AI engineer, who is also wearing the apple watch ultra with a tiny wrist, here. Ellis' theory mostly checks out, and let me explain why the solution can not be simpler. Our arms' radius are not uniform throughout, which means that watches can move on your wrists. Depending on where your watch is (e.g, close on the bone, strap loosen), the sensor data vary, including the small intervals where your HR is 0. The amount of false positives are big, and traditional algorithm will annoyingly inform you every loss of pulse. This is why hospitals clip your fingers to track your HR. A model can, as Ellis has guessed, take into account other metrics, and intepret the abnormal progression of your HR to make an informed decision.
That actually doesn’t seem to be the case , I looked the trade in on my 14 pro max a while ago and I was shocked to see around a thousand bucks ( Australian) trade in for a good condition 14 pro max, if that is not a decent trade in on a nearly 1 year old device , what would you consider good ?
@@mikldude9376Anything that isn't the most recent iPhone will be trash. You can trade in a mint condition Samsung flagship and they will "kindly" recycle it for you
1:18:20 - an explanation for Ellis n David. For noise cancellation the earbuds play a 'negative' of the noise it hears through the mic into your ear. Usually the mic is outside the earbuds. So the Tensor A1 in pixel buds works 90 x faster than the time it takes for sound to travel from the mic on the outside to your ear. I hope this explains. And they could have worded this better
1:09:00 if it was so straight forward life alert bracelets, or similar products, would already have this functionality, they don't. There are instances where a peripheral pulse (arms/legs) is not detectable either because a heart beating erratically (arrhythmias), not at all (asystole/flat line) or due to low blood pressure (usually less than 90 systolic)...there are plenty of other reasons too. As a doctor, multiple physical observations allow me to figure this out easy. If I was limited to just observations on the wrist, it would require more inference or AI in the watch's case to avoid false calls to EMS. I think you guys thought heart rate detection was a binary outcome (alive or dead), it's not, so it needs AI to not be useless.
This is probably the first time in a year where I'm not gonna watch WVFRM on a Friday because I have an exam on Saturday. I guess I'll celebrate my Friday tomorrow 🎉
The reason the test devices were not Pixel 9's is because they wanted to show that Gemini is not a Pixel exclusive feature. It's an Android feature and they want iphone users to come to Android. Rick Osterloh knows and publicly said, that very few Samsung users switch to Pixel. And while of course Made by Google wants you to use their devices. In the bigger picture they just want Iphone users to come to Android.
Dawg, what are you on about? The demos were on pixel 9 devices, both during the live demos and the ones Marques did in his video. You need to buy a new pair of eyes AND a new pixel 9 so you can ask it what phone was in the presentation and videos.
@@jamopopper 🤦🤦 (10:42 to 17:34 on the Made by Google keynote) they had not even shown the new Pixel yet. They were testing Gemini features on the S24Ultra and the Motorola Raz+. Showing that Gemini is for Android. Not a Pixel exclusive. This is what David, Andrew, and Marques were talking about. No one said they weren't demoing the Pixel 9. They just made the comment that it was strange for a Made By Google event the first devices to come out wasn't the new Pixel. It's Samsung and Motorola devices. I pointed out that the reason for them showing off Gemini features on other devices before the Pixel 9. Is because they want users to see that Gemini is an Android feature. Not a Pixel exclusive feature. Seriously Stop Your Foolishness.
@@BowlingNG You're right, I just watched the presentation and saw the phones you were talking about. I never watched the presentation, thank you for calling me out on that. I assumed and never saw any mention of it anywhere, and we all know what happens when you assume. I think I might need to use the new phones at this rate, and get told the wrong info by Gemini anyway.
I just want to add that loss of pulse detection could be helpful to anyone with serious health conditions that may be living alone. I knew a friend of mine that he lived alone and he had apnea and breathing issues and he was found dead in his home alone a week after he had died. It might not of changed anything if he had a watch that had that feature but at the very least he would of not spent a week alone dead in his own home, if that means anything to anyone that cares about a loved one.
