretty obvious they didn't test any really old uh macbook pros because are you a poor person why do you have an old macbook pro yeah and the they talk about these are from 2013 to 2014 in the apple world why would anybody ever use anything made in 2013 or 2014 yeah sort of disturbing i don't think we had an article for it but the new um the new m1 macbooks are out and they're arm based and the performance is pretty good and the battery life is pretty good surprisingly um which maybe only underscores how how sad x86 was we should do a video on um when windows tried to go arm and how that went because i think what mac has or what apple has done so far with mac going to arm it's going a little bit better than when microsoft did it although microsoft did it first uh we definitely covered the m1 last week oh we did yeah oh i don't remember the 98 oh well but it's actually out now and people are testing it that was that was so the headline this week would be that was a lie and not actually correct and uh while they're really good for some things they're not really good for other things so that's new information from last week so i don't know all right the register has new lawsuit why do android phones mysteriously exchange 260 megs a month with google via cellular data when they're not even in use this guy bought a samsung phone set it on a table didn't use it and it used 260 megs of data a month that seems like a lot for a phone that's not in use it's like a dollar i think but it is there or maybe eight dollars but it is a dollar or eight dollars that like benefits you not at all actually probably is bad for you yeah why is it doing so much uh they also tested iphones iphones used a lot of data too but not nearly as much and if you open a browser that doubles yeah well it was like 900 requests back to google or something crazy like that just by having the browser open so what a mess so yeah that's enough of that youtube launches audio ads and ad targetable music lineups taking aim at spotify i don't understand or comprehend music so i'm hoping one of you two can help me through this i don't i've never used youtube for music chris you used to didn't you i used to a long time ago like i would just you know people would upload music from random obscure places and i would make playlists through it but then spotify came along and spotify is just a smoother experience overall and they have a pretty big catalog more i think more to the point chris though it's not that spotify came along it's that you got onto a family plan on spotify oh no we pay for it i'm saying like it's not just you it is just me my my husband he can log in but he never does he likes to have all his music himself he's he's old school oh what can you do can you do like multiple oh you mean like physical copies of it yeah yeah those cds are gonna be super useful after the emp yeah see these are immune to an emp hahaha but google music just died they just put it down and so now it's youtube music and they're trying to overhaul everything and they're trying to make it compete with the other but i don't think it can because it was never built for that i think no is this is this saying that like if you're using youtube for music and you're on like the music video channels that you could you could now have an audio only ad on youtube well you know what they're saying is when people are using youtube for music videos they're not looking at it it's almost always in the background so audio ads will get around the fact that you're not engaging with those advertisements right so like when i used to listen to music on youtube like i would be working on something else and i would just have youtube minimized in the background but the thing that's great with like spotify the reason i like it so much is you can download the music and play it on the go without using your data unless youtube does something like that i don't know that they'll be able to compete as well you know speaking of spotify it's not having to do the story but i talked about a recent episode of the news that spotify needs to give me a way to dislike artists and get them out of my feed well someone said you can do that and i was like no you can't and i looked and i looked and you can't you can only in the mobile app and according to the spotify forums that's just fake like it doesn't actually affect anything wow it just makes you feel good well they put it in there for our remember art kelly when you know it turned out he was maybe raping little girls uh and people were like i don't want to ever even see his name it'll trigger me i think they did it then but i don't think it actually works wow so underwear on we could do that on youtube but youtube's not gonna do that either yeah i don't know why it's such a hard thing to do you know what else is really hard to do make batteries that don't catch on fire reuters has an article about gm recalling nearly 69 000 bolt evs for fire risks yeah 68 677 electric cars turns out the bolt mod might turn into a lightning bolt i love the instructions they gave here it was like yeah uh you should schedule to bring this in and get the update and in the meantime you should park it away from your house yeah i thought that was pretty funny like on the street not in your garage not near your house okay that's good also in uh the crazy pandemonium pandemonium panic sale whatever coinbase goes down as bitcoin nears 17 000 dollars per bitcoin wow what's it up to oh it's at 18 8 18 16. yeah wow it's even it's going up another another thousand it's really really i think 19 is the record right 19 something i thought it was 22 something 196. okay and