open source software has come a long way

03:16

though so to the state government

employees of sches Holstein allowing us

03:21

to say this to you feel cluke Microsoft

03:25

announced a breakthrough in Quantum

03:27

Computing error correction that could

03:30

crucially allow quantum computers to

03:32

actually be used to compute things

03:34

instead of what they're used for now

which is generating esoteric press

03:37

releases by pairing Microsoft's new

03:45

quanum I'm assuming as a joke

03:48

researchers from the two companies were

03:49

able to run more than 14,000 individual

03:52

experiments without a single error and

03:55

they even diagnosed and corrected

03:57

logical cubits without destroying them a

03:59

development that gave Microsoft's VP of

04:01

quantum Computing Goosebumps and I think

04:04

gave me a second headache I mean it does

04:07

sound kind of dope though it sounds

04:09

great in all seriousness though as far

04:11

as my puny mind can tell this is a big

04:14

step forward for this technology and

04:16

Jacob says it is too and so he knows

04:19

about space I mean I only stud I study

04:21

astrophysics it's such a big step that

04:23

Microsoft is announcing the industry is

04:25

now moving from level one foundational

04:28

to level two resilient Quantum Computing

04:32

a proclamation that for me kind of

04:33

skirts the line between the George Bush

04:35

Mission Accomplished banner and Google

04:37

declaring Quantum Supremacy back in 2019

04:41

like the tech giant version of Michael

04:42

Scott a much better thing to declare is

04:44

that this video is brought to you by War

04:46

Thunder the free-to-play and

04:48

comprehensive vehicular combat game War

04:51

Thunder's realism goes beyond just

04:53

Graphics write down to how it feels to

04:55

Pilot the vehicles or how it feels to

04:57

tear a tank apart with your bear hands

05:00

not except for the hand part and now

05:02

there's over 2500 different war machines

05:05

all throughout history for you to choose

05:06

from get started free today on PC and

05:09

consoles simply by clicking the link

05:11

below what are quick bits for the answer

05:15

look deep inside your

05:17

mind not that deep that's oh oh God Roku

05:22

the Portland Main of smart TV makers

05:25

apparently wants to become the bond

05:27

villain of smart TV makers by showing

05:29

ads on the company's TVs even when

05:31

you're just using it to play Xbox or PS5

05:35

Roku filed a patent for a system that

05:37

would allow Roku TVs to detect when a

05:40

device connected to it via HDMI has

05:42

paused at which point the TV can display

05:45

an ad I mean what you're not using it

05:47

you might as well the patent also

05:49

explores ways to determine what content

05:51

you are interacting with of course so

05:53

they can display more relevant ads it's

05:55

not just evil it's boring evil this is

05:59

why Amazon Amazon and Google are beating

06:00

you you could be evil but like be

06:02

interesting you know that's all I'm

06:03

saying YouTube is experimenting with a

06:05

new feature called Jump Ahead among a

06:08

limited group of YouTube premium

06:10

subscribers they say the feature will

06:11

skip right to what its algorithm thinks

06:14

you're looking for based on a user's

06:16

behavioral data they also said AI a

06:19

whole bunch which has got to be a

06:21

compulsion of some kind how it works is

06:24

that after a user double Taps on mobile

06:26

to skip forward 10 seconds they'll be

06:28

given a button that lets them Jump Ahead

06:30

to whatever the computer thinks is the

06:33

next best moment for you which is

06:35

probably when Riley Murdoch whips out

06:37

his Tim Cook impression haha he is so

06:40

funny that Riley Jessica you really

06:42

think I'm

06:44

funny no Sony has announced a new medium

06:48

format image sensor with a whopping

06:51

247 megapixels in a package

06:54

approximately the same size as the 150

06:57

megapixel sensor in Hassel blood's h6d

07:00

series cameras break that down for me Ry

07:02

dog that's exciting isn't it Andy Y and

07:05

while it's true that photographers and

07:07

videographers are so over the megapixel

07:10

race it's unquestionably noteworthy that

07:13

a medium format sensor could produce an

07:15

image with a resolution of

07:17

19,200 by

07:19

12,800 pixels 19k by 12 you just bought

07:24

an 8K TV you look so stupid right now to

07:27

be fair according to Sony's website this

07:29

sensor is for industrial use in visual

07:32

inspection devices but such sensors have

07:34

found their way into consumer cameras

07:36

before so this was definitely worth

07:38

telling you about a San Diego startup

07:40

has designed a new chip architecture

07:42

that can run CPU GPU and AI workloads

07:47

simultaneously on the same cores startup

07:50

X silicon Inc hopes their C GPU platform

07:54

will be heavily adopted in segments with

07:56

strict powerto performance ratios like

07:58

the automotive and embedded Computing

08:00

markets the startups work joins the

08:02

likes of Libra s so an open- source

08:06

project that apparently had its funding

08:07

pulled in February oh that's that's too

08:10

bad hopefully X silicon won't have that

08:12

issue since they're making cgp open

08:15

standard it's like open source except

08:17

that it's very different and you get to

08:19

make money and nothing the tech company

08:22

has announced two upcoming nothing

08:24

earbuds on the nothing website by which

08:26

I mean

08:28

Twitter

08:31

however it seems that following the

08:33

nothing ear 2 they've decided to go the

08:35

valve route and give up on trying to

08:38

count any higher they've thus announced

08:40

the nothing ear and the lower end

08:43

nothing ear Open Bracket lowercase a

08:46

closed bracket all right according to

08:49

nothing they've removed the numbers in

08:51

order to focus on the product and the

08:54

unique experience it delivers which is a

08:56

bit like admitting you can't walk and

08:58

chew gum at the same time time it's hard

09:01

but I can thank you for watching at the

09:04

same time as I tell you to come back on

09:06

Monday for more Tech news it's not

09:09

actually true because I did that

09:10

sequentially

09:13

but come relative
