CarPlay’s evolution has in several ways been a disappointment since the “next generation” of CarPlay was first previewed in 2022. But all of a sudden, in the span of a mere month, CarPlay’s future looks brighter than it has in years—in part because of a redefinition of what that future will be. The next generation of CarPlay is no longer just CarPlay Ultra CarPlay’s previously announced “next generation” seemed like it would never arrive. But now, it’s finally here—with a twist.

Summary: Hamburger menus are a more familiar pattern today than 10 years ago, but the same old best practices for hidden navigation still apply. Few icons in digital design have sparked as much debate over the last decade as the hamburger.

In fact, the first mainstream graphical browser, NCSA Mosaic, didn’t initially support inline JPEG files—just inline GIFs, along with a couple of other formats forgotten to history.

CDNA 4 is AMD’s latest compute oriented GPU architecture, and represents a modest update over CDNA 3.

Those operations are important for machine learning workloads, which can often maintain acceptable accuracy with very low precision types. At the same time, CDNA 4 seeks to maintain AMD’s lead in more widely applicable vector operations. To do so, CDNA 4 largely uses the same system
