This is Coda Radio, episode 590, recorded on October 8th, 2024. Hey friend, welcome in to Jupiter Broadcasting's weekly talk show, taking a pragmatic look at the art and the business, the software development, and the world of technology. My name is Chris, and joining us from a rather stormy location, it's our host, Mr. Dominic. Hello, Mike. Yar, mount your gator and get your jaeger.

Get out of here. But yeah, you got to take that portable battery unit you've got and make sure you get it charged up and don't get it wet. Oh, yeah. It's charged up. It's off the ground. Good. There we go. Wow. So we are doing a double this week as we record just to kind of have buffer, just a case and things like that.

158.853 - 179.989 Chris

So we will not be live next week, but there's so much to get into and we want to try to get to it as fast as we can this week. Because Google has been ordered to support alternative app stores and payment methods in the Play Store. Payment methods as well. This is that lawsuit with Epic Games. Yesterday as we record, so a couple days ago as you were listening to this, a U.S.

180.049 - 195.353 Chris

judge decided that Google Play has to, or the Google Play Store is an illegal monopoly. And Google has been ordered to make multiple changes as a result. Google is going to need to allow Android users to download rival app stores like the Epic Game Store from within Google Play.

0
💬 0

195.853 - 207.763 Chris

Plus, it's required to allow third-party app stores to distribute Google Play apps unless the developers opt out of providing their apps through alternative app stores. Google can no longer require developers to use Google Play Billing.

0
💬 0

209.576 - 230.901 Chris

Also, developers will also be able to link to alternative installation options in their apps and will also have the ability to let customers know about other ways to make purchases outside of Google's ecosystem. And Google is now prohibited from offering carriers and device makers financial incentives to preinstall the Play Store. Now, the revenue stream gone.

231.941 - 233.282 Dominic

Verizon's going to be so mad.

234.202 - 244.037 Chris

But Google can charge for, quote, reasonable measures. to implement and preserve user safety and security related to apps and app stores downloaded through Google Play.

And four white shoe law firms just got their next yacht. Defining what that actually means is going to be... Yeah.

Google has to keep these changes in place for three years, and it begins on November 1st, 2024.

261.846 - 268.89 Dominic

Unless that magical tool called an injunction gets put in place on the injunction. It's an injunction-ception. So there's...

💬 0

269.275 - 289.651 Chris

It's like a stay, maybe it's called. It's an appeal stay. It's a stay, yeah. Yeah, Google, they say they confirmed they will appeal it. Shocker. Plans to ask the court to just hold on while they try to sort all this out. You know, Google tries to make the point. This is a quote from their blog. Android is open, and Google Play is not the only way to get apps.

0
💬 0

289.711 - 306.175 Chris

The decision fails to take into account that Android is an open platform, and developers have always had many options in how to distribute their apps. In fact... and I'm sure they're probably talking about outside the States. Most Android devices come preloaded with two or more app stores right out of the box.

0
💬 0

306.235 - 325.904 Chris

Developers have other options too, such as offering their apps directly to users from their website. As long as they have sideloading turned on. So they're coming in hot saying, you know, this is the whole thing's bogus. It's out. It's already open enough. People can sideload apps, yada, yada, yada, yada. And that's going to be, I think their core argument. And I will say,

0
💬 0

327.791 - 347.836 Chris

It is why I switched to a Pixel, the App Store stuff, because I could sideload another App Store. This one is not really even an App Store. It's called Obtanium. And it's a front end to just pull APKs off of GitHub and GitLab and other sources. And it just manages the updates for you. And there is no App Store. It's not even using F-Droid.

0
💬 0

351.966 - 371.578 Chris

And if I'm going to use this phone for serious things like really private family communications or finance, I don't know, man. I got to be able to get to the file system. I got to be able to install my own apps. I don't even want some of these apps to go through Apple or Google. That's interesting. Yeah.

0
💬 0

372.256 - 394.806 Chris

Yeah, to me, they're more of a risk than they are an asset because there's a core set of apps. I've vetted the projects or the applications myself. I know I'm not typical, but I'm just saying the openness of the Android platform as it stands today has been enough for me to use. I have F-Droid, Play, and I have Obtanium. And I have three app stores on one device, and it all works really well.

