The APIs are mostly cross-platform now, and the SoCs are the same, so the main reason you wouldn't want to just copy a Mac app to the iPad is the touch input. If eye tracking is as good as they say, that's a lot closer to a mouse

Each rocket needs 33 for the booster and 6 for the ship, so thats still about 5 weeks for one, or 10 rockets per year. Will need a lot during development since reusability probably won't work 100% of the time for a while. then their st

SLS can get about 27 tons to the moon, Falcon Heavy about 20 tons. Sure, redesigning the plans to handle splitting between two launches is time and money, but two falcon heavies is only ~$300M base price. SLS is a waste even without starshi

maybe they have a good relationship with their boss and communicate in ways that work for them and match the world we live in? does your boss still communicate with you in formal memos?

it's your language, do whatever you want. unless you're forcing others to use that language, there's zero moral issue. obviously you could come up with a number of what-ifs where this becomes some monopoly or the de facto sta

one workaround for this is to turn off "Automatically join this network" for your office wifi and disconnect from it, but don't turn off Wifi entirely. That way it can still make direct wifi connections to your other apple de

Adding the obligatory "what if M1" comment. Anandtech tested power draw of an M1 Mac Mini and found 4.2W at idle, 26.5W for the average multithreaded workload. 1/3rd idle power and the same power draw while running multithrea

jesus christ, yes. Elon didn't become a billionaire including assets until 2012, well after nasa awarded them the cargo contract and two years after Falcon 9 started launching. Before that, he was barely a millionaire after PayPal and

performance cores are physically larger than the efficiency ones, by about 3-4x. I'm sure there are other tradeoffs cache size like too. So would you rather have 32 performance cores and 8 efficiency or 34 performance?

Ignoring the "0.9" satellites, this says 694 out of 713 launched so far are good. Is 97% success bad?

Didn't go too deep into it, but the AMD cpus being compared are different. Anandtech has an AWS-only EPYC 7571 (2 socket, 32 cores each, 2.5ghz), Phoronix has EPYC 7742 (1 socket, 64 cores, 2.2ghz). On top of that, Anandtech is using a

Unless your commute is >50 miles one-way, there's no need to charge at work unless its incredibly convenient. I use a standard wall plug to charge my Model 3 at home and still I'm back to full in under 12 hours after work. If y

Every time a page loads, there's a positive quote from one of his readers. This is part 4 of his 11 part series on Telsa. His About page is literally more cliches than not. Is this a parody? Serious question.

genuinely curious, like what? I think they're even more competitive up to speeds under 60. Are you saying quarter mile is just as important? Or that acceleration itself isn't everything in "performance"?

That was the explanation Elon gave via twitter: "Pana cell lines at Giga are only at ~24GWh/yr & have been a constraint on Model 3 output since July [...] Tesla won’t spend money on more capacity until existing lines get close

why would they? they have never faced any real consequences for doing this and it's insanely profitable.

This seems like a big deal. Assuming it could collect more than it needs to keep itself in orbit, it could refuel a tank and skip from atmospheric body to atmospheric body. Something like this could make it to Neptune and back, though it mi

As the owner of a mac with an amd gpu, I'm very excited to see support coming soon. Been wanting to get into ml but been pretty discouraged with all of the popular libraries being cuda-only.

Was about to reply with a snarky link to the windows version of Safari but it looks like they've stopped development! Great point. Super interesting that building WebKit for windows from source is still supported though: https:/&

I'm on a iMac 2017 with a 3.8ghz i5, so yeah it might due to the newer hardware. Interesting that Firefox still scores roughly the same as Safari and Chrome on your machine too. I don't understand why they'd make this big fus

Running Safari 11 on High Sierra and got a 90 on the speedometer 2.0 test referenced. Why are they bragging about a 66? For reference, ran the test with Firefox Quantum on the same machine and got a 68.
