Are you concerned about the state of AMD GPUs? They couldn't compete in terms of high end performance for a long time. But nowadays they even lose the price-performance ratio of entry->mid level GPUs.

No idea. I can only speak for myself. But in now 7 years I never connected a keyboard or mouse to my 2011 MBA. It's keyboard+Touchpad is just so good that I don't need it. Even when I connect to an external display. I'd say n

I wouldn't care about the touch bar if the esc+(sleep key) were still regular hardware keys. Those are the only ones that I actually use. But an even bigger problem for me is the price increase. The base TB version costs 200€ more (or

How advanced are those student in their studies when they take this course? Their work is probably good but I can't help but think many of the reports/posters seem underwhelming. I doubt they would be accepted at the universities

I also tried it, and it didn't work for me. I asked about the error message in the swift forum and got no response... Using the prebuilt binary for ubuntu with the WSL is WAY more userfriendly. Another problem problem is proper tooling

I agree, I just had in mind that Apple just now added/announced support for external GPUs. Besides Image+Video edditing, I though general computing tasks is a use case they had in mind. It's not like Gaming is big on MacOS.

I like both Swift and Tensorflow. But how is that going to work? As far as I understand MacOS has no official Nvidia support (=> no Cuda), which is (at least) advised if you want to use a GPU for computing. Using OpenCL instead of CUDA w

I don't think the last sentence is fair to trensorflow. Torch has been around for ~15 years compared to the 3 of TF. You'd expect TF to catch up in terms of performance in the future.

Another format is onnx [0], where Apple and Goodle don't seem to participate. I don't know the politics behind it but there should be a common format for all libraries/platforms. [0] https://onnx.ai/

I just hope for the one big presentation where they refresh iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro, and maybe some "next big thing" for desktop PCs. And for the love of god, if they do this please have some USB-A ports...

I couldn't find information about the GPU. It's wired that it's 100€ cheaper than Microsoft's Surface Book with similar specs. I'd be interested how good the quality is. It seems wired to think of Porsche Design as

I'd agree but > Judging by the (wrong) benchmark above where both C and Go seem to do some work, Go is about half as fast as C. I think this is what is most flawed in the paper. For (some) concurrent problems Go is about as fast as

I don't know the astrophysics domain at all but shouldn't there be more arguments for Go? * Safer than C * Almost as fast as C * Good concurrency support * High productivity due to simple abstractions and good tooling Is the downs

You expect people to behave a certain way when you know they won't. Then you let them get to you because you don't stand to whatever you did. You expected them to compliment you. It means you are proud of what you did. But if you

At the IBM event he said that the current concurrency model (gcd) might be replaced/extended by an actor/task based model in version 5.

Your argument is also ridiculous. The biggest difference between a PC and an iMac is the form factor. An windows all-in-one pc with the mentioned specs is probably about as expensive as the iMac (if there even exists one). It would have bee

In two years.... so not Today? Because they replaced the USB-A ports today... and not in their 2018 MBP. Besides, the old peripherals won't disappear within the next few year and most of the world can't easily switch to type-C any
