Apple almost certainly has some kind of long term or perpetual contract that assures access to ARM instruction set and perhaps some other IP, given they co-created ARM Holdings back in 1990. While A-series chips use ARM instruction set, the

Agree. Decision environments are high dimensional spaces that human judgment can tap into. Laws and rules are ways to compress that space, but the compression is lossy and can lead to a divergence between the letter of the rule and its inte

Not sure if what you're arguing against is judgment calls, or against the fallout of that supreme court ruling, but to address the use of judgment, the nature of curation is that it's not always something that can be put in a set

Yeah, impressive for the node. TSMC's latest N5 process is 173 MT/mm2, which Apple is using now and AMD (probably in N5P form) will start using next year. EUV is really a big step up.

To be fair, the world itself has changed a lot in a decade. Risks are much higher now than before, as malicious actors have become much more sophisticated, and we're running much more of our lives through software. The downside of inse

Chromebooks are definitely one way to solve it. The Apple ecosystem is also pretty fantastic for family though - iMessage, Photos, Safari etc. Personally I'd prefer family to be on iOS than MacOS, there's even less rope to hang yo

It's mind-boggling to consider what it takes to power and cool a 15 kilowatt 'chip'. That is a huge amount of electricity.

I have very similar experiences on twitter with blocked people, and have observed the effect in other communities. There are few really toxic people online, but they have a huge negative impact on discourse. This is why I think deplatformin

Definitely. It depends on the industry though, some are well represented on twitter and others are not, and hopefully journalists are good enough to understand their beat and where signal really is. Politics twitter might be an especially b

Probably the most important part of a journalist's work is building sources and chasing stories, which is largely done privately (DMs, etc) for obvious reasons. This analysis misses that. The public face of journalists on twitter is pr

Good point about how CARB standards have gone national, didn't realize that shift had occurred. CA isn't standing still though and will be requiring zero emissions trucks [1], which I'm not sure other states will be as ready

I wish we could just set a fixed monthly budget (e.g. $40/mo) and divide that among all the creators we wish to support. Then when we come across someone whose work we like, the question is simply "do I want to support this person

Agree C-level is where the most easily accessible power resides, but when banded together employees also do have lots of power and can push for things. Hence there's still value of discussion in companies around these ideas.

I can totally appreciate the desire for simplicity in work, and having a single objective number is about as simple as you can get. But there's a difference between simplicity in jobs like flipping burgers vs finance, and that's p

Yep, entirely different risk profile. Netflix already had a brand, platform, and customers, and they already offered TV shows and weren't experimenting with a new format. The House of Cards risk was all in execution, not brand, concept

Thanks, I enjoyed our exchange. Your concerns resonate with many people here because there's real truth in them. People in companies like Facebook and Twitter debate and disagree all the time about features and their effects, and that