uh i definitely it's it's got the steam to get there before the end of the year i guess wow i really messed up the sword i just realized oh it's fine it's fine a hacker stolen two million dollars of cryptocurrency from service acropolis cryptocurrency borrowing and lending service acropolis just said it suffered a flash loan attack they didn't really say how they they suffered this but they detected the the attack fairly quickly to shut it down but they were still out two million in cryptocurrency they are currently quote unquote exploring ways to repay users they also contacted a bunch of bitcoin exchanges and they've been able to sort of track the wallets and they may be able to you know run down whoever did it but it was ethereum but yeah they've that wallet has been flagged so blacklisted all right we'll see how that works out for them or not maybe i'm not sure uh consumer reports is no longer recommending tesla's model s and is panning the reliability of the new model y so the only the only tesla vehicle that's left on consumer reports recommended list is the sedan so three or the three well that's the sedan right i i guess so so this is the uh the rear bumper falling off if it gets wet little problems with the like the fit and finish the uh the screen thing we talked about earlier and all these little complaints oh yeah remember the one where the roof came off oh yeah we didn't have to screw that down that's not a big deal they're getting so many of these complaints that they are pulling tesla off the list surprising or is it i don't know it depends on when they were manufactured elon musk is going to go look at the the data manufacturer for all the cars with problems and he's going to be like ah it's the pandemic well they claim that and i can totally see this i can like just imagine in my head the scene going down inside of tesla so they're putting a lot of electronic consumer grade stuff in these cars but you never do that in a car you put automotive grade stuff in a car it's different and you can totally you can imagine musk sitting there it's like no we will use these they're cheaper and they're just as good you wait and see i know the it's funny you say that but the model 3 the screen on it the first version of the model the model 3 screen was totally a consumer screen but the touch screen and the display were different and how they fixed that was to fill the thing with epoxy well in uv light which is what you get when the car is outside and also gets hot it turns yellow so the first set of model 3 screens turn this horrible yellow and then later versions they fix that they put some kind of uv cure in it but then when it gets hot it re-liquefies so it would just slowly run out of your screen and there would be like this sort of like frozen gel liquid in your screen there's some amazing pictures of that online it's it's incredible but it is exactly because they were like we don't want to use an automotive grade lcd screen they cost too much we'll we'll engineer our way around that problem and engineering their way around that problem created more problems it was kind of fun it's like they didn't design it to be outdoors at all yep yeah who knew exposed to sunlight and other elements another uh not another not not a good exactly thing for uh tesla this week is a tesla crash since batteries and car parts flying into nearby homes which subsequently burn those homes down they didn't burn down they just started small fire i was gonna say i don't remember that part they uh well i mean the car wrecked so badly that parts of the battery were like flying around and if you have one of those batteries your fire extinguisher doesn't work you have to put it in a bucket with sand in it that's about the only thing that you can do so how about pro tip how about uh stoned i don't know if that means drunk or high and going 100 miles per hour wow that's a lot it's no wonder the car just disintegrated yeah really but that does raise questions of like what about how long is it going to take to clean up a battery spill on an interstate when a tesla crashes it's a big giant truck full of sand yeah but that's going to shut the road down for half a day no you just you just hoist it into a flatbed full of sand and you're good to go oh who touches it you're going to do that who's going to do that there are trucks that do that now you got to get that truck from where yeah that's it's about two hours to get there from wherever it is probably so not a great situation you know what else is not a great situation the cost of cable tv or in this case hulu which is kind of like the modern cable tv this was supposed to be the savior hulu hikes prices of live tv packages by ten dollars per month that wasn't the most surprising thing in this article the ad supported versus not ad supported version of hulu the price difference there it's like 10 bucks if you're paying 60 a month for tv and it's ad supported like first of all i wouldn't do that but second of all uh ten dollars more for no ads who wouldn't do that i didn't realize hulu had gone up that much at all i mean i guess it's a live tv package but like 64. i mean you're just paying for cable at that point like what what's the point yeah that's dumb that's well that's the live one though chris says so you can still get the like the old school hulu for i think it's like six dollars with ads i find that so hateful now that like yeah the idea of just of paying for a service that has ads like just why and it's not even 10 bucks it's like eight bucks so do those advertisers just not pay anything for ads i don't it seems seems like that should be more you should