This is the problem with 'big data' type AI, it is as fallible as the underlying data. The process of curating the data is, so far, infeasible. Junk in, junk out. 

3nM is around the theoretical limit of feasibility using silicon. I wonder if there will be associated reliability/longevity issues? I would prefer some form of ECC baked in. It won't be a good day when you discover that a small percentage of your files have been slightly corrupted by an ageing 3nM SOC. 

Sorely missed. 

He is right, there is a huge amount of baggage associated with language. You can tell an evolutionary algorithm to design a chair, a table or laptop by specifying its desired parameters and qualities, without mentioning its name or category. Sometimes unexpected 'genius' arises.

I think the market share percentage would be quite significantly different if it were measured by value. All those other laptop brands have some very cheap models. It is a little like the headline a few years back that went something like 'Apple has 10% of the smartphone market but 110% of the profits'.

More I'd say it indicates Preview.app's decline in relevance. 

Preview is my go-to app for viewing and quickly cropping and annotating any PDF. 

It is sad however to see the coming end of Postscript. WIMP (windows, icons, mouse, pointer), the laser printer, MacWrite, MacDraw and Postscript were the original desktop publishing revolution when PCs still used DOS, Wordstar and Lotus123 (and staff had to be sent on training courses to learn how to use them).
