SED News is a monthly podcast by Software Engineering Daily featuring hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer discussing significant developments in software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the tech industry at large.
This episode highlights NVIDIA’s $5B investment in Intel and $100M in OpenAI, Meta’s AR glasses demo issues, and the unexpected $50B acquisition of Electronic Arts by private equity. They also dive into Anthropic’s record Series F funding and Google’s Genie 3 “world model” and its implications for AI’s future.
Gregor and Sean broaden the discussion to explore the future of devices and hardware, evaluating Apple’s Vision Pro and Snap’s AR glasses commitment to identify critical developer-oriented form factors.
The hosts then showcase standout projects from Hacker News, such as hosting a website on a disposable vape, playing Snake in a browser’s address bar, and a community-driven reversal of Slack’s high billing error.
