Are they doing any kind of translation, too, or just pure emulation? Because if they aren't, then Windows will continue to run significantly slower on the already significantly lower-performance third-party Arm chips compared to how macOS runs on the M1.

My prediction is 50%-60% of the performance of M1 on the latest/highest-end Qualcomm laptop chip.

Step 1: Send your CIA agents to steal it.

Step 2: Make it look like common thieves did it.

Step 3: Profit?

Newer devices (only Pixel 3 and newer, and Galaxy Note 20 and newer) also come with hardware security modules called Strongboxes (like Apple's Security Enclave).

Isn't that the very definition of a fishing expedition?

"Let's find all the people that committed X crime in this database."

It's insane with how much of this unconstitutional stuff the U.S. government has gotten away with, all because Congress has suffered from systemic corruption for decades and no longer cares about the little guy, in the sense that it's no longer that dependent on the "little guy" to keep their jobs (as Larry Lessig would put it).

If they can get donations from rich corporations or friends, it's fine by them to screw over the little guy, because that's mostly all they need to keep their jobs.

I remember when Google made a whole big deal about their "AI Ethics Board" (or something along those lines), and then not even a year later they reshuffled it because those people were too critical of the company's practices.

And then when there was backlash they "promised to do better" and Sundar Pichai came out with some "principles" that the company would follow for AI.

Another 1-2 years later and here we are again - this just proves that whatever "AI Ethics Board" they might set-up, it will end up being a sham, because they'd never allow that board to stop them from using AI however they like if it's in the interest of the company's profit growth.

If we want real AI oversight we need to demand it from outside nonprofits or even government agencies (why not both?!) - and there should be zero affiliation between the company being monitored and those organizations/agencies.

This applies to coaching in general. Don't take coaching advice from someone that is less accomplished than you. He should be as least as accomplished as where you'd like to be in 5-10 years, etc.

They couldn't resist not integrating the "full windows" into wp7/8. One platform to rule...nothing.

It's never just one thing. It's a bunch of things that have been kept dormant for a couple of years with the price not moving too much. Price will explode again due to built-up hype and FOMO, and then a year later it will be in free fall again and all the "smart people" will claim it will go to zero and be worthless....just like the last 20 times it did that. And on and on we go.

Trucks do...wait for it...1,400x more damage to roads than standard passenger vehicles do.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is mainly because Apple does mostly translation, while Windows on Arm is pure emulation.

This combined with the fact that Arm-based Windows PCs have mostly used mobile chips not optimized for the desktop use-case and form factor, is why the new Arm-based Macbooks leave any Arm-based Windows PCs in the dust in terms of performance.

It seems that Apple kept its eyes on the goal of beating Intel, while underestimating AMD (like just about everyone else).

Still, now Apple has the #2 fastest CPU on the market and with different ISA. Intel....#3. Oh, how the mighty has fallen.

At least AMD won't get to rest on its laurels now, as Apple will definitely try to surpass Zen 4, too, now, or at least Zen 5.

And Mozilla has lost a lot of users since then. Coincide? I think not.

As in they buy them out. There should be a more laws preventing this from happening for large corporations.

We now see that Google Search is turning more and more to AI. Perhaps if Google didn't buy DeepMind, but some other smaller competitor did, they could've turned that into an advantage against Google.

Either way, it was a loss for the market for DeepMind to be bought by Google instead of forcing Google to come-up with its internal competitor.

Companies with billions in profit should be "incentivized" to use that money to create their own competitors against threats - not buy them all out (often just to kill them). I think we can all argue that large companies buying out small competitors is a net negative for the economy at large.

They expect users to pay twice for their GPUs - once for the integrated one and once for the dedicated one.

They are probably attempting this because for a long time OEMs would include both Intel's iGPU (not like they had a choice) but also an Nvidia GPU, even if it had the same or lower performance than the iGPU, just so Intel doesn't fully monopolize their devices.

Then again, by this logic not sure why any OEM would pay twice for Intel GPUs, either.

