  • When “everything is AI now” and your motion board/investors are watching nvidia nearing 1T, then they want you in the GPU business.

    And now we’re back to the public companies are terrible at innovation argument. If the line can only go up, you can’t take risks and you have to hurt people to continue at some point.







  • Scratch is an example of a simple programming language that could be taken pretty far, but it’s often dismissed as a kid’s game.

    Or even things like IFTTT, or Apple’s Automator app (formerly called just AppleScript) that gave vaguely python like tools to less/non-programmers.

    I worked on a programming tool to bring beginners from a block language like scratch up through C or Python, but we couldn’t get enough funding to finish it and google just looked at us and tried to poorly rip it off (made raising funding to compete with them even harder).

    That’s good, how is the support in apps though? I live and die by pinch zooming and quick easy accurate scrolling/panning/rotating in Fusion and most of my graphics apps.

    Side note, there are some really nice Mac only or Mac centric graphics apps that are affordable and not shitty subscriptions like the adobe suite. Pixelmator and Sketch are big for my photo retouching and UI designs.

    Designer here. This is true, but they are also have a seriously good trackpad and good energy use (finally). They work well for design, video and audio, but they are also really nice to operate. It’s a bit like driving a very nice car (which I can’t afford, but have borrowed from a client). Once you get accustomed to it, every other computer—especially laptops—feel like 1980s GM econoboxes.
