@dcseifert also, temperature plays a big factor. When the panel is warm the effect is a lot less noticeable.
The XDR panels and M1 Pro machines themselves run so cool that it actually makes this problem worse.
I had an interesting chat with the Blur Busters folks about this a while back: https://twitter.com/BlurBusters/status/1482468336860545025

“@mikeev @svelle1 This is what most LCDs do in a cold room (50F-60F, 10C) during winter. Warm up your LCD to at least 70-75F to speed up GtG by about 2x. If your laptop was in a bag in a freezing cold car, warm it up by leaving screen on at maximum brightness for 1-2 hours.”
@dcseifert I think it's one of those "you can't unsee it" situations. Drove me nuts on my M1 Pro MBP when I first got it, especially having been conditioned for so long by Apple's own iPhone OLED displays.
This review explains the problem well: https://www.techspot.com/review/2365-apple-macbook-pro-xdr-display/
But I totally agree that the HDR performance on XDR displays is phenomenal. I expect Apple has been waiting for OLED peak brightness to get close to XDR before switching to them for their larger format devices.
@dcseifert listening to the latest Vergecast and your analysis of OLED vs XDR miniLED LCD screens is missing one key component: pixel response time.
Apple's XDR displays have worst-in-class pixel rise time (black to white) of 40-100 ms. This exhibits in smearing, even doing simple things like scrolling through a social media feed (worse in dark mode).
OLEDs, by comparison, have a rise time of <1ms these days.
So the ultimate improvement of an OLED over XDR display is in motion clarity.
@CarstenSpille I'm not talking about the current state but rather the trajectory, as I see it anyway.
I expected the biggest proponents of Mastodon to at least stop using Twitter... and that hasn't happened (and likely never will at this point).
And this is just at the top of the list of the many problems that this platform has.
@jackmott definitely can't fault anyone for that take.
Giving up on Mastodon for now. I'm old enough to have seen multiple social networks die, and Twitter has got a long way to go.
I gave it a solid try. But I see even the most hardcore "move!" proponents are still as active as ever on Twitter. It ain't happening, folks. At least not now.

Lastpass, you had one job.
We're in this weird limbo where it seems uncertain if Mastodon is really going to take off.
Plenty of folks have started accounts, but even the most hardcore "everyone needs to move to Mastodon now!" evangelists still seem quite active on Twitter.
Not sure how a long-term mass migration is really feasible until this trend changes.
repi 🦎we've released rust-gpu v0.4 🦀🎉
https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/releases/tag/v0.4.0
new official version for the first time in quite some time for building GPU shaders in #RustLang.
a lot of upgrades, bug fixes, maturity, and now supporting raytracing shaders!
we've been using this for over a year in production now for our Creative Playground & custom Rust engine here at Embark, and hope it can be fit for more developers as we continue to build it out.
