My understanding was that Apple wanted to figure out how to build systems with multi-SOCs to replace the Ultra chips. The way it is currently done means that the Max chips need to be designed around the interconnect. Theoretically speaking,

No the comment misunderstood the difference between CPU memory and unified memory. This can dedicate 500GB of high bandwidth memory to the GPU. - ~3.5X that of an H200.

Because the .1% is who will buy it? I mean, yeah, supply and demand. High demand in a niche with no supply currently means large margins. I don't think anyone commercially offers nearly this much unified memory or NPU/GPUs with an

The one you saw was the only one left after the insane accident that destroyed the other. It is still on display in Dayton.

The AF Museum is probably the best air museum in the world. Of course, you have the Smithsonian in DC, but the size limits and general audience they expect really tones it down. You end up with a couple insane exhibits (Command Module, X-15

So, I bought the Original, the Steel from Kickstarter, the Time Round, and Pebble 2. The story was about unintrusive technology. An Apple watch is an iPhone on your wrist. It does so much that you forget all the things it does. Problem is:

That is just China's general rules around tech. Awful? Yes. But not a global issue. Most non-chinese companies are forced to have their chinese properties ran by a chinese company. This is shown by companies like VW having cars made

The free range eggs at Aldi in PA are ~$5.30/doz vs ~$6.50/doz for the normal eggs. Might be cheaper than normal.

This whole 1% focus is just silly. The Concorde was expensive because everything around it was expensive, not just the nature of high speed flight. They built 20 planes total and never actually capitalized on large scale cost savings. The p

They list out what the proprietary bits are. All of it is third party gernical hardware interface libraries that they do not own. Bluetooth stack, etc. All stuff you can rewrite easier today. The Magic of pebble was the UX of the OS and it

A bunch of new games are RT-only. Nvidia has aggressively marketed on the idea that RT, FG, and DLSS are "must haves" in game engines and that 'raster is the past'. Resolution is also a big jump. 4K 120Hz in HDR is rapid

Which, weirdly, should be simple. The Vision Pro’s Mac mirroring is probably the exact same stack as the IPhone to Mac feature.

by agloe_dreams 2y ago
I’m fully expecting this to just be a ported version of the Vision Pro’s feature that allows a Virtual Desktop of your Mac. In that context, it seemed to have extremely low latency.

I mean, if you only think from the scale of 'only I exist on earth and nobody else' then yes, but if you consider the grand scale of tax evasion, the cost in your taxes from all of this is vastly greater than any credit card fee.

This is actually a lie. Using a credit card is always cheaper to the merchant, maybe the merchant doesnt realize it but cash is a bad deal like Uber is a bad deal - They money is up front so you never realize the costs. In the case of user

Boy are you going to be shocked when Walmart, target, Amazon brag about the X% income increase when that happens and while prices continue to rise. Zero, zero companies will discount the sales price when the rewards cards are gone. There is

One interesting detail is that Mazda never designed a wankel after the 90s. They have claimed since then that computer design and simulation has allowed for dramatic performance gains.

That looks frickin' awesome, any pricing ideas?

All of this is weird personally. I think it is weird that the 7840u (Z1X laptop model #) exists in the first place. It has a wildly overpowered GPU for a mobile chip of it's type and while they quote a 28W TDP, the actual max-power dr

I have one - The iPhone X's swipe navigation is brilliant. There is a little WebOS in there in multitasking gestures left and right, but it is such a straightforward system that works.

The best example of this is the macOS document proxies. They were a sensical representation of an icon you can drag and drop, now they are hidden under a hover of the title that stupidly animates it out. Anybody would would make a critical

In fairness, the title probably matches. You go off and write a DirectX translation layer and make it work properly in an entirely different operating environment while matching DX quirks. Absurdly complex.

Thread and matter are a mess from both technical and consumer angles. Yes, they are both good technologies...but the players in the hub space have made an utter mess of it if you have multiple hubs or, like most Americans, use an iPhone but

> Given Apple's general money-grubbing ways (see: the App Store), this is somewhat surprising. The age of it is the why. Steve was far less focused on service revenue. Plus, podcasts sold iPods and iPhones.

The Vision Pro is not an actual AR headset - it does not offer optical passthrough. Just digital reprojection of the exterior cameras. In case of a bug or crash, you are now blind.

Recently, Aldi has started TV brand advertising here in PA, one of their biggest US markets. I was actually shocked by how incredibly core to the store moral their ads are - they literally brag about their smaller sku count, small stores, n

The ICE is a generator rather than connected to the wheels. The truck operates as an EV at all times and then fires the motor when at low state of charge. How it runs is really not important as long as it charges the battery enough to exten

Probably mostly a 'dont need to'. CCS is annoying- you need the apps and/or to swipe a card, there is no integration in the GPS, etc. The Supercharger is like EZpass for charging - you just plug it in -they bill you later.

Dodge is building this for you next year - it is called the Ramcharger. It is a 190mi EV with a v6 generator for an added 400 miles of gas range.
