The answer to "why are Apple's chips the best in the world" is that they have exclusive access to the latest and greatest assembly lines at TSMC, the best semiconductor foundry in the world. AMD and Nvidia have great CPUs and GPUs because they have secondary access to those lines after Apple.
I don't want to say that Apple has no expertise at building chips and it's all TSMC, but that's the core reason why Lol. And goddamn is TSMC important fr

I don't think you can self-host feedbin but I think it's worth the $5/month

I understood the basic plot, but I feel like there is More To Understand.
The key to understanding Spirited Away is that it's meant as a way to pass along values to specifically Japanese kids in 2001, but it's doing so in an open ended dreamy way. It's a lecture from your granddad that spins off wildly. I don't think there's really that much there, it just boils down to "work hard, there's no shortcuts, don't be greedy" but it's kind of fascinating anyway.
I'm not as big on Miyazaki as I am on the rest of the great Japanese animators, he's so focused on achieving a certain standard of quality that there's a lack of risk in the projects he takes on and they kind of turn out blah. He's definitely a great entertainer tho and there's some undeniable masterpieces. I love Porco Rosso and was pleasantly surprised that The Boy and The Heron rules

these days dubs are almost always good
I would argue against this, just because there's so many speed dubs that come out as fast as possible, like weeks after the shows air. They can be pretty bad depending on the show! But yeah most movies have great dubs.

Reply to works of studio Fullbright by devtesla
You don't have to look up what Toilet Spiders is. If you're unaware of the story, Gaynor got kicked out of his own studio during the development of what was going to be Fullbright's next game because he's an asshole, sued to retain the Fullbright name, and now is releasing $5 early access horror games as a solo dev.

Reply to comment by twovests in I think it's funny that Apple's M-series chips are so good by twovests
Looks like they've basically bought up the latest processes since 2014. Note that these "3nm" processes they're talking about are just marketing terms at this point, but the lower the nm process the better it is, generally.
Also apple not paying for defective chips is crazy. Part of the reason that cpus come in a billion different models is binning, the best ones are in the most expensive parts and the ones with defective cores turned off make it into the cheaper ones. Apple I guess doesn't deal with that at all.