That screenshots going to the website already happens and has happened for awhile on my samsung phone. Not sure when it was added, but i have a screenshot of a google search and i can click to go to website in the samsung gallery
@@TheBismrk Yea and both these features were before this big AI boom. I can see AI helping with the eraser filling in the space, but for the screenshot thing, there is nothing AI about that
01:00:20 “Add me” to me is just another tool driving us further from actual human interactions. At least here in Europe, it is quite common to approach people and ask if they could take a photo of you with your group. I’ve never heard someone say “no” or deliver a bad photo and just like circling to search clothes of passerbys, instead of asking them and complementing their fit, it takes away another human to human interaction which we can definitely all benefit from.
It's always a bad photo. lol Also, it has happened a lot of times that they just run away with your phone. Let's keep it real, not everyone is a nice person.
I don't think people trust that many others with their £1k phone. I would never ask someone because I wouldn't see it again. It's not really a plot to reduce social interaction 😅
3 rd time watching this .... I can't send money but I can watch you're entire video library over and over because the team Marquis built is the very best...thanks for everything guys . Sincerely Saylor
Add me really shocked and impressed me. It looks like such a useful thing to have and almost felt Apple like in the thought behind it. I was just thinking the whole time, "this is such an obvious problem, why wasn't something like this thought of sooner?" Good job to Google on thinking of this.
For context: Screenshots actually don't take that much space as a normal photo. Since normal photos have a lot of noise in it, when you compress them, you have to store all those details. With screenshots, you can compress them in a much better way because a lot of it is same pixels (or much more uniform as compared to a normal photo).
(51:00) but doesn't the Samsung gallery app already do the jump back to a page thing on screenshots? or am i the only person who likes the their gallery app and noticed this?
Fun fact: Google actually had a project blueberry, it just wasn't public. I was an engineer on Google Drive. We had a project called project blueberry to reduce memory leaks, which were making my team in particular "blue in the face" trying to debug them ad hoc. Thus, we created a project to get actual dedicated time for fixing it.
The screenshots app is Weird, for example on Samsung phones if you take a screenshot of a website page in the gallery app it shows an option to "go to website" so i feel like this whole thing could have just been a part of google photos
Starting the demo with Samsung might have actually worked out for Pixel since the Samsung demo didn’t go too smoothly, and then Pixel’s demo was way smoother. It kind of showed, in a roundabout way, why Pixel stands out for AI stuff compared to other Android phones.
I have a condition called Arrhythmia, so basically sometimes my heart just stops beating, that is the " no pulse event " you guys were referring to. I am having an Implant in my chest to record this event for future treatments, but this feature seems so cool, because it calls for the medical help. which is really really good. that reason alone makes that watch seems compelling. (But I am currently inside a wall😑 So 😖)
1:08:24 So a doctor here, but you can have pulseless events in case of arrhythmias of your heart. Conditions like asystole, Ventricular fibrillation, and pulseless ventricular tachycardia can lead to pulseless states where, if intervention is done in time, can save the life of a person. Hope this helps! Big fan by the way!
Here's the revised comment: "I completely agree with you, MKBHD! When Google does this, it feels more like a Samsung event, especially with Gemini being used in Samsung devices before the Pixel 9 series even got announced. The lack of focus on Android and the Pixel lineup during Google I/O 2024 was surprising, and the whole emphasis on AI almost overshadowed what we usually expect from Google in these events. The design and features of the Pixel 9 series are impressive, but it seems like Google is moving in a different direction.
Here is something that wasn’t covered by Google or, the Team there. Google is selling these phones with “One Year Of Gemini Premium” which covers some of the features that were announced. So which one, or how many of these Gemini features are going to disappear after that first year? Google never said what Premium Features are covered under that umbrella. You guys described all of these cool features, what would you think if half of them were taken away after the first year unless you pay for them?
Whole idea for Google is to push Gemini, phones felt like after thought whole annoucement. So far Gemini is nothing spectacular at all, and not that useful for most consumers, but Googles main goal is to push it and have those insane profits from subscriptions, phones are now only to push Gemini.
