#382Asahi and Alyssa are the titans of reverse engineering. Their work is pretty unbelievable. I would bet Apple is planning to hire them, or has tried already and they refused.
I bet Apple already tried and they refused due to NDA and non compete clauses, that or HR didn't validate their profile.
I hope she avoids working for someone else. Why does she need to have her inspiration crushed by the pettiness of corporate life?

> 1. Apple conforms to the existing standards of OpenGL and Vulkan we see gaining steam for many film and game production pipelines. Read what gamedevs have to say about this, Metal is more appreciated than Vulkan > 2. Apple tries to throw its weight around and force devs to support their Metal standards even more, ultimately hoping to force the world onto Metal + macOS. Apple was part of the Vulkan working group, kn…
Vulkan is way better than Metal. Metal is simpler to learn. That is about it.
Can someone give concrete examples, why?
Let’s exclude the learning.

#386I really wish nerds would stop supporting Apple hardware and software. It is so closed and everything is a giant pain. Its one thing for the average non-techie that does not want to do anything advanced and just wants to swallow the blue pill. But for an actual techie to support a system that is the antithesis of general purpose compute...Can you even be considered a true techie anymore? I just don't get it.
> everything is a giant pain
Have you ever used a Windows machine?

Usually the reason is always the same: money. That is why people work in corporates.

I still don't understand why people think in 2023 that Android can not be a viable alternative to an iPhone. I would never use an iPhone for certain software and UX related issues (biggest is the missing back gesture/button). My Pixel does better photos than ANY iPhone on the market. Macbook Air M1, just look at Dell XPS series. Samsung S9 tablets have an OLED display. OLED... you don't get that on any iPad. Apple Wa…
> Macbook Air M1, just look at Dell XPS series. If you want an unusable trackpad, a middling keyboard, a fan that spins up and down at random when the laptop is just sitting there, a space heater for your backpack when you close the laptop and stow it away, and a pathetic battery life, then, yes, a Dell laptop is just what you need. I'll admit, I have a more expensive Dell Precision laptop, so maybe the XPS is actual…
I had a personal XPS 13 back in 2015 or 2016 that I loved. Right now for work I have a Precision 5560 from 2021 which has all the drawbacks you listed and that I hate. I don't know if it's a year thing or a model thing, but certainly there is no brand consistency when it comes to Dell.

> Apple doesn't like any standards it doesn't control with an iron fist You mean like SCSI, FireWire, USB-A, USB-C, USB 3.x, Bluetooth, Qi charging, H264, AAC?
Just because they used them doesn't mean they like using them, just that they don't have the sway to move people to something of their own. FireWire was developed by Apple and some other companies, as a competitor to USB, and lost out to USB. Apple had their own video container and codec formats in quicktime, and those also lost out to others. They definitely prefer to roll their own, they just don't always succeed i…
QuickTime lost? MP4 basically is QuickTime.

#390"Of course, Asahi Lina and I are two individuals with minimal funding. It’s a little awkward that we beat the big corporation…" Love the euphemism. This puts Apple to shame, plain and simple. They obviously don't care about standards, or compliance, because they like people to be walled in their own little private garden (still waiting for the facetime standard, or any kind of cross-platform technology created in the…
Yep. Just switched to PC for Davinci Resolve renders/exports and built a threadripper 64 core with 128G of RAM, 16 TB of SSD, dual RTX 4090 GPUs and dual thunderbolt 4 ports with awesome cooling for $15K. Something worse from Apple would cost you three times that and be less serviceable.
I’m curious how that is possible, considering that a fully maximal configuration of a Mac Pro (which including pre-installed FCP and Logic) costs less than $13k.
