But I don't remember anybody forecasting that all of a sudden AI data centers will be buying up so much of the world's RAM that the rest of us would be scrging for leftovers. >> Can I actually ask about that. So I heard there's a data center RAM crunch and I thought, oh, it's because Nvidia is selling a lot of GPUs today centers.Don't the GPUs use a different RAM. Don't they use VRAM. They have their video RAM.It's on a slightly different standard, but fundamentally all the memory is coming from just a few ...

I would die if Biscuit went missing. >> The only time my dog got lost, I was driving down the street yelling out his name, which doesn't seem like a very effective use of my time to find my dog. >> Up until yesterday, that was the best technology way of finding your dog.And now we've actually put some technology using AI, using our network of Ring cameras, and our neighbors to find him. >> How long uh have you wanted to have this feature available on Ring. >> At Ring, our mission has always been to make nei ...

I think we're going to stop using the word podcast, or at least it will start to feel outdated. At the end of last year, I wrote about how podcasts started to experiment with video, taking hosts you've only heard voices of and putting them into a well-lit studio, competing on a whole new playing field, aka YouTube and Tik Tok. I think next year will be really hard to define what is a podcast and what is just like a video show. Just like how no one really uses the phrase web series anymore, I think the word ...

In the mid1 1990s, if you were online, you were almost certainly using America online. AOL was the internet for lots and lots of people. But within AOL, there was this tiny team that almost nobody wanted to exist that was building an app that might someday bring the best part of AOL outside the walled garden.From the Verge and Vox Media, this is Virgin History, a show about the best and worst and strangest and most important products in tech history. Today we're talking, of course, about AOL Instant Messeng ...

There's a chapter of Project 2025 written by Brendan Carr and I'm just telling you it's coming. The reason that he's making this enormous stand about being able to regulate speech on broadcast is so that he can make the same argument about the internet and he will find the authority and again he keeps daring Congress to stop him and I suspect Congress will remain as dysfunctional as ever and they will not. There are other ways into it, some of which run into his own policymaking from the past.As we've discu ...
