Mac and Win32 aren't operating systems.


Of course not, they are APIs. And this Arm-based Dell will not be able to run many binaries compiled for 64 bit Windows or any for Mac. 32 bit Windows Apps will mostly work.

Which might be pretty limiting, depending on what kind of software you run.


>Windows 10 enables existing unmodified x86 apps to run on Arm devices. Windows 11 adds the ability to run unmodified x64 Windows apps on Arm devices! This ability to run x86 & x64 apps on Arm devices gives end-users confidence that the majority of their existing apps & tools will run well even on new Arm-powered devices.

It works well enough that I have Visual Studio running without issue. However, no one has been able to get SQL Server running.


Windows for ARM has inbuilt x86 emulation. Having experimented with it in a VM on my Mac, I found it worked quite well in terms of both reliability and performance. Granted, I was running smaller Win32 applications - for large and/or performance sensitive applications, I imagine I might have run into issues.


>32 bit Windows Apps will mostly work

... Which is Win32


Lots of x64 apps making Win32 system calls. Those tend to have more problems on Arm than the x86 apps making those calls.


Kodak failed because their CEO refused to go down the digital route. How is that comparable?


Reading "Breton" and "TikTok" in the same sentence, my gosh. I wonder how he would feel about Dali's landscapes being mentioned.


It's scary to think that while we have the Transformer and it seems extremely complex, things like this throw it all away and give us a glimpse into what the neural (or even non-neural) networks of the future will be like. Perhaps even just simulating full biological systems as well as a brain-like system.


While ANNs are rather trained for unidirectional propagation, action potential propagation in biological neurons is symmetric e.g. ”it is not uncommon for axonal propagation of action potentials to happen in both directions” ( https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.92.03... ).

Also, while current ANNs use guessed parametrizations, objectively available is joint distribution - biological neuron should be evolutionarily optimized to exploit, and it is relatively simple in approach from this arXiv.

Such joint distribution neurons bring additional training approaches - maybe some of them are used by biological neural networks?


Ozone is not fixed because I will still get extremely burnt in the sun here in Australia. Asteroids is not fixed because what happens when one super massive one is coming straight for us?


You do understand that even with a fully normal ozone layer, exposure to the sun can indeed cause burns during certain times of the year and especially in hot, tropical places? Are you expecting magic as a definition of fixed, or something that actually applies to reality?

Much of the climate change discourse on this site strays into the absurdly hysterical, but some of it veers even further into deep childish fantasy.


I feel bad for the Panavision lenses for having been subjected to that


Apple should go back to the ads where the bold statement is generic upbeat envato elements music and the only new feature in their new products: phone colors


> The reaction to this ad reflects a pernicious societal descent into relying on emotion

Spoiler alert: humans have emotions. Apple will gladly spit in your face about emissions all while giving you less product (taking chargers out of iPhones) so they can save the environment (more like, their profits). Not everyone wants to see the message of hundreds of years of art history being destroyed all so you can purchase new product to make some soulless AI generated garbage.


It's not art, it's an advertisement.


I’m not saying this ad was art, but art and advertisement aren’t mutually exclusive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell's_Soup_Cans


That's not an advertisement. Irrelevant.


I hate ads, but I'm struggling to understand how something being an ad disqualifies it from being art. Advertising is a creative human endeavor. Ads are designed to make you feel something, just like art.


> Ads are designed to make you feel something, just like art.

Tear gas is designed to make you feel something.


At their core, their for commercial/promotional purposes. Ads are inherently meant to drive consumerism, where as art is not.


Some ads clearly are art. Speaking of Apple, their 1984 ad was very much a work of art. Things can have more than one meaning and purpose.


Plenty of artists make art for commercial purposes. In fact, that's kind of the dividing line between "professional" and "amateur" artist.


The romantic ideal is that art is not about consumption, but the reality, both historically and currently, is that art objects are by and large made to be bought and sold. If you disqualify all works meant for consumption, you would have very little left that we currently recognize as art.


Citation needed. In my experience, most artists create to satisfy the inner urge and then hope to sell it.

> you would have very little left that we currently recognize as art.

What's the problem with that?


> romantic ideal is that art is not about consumption

I believe this comes from the Church having been a major sponsor of art in the West for centuries.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_art

There are a long list of arts with adjectives in front of them. commercial art, applied art, fine art, etc...they aren't art just because you have co-opted art to mean only fine art. Also see:

https://miguelcamarena.com/blogs/news/fine-art-vs-commercial...


Ads can absolutely be art though - consider the poster for Le Chat Noir. Millions of art prints sold

https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/prints/person/42321/le-chat-...


Advertisement is art, by almost every definition of art. Of course, it might not be fine art, but there is plenty of art that isn't.


Everything is art. You can't do something that isn't.

Art and design exist ubiquitously in all things and all actions. It is the people without taste who pretend art or design is a separate activity from all other human endeavors. Perhaps a subset of "pure" or obvious art are works devoid of function except to be perceived.

I wonder what your thoughts on TikTok are.
