Thank you to Meta for providing the controller asset!

A Beat Saber special edition would definitely have one blue controller and one red controller, to match the default saber colors for each hand.

This is a logical and useful idea, and unfortunately I haven't seen any evidence that that's what it's doing. Of course they could have solved that confusion by simply showing a message on the dash saying "lane warning" in addition to the attention-getting vibration.

There is no accompanying on-screen display. No hints what these posterior pings represent. Just driving down the road and suddenly two long shakes of the whole rump, followed by a quick shimmy on the left side.
Sorry, car. I don't speak butt.

In all seriousness, though, it was good! Didn't realize Gerard Butler reprised his role as Stoick. Missed Craig Ferguson's Gobber.

2nd gen pros look nice, but not different enough to make me want to upgrade from 1st gen. Haven't tried them personally.

I've been using the 1st gen pixel buds pro for a about 3 years now. I've really liked them, with my primary complaint being that they've gotten more temperamental about charging as they've gotten older. (Sometimes I put them in the case but they still think they're in my ear. Cleaning can help).

Yeah, Safari is tied to the OS. Tech previews are as good as you can do without going full beta, unfortunately.

Yeah, that's what kills me! Boggles my minds that one API has such a stranglehold on the space when there's lots of environments perfectly capable of doing the fancy matrix math.
In any case, I don't have a compelling reason to spend more time on it. Just wanted to see the state of things.

I should mention I'm trying all this on Windows, which is apparently a fools errand (even though, again, the NVIDIA stuff works fine there.) It IS nice to see that AMD appears to be a lot more open-source friendly.

For image gen I tried a few different stable diffusion UIs (Automatic, sdnext, one more that I forget the name of) and none of them managed to produce a single pixel. Spent a lot of time trying to set up zluda without any success. Even when I apparently had everything installed it just hung.

For text generation I tried KoboldCPP, which I heard was good about AMD support. It had a Vulkan backend, which ran 5-10x slower than my 2-gen-old NVIDIA card did last time I tried it. There's a fork of that project that supposedly supports AMD better, but my card is apparently *too new* for it. 🤔

Even the cheapest Pixel phones (9A) have 120Hz displays these days!

Which doesn't really matter to me? I don't use these things outside of occasional tests to satisfy professional curiosity. But it's kind of crazy to realize that a good chunk of NVIDIAs market cap is likely due to some researchers picking up CUDA a while back and everyone else just rolling with it.

To make it work, I've written a new JavaScript wrapper for xatlas called "watlas". It's available now on npm!

I'm sure it wasn't intended, but this photo pair really is giving Stalin photoshop vibes, huh?

Oh, good point! I did have an iMac for a while (2005-ish?) which had an AMD GPU in it. Forgot about that.
Any laptops I've had have been provided by my work and I don't use them for things like gaming.
So I guess what I meant was "I have never bought a discrete AMD GPU before now."

I happened to be on my laptop working on something when pre-orders went live, figured I'd give it a try. The sites were falling over at the time but I only had to try for a few minutes to get the order through.
I've heard people were having decent luck getting them in the wild.

Worth noting that even though the guy helping me was 100% on team 16GB he almost accidentally picked an 8GB card to bring up front. I only caught it because the price was too low.
Having two different SKUs with the same name is definitely gonna result in some unfortunate accidental purchases. 🙄

16GB, naturally! I was upgrading from a 3060 (12GB) so I definitely wasn't about to go backwards.

Hat tip to @willsmith.fun for alerting me to their opening in the latest podcast episode. 🙏

On the flip side I had one package that swore up and down it would be get to me in 5 days and now it's suddenly like "Surprise, it's tomorrow!" Which is nice, but... how do you even hope to code around that kind of variability?

Store page says "Your shipment will DEFINITELY be there today!" to which I reply "It hasn't left Kentucky, so... no." 4 hours later they're like "Oops! There was a tiny whoopsie and your shipment slipped a teensy tiny bit from tonight to... a week from now."

Until presented with evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume he stole the car and is going on a joyride before ditching it in a lake.
