When AMD won the race to 1 GHz, the GHz race slowed and Intel and AMD began focusing more on multi-core. Some chips continued to push the boundaries up to several GHz, some quite higher with specialty cooling. But multi-core was the far better strategy.
All you have to do to moot 100% of that massive adversarial effort is to decide (ahead of time) to not be a POS and keep your dick behind your zipper. Not deciding that and sticking to it makes you a garbage husband and a dangerous and unreliable CEO.
We got a 500 gal propane tank. Get it topped off every so often, can power two large portables and one built in generator for longer than we've ever needed, even close to it.
You can buy the batteries installed at your home, charged during the day with solar or night with a small ICE generator. That plus a real same-class truck still costs considerably less than a CT.
Blame the lowest guy on the totem pole and not his garbage leadership with a terrible approach to securing the company's vaults. Wow. This industry eats its own or throws them under the bus -- anything but criticize its terrible leaders. What a shitshow.
The lesson Cook too from that was "don't let it happen" and that's why Apple gave Vision Pro game devs the middle finger saying there would be no precision controllers and then charging $3500-$4500 so that it couldn't possibly be confused with Quest and its gaming focus. Apple wanted Excel and Zoom, not Beat Saber. It got neither, selling less well than Nintendo's 1995 Virtual Boy (no shit.)
It took Cook ~7 years to get Vision Pro out the door. Refreshes? A year or two is usually fine. Entirely new products, not so much. This home stuff has been cooking for about a decade and you can bet HomeView was there in the beginning.
Foldables are somewhere between 10 and 15 percent of Samsung flagship sales. It's foolish to underestimate them because Silicon Valley was all using slabs. The rest of the world isn't so prudish and after sleeping around some many settled on foldables and have been using them for many generations. Moving 10-15% of your high-end sales into an ultra-high-end is a huge win.
Nonsense. Nearly every software house in the world has just as many or nearly as many programmers as they did 7 years ago when GPT-2 was "too dangerous to release." You live in a very tiny bubble if you think most businesses are building software without humans. Total horse shit.
Too dangerous to release was 2019. Today it's only very useful for coding and other niche industries. It promised to automate all work and to usher in a utopia. Instead it helps programmers further enshittify Big Tech offerings. That's well short of any promise or expectation set out by boosters, paid and otherwise, for the last 7-ish years. Where's the civilization upending change? Where's the Beef(tm)?
If AI helps with the mundane side of real work, great, but outside of mundane-only work, there generally isn't a conveyor belt of random mundane work backfilling the real work's now-fixed-by-AI mundane bits. Any mundane work that's gone unaddressed for long is unaddressed because management doesn't think it'll benefit the business, and if it didn't benefit the business yesterday, clearing out some unrelated mundane work doesn't automatically increase the priority of that unhelpful-to-the-business backlog of mundane work.
Seven years ago (*!!SEVEN!!*) GPT was too dangerous to release and yet everything that AI has touched since then is WORSE now than it was then. "Three months" is entirely nonsense. Seven years. Seven. S. E. V. E. N. Y. E. A. R. S.
If you moved the goal posts any farther, they'd have traveled around the world and would be sitting at your back right now.
If I were to count the number of times you all have said "incredible improvements" here on this site over the last 7 years, what number do you think I'd come up with, and would that change your tune? I'll do it, if I must, to show you all how un-serious is this claim.
That assumes they give a fuck about the commons, which they clearly do not. Why do you hold these people up as if they were like us, decent and well motivated, when they're clearly misanthropic pieces of shit in it for themselves alone.
People that trusted them deserve the bad taste. Don't expect them to lift a finger toward open source, they won't and expectations that there was even a chance is another over-extension of entirely unearned trust.
To Meta workers -- and I've known many of you, right up to the c-suite.
If you still work there, you're a garbage human being. It's that simple. You are a POS that deserves no harbor or shelter from any right-thinking tech worker.
(All here have noticed how you no longer highlight your workplace. Apparently shame is useful for something, if not enough.)
Products and services that work and that people want and need are societally useful. You've moved the goal posts from "useful" to "world saving" and used that to discount the original description. That's seems odd to me.
