Are they doing any kind of translation, too, or just pure emulation? Because if they aren't, then Windows will continue to run significantly slower on the already significantly lower-performance third-party Arm chips compared to how ma

I remember when Google made a whole big deal about their "AI Ethics Board" (or something along those lines), and then not even a year later they reshuffled it because those people were too critical of the company's practices.

This applies to coaching in general. Don't take coaching advice from someone that is less accomplished than you. He should be as least as accomplished as where you'd like to be in 5-10 years, etc.

It's never just one thing. It's a bunch of things that have been kept dormant for a couple of years with the price not moving too much. Price will explode again due to built-up hype and FOMO, and then a year later it will be in fr

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is mainly because Apple does mostly translation, while Windows on Arm is pure emulation. This combined with the fact that Arm-based Windows PCs have mostly used mobile chips not optimiz

It seems that Apple kept its eyes on the goal of beating Intel, while underestimating AMD (like just about everyone else). Still, now Apple has the #2 fastest CPU on the market and with different ISA. Intel....#3. Oh, how the mighty has fal

They expect users to pay twice for their GPUs - once for the integrated one and once for the dedicated one. They are probably attempting this because for a long time OEMs would include both Intel's iGPU (not like they had a choice) but

Anyone want to take bets that Google would eventually try to deprecate whatever API peertube needs because of some plausibly true "security reason" in the next few years?

I've been suggesting that fines should be proportional to the type of data they request and how much. So the more you collect, the more you stand to lose in a data breach. That should do 2 things: 1) Encourage companies to do "lea

The VW emissions scandal and them being forced to switch to EVs in the US as part of the settlement/punishment (which by the way was also a suggestion Elon Musk made before it happened), is probably what will save VW in the long-term.

Exactly, and Intel has been all about peak/short-burst performance over the past 5-6 generations, if not longer, just so it can keep winning benchmarks. Now that led them to a new microarchitecture that will likely suck on servers and

I thought that would be more because of the Linux bloat + security risk. I don't think it makes much sense to use Linux in the embedded space, but something that is 100x smaller. I certainly wouldn't want self-driving car systems
