I think the biggest announcement was the private compute cloud with Apple Silicon. Apple is building up internal expertise to go after Nvidia.

The problem was standardized hiring is it become too easy to game the process. You end up with a pool of engineers good at studying and it doesn’t always translate to good engineering.

In the video jobs mentioned he wanted to sell 50,000 units in 1992. The actual numbers were 20,000 units in 1992 and 50,000 in 1993. This just reminded me of Tesla ramp up. Musk was right about volume but too optimistic on timing.

What are the best alternatives besides cloud keychains. Coming from sharing same password for multiple accounts, cloud keychain has been step up for me security wise. I'm honestly curious what are the better alternatives.

If you have ever worked with children you will realize vast majority of them lack the willpower to learn new things and seek out answers. A good teacher can provide the social accountability and guide them, but it's not something you c

Still waiting on KaZaA open source. Kids these days don't know what it's like trying to download a music video and end up watching someone getting beheaded.

This is very on-brand with how Google does branding. "are you confused yet? no? try this other vaguely similar name."

No it does not "make up things" using generative AI. Current GS implementations assume camera poses are static. This paper assigns a linear motion trajectory to camera during training.

Different lenses are needed for different jobs. That's why most production shops just rent the lenses they need for the shoot.

People are obsessing over the lens but really hard part about video production is the workflow. Timecode, track syncing, color grading, AI, storage. Apple is solving it piece by piece I can see iOS based workflow becoming norm in not distan

In my 20's I thought startup was a quick way to make a million bucks. I had a list of ideas. Copied and spun others' ideas. Some of them made money but none was wildly successful. Now I'm older and money is less of an issue,

I often dread when I see an employer using in-house systems for common tasks like project tracking and code review. I'm curious how does JS's internal tools stack up against systems out there, like Github or Jira.

I believe this is just a product of US corporate tax laws and high interest rate but I would like to hear other takes on it. Corporations don't want to bring overseas profit home and be double taxed, so they borrow domestically using o

Have we reached peak image sensor size. Would it still make sense to shoot in fullframe when you can just upscale.
