Would the sky also be filled with infinite black holes?

All that helps, but if you look at the die you are going to see a massive 12MB L2 with a bunch of routing to all the L1s. That’s where the majority of the cost is going vs any other chip.

It’s an L2, amd zen has 2x16mb L3s, with a wacky point of unification. L3 is muuuuch slower than L2.

Apple’s L2 is huge and is the PoU for all the cores. I wouldn’t be surprised if it has direct routing to all the L1s since they are so small. 5nm doesn’t hurt.

Because of the 12MB L2 cache as the point of unification. 865 snapdragon has a 4mb L3. Same as my recent intel MacBook.

Apple can use at least as much more die as amd/qcom/intel’s profit margin.

A lot easier to lug my 16lb road carbon bike up and down stairs then a 30lb commuter

Google android app search is just as bad. That’s because “store search” is a totally different problem than indexing the web.

Even indexing the web is a different problem now than in 2000, users expect the search results that are SEO optimized for google.

Nvidia buys ARM, Apple builds its own GPU, and the dance goes on.

These articles on HN always remind me how much more work crypto has to do in terms of education to the general technical public. Crypto Twitter is a recursive bubble.

2015 is the best MacBook! Touchbar is terrible, but I applaud them for trying. They are trying imagine a perfect touch interface.

The butterfly keyboard is such a classic Apple thing todo.

To push form well beyond the limits of current manufacturing capabilities just because of an ideology.

How many big companies try something that ambitious?

I wrote a Makefile that applied a bunch of imagemagick filters to thousands of photos. Married with two kids now :)

> It's entirely hard to believe this considering the obscene amounts of profits that US companies make by just "designing in california". Our whole era is enabled and defined by cheap chinese labor.

Labor is fungible, if it wasn't in China it would be somewhere else.

Despite all this, US tech firms still have a harder time operating in China.

> A meta point I'd like to add is that currently 10 % of the earths population in the "Westosphere" controls 60 % of the worlds wealth.

True wealth is really hard to measure. Stocks and dollars and euros are not wealth. They are mediums of exchange no different then dogecoin.

When I am hungry, I can’t eat them directly, I can only trade them for food. And the amount of food I will get varies based on supply and demand.