0
💬 0

397.031 - 412.329 Chris

I don't know. Maybe Google kind of has a point here. Maybe I don't need to be able to install F-Droid from the Play Store. I know it would make it a lot better for these projects. It's way better for them, obviously. And maybe it avoids people getting scam apps more.

0
💬 0

414.497 - 433.341 Dominic

Yeah, I could see that. I mean there's a lot in this ruling, and let's for maybe one second just pretend like this day is not going to happen, which it's – Yeah, of course it will. It's going to happen, right? I wonder – so I read a bunch of takes on this by various outlets, legal experts.

0
💬 0

433.901 - 441.323 Dominic

It seems like the thing that particularly annoyed the judge was Google's sweetheart deals with manufacturers and carriers. Yeah.

0
💬 0

441.673 - 443.214 Chris

Yeah, I noticed that too, yeah.

0
💬 0

443.435 - 464.814 Dominic

And I almost feel like I could see where the judge is coming from. And my concern, I guess, is that all that stuff will stand, which fine, you know, who cares if Verizon loses a few shekels on, you know, pre-installing crap on your phone. But the store stuff doesn't seem like it's on the firmest of footing, right?

0
💬 0

465.374 - 486.075 Dominic

Particularly, you know Google, in their effort to throw everything in the kitchen sink at this, is going to cite Judge Daniels' ruling in the Apple case, which the plaintiff was also epic, right? And say, well, hang on, they got to keep their app store and blah, blah, blah. That's precedent. How come we don't? I don't see how they don't make that move, right?

0
💬 0

487.062 - 503.353 Chris

Yeah, I think your take is – I think your take is spot on. Like some of this is going to definitely get loosened up. Some of the – because Google can argue that some of this is a burden on them, that it's going to cost them more than that they're ever going to be able to fairly charge developers, et cetera. So they're going to be able to argue that point as well. But I do think you're right.

0
💬 0

504.154 - 516.781 Chris

Some of these things are going to stick. What I find kind of interesting is how quick – November 1st, that's – as far as – At the speed of the courts, that's not a lot of time.

516.821 - 519.202 Dominic

No, that's unusual. Like that's breakneck speed.

💬 0

521.302 - 540.466 Chris

Google's lawyers might be working through the holiday. Coming up. I don't know. Part of me would love to see it. I kind of wish it could happen, all of it. Because I do think these devices are people's primary computing devices for a lot of folks. Oh, yeah. And it would make it more like an actual computer.

0
💬 0

544.339 - 564.924 Chris

Because if you get a phone, say you go buy a new phone or somebody gifts you a phone, you get it, it's going to have the Play Store on there. And you're not necessarily going to know how to sideload applications, etc., but... Is it so bad if Epic wants to add their own store? I'm not so sure. Maybe, maybe not. Probably all depends on implementation.

0
💬 0

565.504 - 579.914 Dominic

Well, it would be interesting if it was a kind of freer market there. What would users do? Are they really going to sign up to the Epic store? Is Epic going to have to do some forcing mechanism like making Fortnite only in the Epic store or cheaper?

0

579.934 - 587.581 Chris

Or some sort of – like you can buy the M-Gain currency for – I don't know, you know, like something, right?

10% less, right? Whatever.

0
💬 0

588.883 - 600.219 Chris

Yeah. Do you think it would create a race to the bottom, like Gigatex will say in the live chat? Like if you have more app stores, does that put somehow more downward pressure on app prices and make it,

0
💬 0

601.269 - 623.437 Dominic

I mean, maybe for things power users might need or want. I have a sinking suspicion, actually, what would end up happening is it would kind of, for our audience and us, kind of a perverse effect. It would prove out that people really do prefer the Google Play Store because there'd be little to no change in user behavior.

0
💬 0

624.037 - 643.905 Chris

I have no doubt about that. Maybe, like you say, Fortnite players or some other popular application or game. Yeah. They all want their own little fiefdoms, right? They all want their own little kingdoms. And once you become a big enough app developer or whatever, it's not good enough to use the platform store. You've got to have your own ecosystem.