take more off with no ads if i imagine if they can be blocked a lot of people just do that well speaking of things that were blocked and then unblocked github reinstates youtube dl library after eff intervention github also establishes a one million dollar developer defense fund to help open source developers fight against the abuse of dmca section 1201 take down claims this went pretty much the way that we called it they made some minor changes to the documentation of youtube dl and that's pretty much it and the changes to the documentation no longer provide an example of downloading a taylor swift song to confirm that youtube dl works correctly and that is sufficient to satisfy the requirement under the law and if not the eff is prepared to go toe to toe here but microsoft they they put a million dollars in a developer protection fund i think that's kind of nice yeah but they're just doing that to save face because people were really you know giving them a hard time about it yeah but they didn't have to do that either also why couldn't they have done the same legal research that the eff did in the first place yeah that's true the eff did a good job here which is nice you know what else would be nice six billion dollars for your linux distro six billion dollars in the linux deal susa ipo rumored uh six billion the european linux company may soon be spun out at six billion dollars remember when red hat was sold for like a billion and i was like wow that's a lot of money for red hat apparently not apparently money just grows on trees these days well we are in a a cheap money lending environment for sure so yeah 6 billion ipo and tech ipos i don't think a lot of investors even look at what it is they're just like oh yeah i need that this is one of the big three what's it's uh what is it red hat and then ubuntu canonical and susa like those are the big three basically and now oracle technically owns red hat which is that gives me nightmares i could see uh you know with things going toward internet of things and all the various ways that you're gonna have to run operating systems in unexpected places owning this could be valuable six billion dollars valuable no they're gonna have to ring they're gonna demand so much return from that distro that i think that's gonna lead to problems yeah but that's problems for the next set of investors well they have to that was seuss's problem in the beginning was that the sale was in the billions of dollars so they need to return and so it's just a it's a it's a really terrible game of hot potato i think ultimately this i don't know it'd be nice to know from susa insiders if they think this is a good thing or not depends on whether or not they have options yes this is a very good thing i have now retired i was like well but you're not working on it anymore that doesn't count all right so it's fine ai researchers made a sarcasm detection model and it's so impressive it actually is impressive that was sarcasm what a great image for the top of this article you think that's the article author well they point out the thing about this is that it cannot work just on voice it needs that image because it's trying to find dissonance between the expression and the tonality of the voice at first i wondered if this was going to be like you know the the trend where it's like they just repeat something back but they uh alternate the capitalization of the letters to indicate sarcasm i was like oh that's probably how it works but no it does use the image yes and video so seems like the people think it works pretty well um but i want real world examples i want to i want to be able to like poke at it and and see it and i got did you see the pizza image there they got and the sports arena yeah so it's like but that doesn't look appetizing oh it is a joke i kind of get it i thought the next one was much more impressive google's sound filter ai separates any sound or voice from mixed audio recordings ah it's kyle wiggers nice uh there's examples in this article there's a the first one doesn't it doesn't really make any sense to me but the second one is really very impressive because it's two people talking at once and that you give the ai a sample of the person's voice that you want to hear and then it can pull it out of two people talking at the same time which is crazy this is gonna be huge for you know like sound boards and stuff like that because you can pull something perfectly clean from a movie oh i can have my star trek sound board yes the dream but will i live to see it uh no it's fine that's fine yeah i don't think they're giving us access to this yet maybe coming soon yeah not here yet not quite kind of like friday's episode of the news it's not quite here but it's close it's kind of something to look forward to in 2020 or maybe 2021 we still got to do drunk news at some point oh yeah yeah we're running out of time for that well i mean christmas is what a month and a half away so i mean we've got a little bit of time but not a half oh yeah i guess it is it's end of november you got one week left the news for the week after thanksgiving might also be a little bit delayed because we might not shoot until that monday i don't know we'll see oh yeah i didn't think about that i mean not like any of us are planning on going anywhere really but yeah i mean it's just just playing on the news being weird that week i'm just telling you now but it should be fun i'm gonna go i'm gonna have dinner with my parents but uh it'll just be that day it's exciting exciting times you know you know i want to go black friday shopping during a plague no and they told me they were like hey
