I’m not too familiar with AMD/XSX architecture, but why wouldn’t ROP scale with number of GPU cores? Why would MS design something with lower ROP/core? Also, where did you get these details from?

The RT hardware takes up a small fraction of die area based on some articles I read a year ago. Furthermore, RT isn’t a gimmick: it’s literally the holy grail of graphics. Ask yourself why AMD, Intel, and consoles are all moving to it this

That seems like a very one-sided take considering Apple’s history. Moreover, the reason is almost certainly related to Apple not wanting to proliferate Nvidia’s tools and instead force developers to use their Metal API. AFAIK Apple’s even a

I have not completely understood why Uber is at all a reasonable investment nor why it ever received so much VC funding. There is no business model. Uber doesn’t have anything unique, least of all self-driving tech. There won’t be any sort

Any ideas what Dallas office will be doing? And what does it mean to build an entire skyscraper for themselves? I thought these things were leased out by floor to multiple companies.

Tested on iOS 13: I can scroll through thumbnail previews of images but tapping to view full size opens the App Store to Yelp. As for reviews, it shows 3 of them as shortened previews, so I can’t even view a single full review (unless it’s

Using Yelp as a POI provider prevents me from completely dropping Google Maps. Even ignoring Yelp’s shitty practices, needing the Yelp app to view reviews and images is a showstopper. Apple needs to dump Yelp and go full Google here their o

Why would their head of WW Marketing go down for this? This would be the fault of whoever was in charge of the keyboard design and its multiple failing iterations. So presumably the head of Mac HW.

Doesn’t Uber also lease cars to drivers? I was surprised to see in the Bay Area that so many drivers had fairly new cars. I asked one about it and he said that Uber leased it out. Presumably a portion of the driver’s income goes directly to

People who have vested interests in keeping it that way: NIMBYers. People who currently own homes and want to see their habitable “retirement plans” grow indefinitely. And god forbid we build apartment complexes greater than 5 stories all o

Readwise seems very useful to me since I already use Instapaper. Since you're here, I was hoping to ask some questions: 1. Have you considered some way to add Instapaper-like parsing and highlighting into your service? It isn't ch