1:18:04 Processing 90x faster than the speed of sound is a useful metric for ANC as the more processing you can get between ambient noise hitting the outside mic and what you can produce in the driver the better the ANC.
1:18:57 I'm guessing the "faster than speed of sound" claim is about latency. The signal moves from your phone to your ears and gets converted into audio faster than it would take sound from your phone speakers to travel the same distance (assuming the phone is, say, 1 foot from your head).
The prices for the new Pixel devices is what made me lose interest completely. I'd rather buy a previous gen Pixel for like 400-500 max. Currently on the 7 and it's been a gem.
51:20 Don't Samsung phones already do that? If you take an screenshot in chrome, it can take you to the website from the gallery app with a single button.
Oh come on. The presentation was amazing. AI is the future and hardware is very mature now so the presentation made sense to me. I’m an Apple fan boy and I personally loved it. For the first time EVER I considered changing companies. FYI, the Sabrina Carpenter tour photo fail did fail because in the first 2 snaps he didn’t get all of the image and it failed to identify what it was bc of it.
I don't know if David will see this, but in 00:48:45 when you say that the diffusion models don't generate the same thing twice, it depends on the randomisation seed. Typically it is set to 0 (random) which uses the timestamp to generate a random number, but if you fix the seed to something, then every time you set that seed, it will generate the same thing. It is mainly used for reproducibility.
Great point when you mentioned price. One of the big reasons people liked the pixel was it was a company's flagship phone but discounted. If this is the same as Samsung, Google will learn a hard lesson
Isn't the 90 times faster then the speed of sound from the mic to the driver for noice cancelation so the entire processing of the Opposite wave happens really fast.
which features require the gemeni advanced (free for 1 year on pro devices and fold) subscription? + if you also need the fitbit subscription as well for that heart rate pulse dying SOS thing ? If yes, how much in addition to the phone subscription you have to pay ? ? is it worth it?

Just another awesome podcast episode, guys you are the best 😊❤❤. Considering switching from Samsung ecosystem to Google (smartphone, watch, buds) should I?🤔🤔 And yeah keep it up 🤟🤟💪💪
Glad to see Andrew, David and now Ellis in color! Because usually they are SO white that you might as well be watching the video in monochromatic! Thanks, summer!
From what I understood about the sound processing speed is basically that it's capable of processing significantly faster than how the sound would actually be fed in, so, the post processing, noise cancelling and pass through would all be veryyyy real time. Of course, if all of this is trustworthy. But also, I might be massively misunderstanding here.
My Pixel Screenshots App conspiracy theory is: They dont want to put it into google photos because then its not "only on pixel" and they were missing new standout features. They probably will after a while when its not as new and interesting anymore.
I have a Pixel 6 Pro and I've ordered the 9 Pro XL through my carrier. Should I still upgrade? The major bummer for me with 6 Pro is that it doesn't have face unlock.
Had to freeze the video when marques is watching a video of himself on youtube. To me it looks like the size of the video would be that of a pixel 8 or 9 xl just laying in the middle of the full black screen..... Can you make TH-cam full screen (no black) or is it limited by the app?
51:00 But samsung already has that in the native gallery app? Like for years, even before the AI thingy and works with chrome and samsung Internet browser
1:00:10 *_hey mkbhd! "add me" is life changing AI feature for me use mostly, hope it catch up shadows from 2nd image too correctly day & night time both. "gemini ai assistant chat box", "magic editor" & "circle to search" is my mostly using other ai feature on my pixel. also i use Gemini Ai assistant chat box mostly for translation of lyrics, summery of yt videos type text based things that chatGPT mostly can't do accurate. i don't even care about "weather ai app", "screenshot ai app", "ai call transcripts" probably not using them._*
51:20 The metadata link part is not new... I have a S23 ultra, and whenever i take a screenshot in a web page, in the gallery app i have the option to go to website... So i think screenshots app is really unnecessary 👀🤷
Fun fact the camera bump on the Google pixel 9 is actually the Google search bar
🤯
Bro thinked about that yesterday looking to my Pixel 8 and It was like a mindblowing
Yup Yup! Also the toast notifications, the quick toggles on the phone, the hangup button when in a call or video call, the pixel tablet charging dock and the ring that comes with the official pixel tablet case, the new google TV streamer, the camera glass from the P7 and P8 series, the Google TV remote, the new google charging block. And like you mentioned... the search bar within any app that has a search bar!
