Interesting. The 11.2 beta release notes don't say anything about that (they really don't say anything at all). The relevant changes also don't seem to be present on amd64. I'm not going to buy a Mac which can only run macOS, but the M1 Macs are in…

The wild part is eliminating Section 230 would ultimately just consolidate power into the hands of already-rich media companies. All the conclusions you can reach via Section 230 can also be reached via the First Amendment, but it will take vastly m…

50k processors per month on a bleeding-edge fab tech might be enough for the Mac Pro. Definitely not enough for anything more mainstream. As an aside, TSMC uses wafers 300mm in diameter in most of its fab processes. That's 70,685mm^2. The A14 is 88…

As I've said a few times, foveated rendering is going to be critical for mass-market adoption of head-mounted displays. It dramatically lowers the processing requirements. Today's headsets provide roughly the equivalent of 20/200 vision, and only a…
