Journalism has a stricter moral code. The whole point of journalism is to spread correct info. The point of business (most of the time) is to make money. These are very different. Also, since when did we give business men a pass?
But he's creating the scarcity. If someone corners the market for something simple like cars and creates the economic conditions where consumer cars now cost 500k, does that person also get to go on a podcast and say "normal people shouldn't own cars anymore because they're a scarce resource?" as if it's just an objective reality that they played no part in creating? Because that's exactly what Altman is doing here.
"Scarcity is because of AI demand. Data centers are set up to meet that demand. It’s quite rich to say “evil companies are taking up all the ram” when they are serving billions of users, and you want to do the exact same thing for yourself."
I recently snagged a really good deal on a Macbook (very nice hardware!), but the more I use it, the more I struggle with macOS (even though a few utilities can help bring some of Windows' features).
I used to be able to completely boot into Windows on my Intel mac a few years ago, but Apple no longer supports it for some reason. It's a shame, especially since the ARM64 version of Windows 11 has gotten very good now.
It would also be nice to be able to install Linux too. It's my own hardware, after all!
Are you sure? It is my understanding that Parallels is just a VM, like VMWare Fusion, and that there's no way to natively dual boot Windows on Apple Silicon.
Looks like you're right about Linux though, I didn't know about Asahi Linux. Thank you for sharing.
It achieves the same thing or close enough. Apple isn't going to spend engineering resources (i.e. time and money) to build an easy way to install Windows. There isn't really a point for them to do so. There are other ways around it to be able to actually install Windows 11 specifically but Parallels is going to be your best bet.
Sadly I also can't natively install my Nintendo Switch software on my Xbox.
Apple is spending engineering resources every day to _prevent you_ from installing what you want on your own device. They're actively spending R&D money to fuck you over.
I'm not following your comments here. How are Apple and I who are in agreement and in a mutually beneficial arrangement "fucking" you over when you're not part of the arrangement?
I don't know you nor do I have any say in what phone you buy, for example.
I purchase the hardware, I should be able to do what I want with it. I want apple hardware for the good processor specs and battery life and general hardware quality.
Apple should be forced to release the necessary hardware specs to develop drivers so that I can use my hardware I purchased as I want. They should be required to let me own my own signing keys to boot my own software.
Anyway, I'd personally want bootcamp because it's a step closer to being able to install Linux, an operating system that lets me have a good tiling window manager that works.
Why the heck would anyone want to use macOS willingly, where the window manager and file browser are both complete unconfigurable trash.
There's just no getting "then don't buy it" for people who obviously don't agree with Apple's terms and conditions, is there? Not every product sold in the market will be done your way, and you can't act oppressed here because if you don't like Apple computers, you have a ton of other options...
Yes but there is the larger question of whether you should be able to install any software you want on hardware you own. Or does Apple still control it even though you paid for it.
I don’t believe there’s a question at all. You actually can’t just install any software you want on any hardware that you own. You don’t even have the right to compel companies to design computers only in such a way that appeals to your personal preferences.
Apple's terms are completely arbitrary. People will complain about this until the computers are capable of it again, because there is no legitimate technical reason that Apple Silicon cannot support third-party OSes.
So you want to compel Apple to write Windows drivers? You can't just install Windows on anything you want, the manufacturer has to make sure it works with Windows, and Apple is truly over playing nice with Windows.
On top of that, Windows 11 requires a TPM and Apple's implementation of the Secure Enclave is probably completely incompatible. The short moment in time when both computer families were in complete technological harmony is over.
The Linux community managed it. TPM isn't a hard requirement for Win11, Apple's SOCs are still in harmony with Windows' vision for computing.
To repeat myself, there is no valid technical reason that Apple cannot commit to documenting their platform for third-parties. People will complain, because it's an arbitrary choice on Apple's behalf to provide less transparent support than AMD, Intel or even the famously capricious Nvidia.
This has the knock-on effect of limiting macOS' exposure to third-party OS competition, enabling Apple to subsidize macOS support with SaaS offerings and advertisements. Apple customers have been increasingly asking for official Linux support on Apple Silicon, because macOS and iPadOS are not legitimate competitors to Windows or Linux. Apple Silicon is undoubtedly the second-class citizen of the PC world, and it's entirely Apple's choice to limit their hardware like that.
The fact YOU can run Windows 11 without a TPM does not mean that a hardware manufacturer can just hand wave Microsoft's requirements. Point me in the direction of a manufacturer who ships code that bypasses the TPM for their devices.
In OSes everything seems to be a zero-sum game to you. What the 2010s have demonstrated is that OSes can still carve markets for themselves. SteamOS, Android, Oculus, iPadOS, and the king of it all, iOS, have proven that to be relevant, you only need to create your own category. iPadOS is the only relevant tablet OS. Users expect iPadOS if you give them a tablet. Windows is irrelevant in that space.
IMO it's useless because we don't even know what a pelican on a bike is supposed to look like, It's very impressive that that models can make these directly using SVG, but we are way past the "wow" stage and test that can't be gamed and are easy to prove how good the model is in that specific arena are hard to find.
The only thing that pelican have is "models where not trained on this" maybe that true months (or years ago) now it's on every HN post and these AI labs are monitoring HN
