You are being downvoted, but people surely realize this is 100% true , right? Not only is it 100% true, it is inevitably going to be the outcome. Google will not have to divest Chrome. Sundar just has to pay the $5M to have dinner at Mara

This is way beyond the point of diminishing returns. There are some edge situations that people will cite, but for the vast, vast majority of users, none of the cellular data improvements over the past half decade have made an iota of diffe

I am extremely dubious of your concept of ideological neutrality. Further, that you want all current scientists and health administrators "wiped out" because you disagree with a tiny number of statements or situations pins you as

Their argument seems to be that the current administration is playing checkers with tennis rackets on trampolines. Nothing makes sense or actually serves any goals, and are just random child-like stomping and smashing. In this case someone

>The ANE and tensor cores are not comparable though They're both built to do the most common computation in AI (both training and inference), which is multiply and accumulate of matrices - A * B + C. The ANE is far more limited beca

Tensor / neural cores are very easy to benchmark and give a precise number because they do a single well-defined thing at a large scale. So GPU numbers are less common and much more use-specific. However the M2 Ultra GPU is estimated,

by llm_nerd 2y ago
Using the NPU numbers grossly overstates the AI performance of the Apple Silicon hardware, so they're actually giving Apple the benefit of the doubt. Most AI training and inference (including generative AI) is bound by large scale ma

I do think people are going a little overboard with all the commentary about AI in this discussion, and you rightly cite some of the empirical reasons. People are trying to rationalize convincing themselves to buy one of these, but they&#x2

I was simply replying to the "if you're undecided consider this scenario" take. As with many conversations, the situations are often more complex and nuanced than the example case, and as with many initiatives, good intention

>This is barbaric Any country without universal healthcare is barbaric. Absolutely perverse that you try to pin this on "socialized healthcare" when you herald a nation with a lifespan a half decade shorter, and worse outcomes

by llm_nerd 2y ago
"If you're undecided about this" As with many things, it's a very slippery slope and it is far more nuanced and not easily "decided". MAiD for someone in the final stages of a terminal illness is a far cry from

The base model is $599 in the US, or $799 in Canada. Which is odd as Apple usually screws Canada and has worse-than-exchange prices in Canada, and in this case it's actually better than exchange prices. In contrast is the release of

I think they are pointing out that the current admin is doing the "sharpie on the hurricane path", or the "if you don't test for it you don't have cases" sort of approach. But like those two ridiculous events,

Without drones I can still get Amazon packages delivered same day. And I don't see how drones would improve delivery speed regardless as they're at best last mile so you have all of the logistics to get to the drone location. It s

Actually look at the data. That is a bullshit , erroneous summary by some lazy clown. The Americas in totality account for 42.3% of Apple sales. I mean...this is all so silly regardless. Even if the US accounted for 100% of sales in the

No, I don't. The Americas in totality account for 42.3% of Apple's revenue. But of course "The Americas", despite the confusion of many Americans, is not only the USA, so while that is already a minority, South Ameri

A strong majority of Apple's revenue comes from outside the US. If Apple is tied to US protectionism, it is precisely the sort of org that suffers. Now to be real, Apple has been announcing these multiple hundred billion dollar investm

For decades, the technology center of the universe has been Silicon Valley. No matter where you lived -- Canada, the UK, Germany, India -- if you wanted to be serious, you moved to the US. And if you had a company, being acquired by a Silic

Nitpicking? They are in a role of "auditor". The most important requirement of an auditor -- a mandatory requirement -- is accuracy and correctness. It isn't nitpicking to point out that they are either intentionally lying,

So Apple is non-compliant, given that all they did is disable ADP in the UK. Right?

That was Apple's interpretation : That to comply with what the UK requested they would have to have the same thing everywhere. But of course that is nonsense, and Apple could theoretically have a nation-specific backdoor (e.g. for ac

It isn't really a precedent. Companies, even high-rolling American tech companies, have to abide by the laws and regulations of the countries that they operate in. I guess there is a question of whether this is a legal demand that they
