I used to be a huge fan of these guys, going as far as buying their extremely expensive $800 device as gifts for a few friends, but now I advise anybody and everybody against ever giving them money Two separate reasons. One: they design har

I expect this to replicate trivially. You would too if you had interacted with anybody who started using LLMs more and more recently. You can literally watch the IQs drop like a rock. People who used to be lively debaters now need to ask G

I guess that’s the new excuse. Except it doesn’t work. I can off-line all the efficiency cores on my M1 laptop and still run circles around the new x86 stuff in performance per watt.

There is one positive to all of this. Finally, we can stop listening to people who keep saying that Apple Silicon is ahead of everyone else because they have access to better process. There are now chips on better processes than M1 that sti

Why is this a surprise? Who do you expect to design and make chips for national security-level programs in the future wars when Taiwan is a deep crater? Every serious nation state has an arch design house and a fab. It need not be cutting e