Anyone want to take bets that Google would eventually try to deprecate whatever API peertube needs because of some plausibly true "security reason" in the next few years?

I've been suggesting that fines should be proportional to the type of data they request and how much.

So the more you collect, the more you stand to lose in a data breach. That should do 2 things:

1) Encourage companies to do "least data collection" (a good thing)

2) Strengthen their security if they do any sort of non-trivial data collection

The "move fast and break things" is deeply ingrained in the company culture. It's probably in their engineers' training manuals, too.

They want to "get things done quickly" and inevitably break code elsewhere on the platform. The guy in the article is right - there's no other platform around where these sort of issues appear so often.

I don't get it. Didn't we already know about the 5nm A14, which seems to add just slight CPU improvement over the A12?

> Keep in mind, it isn't easy to suddenly and accidentally get thrown in jail.

Have you not paid attention to any protest in the US whatsoever in the past 10-15 years? It's VERY easy to get thrown in jail, even when judges have ruled mere months before that it's illegal for police to keep arresting protesters.

> But a recently unsealed court document found that investigators can request such data in reverse order by asking Google to disclose everyone who searched a keyword rather than for information on a known suspect.

"Just let us scour through the data to see who committed a crime."

How is this not a fishing expedition? Does the 4th amendment not mean anything anymore in the US? Are judges still this clueless about such obfuscated requests from the police?

The VW emissions scandal and them being forced to switch to EVs in the US as part of the settlement/punishment (which by the way was also a suggestion Elon Musk made before it happened), is probably what will save VW in the long-term.

It really started a fire underneath them that they couldn't just ignore, as most other carmakers, including VW continued to have the ingrained thinking that EVs are just a "fad" or a "niche market" that they need to address "somehow", but mostly not put a lot of effort into it.

Tesla Model 3 having 400,000 pre-orders in week 1 probably freaked out most carmakers, too, though. I'm glad VW, as well as other carmakers have realized by now that EVs are the future of the vast majority of road vehicles, and there is nothing stopping it.

Didn't Obama sign an executive order days before he left office, expanding raw Upstream data access to 17 agencies, in total, including IRS?

No, Twitter is (so good news!).

Then the Autopilot should never be a thing people can enable at will. It should be something automatic like automatic-braking in case of imminent accident. And in such scenarios it should be MUCH louder than just beeping about while you doze off after 20h of not getting enough sleep.

And if it happens say 3 times in a short amount of time, it should just ull you over.

Exactly, and Intel has been all about peak/short-burst performance over the past 5-6 generations, if not longer, just so it can keep winning benchmarks.

Now that led them to a new microarchitecture that will likely suck on servers and laptops, due to the high power usage, and might not even win on the desktop compared to Zen 4 CPUs (Alder Lake will mostly compete with Zen 4, not Zen 3).

I thought that would be more because of the Linux bloat + security risk. I don't think it makes much sense to use Linux in the embedded space, but something that is 100x smaller.

I certainly wouldn't want self-driving car systems to be powered by Linux...

> It was more expensive, though

Exactly Intel's problem with these things. They are always too expensive compared to the competition. It's the #1 reason they failed in mobile, too. Their similar performance Atom chips cost 2x more than the highest-end Arm chip.

I tried really hard to make FF my main browser. I really did. But I was disappointed by their "hybrid" approach to memory use, and I think that continues to make the difference between FF and Chromium-based browsers (to FF's detriment).

And now they switched back to shared memory again, and the moment they did, the browser started hanging again, like it used to do pre-Quantum days.

Chromium's "per process memory isolation" is the right approach, despite all the cries about memory use. I'd rather have that than have the browser hang on me, or have more security issues.

If anything, I think even the future of operating systems is complete process isolation and separation by virtualization tech and encrypting each process in RAM with a different key. The hardware is coming, but it may take another 10-15 years for this to be fully realized.

Or maybe they shouldn't have let Brendan Eich go in the first place, who seems to be doing quite well with Brave right now.

Maybe a good CEO isn't defined just by the salary he or she receives?

Actually yours does. The numbers are raised by billionaires as opposed to the median numbers.
