This is Apple we are talking about. The last 20 years have been tricks.

This move is very Nintendo-like. Gimmick then don't even attempt to compete with the big dogs.
The fanboys have their meat to chew on "it's not hot". And they will repeat it on command as Apple falls behind to a swath of competition. "It might be slow, but at least it doesn't warm my lap."
The hardest programs to run will not benefit here.
I don't need chrome to open up 0.1s faster.
"Fastest chip" uhh well no..
"Fast for this one thing", yeah it's 0.1s faster opening that program no one ever said was slow.
"It has good battery life"
So this is the new narrative? Are nerds constantly fighting back against Apple marketing and they are adapting?
Usually their marketing team just insists over and over. Maybe because this is actually measurable (unlike privacy and security) their legal team is holding the marketing team back.
I'm careful about that.
Would that be a deal breaker even at a dream job, yes.
They couldn't move it to my main because it was legacy, but that was where I had youtube premium/red whatever. So then I needed to switch between accounts. Not fun while you are driving.
Oh then they stopped premium so I started hearing ads. Not what I want when I'm trying to calm my screaming kid in the car. Oh, and I need to keep my phone screen on.
Many of the songs aren't the same as on Google play.
Google seems to be moving toward search/email/YouTube. With few other products. Probably good, they can't handle it.
Maybe not Apple because their fanatics will apologize for any wrong doing.
Now only Google can hear my every word via cellphone and Nest.
And look how incompetent Google is. I don't even get creepy suggestions on ads since I deleted facebook.
They ended Music, and bait and switch their photo policy.
Traumatic events for me. I've left both services, won't get another pixel, and attempted to switch to Firefox.
Formal Peer review is good, but not necessary in science. Replication is necessary.
And as a note, we can still have Authority based healthcare, but a science based healthcare system would be cheaper and more reliable.
Coding may be a good use of this as someone noted that gpt3 can often give creative answers more often than objective answers.
There currently is no objective solution to problems after abstraction. "Good enough" is somewhat the motto in programming.
On the contrary, if you ask it to design a bridge(or new invention), it would need to combine both specifications with somewhat complicated physics and geometry. Unlike in Programming, 'Good enough' is not ok, it needs to be perfect.
Would be a fantastic tool if every profession could skip the time consuming process of writing and debugging code.
It's mind boggling to Engineers to hear this, but Medicine is older than the scientific method and physicians used Regulatory capture to prevent competition.
I'd love a science based healthcare alternative.
Lucky children can't vote, lets start vaccinations!
I somewhat kid, but COVID is a real life example where a tiny minority has ruled over the overwhelming majority.
I go a bit crazy when I can spend 20 dollars and be absurd with quantity. My cousins love getting 20 hershey bars or a variety.
Although none of those are recent like daily security flaws we see on HN.
I wonder if the daily HN article about Apple failing to be secure is a result of 1 OS, 1 phone. Where as no one is going to put the effort to find an exploit on a phone with 1% market share.
Similar question for desktops.
He actually buys the containers at the grocery store.
Time to see if he likes it.
Edit- we don't exchange gifts and we both have plenty of money. Half joke gift, half useful.
It's also blazing fast. These modern computers are incredible. Not sure why I'd ever upgrade.
How about getting VMs set up with port forwarding?
Also what a time to switch to Mac, the constant Apple news didn't scare you? Do you watch a lot of TV?
When do you 'need it'?
Everything blends together now. I do so much command line work in various languages learning and googling is just the job.
Heck despite me using Ubuntu server for 13 years and mysql for 7 years, I look up syntax and examples.
Even as a Lifelong need, nothing on computers can be intuitive, Everything must be learned.
I own 2 windows 10 laptops, I only had to click the button 2 times in my life.
It's like windows realized hardware companies were going to do this and wanted to make it easy to defeat them.