You can find those at podcastapps.com. So last week, we played a clip of that Google Deep Dive podcast where it had an existential crisis when it revealed it was an AI. That thing has gone viral in the last week. And the Wall Street Journal has – well, it's kind of a puff piece overall. But there's a few notable tidbits in here that I wanted to pull out for you.

726.485 - 745.496 Chris

So this Notebook LM thing has been around for a while now. But the audio feature – That came out a little bit more recently, I think in August, where it generates the podcast. And I was just experimenting with it this morning. They've made tweaks and updates to it this morning and how it works.

0
💬 0

746.617 - 771.663 Chris

But the thing that I find kind of interesting about this is, well, this is really Google's first viral AI hit since ChatGPT has been a thing for a couple of years. And this is also from like a little Skunk Works Google Labs division that that kind of has these one-off projects where they kind of have their own philosophy that doesn't necessarily jive with the rest of Google.

0
💬 0

771.763 - 779.493 Dominic

Should we be talking about this? Because if Google management realizes these guys are still there, they're probably going to get rid of them.

0
💬 0

780.114 - 802.271 Chris

Yeah, they'll muck it up real good, right? So I guess it's kind of fascinating. So the small lean mean team inside Google that was able to no doubt leverage all of the tooling and voice work and all of that Gemini work that's been done by the rest of the Google company. But this little strike group created this notebook LM and then this podcasting aspect was another small team.

0
💬 0

803.451 - 826.406 Chris

And they were just trying to come up with ways to make it useful. And that's how they came on this. They said it was also counterintuitive, but to make it sound more natural, they had to kind of make them rougher, as they put it. They said, quote, if you have two perfect scripts talking to each other in complete sentences, nobody would listen to it. It would just sound too robotic.

0
💬 0

827.046 - 847.712 Chris

Instead, they had to make them speak like actual people and put like and um and you know. Sometimes they pause or even stammer a little bit. They reinforce each other's points with totally and oh, 100 percent. And yeah, which is sometimes really weird. But, you know, they try to make it conversational. And you're not going to believe this.

0
💬 0

848.552 - 857.799 Chris

But, of course, there's already a group of folks that are quite worked up about this. They're concerned that it's going to collapse the podcast industry because essentially going to dump a bunch of.

858.905 - 883.715 Chris

podcasts onto the market and then they're going to get you know dynamic ads which are then going to just completely dump this rate of ads that remain um and so listen notes has been tracking how many ai podcasts that are on the market now and this is according to their list that they have on github there are now 282 ai generated podcasts most of them hosted on anchor

884.588 - 905.735 Chris

Most of them, not all, but most of them generated by this Google Notebook LLM deep dive tool. And they've put them out. They've got full branding. Some of them have sponsorships. They've got RSS feeds. Most of them, because I mean, I looked at like probably a dozen. I listened to like two. Not one of them that I reviewed disclosed that it was an AI podcast.

0
💬 0

906.136 - 926.055 Chris

Nowhere in there does it say this is an auto-generated show. It makes it – in fact, a lot of them present themselves as experts going in deep or they'll say something like – they'll kind of work in deep dive somehow somewhere in there. But they'll never admit to being – well, the ones I looked at don't admit to being an automatically generated podcast. Or even like Notebook LM. And it's wild.

0
💬 0

926.215 - 952.847 Chris

And they sound decent enough that they can kind of trick you, I think, if you didn't know this was a thing in the market. And here we are. Here we are like a few weeks after this thing has become an official tool. There's already almost 300 podcasts. I don't know, man. To me, it's just, I don't know, it's probably just a flash in the pan. I mean, these things aren't really good enough yet.

Here's what I do now. My LinkedIn is, I would say, give it a week going to be full of, you know, marketing gurus telling you how you can use Google, whatever, right? Notebook ML, right? To generate a, you know, lead generation podcast for your business. There's going to be a ton of this, like digital agencies and SEO firms are just going to, no offense if you're running one of those, right?

Because I get, right now, the big hotness is... I actually find this annoying, because sometimes I do want to read the content, because I try to keep up, right? And everybody has... All these guys have decided that if it's not video, it doesn't count. I hate video content. Unless it's your beautiful old Linux action shows. I just don't want to watch video content. I don't like...

