Direkt im Vergleich: Auf Bild 2 links ein M1 iPad Pro, rechts das M4. Auf Bild 3 oben das M4 unten das M1.
Echt nötig, dass das nochmal dünner geworden ist. 😉 Ersteindruck aber schon mal: Es rennt. Und das M1 kam mir schon nicht langsam vor. #apple#ipadpro#m4
"Apple's senior VP John Ternus reveals that Apple has added a new protective "cowling" over main logic board...not only helps with heat dissipation, but also "effectively creates a central rib that runs through the whole thing and tremendously improves the stiffness"
Calling it! Between the SDK, Xcode, Geekbench flag detection & more, Apple has officially brought the first Arm Scalable Matrix Extension enabled device to market in the new #M4. With that also comes the move from NEON/ASIMD to the Streaming Scalable Vector Extensions #SME#SSVE
I mean it’s cool that #Apple has been pushing forward with their processor line, and while the #M4 sounds cool, at this point I might as well wait for the M5, because we all know the M5 is the ultimate computer. #IYKYK
Regarding the #xz backdoor Jonathan Corbet from https://lwn.net/ thinks that #autoconf is part of the problem: "Why are we still using ancient build systems that almost nobody understands?"
So do I. I have not been using #sendmail for decades which used to have the same #m4 bullshit.
I'm old enough to have begun using #unix before #linux, and in the first years, I used *nix (well, SunOS, Solaris, and Digital OSF/1, to say more precisely) for so long. I'm what nowadays is considered a Veteran Unix Admin or #vua. I'm still curious enough to stay updated about current tech, but I wonder how many people out there in the #fediverse are still passionate about tech novelties but even cultivate legacy knowledge such as #C, #Perl, #Tcl, #autoconf and #automake, #m4 and above all why?
The disadvantage of using ' and for (quasi)quotation in most varieties of #lisp is that it forcloses the ability to createarbitrary nestings of strings''' in a sensible way like #m4
