Similarly, trying to parse C++ isn't too interesting when you're writing your first backend.

That’s true for any car, regardless whether the new car is an EV or not.

He's right about assembly vs inline assembly (gcc asm). But something well done like Intel Intrinsics [1] specializes an intrinsic for target platforms. It's (a lot) more work on the intrinsic writer's part but then provides

This objection should have been raised for the original sale. However, the owners then made bank on that sale and those owners also presumably had better political leverage then. Read that as Brits sell crown jewels for coin to foreigners.

No, the Mac Mini available on AWS does NOT have an M1. It has an Intel Core i7. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/

That’s the Mini. That’s not the M1.

Grace, in contrast, is a much safer project for NVIDIA; they’re merely licensing Arm cores rather than building their own ... NVIDIA is buying ARM.

I haven't seen anything to indicate that was the case, by all accounts they did seem to generally be near break-even on at least a large number of their leases. That story was also in the New Yorker. https://www.newyorker.