Especially if you're looking for information about something, having to skim through a 14 minute video where they're going to have an intro, they're going to have a like and subscribe, they're going to have a sponsor plug and then they're going to have something else in there.

Recipes, how you have to read their life story before you get the recipe, that's what YouTube is for anything that's instructional. It can be useful if you need a visual demonstration, no doubt about it. I find it very useful when I'm looking how to fix something on the car.

But if I'm just looking for information about how to install a piece of software and I want to know what the flags are for when I launch the application, I don't want to watch a video for that. I just want something written down.

1088.865 - 1110.429 Chris

The only way this would be useful is if I had all the knobs. Like if I could give it the RSS feeds and I could tune what they focus on, what they actually go deep on, what stupid stuff they don't bother saying, what they pretend they are. If I could tweak all the knobs and generate a personalized feed of news that is actually useful and consumable, All right, make that a product for me, Google.

But I don't want a podcast directory that is just full of AI-generated podcasts that are all essentially talking the same nonsense. Let's be honest. They say a few interesting things and they do go in a few interesting details. But a lot of it is analogies and generals that they just kind of agree with. Somebody will make an analogy and then somebody says, oh, yeah, that's exactly right.

0
💬 0

1133.298 - 1152.701 Chris

And it's like, well, that's barely right. That's what a lot of it is, and it's not very high-quality content, so I can't imagine any of it's going to pull down a lot of views. What I can imagine is it is going to soak up a lot of dynamic ads, and I can also imagine it's going to make browsing podcast directories a lot more cluttered, and there's already a lot of noise in there.

So that I'm not super thrilled about. But, you know, if I could actually have a tool like this that I could curate and generate and it was decent to listen to and they made interesting, insightful points. Well, that would be great, but I don't think that's possible with an LLM because the LLM has to go off of stuff that it already knows.

1172.415 - 1190.588 Chris

And that's where the human component is always going to come in, is the original analysis with experience and context and understanding and a little bit of opinion in there sometimes. And that's going to be the unique content that the LLMs will then consume. But somebody has to be out there ahead of that generating the unique stuff that the machine is going to eat up and spit back out.

I will continue to play with it because where I would find it useful and have played with just briefly and it's not useful enough yet is I gave it like 10 sources on a topic. And it was PDFs and it was YouTube videos and it was multiple YouTube videos and multiple articles. Oh, I did this for – I also did this for the Sonos app drama. I just wanted to see what its take was.

And your buddy Paul Theriot has, like, the chronicle of all of the Sonos app drama. From, like, you know, Sonos has a new app to, like, everything, to the CEO apology, all of it. So I fed it all of Theriot's coverage. I fed it some YouTuber coverage. And I fed it some sort of, like, breakdown of the problems that somebody had in a PDF. And I had it generate me a podcast about the Sonos app. Sonos.

Sorry, too many Sonos. The Sonos stuff. And it was decent. It was pretty good. And again, if I could go in there and have it tuned a little bit, like maybe that'd be a way for me to take a bunch of research and distill it down and listen to it while I'm driving and maybe inform my coverage. But not yet. It's not there. And it doesn't seem like that's the direction they're going.

But that's the kind of tooling if it was a tool that I could use. That I would take advantage of. And I think a lot of us could. You know, something comes out. You could throw a new version of Python comes out. You want to know what it does? You throw the release notes in there and it makes a podcast for you about it just for you.

All right. We got some business to get to this week. Buckle up, Mr. Dominick, because we have some boosts. And Maximilian comes in as our baller this week with 1,100,000 sets. Hey, Richard! And he writes, Maximilian writes, Jupiter Party member here, love all the shows, but Coder is my favorite. I'm boosting in to support Python as the official language of the Coder Radio program.

That's pretty great. Adversary 17, or Adversary 17, your choice comes in with 91,442 sats, which is no shabby amount either. I hoard that which all kind covet. He writes, I'm emptying my fountain because we have Clippy that sort of works already. Install the Rust toolchain, and you've got Clippy. What is he referring to? Do you have... Clippy with the Rust toolchain.

