I’ve settled on Safari as my primary browser and keep only one other browser, Firefox, just in case I encounter a website with Safari issues. But that hasn’t happened lately at all. Chrome is on my “Do not Use” list.

Chrorme is so write happy to SSDs even on windows that any other browser is better:

I wonder if Safari simply relies on the virtual memory system being efficient enough, and just keeps everything in RAM? The other browsers may be performing their own data caching due to a (probably informed) belief that it gives better speed - in which case, the data being written is explicitly measurable rather than being subsumed into the memory paging. I'm not sure this graph tells us anything meaningful.

My son was 13 when I first heard about this, and he would have loved it then. Today? We'll see. He might get it just in time for his last year of High School.

We're starting to see an increasing correlation between people who get into crypto and people who believe anything they're told. Hmm.

Unions are draconian, they stifle business, increase costs and are run by selfish bullies who are only focused on their own self gain. Unions served a purpose many years ago but there are now much stronger workplace laws that unions are obsolete.

"Corporations are draconian, they stifle society, stagnate wages and are run by selfish bullies who are only focused on their own self gain. Corporations served a purpose many years ago but there are now much more efficient ways to deploy capital that corporations are obsolete."

As long as we're postulating personal opinion rather than engaging in reasoned debate.

Do you know what year all this became reality? 

https://www.huawei.com/en/technology-insights/publications/huawei-tech/86/driving-ai-to-new-horizons

That article says the strategy was announced in 2018. No mention of shipping products (that I saw). The article at aibusiness.com is dated July 2021 and says that Huawei has built its cloud using the Ascend series chips and uses that to power its AI services. So, maybe the timeline is the same as Apple's? We just don't know, since Apple doesn't announce anything until it's shipping.

Plus, if all Huawei has is its cloud service (a big if, but I'm short of time to research) then we don't really have a comparison for their hardware vs Apple's. And with the trade restrictions in place on Huawei it's unlikely we'll get hardware performance analysis that won't be derided as untrustworthy because of its source.

But it's good to see more than one company trying to control the whole stack - it is at least some validation that the approach is worthwhile.
