To my understanding the M1 and M2 have very functional GPU drivers. I don't know about the other specifics you asked

Asahi on previous M-series chips supports the GPU, they just don't support it on M3 yet (they have to reverse-engineer the GPU to write the driver) More info: https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/blog/asahi-gpu-part-n.html

The entire administration has been operating on empty threats (see Brendan Carr's FCC speech policing). But most companies don't call them out on it, they just roll over

One thing people have pointed out is that well-specified (even if huge and tedious) projects are an ideal fit for AI, because the loop can be fully closed and it can test and verify the artifact by itself with certainty. Someone was saying

std::simd is so nice and easy to use, even as someone who's never done SIMD before. I wonder why it's stuck as nightly-only

I had something similar happen after sleeping a few times with my first-gen airpods pro. I think something must have gotten filled with earwax or something, because the noise cancelling got more and more broken and had more sudden sharp sou

Super cool! I assume it plays nice with rust-analyzer?

I've heard that VSCode gets some special treatment and integrations with the typescript server that go deeper than normal LSP

I had the same experience and the same outcome. Zed was super fast for editing but slow for rich features, which on the net slowed me down compared with VSCode

I feel like Dropbox has never figured out how to expand beyond folder sync. Which, it's still a fantastic folder-sync client and I'm a very happy customer of that product. But I mostly just have to swat away all the other things t

When Samsung came out with its ultra-thin phone earlier this year, reviewers said you can't really tell from pictures but it really does feel different in-hand, and is substantially lighter. This one is slightly thinner than Samsung&#x

I like Rust's approach, where common "errors" (eg unexpected responses from other systems) have to be handled, while true unrecoverable errors don't affect the signature

I got this confused with the Bear note-taking app for a minute ( https://bear.app/ ), since it's in a closely adjacent domain and even has similar value statements. Unfortunate naming collision

It's still remarkable because so many people with that amount of money are still on the grind, still chasing the siren's call, still feeling miserable because it's not enough, still feeling tiny because they compare themselve

Scaling aside, "without thinking" vs "with thinking" will never not be funny to me

Yeah. I think I've only ever found one situation where offloading work to a worker saved more time than was lost through serializing/deserializing. Doing heavy work often means working with a huge set of data- which means the cost

I find the "killer app" right now is anything where you need to integrate information you don't already have in your brain. A new language or framework, a third-party API, etc. Something straightforward but foreign, and wel

I also just prefer CC's UX. I've tried to make myself use Copilot and Roo and I just couldn't. The extra mental overhead and UI context-switching took me out of the flow. And tab completion has never felt valuable to me. But

You're spot-on that excel managed to break through because it's one of the few kinds of rigidness that was both legible and familiar enough to the average person. But very little else is, because the average person doesn't th

Amazing that there's no mention of AI in this post. People have been trying and failing to blur this line since the beginning of computing, and the only real success story has been excel. And it's because rigid computing systems h

I wonder if the software developer mindset plays into this. We're really good at over-reporting all possibly-relevant information for "debugging" purposes

It's not about being flummoxed, it's about being annoyed enough not to give it a chance How much less adoption would Rust have gotten if it looked like OCaml instead of C++? Its adopters are not stupid, they could have figured out
