This is a software supply chain issue, but it likely doesn't interest Intel Mac users who are still using x86 homebrew and who can't empathize with the experience of the upstream d…

I just checked your profile and it seems like you're a command line software developer for Linux. I'm not sure why you're telling a Mac developer what Mac developers do and don't n…

No. This isn't fixed by open source. Open source projects also do binary releases (see brew cask), and those need to be universal as well. Someone needs to build those universal bi…

I disagree. Apple would spend the time to make universal binaries work (unlike homebrew, who has stated they won't support them). Not installing universal binaries has some bad imp…

A GPU's compute core, to my limited understanding, is sort of like a CPU with a lot of threads that execute the same instruction at the same time (aka SIMT). It has a decode fronte…

Most machine learning is using _NVIDIA_ GPUs, which themselves have a neural engine (tensor cores) for the last two generations. An NVIDIA A100 has around 19 Teraflops but 156 "ten…

Both x86 and arm clang can output for the other architecture, or universal. Pass `-arch arm64` not `-march` You can also `clang -arch x86_64 -arch arm64` to build for both at once.…

The benchmark program itself is obviously broken on ARM, as Rosetta is jitting ARM behind the scenes, so you could write a program + compiler that emitted the same ARM as Rosetta. …

This article has a mistake. I actually ran the benchmark, and it doesn't return a valid result on arm64 at all. The posted numbers match mine if I run it under Rosetta. Perhaps the…

Ad providers already silently notice context and provide relevant ads (manipulating the eventual result of your page load). Isn't that just as creepy? (especially when it happens i…

Who's going to pay for web advertising anymore if just anybody can install a browser extension able to block ads? We should boycott Firefox. What kind of world is this where I can'…