This was definitely my thought as well. I literally thought I bet they did that on purpose.

AI engineer, who is also wearing the apple watch ultra with a tiny wrist, here. Ellis' theory mostly checks out, and let me explain why the solution can not be simpler. Our arms' radius are not uniform throughout, which means that watches can move on your wrists. Depending on where your watch is (e.g, close on the bone, strap loosen), the sensor data vary, including the small intervals where your HR is 0. The amount of false positives are big, and traditional algorithm will annoyingly inform you every loss of pulse. This is why hospitals clip your fingers to track your HR. A model can, as Ellis has guessed, take into account other metrics, and intepret the abnormal progression of your HR to make an informed decision.

1:18:04 Processing 90x faster than the speed of sound is a useful metric for ANC as the more processing you can get between ambient noise hitting the outside mic and what you can produce in the driver the better the ANC.

I love it too, but it’s not a shirt, it’s a jersey.😜😜
a New Jersey
1:18:57 I'm guessing the "faster than speed of sound" claim is about latency. The signal moves from your phone to your ears and gets converted into audio faster than it would take sound from your phone speakers to travel the same distance (assuming the phone is, say, 1 foot from your head).
Pixel 9 Pro Fold: Because one screen just wasn't enough to distract you from your life
When I wake up and the podcast isn't out yet, I'm CONVINCED it's not Friday.
Finally been waiting days for a new episode
Loved seeing Adam in that Real Madrid jersey 🤩🤘🏾
Review embargo date?
The prices for the new Pixel devices is what made me lose interest completely. I'd rather buy a previous gen Pixel for like 400-500 max. Currently on the 7 and it's been a gem.
51:20 Don't Samsung phones already do that? If you take an screenshot in chrome, it can take you to the website from the gallery app with a single button.
Oh come on. The presentation was amazing. AI is the future and hardware is very mature now so the presentation made sense to me. I’m an Apple fan boy and I personally loved it. For the first time EVER I considered changing companies.
FYI, the Sabrina Carpenter tour photo fail did fail because in the first 2 snaps he didn’t get all of the image and it failed to identify what it was bc of it.
I don't know if David will see this, but in 00:48:45 when you say that the diffusion models don't generate the same thing twice, it depends on the randomisation seed. Typically it is set to 0 (random) which uses the timestamp to generate a random number, but if you fix the seed to something, then every time you set that seed, it will generate the same thing. It is mainly used for reproducibility.
Adam is wearing Real Madrid shirt ❤ hala madrid
Great point when you mentioned price. One of the big reasons people liked the pixel was it was a company's flagship phone but discounted. If this is the same as Samsung, Google will learn a hard lesson
you don't really get a pixel at full price, thats a fact. They almost always have some massive deal going on or carriers price them very cheap.
Adam Hala Madrid! Nice jersey..siiiiiiiiiii!!...salute from Madrid, Spain 🇪🇦...ordered my Pixel 9 PRO XL 512gb Hazel color arrives August 22nd!
This episode was the exact time length it took me to make my lunch and eat it. Vibes! 🎉
So Marques how is the Pixel Pro Fold I can’t decide to go with the Pixel Pro Fold or Samsung Fold 6 which one ?
How to get a nice Friday:
Travel ⛔
Video games ⛔
Watch waveform podcast 🗣️🔥☑️
Isn't the 90 times faster then the speed of sound from the mic to the driver for noice cancelation so the entire processing of the Opposite wave happens really fast.
