David Hayward discusses the enhancements to Core Image, specifically the support for RAW image files, and introduces RAW 9, which dramatically improves image quality with sharper and more defined colors. To enable RAW 9 in an app, developers can use the CIRAWFilter API and adjust properties such as exposure, noise reduction, and sharpness to unlock the full power of editing RAW images.

Biological evolution and information acquisition

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CRPn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F45398003-17d5-4e6b-9d0e-9ec0341424b1_985x445.png
Biological evolution uses a similar trick to technological evolution by leveraging modularity at the genetic level to increase the rate of useful genetic variants spreading through a population. Sexual reproduction is a key mechanism for this, allowing beneficial mutations to be shared and spread more easily, and resulting in a faster rate of fitness increase compared to asexual reproduction.
