No, and VR’s inability to match focal distance with parallax causes the vergence-accommodation conflict.

Glasses like these put the screen at a focal distance further than a monitor, closer to TV distance. Optics wise it’s basically the same as VR, if a VR headset is easier to try. If your corrected vision needs stuff 6” away, don’t expect AR

Folded, it's the same dimensions as a 16" MacBook Pro, so it would fit in the same backpacks. So digital nomads.

Apple GPUs run fp16 at the same rate as fp32 except on phones, so it is comparable for ML. No one runs inference from fp32 weights. But the point was about area efficiency

Eyeballing 3rd party annotated die shots [1], it’s about the size of two GPU cores, but achieves 15.8 tflops. Which is more than the reported 14.7 tflops of the 32-core GPU in the binned M4 Max. [1] https://vengineer.hatenablog.c

It's incredibly niche, but Gemma 3 27b can recognize a number of popular video game characters even in novel fanart (I was a little surprised at that when messing around with its vision). But the Q4 quants, even with QAT, are very like

It does not; the decompression is memory to memory, one tensor at a time, so it’s worse. They claim less than 200 GB/s on an A100, and their benchmarks suggest it’s somewhere between 1.5-4x slower at batch size 1 depending on GPU and m

Which big mass spammers are you thinking of? The only ones I can think of are political campaigns; scams obviously can’t be compliant at all. And even political campaigns are having to switch providers once or twice a year since they genera

Low trust as in intended to be used by 3rd parties without Javascript or any form of attestation. Like the Wii U client or I think the iframe embeds at one point. (maybe they've all been killed by now, I haven't been paying too mu

Not a login token, but rather an attestation token. Presumably TV clients don't really have a good mechanism for attestation that isn't tied to DRM (web technically doesn't either, but the web code can be updated daily...)

macOS really wants to do different things for TVs vs monitors, so if it decides your monitor is a TV for whatever reason, it’ll probably prefer YCbCr and also not offer any HiDPI modes except exactly 2x 2560x1440 is a strong indicator of

Asm is only good on one architecture; inline asm further restricts that to at most two compilers. Plus most of the "documentation" for inline asm constraints is scattered across various comments in the source code of those compile

Well that was more true when you had to care about the 8 registers of x86, CPUs were only like 2-4 wide, and codecs preferred to operate on 8x8 blocks and one bitdepth. Nowadays the impact of suboptimal register allocation and addressing ca

Yet the FE versions end up cheaper than third party cards (at least by MSRP), and with fewer issues caused by the third parties cheaping out on engineering…

There aren’t many reasons to write an inline asm block that the compiler will elide because of no apparent effects; more likely you screwed up the constraints. If it’s due to ensuring correct memory accesses relative to the compiler, it’s u

Which part? The inability for 3rd parties to create bootable images instead of using Apple-signed tools? Because that was 4 years ago and is kind of a fundamental requirement for the chain of trust needed for signed system volume security i

Intrinsics are compatible across compilers and OSs within the same architecture, and are also mostly compatible between 32 and 64 bit variants of the same architecture. With asm, you have to handle the 3 different calling conventions betwee

Well, when you don’t appear to know or care about the actual issues stemming from poor thermals (Intel relying too much on turbo clocks, toasty crotches, low battery life, noisy fans) and instead complain about made-up issues, yeah.

Do you disagree with Intel's stated Tjunction, or disagree that Intel is capable of controlling clocks to remain within its stated thermal limits? Like even with Intel chips that actually died early en masse (13th and 14th gen), the
