Episode notes

Project Bernanke emerged amid antitrust scrutiny, highlighting questionable legality linked to its operations, invoking a name associated with the Federal Reserve to underscore its controversial nature. Discussions around this project hint at its possibly unregulated undertones, suggesting a spectrum of legality that veers into the 'fun' rather than strictly lawful. Meanwhile, the dynamics of the quantum computing race between Google and IBM are illustrated through the competition surrounding Google’s Sycamore processor. Sycamore claimed groundbreaking achievements in quantum computing, asserting significant speed advantages over traditional computers, only to be challenged by IBM, which contested these claims by demonstrating comparable results on conventional technology. This rivalry showcases the competitive landscape of advanced computing, questioning the validity of groundbreaking claims in a race characterized by rapid innovation and contrasting benchmarks.

We have new Pixels! This week, Marques, Andrew, and David talk about the most recently Google event where the newest Pixel 9 phones were announced along with a new pair of Pixel Buds and a Pixel Watch. They start talking about the event as a whole before getting into the specifics about each of the phones. They also discuss all of the newest AI features that the Pixel phones will have before wrapping it all up with trivia. Enjoy!
