  2. Alligators keep rocks in their stomachs to help with digestion. Alligators swallow, but we humans are supposed to chew. Why would we need to consume rocks? 😂😂

  5. If you want to get rid of gemini in your google search, switch from Chrom to Firefox! I switched about a year ago and I am never looking back!

  7. Awesome Podcast guys. As far as owning a Porsche I would also think if you are interested and purchasing a Porsche you can customize your Vehicle before purchasing after researching. As far as Miles joining I enjoyed but next time get a chair for Andrew. Always enjoy 😉💯✌️

  12. One small rock a day? I can swing that. It should not be too big, not too small. A grain is sand is not a rock. But it should be able to pass through your throat. Pebble is fine. Make sure it is smooth and don't have sharp edges. A rock tumbler helps. But if you don't have that, an angle grinder with a flap disk. And failing that, just use sand paper. But remember, swallow. DO NOT CHEW.

  18. With regards to the R1 section, I have a feeling the LAM is just another name for what is known in the industry as Langchain and more recently in Microsoft land as Semantic Kernel.

    Those two are ways of orchestrating the LLM in such a way that they tell your frontend, in this case Playwright, what functions to execute.

    You attach descriptions to some code function, like "This function skips to the next song", so that when the LLM gets a voice command from the user, it invokes the playwright function to skip the song on the spotify webapp in the vm in the cloud.

    It's not a LAM, it's a generic LLM, like gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4o, that is able to map a sentence to a code function to execute, it wouldn't know how to click the skip button without invoking the script function.

  22. …”keep making money off investors is pretty LAMe.” I think we’ll see more of these gadgets but eventually our phones and smart watches & glasses will get better and faster at multimodal interfaces. Until then, I live vicariously through everyone testing out what the future may be. Great episode as always.

  28. Durability and repairability is NOT inversly proportional. One does not make the other less possible. Apple goes out of their way to prevent third-party repair, which in most cases offer better service than Apple, that’s the main problem.

  29. Playwright is able to read the content inside an HTML element, or even use the data attribute of a button to know what it is, so moving a button a few pixels would not typically break it. Even though it looks pretty bad for Rabbit, using the fact that it has Playwright under the hood is not enough proof to say they were lying, I stopped halfway through Coffeezilla video because it was too biased against it and he benefits from creating hate, I think Marques approach was much better: show that there's are things that don't work without putting opinions and theories as truth

  32. Hearing people talk about cars is like listening to my hs physics teacher… fun to listen to but grasping absolutely nothing

  33. Here are the key takeaways from the video:

    – The hosts discuss Google's new AI search feature that generates responses to queries, which has been providing some hilarious and nonsensical answers, like claiming cats have been on the moon and recommending people eat rocks.

    – They talk about Spotify killing off their "Car Thing" device in December without providing refunds, which they view as a bizarre and consumer-unfriendly move.

    – Coffeezilla's recent investigation videos scrutinizing the Rabbit AI company and their R1 device are covered, raising doubts about whether their promised "large action model" AI actually exists as claimed.

    – They discuss the newly announced hybrid Porsche 911 models, expressing mixed feelings about some of the interior design changes like the digital tachometer and push-button start.

    – The Lucid Air Sapphire electric car is praised as potentially the best driving sedan ever made, with incredible performance and driving dynamics despite its weight.

    – In the trivia segment, one question asks which of four described Porsche Design studio products is fake, with the Porsche hospital bed being the made-up one.
