Not my area of expertise but what exactly is the difference between RISC-V and Power PC? Didn't Power-PC get a good run in the 90s and 2000s? Just wondering why there's renewed interest in RISC-like architectures when industry alr

What is the best way to archive a JS heavy site like this? I reviewed OPs github and they haven't open-sourced these visualizations probably because they are tied to his employer.

If the A18 Pro has the same ISA as the M-series chips then this may not be so straightforward. I am still hanging on to my 2020 Intel MBP for dear life because it is the only Apple device I own that allows me to run Ubuntu and Windows 11 on

I would place the beginning of the computer vision hype at 2012 or so when the AlexNet paper came out. Also an aside, it is mind boggling to me how pre-2021 ML is now ancient history.
