It seems to basically one-shot off of the top X search results. If you ask it a spec I would expect it to be quite reliable. If you try to use it for anything with nuance it will typically fall on its face.

It has at least improved with the second category recently that it seems to be more right than wrong. But it still tends to work your query into whatever results it got, which makes it downright dangerous for when people are doing searches on health-related information.

I suspect it has depended a bit on whether a new process has lower output or higher defects. High defects, they'll focus on smaller baseline chips to get better yields. Low output, they'll launch pro models first because those are lower volume. Neither problem, they'll roll out updates pretty quickly across multiple product lines.

And that should change going forward with smaller chiplets being integrated in package, vs huge Ultra chips.

It is just over a third of the starting price of the Duo

Not questioning your motivations, but that seems like a tough exclusion to make. Do you exclude every product with an Intel chip?

> And the most popular resolution on PC is not 4k, but rather 1080p and 1440p.

Because that market, in aggregate, only spends extra on monitors for gaming.

Are you speaking specifically to Apple's 6th CEO?

I suspect it won't help - that option controls how Apple surfaces ads. The ads you are speaking to are most likely surfaced by the news sources themselves as part of the articles.

> How much revenue are they producing relative to my subscription fees? Why can't I pay an extra $1/month to turn them off completely.

None. Those ads are additional revenue for the "publishers". Apple doesn't restrict ads in all content.

If an article has those ads, I just block the source in News. There's got to be some other source that both covers the topic and has self respect.

So far nobody has tried to get trailing commas into the standard AFAIK.

Comments were explicitly disallowed from JSON since the beginning, because they could be used as a side-channel for vendor-specific extension mechanisms and harm interoperability.

> The Mac Pro could have fit that niche, but Tim Cook chose to depreciate it instead of letting the PCIe connectors be used with Nvidia cards. He cut off Apple's nose to spite Nvidia's face.

Apple Silicon only has support for 16k pages via DART, rather than the 4k pages typically used by AMD/Nvidia. The requirement to coordinate a major change of drivers to understand 16k pages is why both PCIe GPU and eGPU do not work (or rather, did not work - TinyGPU is a compatibility layer that adds eGPU support and is used for AI workflows).

The Mac Pro's biggest redeeming feature for a data center was that it was rack-mountable. The ARM version was still mostly an empty case. It remained mostly for its ability to support PCIe cards for video and audio production use cases, such as live broadcasting.

> especially since they're crawling back to Nvidia to license their interconnect

Licensing the interconnect for broader compatibility. They support other interconnects as well.

They went with several open weight models. Presumably they did that because they wanted their research to be reproducible (once the 512 GB M5 Ultra actually hits the market). Using say a Gemini model they have access to only due to their partnership with Google would not be as useful for people to understand what Apple did.

If you think of it as API access vs temporary hosting running the same open model, it makes sense to run the hardware yourself whenever you are sure it can be fully utilized.

I believe you will still be able to use Rosetta 2 from VMs, if local builds using linux (say via a devcontainer) are acceptable.
