Jobs has been dead for a long time. And it shows. He had bad ideas too but was much better at holding the line on good UI (unless the bad idea was his). We haven’t had that in a long time.

Ah, thanks. So instruction loads also count as data loads?

So in this specific case, if I understood correctly, here’s what should happen: Interrupt(?) fires to trigger hypervisor, hypervisor figures out what it needs to do, jumps to that code, does its job, returns. The “figured out what it needs

And it’s not. They’re working on it, I just saw a post about it today. But Intel and AMD post documents to explain how to use their hardware. Apple doesn’t. So it’s not an equivalent effort by any stretch.

They publish documentation because they need OEMs to be willing to support their products. Apple doesn’t. Apple consumes it, so Apple always has a customer.

I would be really interested in a much, much longer timescale version of the graph. Like 50 to 100 years.

Island hoppers? Very few highways between the Hawaiian islands. Or Caribbean. Probably plenty of other places. There are tons of places in the world with short haul flights today, even if good highways exist. Every one of those planes is a

But maybe they’re aiming at short haul cargo. And either way, wouldn’t that really be one of the last things to do? Just proving the plane can even get in the air and stay there for a useful distance on electricity is more important than ho

It may be too hard to do a good retrofit. If you basically have to tear the entire plane apart and rebuild and recertify it to put batteries in the right places, maybe the costs aren’t worth it for potential customers. I know many planes us

Did you notice the part where Daniel said they had fixed it two months before the first report?

Reading the messages in the original bug report reminded me of LLMs. But I don’t know if it was. Because it ALSO reminded me of dealing with people who will just keep bringing up the same point as if you’re an idiot while completely ignorin

I’ve seen people (and even doctors) advocate doing that for fighting medical rejections too. If the insurance company wants to dump tons of paperwork and demand responses to nonsense, why not send them large piles of nonsense that they have

So they built a very specific operation into the RAM. This RAM would only be useful for AI, otherwise the transistors are just wasted. And if we fund a different set of operations actually work better for AI you can’t adjust to that eithe

I know that’s how it works. How could they possibly estimate that in this specific case.

What would that even be in a case like this?

Seems like once they got past that things weren’t too bad. Could have been way more incompatibilities waiting on the other side.

Amazing progress as usual. It’s been fun watching just how much a few people can accomplish over the last few years despite working on sometimes unstable sand.

This is why I generally try to avoid it and just call it “Eastern“ or “Eastern US“ if talking with someone who might not be in the US. Which is annoying.