How many cameras are behind pixel 9 pro fold? Looks like four. Whats that sensor at the top left corner? Is it the temperature sensor or dept sensor
which features require the gemeni advanced (free for 1 year on pro devices and fold) subscription? + if you also need the fitbit subscription as well for that heart rate pulse dying SOS thing ? If yes, how much in addition to the phone subscription you have to pay ? ? is it worth it?
1:19:32 I'm assuming the old processor processed X amount of data in the time it took sound to travel 1m/s. The new one does it 90x faster

awesome guys. i dont watch these events anymore. i just get the good review from you guys
Just another awesome podcast episode, guys you are the best 😊❤❤.
Considering switching from Samsung ecosystem to Google (smartphone, watch, buds) should I?🤔🤔
And yeah keep it up 🤟🤟💪💪
Still watching on my Pixel 6. Personally, the best looking and build quality has been solid for me.
Glad to see Andrew, David and now Ellis in color! Because usually they are SO white that you might as well be watching the video in monochromatic! Thanks, summer!
Great Podcast Guy's and David next wedding you need to take all the guys.💯✌️
Errr, Samsung already had that in the gallery app. It keeps the URL / link to the screenshot you took it from @51:00
From what I understood about the sound processing speed is basically that it's capable of processing significantly faster than how the sound would actually be fed in, so, the post processing, noise cancelling and pass through would all be veryyyy real time. Of course, if all of this is trustworthy. But also, I might be massively misunderstanding here.
Question about this add me feature: does the image have meta data to say the image has been manipulated? Cause legally it could be a problem.
Are the Ai features usable forever or limited time, like samsung?
35:55 Carrot does have an Android app! Hasn't been updated in a year and crashed constantly on a friend's phone but we don't talk about that.
My Pixel Screenshots App conspiracy theory is:
They dont want to put it into google photos because then its not "only on pixel" and they were missing new standout features. They probably will after a while when its not as new and interesting anymore.
@1:18:30 sound is a waveform. waves have a frequency.
it's nonsense though.
0:38 The look of derision on Marques' face over that Google Picture/Memories comment 😂😂
So excited to see Adam with the Madrid shirt. ¡Hala Madrid y nada más! Vamosssssss
1:24:29 Davids points didnt get updated
Should be 18 now
I have a Pixel 6 Pro and I've ordered the 9 Pro XL through my carrier. Should I still upgrade? The major bummer for me with 6 Pro is that it doesn't have face unlock.
Had to freeze the video when marques is watching a video of himself on youtube. To me it looks like the size of the video would be that of a pixel 8 or 9 xl just laying in the middle of the full black screen..... Can you make TH-cam full screen (no black) or is it limited by the app?
51:00 But samsung already has that in the native gallery app? Like for years, even before the AI thingy and works with chrome and samsung Internet browser
So what do things going to happen to all the screenshots we already have? Will they get automatically added into this app?
that add me feature for getting people in group photos is actually brilliant
Ellisssss is back! Now love it
1:00:10 *_hey mkbhd! "add me" is life changing AI feature for me use mostly, hope it catch up shadows from 2nd image too correctly day & night time both. "gemini ai assistant chat box", "magic editor" & "circle to search" is my mostly using other ai feature on my pixel. also i use Gemini Ai assistant chat box mostly for translation of lyrics, summery of yt videos type text based things that chatGPT mostly can't do accurate. i don't even care about "weather ai app", "screenshot ai app", "ai call transcripts" probably not using them._*
Great job switching the Ad progress bar from incrementing to decrementing. Its the subtle details that make people sit through yhe Ad read.
1:18:00 I think they're stating that they're sampling at 1800kHz.
20kHz x 90 = 1800kHz
Also, Ellis is wrong here. Speed of sound is also just a rate.
I believe this sampling rate because they're trying to dumb down their language for the most STEM illiterate.
51:20 The metadata link part is not new... I have a S23 ultra, and whenever i take a screenshot in a web page, in the gallery app i have the option to go to website... So i think screenshots app is really unnecessary 👀🤷
