Excellent documentary. All that talk of hot lead made me wonder how many workers in there suffered some form of lead poisoning: https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=4426

All the AI software running on these data-centre chips is almost exclusively running on Linux. I wish people would stop talking rubbish about NVIDIA's Linux support.

My guess is they will launch their own cloud platform powered by Apple Silicon. Click & deploy from within Xcode (I hate Xcode though.)

Yes, you can interface with PCIe devices using DriverKit, Apple's new user-space device driver platform. No need to run inside the kernel for these things any more. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverk

I believe macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel does not support DisplayPort MST (Multi-Stream Transport) which is required for daisy-chaining to work.

These GPUs use an MXM connector, not M.2. I've got an HP Z2 Mini unit which also uses MXM for its GPU, and is upgradable. Due to the cooling requirements of a GPU, MXM modules are often pretty thick though, so would probably make the w

Charlie Brooker eat your heart out. This is pretty terrifying. I agree, no way I'd allow anyone to fall asleep listening to this. :D It is also pretty cool though. Reminds me a bit of Blue Jam: https://www.youtube.com/w

Alas it doesn't play in Safari 15.1 for me. Just get the first chunk of audio then silence. Plays fine in Chrome 95 and Firefox 94 though. (On macOS 12.0.1)

You'll get a solid 4-5 years use out of such a device. I did out of my 2016 MacBook Pro. Even if you depreciate at $1000k/year, that's not too bad for a professional tool. It's not worth $0 after 4 years either.

Might need to work on your heuristics for finding petrol stations a little bit. The site suggested Refuel near me in Soho, London but that’s a bar/restaurant :-) https://www.firmdalehotels.com/hotels/london/th

It's pretty much impossible to install macOS on an external drive on M1 Macs. Really sucks, I agree. The best you can do is create a separate APFS partition (not volume) to install on, but it's still dicey. I guess Apple just expe

Post Brexit the EU thing is no longer applicable, but the news recently makes me fear for anyone trying to travel here for work or leisure. EU citizens visiting family being thrown in jail and deported. We are turning into Gilead. I’d wait

No, 8K is not really reality at the moment, but editing UltraHD is reality, and being able to easily edit or composite 2/3 streams of UltraHD with some complex effects in realtime is desirable. It's a bit mind-bending for those of

Nnnnnnng, this is awesome, and annoying because it's so good. Imagine coupling it with the mouse wheel to zoom in/out. I'd love to have this in MacVim/gvim somehow.

In my limited experience podman doesn’t work very well out of the box, even on a stock CentOS 8 install.

Apple have been hiring for Kubernetes and related roles. This may well be for their own devops for Apple services. However I'd be amazed if they don't release some kind of managed service for running Swift code in the cloud. Cavea

I have noticed my M1 Mac Mini behaves a bit strangely when I have my external USB3 HDD plugged in. The mouse motion is stuttery, but unplug the drive and it is smooth as silk. There's evidently something low-level going on, probably US

Someone is working on getting OpenBSD running on Apple M1, I would imagine their work would be useful to assist porting FreeBSD too: https://twitter.com/bluerise/status/1354216838406823936

It would be perfectly possible to run the VST/AudioUnit in a separate x86 process and communicate with the host using shared memory. Thankfully the endianness is the same so data structures are compatible. Doesn't Logic Pro alread
