Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Apple Ternus-over - DTNS Live 5124
Q: What do you think about the way Apple handed the leadership over to John Ternus?
The panelists discuss it as a well-planned succession, likening it to Reed Hastings' staged transition, with Tim Cook remaining as executive chairman and Ternus taking the reins, suggesting stability and continuity rather than a crisis-driven change.

Q: How will ray tracing evolve with path tracing and frame generation?
Ray tracing will be complemented by path tracing and neural-net-based upscaling and frame generation, enabling high-quality visuals without demanding prohibitively expensive hardware, thus broadening access to advanced rendering.
Ray Tracing Tired, Path Tracing Wired - DTNS Live 5118
Q: What is Project Helix and why does it matter for cross-platform play?
