40-core GPU version of M3 Max dropping GPU benchmarks comparable to RTX 4080!

I’ll be expecting an upcoming Mac Mini with M3 Ultra with 80 core GPU that’ll make nVidia shit themselves.

@dgar Unlikely, since Nvidia is largely focused on cloud and embedded AI and rendering - and apple doesn't even dogfood their own systems as servers.

Longplay_Games,
@Longplay_Games@mstdn.games avatar

@dgar Maybe, but as much of a fan of ARM as I may be, apple has never been able to scale beyond personal.

If we're lucky, AMD and apple will eventually collaborate and drive nvtel straight out to the bin.

@dgar But do recall that the IBM/Motorola PPC chips were some of the best silicon on the planet, literally a baby version of the stuff IBM used in minis and mainframes and apple dumped it in favor of Intel to save a buck.

To celebrate Google’s request at the EU to force Apple to open iMessage, today we celebrate the career promotions for every PM and VP at Google that gave us this bouquet of innovation:

@radicalbyte @Migueldeicaza I agree, xmpp would be a good starting point imo.

@radicalbyte @XenonNSMB I had wondered about the json/XML thing. I was in a bubble doing XML/XSLT stuff for ages when suddenly everything became json seemingly over night and I was like πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I will say that it's faster to write but it's so much harder to write a parser for without the metadata.

@governa Can't they just use AI to filter them? I thought chatgpt was supposed to replace all forms of skilled labor.

I believe that Youtube's warnings about adblockers are the beginning of the end for Youtube as a citizen of the Open Web, and the latest volley in the fight that will end with the death of youtube-dl, invidious, etc.

This road leads to DRM powered by EME, and that would be the fulfillment of the promise made by EME when it was launched.

@ajroach42 That's a price point I'll jump into, though I'll have to see how the discoverability and UI stacks up.

@ajroach42 Only on the viewer side.

As a viewer, the experience for a stream was good, though trying to browse instances to find stuff to see was a nightmare

@ajroach42 I like it, but the font is pretty hard to read on some of the backgrounds. Nice trailer though!

    @quincypeck @ryanhoulihan Oh good. I was wondering, since I'm used to being able to change every single tiny aspect to customize from launcher to default app to theme

    Longplay_Games,
    @Longplay_Games@mstdn.games avatar

    @quincypeck @ryanhoulihan you have to hack it to change the theme?

    I find it disturbing how many job openings there are right now for really obsolete tech + electric polygraph requirements.

    Did a whole bunch of old security people just die?

    Sorry, but I'm not being strapped to a chair just to manage your websphere infrastructure.

    I'd ask "is there a way to stop the new mastodon from autoexpanding images, from putting every single favorite in my notification with the entire web preview expanded, and to get favorite notifications without it showing the whole thing to me every time"

    But the answer is pretty obviously no.

    This version is a huge step backwards in user experience.

    @Brett_E_Carlock I have not - those are instead of going to my instance's site directly?

    I'm confused - where's "local" on the new Mastodon?
    That's where I spend the majority of my time.

    Longplay_Games,
    @Longplay_Games@mstdn.games avatar

    Oh, I see, it's the one with a globe that says "live feeds"

    That's... utterly ridiculous.

    The unity complaints are annoying to wade through, but are also literally why we pivoted off Epic's UE 2 years into development.

    When a company moves the goalposts on your livelihood, you realize you're in their power.

    That gives you a really simple choice.

    We made ours, now the unity folks get to make theirs.

    Testing out the extremely inexpensive ($30) music player I purchased for someone with the help of the Fedi.

    So far, it's actually quite reasonably decent. It's not going to win any awards, but it's not DOA or garbage so far.

    Hope the can help with this:
    Looking for a music player for a very specific edge case.

    • Bluetooth
    • MicroSD
    • 8-9 hours battery
    • Smaller than a mobile phone (or a phone would be used instead)

    Been looking all over the internet and everything in this niche seems to either be very poorly reviewed or super sketchy.

    It's for someone in a demanding/harsh job that precludes just using a mobile for music/audiobooks.
