@atpfm@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social is he going to build his own network rack of Mac minis to play Destiny on?

@tiffanycli@mastodon.social the one thought that I came to mind is that he (or at least his wife) runs a science/health funding org/foundation, and they are likely well aware of dopamine, addition medicine, and the reward pathways in the brain...

@dschaub@mstdn.social @atpfm@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social But coincidentally, the company is better positioned to weather the AI revolution than most in that they have the most important part - the hardware w/ unified memory model and best perf/watt in the industry. The only thing they need (and admittedly it is a big IF) is to develop Metal/MLX into a library that beats CUDA at it's own game, and evangelize it to game and AI developers.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange I am worried they may try to control this at the isp level though…hard to run things on the internet w/o cloudflare

@whophd@ioc.exchange @atpfm@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social I keep seeing ads for new Anker units…have people overseas have any experiences with these? Not sure if they're long term powerwall-class replacements but sure seems to be approaching them in capability

@Janne_O@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social i feel like irregardless of whether the sound is actually better, some shit like this is part of the whole "experience" of being an audiophile

@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social I think Apple's AI strategy should really be: don't make their own model but make a software strategy that can beat cuda and leverage apple silicon memory model to beat NVidia (i.e. have OpenAI lining up to buy mac minis)

@atpfm@mastodon.social re TSMC processes - I think now that there's maybe diverging needs from datacenter chips vs. mobile, Apple may also be looking at not paying for things like backside power delivery or other somesuch things they don't need.

@daringfireball@mastodon.social something is profoundly off when the gent who wrote that "seminal essay" now also is a raving right wing lunatic with questionable grounding in reality

@marcoarment@mastodon.social @_Davidsmith@mastodon.social he would crush that Hideo Kojima walking game

@rowdy26@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social I suspect Cook's plan is to absorb all the blowback from Trump-handling. I don't think Ternus will be CEO until after this administration

@siracusa@mastodon.social @dave@rascalking.com will it hold a candle to Taiwanese parliament though?

@tiffanycli@mastodon.social also tempting to try debian/flatpaks as a main os just to spite Satya Nadella

@tiffanycli@mastodon.social tempted to dust off Fallout NV again....1 and 2 were always a blast. Afraid to watch the new series tho!

@dschaub@mstdn.social @atpfm@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social I feel like this is actually one of the right calls, looking at asymco's graph of Apple vs. other FAANG capex during the AI craze. Making a LLM type model dependent on scraping is not in the DNA in the company; why force a round peg into a round hole?
Replying to
@dschaub@mstdn.social @siracusa@mastodon.social well, Luca Brasi and Tommy Hagen were kept around for a reason...
Replying to
@Arcticulate@toot.community @Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social that's true but I have more faith in Tim Cook making chips than Jensen making chips, judging how atrocious the GeForce4000 and 5000 series roll outs have been…
