>I haven't checked, but are things like the MIDI framework still badly documented in the Swift docs? Documentation for the entire audio stack has actually gotten quite a bit worse. Many references have been removed without new repla

Commercial plug spawn for chicken of the woods is widely available, and there are some small-scale producers. Yields are unpredictable at scale though, so it's more of a farmer's market product at the moment. It's not like mo

The title is misleading -- few or none of the examples given in this article, as far as I can tell, use AI or machine learning. They're just "automated systems" in the sense of computer systems that execute regular business r

It's not quite that efficient... IBM's arxiv paper says "64 PiB of disk space are required for 53-qubit circuits, and 128 PiB for 54-qubit circuits". Summit has 250 PiB of total storage currently, so it would seem that a

Plato was a "great philosopher", in the sense of the how philosophers tend to approach things: propose an abstract concept and then contemplate its consequences. The initial abstraction doesn't necessarily have to be tethered

OS X's CoreAudio is still an incredibly well-designed technical architecture, designed by a team who really understood digital clocking from a hardware perspective and the importance of low-latency kernel support. It's still kind

MOTU just released a statement indicating that they’re only working on new drivers for the hybrid and newer devices. Firewire gear like the popular 828mk3 classic aren’t getting drivers.

That illustrates the problem though... It’s not a new framework, but the documentation is still poor, and important limitations of it on OS X are not documented at all, years later. (I picked this example specifically because it was a subje

You have a point, but another thing to note is that the quality of Apple’s developer docs for audio drivers and CoreAudio has been decreasing. Some major behaviours/quirks of new frameworks like AVAudioEngine on OS X are not documented

For many audio hardware drivers, it's not simply a matter of recompiling to 64-bit. Apple has deprecated a lot of things and seems to be trying to move everything over to AudioServerPlugins, which essentially requires a full rewrite of

There were two different designs for MagSafe 1... the design used on the 2008 Macbook and 2008 unibody Macbook Pro had a plastic rectangular end that jutted straight out. The design used on the early Macbook Air is like you describe, with a

The "smart money" would start buying, but I imagine the concern is that as passive instruments become the majority of the market, there wouldn't be a deep enough pool of assets held by "smart money" to provide offse

It's not just you... I think it reminds us of Helvetica because it borrows some common elements from Helvetica that are frequently changed in other Helvetica-like faces. For example, the ascender on the lowercase "t" is horiz
