It's not a huge thing outside the consumer/novelty sphere. Apple missed the train on the trillion-dollar ARM datacenter rollout, and will suck those lemons for the next decade.

It'll be like that episode of The Twilight Zone with the guy's glasses when you find a CD with Crysis on it but only have a Voodoo 5 installed.

I like how someone can ignore that DeepMind invented AlphaFold, while OpenAI and Anthropic have zero experience shipping AI protein folding. This entire industry might be hopelessly tribalist, nowadays.

You're kinda describing the MoE architecture; you can offload expert layers and stream them as-needed if the experts are small enough and the SSD is fast enough. Dense LLMs typically perform better, but slow down much more than MoE mod

Pick a lane; can America walk away, or are we still leashed to the Levant? The biggest flaw with this logic is that China can recover from an oil blockade much faster than America can regenerate interceptors and munitions. The longer the

Safety means protection from liability. That's it. It makes sense that a liberal bias emerges when you're looking for answers that are from professionals and not homeopathic cranks. Especially in fields like medicine, programming,

More to your point, shouldn't we arrest anyone without a phone? It's unfair that criminals can opt-out of surveillance, while Senators and CEOs cannot.

Surveillance isn't populist. The Patriot Act, for instance, is not representative of what taxpayers want to spend money on.

It's also completely unhinged to own a Shahed 136 or a ballistic missile, but both are fairly attainable and even legal within certain usages.

My position is that anyone can own a cannon and shells, but you only get to fire it once before the feds step in. Giving a naval cannon to the average person does not threaten humanity any more than giving them a gun or an LLM does. None of

I'd imagine that you do have a problem with it. You're reliant on AR experiences, which are reliant on install bases, which the Apple Vision Pro has none of. There is currently no incentive to produce software for this dead plat

Okay, I disagree with most of Ed's takes but this is also a pretty wild refutation. National security is a canard for covering up national investment. The US doesn't need to have it's hand in the pockets of private busine

The market spoke. The overwhelming majority of people don't want to pay $4,000 for a tethered AR experience. You're the minority. Conversely; the grandparent comment is still right, Apple could have made this a real VR headset
