    Really appreciate the shoutout fellas, that means a lot! Trying my best to bring value every episode.
  • Marques being away and this may have been the longest bit you guys talked about video games šŸ˜‚. Love all of you, cheers to the team.

    39:39 I am just in awww on how Ellis can explain something so complicated, so easily and casually

    Ellis forgot to breath, he just talked as fast as he could for as long as he could and gasped for air. šŸ˜‚ props to him because he leaned away from the mic like a true professional while gasping. What a guy. This is what we come for.

    Watched a completely irrelevant ad because watching Ellis do marquesā€™ job is too funny

    That OUTRO was Genius! Pure gold and It did make my day. I can totally understand why my friends never understand me but from time to time I get this ray of light from other nerdy homies. How did the Mandelbrot set become so popular? It had an exponential growth in social circles!

    Can we have Ellis Recommends segment every week?

    The comment at 1:12:00 about "If you're not using Transformers, then call it regular Machine Learning not AI" - I understand that in this wave of "AI" we associate AI with LLMs... but strictly speaking: AI is a category containing Machine Learning, Machine Learning is a category containing transformers, transformers are a category containing LLMs.

    17:30 Almost every console I have ever purchased was obtained by just a dumb luck accident. My favorite one was the Gamecube. It was black Friday, and every store was PACKED. Most stores had setup black friday deal pallets at the front of the store, so people could walk in and get what they wanted, then go straight to the register. And the line for the register was wrapping up and down the aisles (I later found out it took people 3-5 hours to get checked out.). I figured maybe the normal shelf location would be a good spot to check. So I walked to the back of the store , which was completely empty. And there were open registers here as well. And associates standing around waiting to assist. And not only did they have the gamecubes loaded on the shelf, but also a full pallet of them. I picked one up, checked out right there, and was back in my car in a few minutes. Same exact thing happened with Xbox Series S!!! Moral of the story: Whatever, everyone is doing... Look around and do something else.

    I found the recent podcast discussion about professional iPad Pro users to be condescending. The hosts kept asserting that the power and features of an iPad Pro are unnecessary, which shows that they have a limited understanding of the needs and preferences of the various professional tablet market. My company develops B2B iPad solutions. One of our clients is a medium-sized real estate firm. They deployed a custom iPad app to their staff. The staff considers the iPad the most powerful computer theyā€™ve ever used because it significantly improves their professional workflow. In the field, they can upload real estate property pictures, edit the inventory database, scan and markup documents, conduct video tours and conferences using the front and rear cameras simultaneously. We just implemented AR functionality so that they can do virtual staging based on the potential buyers' style or corporate branding theme. We can also use LiDAR for automatic floor plan updates and measurements. The experience for industry improves with better iPad Pro hardware.
