I think it's clear what Apple is doing here. The smartphone market is saturated, the tablet market is saturated, the laptop market is saturated, the desktop market is almost dead and Apple doesn't have (a lot of) users in the work

Has anyone viewed the report? It's full of elements never used on the sites I checked. While it is still in beta (like all Google products are) don't take this serious.

If you need to estimate then it's best to break work up in small parts and then estimate those. Because it's very tricky to estimate huge bulks of work. There is however a lot of work you cannot estimate. If you still need to esti

Yes, also because there is no direction of pressure in a vacuum. In the ocean pressure comes in the form of current. I guess it can be very tricky to navigate in a high pressure fast or turbulent current.

HF motion sensors are now used in a lot of lights. They are 5.8 Ghz radars that detect motion even through walls. So high frequency motion detection is already used in a wide range of applications. But I think 'seeing' should be t

But it does has an effect on nearsightedness. Since the seventies nearsightedness has become an epedemic because we are reading more and more. So it does not only apply to screen time but more general: reading time.

A ray is a vector with a starting point and a direction (a line in 3D space). Tracing means: "where does this vector intersect an object". So there is nothing special about ray tracing. But GPUs now can calculate those vectors ver

Indeed. It looks like the author is only focusing on realtime rendering. Yes, realtime rendering will save time and money but this will only be a fraction of the cost. And realtime rendering of complex scenes is still some years away.

Transparent object like glass are also a problem for path tracing. Bidirectional path tracing can improve this but it's hard to predict which rays from a light source will be visible to the camera. It's amazing we can now have pho

It totaly depends on how important you think a device is. I bought a $100 Motorola and plan to keep it until the battery isn't charging anymore. So if I can keep it for 5 years I think $20 per year is reasonable. Comparing this to the

The poor man's version of this is to place an old monitor at the back facing the wall and then clone and flip the screen. But ofcourse never as good looking as this. Those examples are great!

Curvature is ofcourse the way we could time travel. Because the light of events would end up at the same place years later. And travelig faster than light would mean we could see events that will happen in the future ;)

I never use those anymore because I discovered a lot of people don't know how to use them. They see it as slide, so what happens is that they try to slide the thing. This causes events like 'releaseOutside' so nothing happens
