It's weird that we use "postmortem" in those cases since the word literally means "after death"; kind of implying something bad happened. I get that most of these postmortems are done after major development ceases,

It's hilarious watching $50,000 worth of robots take so long to assemble a couple dollars worth of Lego. It's like peering into the old folks home for robots.

From Wikipedia on Chinese Water Torture: > Despite the name, it is not a Chinese invention and it is not traditional anywhere in Asia. Its earliest known version was first documented by Hippolytus de Marsiliis in Bologna (now in Italy) i

A pixel is two dimensional, by definition. It is a unit of area. Even in the signal processing "sampling" definition of a pixel, it still has an areal density an is therefore still two-dimensional. The problem in this article is i

These don't appear to be intended as watermarks. They're merely a valid use of non-breaking space for tightly coupled elements like "2.5 billion" and "Title I". Sure, a human author would almost never do that

Snow Leopard was macOS moving so slowly people thought Apple were abandoning the Mac. Apple changed how they tied OS updates to hardware sales in this era and this left a lot of Macs on Snow Leopard for half a decade. So people remember tha

The argument to force side loading is the argument that Apple are using market position in phone hardware sales to control, and profit from, the adjacent market of software that runs on phones. Yes, you can run software on phones via a web

It doesn't seem to be a US initiative. I'm sure they're getting tax credits for investment (none of the articles I can find actually detail the US gov involvement) but the project is mostly just a few multinationals setting u

They were supposedly commercial vehicles with real need for size and towing capacity. Because no one would fork over stupid amounts of money for a f*k off big truck if they didn't have a real need. Right?

I'd love a Mac-targeted ultra-wide at any size. Unfortunately, there aren't any ultra-wide panels with 200dpi resolutions (Apple's version of retina for desktop). Most top out around 140dpi and therefore need to be run at sca

I don't know how different but it apparently has dramatically improved hardware shaders compared to earlier M chips so I'm guessing that a lot of this might be different, there.

Ultimately, whoever controls operating system updates always has control over your privacy. Even if Apple did offer perfect privacy, there's no reason an update couldn't completely change that. Bluntly: if you don't trust y

Assange wasn't really a threat on his own. He was merely an outlet for others (Chelsea Manning, Russian propagandists). The question was whether he encouraged others. Snowden showed that leakers didn't need Wikileaks for Chelsea

The theoretical number of turns needed to solve from any position is 20 so the 16-ish turns I counted in the video doesn't seem far off. Any "recording breaking attempt" is going to be a little dependent on a good starting po

Objective-C does that but it has the effect of separating serious consequences from their causes. Places that really require non-null have a much more difficult time finding where the null value originated. And since Objective-C contained a

There's no open washing — Apple have released the code (both training and inference), the weights and a research paper explaining. It's about as open as you could expect from them.

by gilgoomesh 2y ago
The lack of distinction is confusing but Apple have released both the training source and the inference source + models/weights at the same time — so at least both are true.

There isn't necessarily much difference between implementing features in driver compute code versus GPU hardware support. Even the "hardware support" is usually implemented in GPU microcode. It often goes through the same sil

In the latest Waveform Podcast, Marques Brownlee wore the display for 2+ hours. He didn't feel any eye-strain, just weight strain. I've seen people complain about fatigue after 5 hours on a plane, so it's not impossible but i