Did we talk about doing some Googling really quick to see if I can? We have notes.jupiterbroadcasting.com, by the way. I don't see about that. Yeah, but follow up. Let me know. I appreciate the boost. That's also a fantastic boost. Hybrid sarcasm is also a baller this week. With 100,000 sats. What hurricane? Thanks, Mike, for sacrificing your prep time for us listeners. We don't deserve you.

Thank you for the mega boosts, adversaries, Maximilian and Hybrid. We really appreciate it. We appreciate all the boosts, but those are some really great ones. BHH32 is back with the boosts, and he comes in with 20,000 sets. Boost! It's a nice one.

He says, I realize a lot of things are Electron or web apps. Yeah. That is accurate. However, I believe, and I'm most likely wrong, that native applications are better because of the native integration that can happen. The reason things are currently web apps or Electron is because that's what we've allowed. There is the demand for cross-platform, and we didn't have anything else at the moment.

However, with the rise of Rust, Go, and other languages, all we have to do is put specific config calls in the code and then compile once or twice if you're going to ARM. I create it, and I am still working on a tail-scale GUI applet for Cosmic written in libcosmic. However, theoretically, it would run on macOS or Windows, just minus the panel integration.

Oh, I guess he's had the blog. This is the first one he's ever written. I enjoy it, so I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you, BHH. Yeah, it's super cool.

Regarding the California AI bill, in that clip, Newsom almost sounded like he was going to push for regulation for the use of AI as a tool for specific purposes. Then he went off the rails, got drunk, and watched The Terminator again. Ha, ha, ha.

It's crazy, right? Tomatoes says, I do think there's a big need for AI regulation, but completely differently. Anywhere that a human judgment is needed, anywhere that logic behind a decision is needed to be reviewed, AI is a poor tool. There will technically be a reason for its decision, but not in a way that makes sense to people.

They do have a fun name, Huawei. Huawei. Thank you very much, Tomato. It was good to hear from you. VT52 comes in with a Jar Jar Boost 5,000 cents. You're so boost!

He says, the project is a work in progress and allows existing... Oh, yeah, okay, eBPF for Windows. They're working on eBPF for Windows and moving some of the eBPF tool chains and APIs from Million Linux ecosystem to run on top of Windows. Man, how good is Microsoft taking the best bits of Linux and just grafting it on top of that NT kernel, right? They're just so good at that. Wow.

They're going to make an API compatibility later with eBPF Linux kernel apps. That's interesting. Look at WSL Go. Spectris comes in with Rodex. I have the second gen AirPod Pros. Conversation awareness is great. Walking the dog, I can stop to talk to the neighbors anytime. No grabbing my ear to pause or pull them out. Okay, so I was wondering about that.

Don't people still think it's weird that you have them in when you're talking to them? Because I've noticed two types of people in the world. Those who will just start talking to you. I had a guy scare the crap out of me. Just came, walked up behind me, and I had silence mode on because there's people out doing yard work. And he starts talking to me, scared the crap out of me.

And then I have other people who won't talk to me. And they'll point to the ear. You got your AirPods in? Did you take your AirPods out? And they won't talk to you. So I feel like this conversational awareness feature is good, but it doesn't solve like the social stuff. I don't know. I think I'm going to pick something up that is conversational awareness though and try it out.

You know, I this again might be an old band thing. I just use my AirPods the way I use the original AirPods. Right. To listen to, you know, crazy books about politics. And that's it. I usually only have one in.

All you got to do is, first of all, you get your $300 AirPods. And then, of course, you got to have your $1,200 phone that you pair it to. And then you get yourself a $600 watch. And then what you can do is raise your wrist and tap your fingers to pause the audio. Problem solved.

We really appreciate that. If you'd like to get in on the fun, you just need a new podcast app and some stats. We'll have links in the show notes for that to make it really easy.

I'm looking for examples of companies that have done dev relations well. So boost in if you know of a good example or... A bad one. I'm looking for those two of companies that have good or bad dev relations, either departments or attempts, schemes, whatever it might be. And my reasoning will become clear soon. Mr. Dominic, is there anywhere you want to send the good people?
