If you do bet on the phone, make sure you only bet on the first-party OEM. API depreciation, exclusive entitlements, user restrictions, payment-processing or flat-out Sherlocking are all realistic and credible threats to your business. As

> FERRET is trained on 8 A100 GPUs with 80GB memory. Huh, even Apple isn't capable of escaping the CUDA trap. Funny to see them go from moral enemies with Nvidia to partially-dependent on them...

It doesn't matter because Apple would not offer OpenAI actual integration terms, period. Their only option is to create an alternative hardware platform, because Apple fights tooth-and-nail to pick and choose what software iPhone users

Unified memory doesn't stop you from implementing PCI, Apple did it on the Mac Pro.

Nobody is going to cheer for Apple if they just want to kill Nvidia to take their spot. I see this sentiment written so often that I almost wish Apple would just let Mac users have Nvidia GPUs again, because clearly the demand is enormous.

In practice, I have never once seen this work. Arguably Canonical and Red Hat are the two best examples of CLG/OSS business models, and both of them have uneasy relationships with the greater Open Source community. Canonical is seen an

Especially considering how power-hungry it is to mill/finish the phone chassis, plus the cost of cutting-edge lithography and low-yield wastage.

Wayland is still customizable, and x11 isn't going away. If you want to trade in security and maintenance for features and capabilities, nobody will try to stop you. In that sense, distributions still don't hold much power over th

It's a microcosm of Linux. x11 had wildly non-conformant desktops since forever, having a larger spec doesn't inherently fix things or force desktops to abide by the rules. Projects like GNOME would have dropped AppIndicator and s

On NixOS/KDE/Wayland with my 3070 ti, my gaming experience is admittedly excellent. Disabling V-Sync ingame, I get the same latency I did on x11, same performance, with much better frame pacing and VRR support. Strictly comparing

You can't pretend that Apple doesn't set themselves up for the criticism. They're the largest company globally, completely control all major facets of their devices and struggle to admit to adamant and obvious design failure

Frankly, I think that's more of a Linux problem than a Wine one. You're right that Linux is overall worse at power management than OSX or Windows, but Wine itself is extremely light on any OS it supports. On a resource-constrain
