To show what a chud DHH is, I spent 5 minutes looking at this and figured out he is using gnutar on Linux and bsdtar on macOS. The difference is bsdtar gets put into the background priority class. Just changing that cut the time by 50%, to under 6 seconds. I'm sure there's more

Carlos will never stop showboating instead of just playing winning tennis.

Confused why this is in the release notes. Are they doing DualSense firmware updates on macOS or do we still need to find a pc/ps5?

An expert gives his view on one of the DigitalFoundry presenters. Not everyone can have such domain expertise as the person who failed to comprehend a difference in settings.

Oh wow. That's interesting. It's true that "Screen Space Reflections Quality" is set to "Pycho" rather than "Ultra" on macOS. On PC it's correctly set to "Ultra". Yields a difference of 35%! @lafaiel @jordanstonenz settings are 1080p Ultra with no upscaling or fg.

Reddit went from happy about CP2077 on Mac to real upset it’s not faster than a 5090 real quick!

Lol also no upscaling used on the PCs. Something is weird with RT on macOS with CP2077.

Ok they don’t use RT for M1 and M2. Weird presentation of data.

These figures from Tom’s guide are weird. They have the M2 Pro as over twice as fast as the M4 Pro for CP2077 Ray Tracing Ultra. They compare PC and Mac at different resolutions. tomsguide.com/gaming/we-benc…

I loved taking a look inside the world of Cyberpunk 2077 when I stopped by the @CDPROJEKTRED studio in Warsaw. Now it’s your turn—Cyberpunk is available on the Mac App Store starting today! The sharp visuals and smooth performance make Night City feel so real.

MLX, Apple’s machine learning framework, just merged a CUDA Backend. Matmul, tensor copy ops, and other core CUDA primitives are now part of Apple’s official build. There’s a lot of hype + confusion. Here’s what it is, and…isn’t.

So Apple game Digital Foundry Mac hardware for game comparison/testing. Very nice. I hope this is a sign of further engagement with the community. youtu.be/ze_ILcqvF8A?t=…
