Last time I tried matrix (~2022) they still didn't have voice channels--they had voice calls but not a mechanism where people can join/leave a particular voice chat at will. To me this is a must have feature for anyone who has used discord/mumble/ventrilo.

I was actually playing with voice rooms the other day. One can create a standing call room that people can join or leave as they see fit, without having to set up a new call each time. Discord currently has more integrations with streaming and voicechat rooms, but they had a bit of a head start, and even Element (let alone Commet & Cinny) are catching up

Element has had voice/video channels since late 2022 (though back then they only worked by enabling settings > labs > video rooms beta).

I agree with you. The good news is that it looks like some of the alternate clients are focusing on it. https://commet.chat/ has voice channels (video rooms but default to camera off), and cinny's element call support PR defaults to camera off in video rooms as well iirc.

Jensen is an OSU alum--it would be nice if this reached him.

I dont think apple silicon supports SMT? Isn't that enough evidence to show at least for mobile parts 4P4E at least has a chance to be interesting? Also some of the graphs appear to show the new Skymont uarch has high perf/w than raptor cove (the previous P core) which is rather impressive in my opinion.

well the interest is high already https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum/issues/19
