Apple's incentives have definitely aligned with replacing Nvidia entirely ever since they ceased diplomatic relations. But Nvidia also knows this, which is why they invest heavily in things Apple will never do. They write the official

First Apple has to prove they have competitive designs. Apple Silicon GPUs simply do not compete with the efficiency of Nvidia's GPU compute architecture: https://browser.geekbench.com/opencl-benchmarks Apple's ob

Spoilers: nothing short of a complete story rewrite could salvage what Cyberpunk 2077 ended up being. It's less of a No Mans Sky redemption story and more of a Duke Nukem Forever one.

I wholeheartedly agree. This is an area already well-served by fission, that does not benefit at all from increased complexity. Unless there are secret US Navy requirements that I'm unaware of, this seems like a profoundly wasteful van

Probably. Given the known history of Apple it's just as likely that they'd have been successful if Jobs got hit by a bus after the Apple II shipped. His legacy of irrational and unexplained digression is pretty suitably punctuated

I don't care. Anyone that trusts another business with their encryption keys has always deserved to have their privacy violently yanked out from underneath them. Whether it's Google, Apple or Microsoft, these people always knew it

Commercial security is pure theatre at the end of the day. Apple could pretend to make a big stink, release a new encrypted Time Machine or leave the UK... but why? None of that makes them money. It's a band-aid for the user freedom th

A huge amount of American aid sent to Ukraine isn't worth anything. Some of it is Vietnam-era surplus that hadn't been trashed yet. Some of it is Cold War era surplus that would have been trashed too if not donated. As an American

For a git interface with multiple open source alternatives? Yeah, this is a tax for people too stupid to figure out commit -am.

Conflating fewer native interfaces with the loss of respect software engineers have is like saying plumbers all went soft at the invention of the plunger. Native apps are a waste of time if you want to sell a successful product. It really j

Wow, it's just like gitg except it costs an arm and a leg instead of being free and open source!

In the case of Linux Mint, I can check the commit history, build the software myself and even validate it against public checksums. It is expressly defended against these types of attacks, making it an odd choice to single out.

Abandoning the UK market would hurt Apple more than it would hurt the UK. They are not a nation-state, Apple cannot wage diplomacy by threatening the government, they can only shoot their own foot off and say it was for the good of everyone

by nobankai 2y ago
The reason is that Apple was never required by UK law to offer any alternative. I think the DSA intended to challenge that, but it would do nothing for UK residents.

I can't imagine a talented employee crying to HN about how they can't compete with the ESL labor pool. What's the matter? The market feeling a little too free for your tastes?
