Liquid Glass on an iMac G4 may be the cutest thing you see today

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-13 05:00:26

I’ve always thought that the iMac G4 was one of the most beautiful products Apple has ever made. It’s now more than two decades old, but I still think it looks as futuristic as it did on the day it launched. I’d also say that Apple’s 2025 Mac operating system looks somehow just right on this 2002 machine, as ably achieved by self-described tinkerer Colby Sheets … Sheets described his creation of the iMac G4 with an M1 chip as a passion project in celebration of the life and inspiration of Stev

news.ycombinator.com M.E. O'Neill 2025-12-13 23:38:14

The vast majority of my posts about random number generation have focused on looking at the properties of different generation schemes. But, perhaps surprisingly, the performance of your randomized algorithm may hinge not on the generation scheme you chose, but on other factors. In this post (inspired by and building on an excellent recent paper by Daniel Lemire), we'll explore a common source of overhead in random number generation that frequently outweighs PRNG engine performance.
