congratulations if you're watching this
video the good news is that you survived
yet another month riding the hockey
stick towards the singularity and you
get to put this new badge on your vest
the bad news though is that by the end
of this video you'll be 5 minutes closer
to being dead every day there's a new
JavaScript framework AI breakthrough
corporate lawsuit or Tech bro drama but
because I'm just an antique flush based
carbon unit I don't have the content
generation speed to make every single
story into a video we looked at Apple
intelligence and serverless gone wrong
but there's so much other nonsense that
I want to inject into your brain so in
today's video we'll do something
different and look at 10 or 13 or 14
insane Tech stories that you missed in
June it is June 30th 2024 and you're
watching the code report yesterday
artificial intelligence took another
victim the UI ux developer thanks to
figma's new collection of AI tools I use
figma every day to design side projects
and YouTube thumbnails but now you can
generate uis with a prompt what's even
more exciting though is the visual asset
search this is my actual figma workspace
I know I should probably be locked up in
a facility but with AI search I can now
find things based on how they look and
not just the plain text in an artboard
but that brings us to Story number two
Claude Sonet 3.5 it was looking like AI
was going to Plateau but Sonet 3.5
proved us wrong it's now easily the best
llm for writing code out there and is
significantly better both on benchmarks
and in my experience than GPT 40 but it
also has a killer new feature for coding
called artifacts which will save your
code Snippets individually allowing you
to piece them all together into a
cohesive application not to be outdone a
few days later open AI released its own
new model called critic GPT it's not a
regular llm but rather a GPT 4 based
model designed to find errors in GPT 4's
code it's amazing what these Transformer
models can do nowadays and demand for
these AI tools made Nvidia the most
valuable company in the world in June
for a day or two but in Story number
three there's a new game-changing ship
in town from a startup called etched
which burns the actual Transformer
architecture onto silicon dramatically
increasing the speed of inference
assuming you're running a Transformer
model if Transformers get replaced by a
better architecture this company is
screwed but in 2024 this idea looks
pretty genius now I know many of you are
sick of everybody grifting on artificial
intelligence but big companies are not
done jamming AI down your throat with
things like apple intelligence and
Microsoft's co-pilot plus PC we are just
getting started and this AI runs on
laptops and phones with arm chips but in
Story 4 Intel wants to change that with
its lunar L chip it's an x86 chip but
designed to be way more power efficient
is so you can actually run it in a
laptop without it catching on fire but
now I just have one more AI update for
you and that's meta's new llm compiler
model and paper the model is based on
llama but trained on 546 billion tokens
of llvm ir and assembly code what
terrifies me is that this model will
eventually learn how to build its own
programming languages and the 15 years I
dedicated to mastering HTML programming
will all be for nothing but let's shift
gears to Story number six kerski
antivirus has been banned in the United
States because of potential ties to
Putin if you're affected by this though
just let me know because I know a guy
who can keep you virus free Story number
seven cloudflare extortion like a lot of
websites this company was using
cloudflare for its CDN and dos
protection they have 4 million monthly
active users and were paying $250 a
month then they got this email from
cloud flare requiring a $120,000 payment
Upfront for an Enterprise plan otherwise
they would take all their domains down
within the next 24 hours the one detail
I left out though is that this website
is an online casino and that presents
some additional risk for Cloud Player
but the way their sales team handled the
situation just looks really bad another
company that took a couple L's in June
is Adobe at first they released some new
terms and conditions that b basically
say any content that you create on Adobe
products become the property of adobe
like the video you're watching right now
was edited with Adobe Premiere which
means apparently Adobe owns this video I
don't think they're going to reupload it
but they might use it to train their AI
the situation is just like that one
Black Mirror episode now your advice
might be to cancel Adobe and use Da
Vinci resolve instead but it's nearly
impossible to cancel Adobe and that's
why they also got sued by the US
government this month for making
subscriptions too hard to cancel
speaking of the government Apple also
took a big L this month when it was
accused of violating the new digital
markets act in the EU and now they're
looking at a $30 billion fine yes that's
billion with a B but I'm sad to say that
my favorite tech YouTuber also took an L
this month Tech lead was accused of
abusing the YouTube copyright system
after this channel brought shame upon
his reputation now I've been a fan of
tech lead since the very beginning and
it's been fascinating to watch his
channel evolve from programming
tutorials to flutter hot takes to crypto
rug pools to why my wife left me and now
blackpill Doomer content today he gets a
lot of hate but most people don't
realize that it's a satire Channel he's
playing playing 5D influencer chess and
creating drama to get videos made about
him on all these different channels mine
included and that's why he's my tech
lead now speaking of nerd drama there is
also a really weird situation that went
down on GitHub this one prolific open
source contributor opens up a pull
request to expand support for node.js
0.4 a version that almost nobody uses
and it gets over 200 down votes and zero
up votes people start to question his
motives like is he a Chinese spy trying
to create a back door or is he doing it
for the money from tidelift which is a
platform that pays open source
contributors for a variety of different
things related to package Health however
the author denies those conspiracy
theories and he's done a lot of good in
the JavaScript ecosystem over the years
so maybe he deserves the benefit of the
doubt I really have no idea it's just
fun to watch JavaScript developers fight
each other speaking of JavaScript the
state of JS 2023 results just dropped
react is still the king of JavaScript
Frameworks if people still love spelt
and vue.js is one of the few established
Frameworks it that is paradoxically
becoming more loved and thank you for
voting fireship as the number one
JavaScript channel it's easily my
favorite language to make fun of and
that brings me to thing number 13
YouTube has been at war with ad blockers
for a while and they just Unleashed a
new secret weapon a server injected ads
normally advertisements load
asynchronously with JavaScript on the
front end but in the future YouTube
plans to inject them directly into video
files which in theory will make it
impossible for ad blockers to deal with
them you are now watching a server
injected ad for the new KFC Double Down
dog because your ad blocker did not work
you will eat Double Down dog because it
is on fireship channel thank you for
choosing KFC for your nutritional needs
this has been the code report thanks for
watching and I will see you in the next
one
