No it was an MP4 of Titanic . They watched it during the long boring descent.
Surely for dev purposes and testing and some document analysis. Apple also makes the Mac Studio a Mini which, if you give them enough RAM, kicks butt with AI. Expensive, but still the cheapest option for the performance
I have a MacBook Pro and a Ryzen with a 12Gb RTX under my desk. The RTX is surely faster with AI, but the Mac can load much bigger models with 48Gb of RAM. The secret sauce is that Apple shares the GPU and system memory, something intel’s old PCI architecture has problems with
The laptop also runs at about 15% of the power of the RTX for 60% of the performance. You do the sums.
If Apple takes this to a low power high performance AI server they will eat NVIDIA s breakfast.
The problem is the same as it always have been. The skills needed to acquire power do not align with the skills needed to exercise power
You can't have a wifi device that doesn't phone home because the manufacturer keeps the price down by selling your data. While the fee per user may not be much, in aggregate it allows them to reduce prices enough that nobody can compete without doing this. It's been tried quite a few time with seversl different types of device, but the increase in price to pay for not selling your data is more than most people are willing to pay and so none of these attempts were successful. So if you want a wifi thermostat that doesn't need an internet connection you'll have to make one yourself because nobody can make a profit from making one for you.
Similar to third party car insurance in many countries that is obligatory
Excel is very similar. Loooots of business processes run in Excel Spreadsheets
I just sent a bill to my client doing exactly that.
They have a junior dev who used to a hardware gal and then configured networks and somehow became a code. Boss spent lots on money to build an app that the AI basically copy-pasted all over the place. She could not cope (but then she is scared of git and refuses to write tests since they are boring) I was brought in to fix the mess
Ka-Ching!!!
Too many homes let the heat out and just pay for more to keep it warm ana cozy all winter. And, or course, some of that power comes from solar panels that take light in and reflect almost none of it back out to space.
Just wait until you wife asks "Does this pant make by butt look fat?" and see what happens if you are honest.
BTW, My standard answer is "I am not Karl Lagerfeld and you have two daughters that have a fashion sense, go ask them"
My wife works in Switzerland and if I pass through her social circle I get kissed on the cheeks all the time. Can't say I dislike it! But, I have to add, that would be the French speaking part. In the German part not so much.
I don't think it's entirely that. It may be for things like NASA projects where innovation is much more prevalent, but there are other factors in Government projects as a whole. I suspect there's a large element of costs and time frames being deliberately underestimated. If the true costs were stated up front it may be more difficult politically to get something approved. HS2 here in the UK seems to be an example of that. The originally stated costs and time frame were ridiculously low and have risen steeply since, but if the full price had been stated upfront it's doubtful it would have ever got approval. That may well have been a good thing, but that's a discussion for another time. I suspect (but obviously can't prove) that underestimating such things is common in Government projects across the Democratic world so that things get started, then the later rise in costs is easier to sell and often becomes Someone Else's Problem anyway.
Did you hear that two rabbits escaped from the zoo and so far they have only recaptured 116 of them?
