> Force sensor with volume swipe arrives on AirPods 5, a first for the open-ear form factor, adding the ability to quickly adjust volume by swiping up or down on the stem.

Pure apple marketing juice this one.

I've imagined a chip running as slow as python.

The thing you know you must do probably is an internal thing, but can also be an external thing. It's hard to navigate this, but no one cares if it's hard.

It makes no difference if the pot do actually exist, because the prospect of it being real make not getting it the end of your company.

How does that work, actually?

People started dismissing allocation discipline as a thing from the past because "that thing was solved a lot ago and the compiler now is smart enough".

Well, for string, yes, but not for arbitrary objects.

Disgraceful.

On the technological side, it's a marvel!

C++ or go? Then you'll have to take a very closer look, because the java JIT is wonderful. A masterpiece of several hands, actually.

I managed to improve some applications of ours from several garbage collections per second to several minutes between collections. That _really_ improves p99.

Of course we can trust that wouldn't name the same thing with different levels of intelligence, right? Right?

One example is Java, which will happily vectorize your code into AVX or SSE where possible.

Python just got a JIT compiler and we’ll start seeing the same thing soon.

But as someone else said here, some constructs don’t translate well and adding transformations to show vectorization would negate the perfomance gains.

Sad that the compiler (even Java) can’t explain you this and warn about it, but now with LLM, maybe they’ll start doing things like that soon.

I mean, we learn that a enroll is normally a flow. Flows have steps. So if you came to the end of the flow and the finish button is gray, you think.

Hum… I'm used to flows. This is a multistep flow. Flows normally need me to fulfill some small checks and won't let me proceed between steps if something is missing. But some won't. Maybe this is one of those? Some flows have warnings in the end, some have next to the thing missing. I don't see any warn in the last screen, so I'll go back every step and check field by field for errors. That'll probably do.

This is the model you have in your mind, of how a website or an app works.

People that came to computers, apps and websites later in life didn't learned the puzzles.
