If you are working with text a monitor with high pixel density is important. 4K 27” is good for Windows, 5K 27” is great for Macs. I think companies should provide a monitor of this calibre and a laptop powerful enough to easily drive them to technical workers. I would spend my own money on the hardware if I could use it for work. It’s like if a company said they will give you a $5000 pay raise, but you have to use a 2006 flip phone from now on. I think a lot of people would refuse the raise.

Would be cool to run this on Snapdragon X Mini PCs in a 10 inch rack

Excited to upgrade to a Mac with Thunderbolt 5 which should allow for 6K at 120Hz with 10 bit color over a single cable. All this with an OLED panel is just about peak display for me.(though miniLED would be fine too)

So in a good case scenario say AI continues on it's current exponential pace, most information workers are replaced by an agent, and a UBI comes about. What then? For people the life's journey is often more important than the destination, but now we are essentially playing on a God mode and everything comes too easy. This is something i've been dealing with, It will be hard trying to find a purpose when your contributions dont mean much. Your family and some hobbies is alls left to contribute to. We will be like spoilt children who have everything given to them on a silver platter, will it make us miserable?

Hetzner seems to have the best deals in cloud computing right now, especially for individuals / small companies. I'm excited for their dedicated ARM vCPUs to become available!

Vector GPU Rasterization in Chrome is still broken on Apple Silicon Macs. Has been for more than a year.

Cant wait for Apple's 6K 120Hz OLED Pro display using the 120Gbps upstream support of this spec. We are nearing peak display.

To be fair vector images in Chrome on m1 macs have been pixelated for over a year

I think we are seeing a 2 pronged change in the automotive space and I think Apple can contribute to both.
1. Consumer-owned Electric Cars with advanced AI safety and lane-keeping assist (Traditional Automakers)
2. Corporation-owned Fully Autonomous Vehicles as a service. (Waymo, Cruise etc)
The former Apple is already having its presence known with CarPlay and will continue to expand with its 'next generation' previewed at WWDC that can take over all screens in a car. I feel as though by 2026 when electric cars will be even more mainstream the Apple version of a Tesla will be less differentiated and not high margin enough.
The latter is a more ambitious and disruptive long term goal. It's harder to do right, but has a much greater upside. The Apple Car may actually be the Apple Car Service with custom autonomous driving hardware and software developed by Apple. The service would be highly integrated into Apple's exiting ecosystem and would bring with it the luxury and trust that people associate with the brand

agree, cloud services are way too expensive, especially when you can get an 8 core mac mini for $700.

Cruise and Waymo are the clear market leaders in Autonomous Vehicles. Tracking the progress of these companies in the past year alone where they are operating with no safety driver in dense San Francisco is incredibly impressive. The field of machine learning in general is advancing at a great pace as well. I think by the end of the decade in places with limited weather events AV will be as common as Uber. At some point people will reconsider buying a new car and just rely on a robotaxi subscription along with walking, cycling, and transit to get around. It will be survival of the fittest though, only few companies will succeed. Tesla 'Autopilot' on the other hand doesn't even use Lidar, seems to disconnect frequently and is much more dangerous. I really think they use deceptive marketing.

I am writing the backend of my side-project with it. Async/Await in Swift is game-changing for safety and productivity. The tooling is only getting better and you can expect greater maturity with the coming of [Swift 6](https://forums.swift.org/t/on-the-road-to-swift-6/32862) likely next year.

Now if only chrome could do this on macOS. :( https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=130573...

The 2023 Nuvia based Qualcomm Laptop SOCs are coming in 2023 and could bring M1-Like performance to windows. https://www.anandtech.com/show/17075/qualcomm-x-nuvia-silico...
