> why do most smart phones use ARM chips

Because x86 is exclusively licensed to Intel, AMD, and Via(dead).

> if you have an Intel or AMD or Apple M chip all running at 4GHZ, the M chips uses less power.

Not true, Intel and AMD have surpassed M chips in perf/watt if you clock limit them, but they aren't wide enough designs (P core size and bus size) to keep up, as i stated. Apple blows money on silicon die area because they know they can sell the big ones in $5600 laptops. AMD is stuck mainly under $1500 laptops. Strix Halo is wide enough and powerful enough, but only on 4nm. If AMD ever puts a halo chip on the best TSMC node, it would sit side by side with Apple Silicon. Intel is still making podunk consumer 128b wide bus chips, but Lunar Lake gives apple M silicon a run for its money. If they ever gave it a wide bus it would humiliate Apple.

That's not entirely true.

ARM has always been low power, because it's mostly been in phone SOCs, clocked low.

ARM on Apple is efficient because of two things. VF curve optimization, they don't try to run at 6ghz like intel, they run between 3 and 4ghz. AND Apple uses the best TSMC node, and makes their CPU cores HUGE to compensate for lower clocks. ARM isa has nothing to do with it. x86 would behave the same if anyone used an advanced node, huge cores, and VF curve between 3-4ghz.

If they were anywhere near as dense, capacity ratings wouldn't be so low. I'm talking about reputable cells here, not "trustfire" or whatever.

Lifepo4 batteries are half as dense. Best i can find in 21700 cells is 3000mah, vs 6000 for regular lithium.

I think the CGI has held up fine. Is it perfect, no. But it's not The Last Starfighter either.

The acting they managed to pull for the series is, to this day, great. The main cast is basically a collection of all-stars, and guest actors ranged the gamut (most great, some bad, a few amazing ones)

If you display it in a 120hz container you can smoothly play both 24hz and 30hz material side by side.

JMS wrote what all good writers do, extrapolations upon then-current society, from historical lenses. The rise and fall of the nazi empire was well documented, he just applied it to a USA coded global earth government.

You can say Elon's name. He's not Voldemort. Voldemort was competent.

Then don't let it be one sided. Give this to EVERYONE. then EVERYONE has the same advantages and disadvantages this tech brings.

Ask it, "are you sure you're sure?" and it'll output the correct answer

We should terraform mars anyway. The science learned from that will fix earth. One day the sun will expand. It'll envelop the earth (and eventually mars, yes, but colonizing mars buys us time to colonize Jupiter and Saturn moons and develop alcubierre drive FTL and colonize the stars.

Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes...and all of this...all of this...was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.

Have you SEEN boston dynamics? Robots that can roof a house and do plumbing are basically here already, they just have to be programmed for it, and that'll be an easy leap.

Labor is a thing of the past. A quaint concept. It's in the process of being replaced, in whole, by robots, AI, drones. The billionaire class is tired of capitalism and working to dismantle it, in favor of technofeudalism. The joke is on them, as they can't overpower 7 billion people who are awakening to their material conditions. At the end of this, full automation won't benefit the billionaire class, but will provide a post-scarcity fully automated utopia for the masses who take it back.

Who cares. you don't need RAM or GPU's anymore. Leave that crap to datacenters. Just rent your gaming time from the cloud. You will own nothing and be happy.
