Lucas Beyer (bl16) vik After achieving CUDA enlightenment, it seems crazy that we have been treating memory hierarchies (on CPUs) as black boxes all these years. It also feels like we don‘t have the right abstractions / language, yet, to losslessly (!) express/address different programming models/mem

Agreed. We're hard at work on this problem.

"You as a developer can no longer develop an app and share it with your friends and community, without seeking Google's approval first."

Vatsal I’m not blaming the devs, I understand. It’s a wildly complex API. I’ve had a weird view watching both press & devs interact with it and the social impact of that relationship vs Apple, and also what it looks like from the inside. Their users are receiving a subpar experience

Liquid Glass is a design cancer. It consumes and overwhelms everything it touches by adding intense distortions, drop shadows, lighting effects, and unnatural spacing to controls and UI in ways that make them harder to see and understand. It is pretty, and seductive, but it

Stefanos 1) Alan Dye was not Apple’s head of design. Mark is trying to spin this a certain way to make it as big of a loss for Apple as possible. 2) Mark is also trying to do PR damage control because he doesn’t like how his initial framing of the news is opposite to what consensus went

After more than 11 years, today is my last day at Apple. It’s been a privilege to be able to say I’ve worked my dream job, helping create SwiftUI and getting to support an incredible team of engineers and friends. I’m excited for what’s next for me (stay tuned!), but today I’m

When working on enabling MTE, Apple used an arm64->arm64 version of Rosetta that emulated MTE on existing hardware. The XNU sources talk about it now

If I hit this dictation button after sending a text and it beeps and stops my music one more time, I’m gonna find everyone at apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold Even if I turn off dictation I somehow hit the voice note thing The send button should not have multiple
