Really interesting, thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for a terrific and informative response! > About half the early server team had used FreeBSD at Yahoo, and zero had any experience with Erlang. Can you say anything more about the choice of Erlang and experience with it? It seems

You're comparing five years of Intel performance increases vs one year for the Intel to M1 change. And you still haven't explained where you get 'less than 35%' increase from.

If you’ve done (1707 - 1113) / 1707 to get to a just under 35% increase for the Air then thats the wrong calculation.

> My claim is that the first Apple Silicon MBP was only an incremental increase in performance from the last Intel MBP. Do you have anything to support this claim because all the benchmarks I’ve seen say something quite different.

It’s obviously bad business (for Twitter given the cost / benefit) and show’s Elon’s lack of empathy but also demonstrates the perils of having a user like him run the show. He literally couldn’t care about anything that doesn’t affect

My personal experience is that the lack of things to fiddle with (themes etc), the pleasant writing interface plus the knowledge that I have the privilege of sending something into inboxes have made me much more disciplined than I ever was

These are all valid points. Fundamentally there is a conflict between a subscription model and a one off purchase of something like a book. I’ve had a bit of a think about how this might work on my own Substack (I have an idea for a book bu

Likewise re buying but from a bit later. You’re absolutely right that PCW was more focused on products. They did sometimes have a go at some of the more conceptual stuff though and I remember learning Z80 assembly from the regular column on

You’re right in that TSMC / Samsung were for many years behind the state of the art, and by extension so was the technology that Apple was using. Apple’s CPUs defined the state of the art for mobile though. And now of course TSMC &#x2F

Does anyone know of a similar archive for Personal Computer World which was (sort of) the UK equivalent to Byte? The Internet Archive has a quite a few but is also missing a lot too.

Thanks! Interesting to have this confirmed. I had a think about how this might be used in practice. Probably not huge wins but every byte counted in those days!

You do know that this is a just a capture of the free part of the post? (ie most of it) Readers should at least visit the original site if they want to read the free part.

Another great post from Ken - thanks again for all your work. Looking at the transistor / vacancy counts for microcode it struck me just how this reduces the count of those used for logic in the rest of the CPU - down to less than 12,0

Not so. And even if it were so the statement he is making is still false - I’m absolutely certain not everyone who has investment expectations expects 100 x returns in 2-3 years. It’s a very sloppy tweet.

I almost wrote that he's hyping his own views on hype but that might be a little unfair.

By saying 'in AI' the use of 'everyone' implies everyone in AI. My point still stands.

by klelatti 4y ago
The first tweet says ‘the current climate in AI’ and ‘everyone’. But actually it’s just social bubbles especially in VCs. It’s not a response or a clarification it’s a change to the meaning of his headline.

I know that - I read the thread - and I respect Chollet and the fact that he knows an awful lot more about AI than I do. I personally don't think though that the comparison to Web3 is helpful even with the clarification deep in the thr
