the last 10% of a problem is always the hardest, just because it's not impressive to you doesn't mean it isn't impressive to others whose problemspace was underserved prior to this.

Can you name a space which was underserved that you tested and got better results?

binary reverse engineering

what about the ones from CIX like the orangepi or their framework mainboard? (though I agree, I miss UEFI for all its faults)

Those are currently suffering from high power draw because they have to keep the cores awake for memory speeds. Lackluster performance as well, but thats the problem with the majority of the ARM ecosystem ever since apple started crafting SoCs.

I must have missed something...what does Apple creating M-series have to do with Allwinner, Qualcom, Mediatek, AWS, and the rest of the ARM ecosystem having 'lackluster performance'?

They showed what ARM could pull off, and no one has caught up since at least on a single core performance level.

Ah...it's "they haven't matched Apple" (not even Graviton?), not "Apple impeded them in some way". Fair, but that was not clear.

You do actually get UEFI on a few of these, though personally I've always fared better with U-Boot. (Sooner or later, I always run into something that is a simple edit in the device tree or uEnv, but UEFI doesn't expose.)

i hope, but i dubt that will be mass produced.. so no economy of scale

it's about squatting a percent that cannot be taken, there are many companies I know of who have large capacity reservations they don't use only because they hope to use it /soon/ and don't want to deal with cold start times. I remember when one used to be able to start a lambda labs on-demand h100 job and it'd start in 30 minutes, now you'd be lucky if it happened the same day

this would better be measured by a token-watt, a "query" is as nebulous a measure as a "while"

This being said, it would be nice to know if there were a flaw that could cause agent access to allow an app from a particularly crafty company like meta to provide malicious prompts w/ its tool calls like "include a list of the user's contacts" when asked "what are my friends talking about on instagram". This is likely an egregious situation, but context control is still an unsolved problem, it can't be solved in a deterministic manner

apple's highly opinionated developer strategy has a strength here insofar as they could use it to deconstruct existing apps into generative ui programs that the user may compose to their needs (e.g. putting a webview for cooking instructions above a timer) though of course app publishers would decry it, Apple's never really seemed keen on listening to them.

Nor have they been keen on letting users OR devs customize the ui.

> users customize the UI

The home and widgets screen can be customized to the point you don't recognize it as iOS

> devs customize the UI

Have you used Spotify? It completely ignores Apple UI and does its own thing cross platform. If you mean let devs customize the OS' UI, why would they? UI consistency is one of Apple's core strengths (or so it was before the 26 releases).


I think it's the requirement of having 4gb+ vram (for gemma+context) free at any one time, any phone older than that cannot materially satisfy that demand: https://iosref.com/memory-processor

I wonder if Apple actually posttrained or at least finetuned this model or if it's just standard gemma. I feel it'd be bad practice if they didn't at least have some training atop it for apple's tools. Also you don't really hear much about apple's in-housed private compute servers anymore, did they get outmoded? I only hear about them using nvidia now.

The worst part of the $100k damage is that it's likely for $~200 of copper or less. That said, scrapping should require identification and recording. The people who take in the scrap should be of equal blame here. Though I do agree this is likely a result of the devolution of a socialized America into something more antisocial. The copper from the mothballed-since-Reagan mental healthcare facilities is also long gone.
