Lies beget ignorance.  Ignorance begets folly.  Folly begets failure.

Why do you want our Democracy to fail?

You seem to be saying that "censorship" is required for our system to succeed.  In fact, our "Republic" is built on the foundation of individual liberty.  When liberty fails, including freedom of speech and expression, our democratically constructed Republic will fail with it. 

Obviously not, since the government is explicitly forbidden from surpassing (or making compulsory) speech of any sort.  But that does not prevent citizens from demanding truth from fellow citizens.  We have libel and slander laws for that reason no?  In fact, early in our nation’s history duels were fought over the meaning of “truth”.  Would you be willing to die to continue to spread known falsehoods?

So either they include a powerful discrete GPU or they create a powerful integrated GPU.

All indications are to the later solution.

One unknown is whether or not Apple would use a Neural Engine-only chip in their own server hardware; I wouldn't expect them to productize this. It would be used for their own cloud operations (Siri, image processing, video processing, whatever).

No—this makes no sense.  Apple has indicated all ML will be on-device only.

I would not be surprised if somewhere in a lab in Cupertino, there are prototype task-specific ASICs: 3D rasterization, AI, and signal processing (especially video encoding).

I expect the following are currently projects of the ASi group

• ray-tracing GPU cores
• Reworked Neural Engine
• New high-performance and high-efficiency CPU cores
• A ProRes acceleration core to replace the FPGA on the Afterburner card.
• Improved analog signal processor 
• Next-gen low power modem 
• High speed, high bandwidth, low latency fabric, both on-chip and on-board

MiniLED also doesn’t experience the color shifting that comes from display angle or the color drifting which happens over the lifetime of the device.  I will definitely be buying a miniLED iPad when this one breaths it’s last.

So Apple will have one OLED iPad Pro model and one miniLED iPad Pro model?  Seems dumb to me.—just make the Pro family miniLED across the board.

IMO, in appearance it doesn't sound like JI had any allegiance left to Apple when TC took the lead and TC enabled and maybe even coddled some of the negative behavior. It must have been disheartening to be on that team.

If it was you couldn’t tell from all the members of the design team running to reunite with him.  That being said, I hope he stays far away from Apple.  He got bored with computers and started churning out bad design.  Well past time for both party’s to go their separate ways.
