Seems like this idea could scale very well with more LEDs of lower wattage, like a local dimming array in TVs. That way 1. heat would be more evenly distributed reducing the need for large heatsinks 2. smaller fresnel lenses could be positi

Spotify is slow to implement features their customers want (see: Watch, HomePod, TV, Siri), which is not in their customers best interest. Other smaller services like Pandora seem to be able to do this [1], leading one to reasonably conclud

Exactly. Its a charade that's not in the best interest of customers of their service in order to get regulatory leverage on the 30% cut. I think people confuse the means (not support functionality that their customers want) with the en

Even if Apple didn't have a competitive offering to Spotify, it'd be a terrible idea to adopt a third party's standard/SDK that impacted such a core part of the ecosystem and UX as controlling and handing off audio. The

In my case each subsequent paragraph, heading, or object is it's own grid row, which act like table rows where margins cannot collapse. Thus things like headings having a certain whitespace above them aren't possible without margi

This is a variant of the "if I don't do it, someone else will (and things will be the same)" hypothesis, which... you might want to question.

Agree that Pet Sounds was very influential especially in music production, and has some great tracks. To my ears though it sounds incredibly dated, like a time capsule of sappy 60s teenage pop or music you'd hear on a TV show from the

Have you listened to Sgt Pepper recently? Certainly great in its time and groundbreaking, but musically it's not aged that well and its songs are not particularly relevant. I say this has a huge Beatles fan who can sing just about ever

I've been a huge Beatles fan since my early 20s, I can recognize and sing almost every song, but somewhere in the last 5 years the relevance of their music just fell off a cliff and I never listen anymore. Some of it is probably life s

A 300mm2 chip would have about 50B transistors, 4x an A14 and 1.8x a Geforce GA102 (RTX 3090 chip). Don't think anyone would sell that for $100 in 2020.

A13 is 98.5mm2 & 8.5BTr, so ~86MTr/mm2 density, a bit lower than what chart estimates [1] (95MTr/mm2 for 7nm). A14 might be a significantly smaller chip since its 11.8BTr / 171MTr/mm2 (chart estimate) = ~69mm2 size [

~650MTr per $ at super low power level, not bad. TSMC's N5 process density is ~171MTr/mm2 and the area of a 300mm wafer is 70,685mm2. Shave off maybe 5,000mm2 for edges and you're at 65,000*171,000,000 = 11 trillion transisto

Good journalism (and any information sharing) is about delivering meaning, not just facts. Facts divorced of context tend to lack meaning to all but those that fully understand their context, because they're prone to misunderstanding.
