I think you mean EOTF (electro-optical transfer function)? Or am I just unfamiliar with EOTS?

That would require some JS. Wouldn’t be hard to do, but I don’t think it would be feasible within a pure CSS framework.

I wonder if Levoy will head over to Apple. It’s crazy that the Pixel team has lost the person in charge of the one undeniably good part of the device.

You might be interested in the upcoming game, Teardown[0]. The voxels are definitely larger than pixels, but much smaller than in Minecraft. It definitely exploits the voxel geometry for really impressive physics (as well as optimized ray t

No one other than Apple and Intel themselves has used 28W chips anytime recently. I doubt there would more 28W machines even if they weren’t formally exclusive.

It appears you’re misinterpreting the headline. Apple has an exclusive on the 28W SKUs of Ice Lake chips, not on Ice Lake chips as a whole. 4 port 13” MBPs use these. Many other OEMs use the 15W SKUs.

Any smartphone with an OLED or high end LCD is physically capable of displaying more than sRGB. That’s a pretty decent number of devices. Android is awful for color management though, if the OEM even implements it.

This looks great. Definitely feels like something that should have existed for a while. Hopefully this will encourage some “tab collectors” to convert their groups to bookmark folders. I use Safari on my Mac, but its behind in tab managemen

They are probably asking why WASM (probably in .wat format) is not an option alongside x86/x86-64, ARM, AArch64, and RISC-V.

As it currently stands, 15 out of 24 comments in this thread are about the phrasing in the title. It has demonstrably become a distraction, at least in this post.

Wow, really cool that there are high schools teaching compilers.

I’ve dropped my 2018 MacBook Pro 13 at least 3 times, twice with the lid open, from a height of more than a meter (though onto a vinyl floor). It developed only a hardly noticeable dent.

I’d expect them to hand more precise control back to the user as the pointer slows down.

I don’t know how I misinterpreted your comment that badly. Sorry, I promise I’m usually able to read.

Fuchsia maybe? It’s already broken POSIX, and its entire stack is built with modern tech in mind.

Wow, this is way better with women’s faces. Facial hair in particular seems to trip it up.

nearly all of them have already taken place.

> Carmakers can't stop their cars from being used to run people down The technology definitely exists to limit this, and many car companies already offer such safety features.

Zen 2 is much more economical in its core area. Lighting cores likely have around 2x the transistors. Also, and I’m not sure how big of a deal this is, but Zen 2 is the 2nd gen of a practically new arch. Lighting has a lineage of at least 6

It’s a very rough estimation. Basically ((core + L2 area)/(total die area))(Total transistors on die). For A13 with unified L2, I used L2 per core. Of course, transistor density isn’t consistent across the chip, but this should be good

Each A13 Lightning core has around 2.5x the transistors of a Skylake core. The Skylake design is also 5 years old and on a node at least a generation out of date. Geekbench is also a short enough test that thermals aren’t a huge concern.

by skavi 7y ago
the A12X/Z iPad variant already has 4 big cores. I wonder what interconnect they use and whether it could be stretched further than that.

by skavi 7y ago
The 16” MacBook Pro definitely has enough headroom to sustain the top turbo speed for at least most of a Geekbench run. Its not a very large benchmark.
745.
by skavi 7y ago
Apple is at least a node ahead and isn’t using a 5 year old µarch. Also, Geekbench is a relatively small test and is not be testing the systems to their fullest extent in terms of thermal capacity or memory depth.

I think MediaTek has put an encoder into their newer chips. Qualcomm still hasn’t though.

is it just me, or did MacOS get uglier with each release?

Android phones aren’t supported long enough for their OEMs to have to deal with widespread battery degradation.

Qualcomm uses off-the-shelf Arm Cortex-A series cores. Arm has promised between 15-25% CAGR for next generation high end cores [0]. The A13 has ~35% better fp perf and ~50% better int perf than the Qualcomm’s latest flagship, the Snapdragon

The lighting is actually quite beautiful as you zoom in.
