It is a matter of taste of course, but, say, Makoto Shinkai's 'Garden of Words' I found a lot more visually pleasing. I know you cannot compare works from different eras, but that just highlights that today, one would watch Akira more for its history than for how it stands on its own today. In comparison, the original Blade Runner stands very well in its own right today and I would not hesitate to recommend it to someone who hasn't watched it.

Akira just didn't captivate me, and I watched it for the first time in a packed out cinema.

>It seems that the energy is being stored somewhere, and that matter itself allows us to tap into that

Like others have mentioned, you need to look at the two planets and the spaceship as a system together. The gravitational potential energy you gain from raising a spaceship out of one planet's gravity is equal to the energy you spend getting it out of that planet's gravity well (neglecting efficiencies).

While the trip from Planet A to Planet B might seemingly "gain" you extra potential energy because of the differences in gravity wells. The reverse trip of going from Planet B to Planet A will reverse that "extra" potential energy you gained as it's more costly to get out of Planet B's gravity well.

As so, there's no "extra" or created energy within the system. As for where energy is stored, it's simply stored as gravitational potential energy.

The USSR ethnically cleansed Germany in response? What? Or do you mean something else?

Had Nazi Germany prevailed, it is estimated about 30 million of all Slavs in Eastern Europe would have been cleansed, as per the stated goals of Generalplan Ost [1]. Getting rid of "undesirables" and "surplus population" on one of the widest scales mankind had ever seen was one of the main goals of Nazi expansion. They started to carry out this plan, but thankfully losing the war put a stop to that.

On the other hand, the USSR did prevail, and made East Germany into a puppet state. We can see the results without speculation. Indeed this resulted in repression and suppression and execution of political dissidents, let's not mince words here. But there are still Germans alive, aren't there? Had Nazi Germany prevailed, there would be few, if any, Slavs -- Russians, Poles or whatever -- alive today.

The two cases aren't even remotely comparable.

> Mathematics, at its core, is about tangible and easily perceptible stuff like counting things and measuring space.

I think that it depends on what you mean by 'core'. This is certainly the historical core of mathematics—where things started, and so around which all later developments have accreted—and I suspect it characterises a large part of most 'users'' interactions with mathematics, but I think that there are many mathematicians who would not describe your characterisation as the core of what they do professionally.

(It happens that I can't substantiate that even by a flimsy appeal to my own work, because there is a reasonable sense in which counting things is at the heart of my work (even though it's not combinatorics); but there are other fields that I think don't have that sort of connection informing their everyday work, even though it is of course always there historically.)
PowerVR graphics is quite terrible, no doubt about it. It's the reason why some Intel Atom-based or similarly low-end x86 devices are stuck on an unsupported version of Windows 10, with nothing to upgrade them to. Even Linux won't run properly on that hardware, it's that bad.
A very cynical answer to what's the logic here: objective measures get in the way of many non-academic college admission goals, so colleges want to do away with them. One of those goals is racial diversity, and that's the only one colleges openly talk about because it's the only one that can positively impact society. Other goals include raising more money by admitting the children of major donors, improving the prestige of the college by admitting top athletes (even when they lack academic ability and motivation), and connecting the college with as many important and powerful people as possible(to bring both money and prestige to the college, and/or to help high ranking administrators make connections).

Of course colleges do all these things already, but imagine how much easier it will be for them when they don't have these pesky test scores showing the students they want to admit aren't qualified.
From a developer perspective, changes in frontend web development have been pretty dramatic: CSS Grid / Flexbox, React, WASM, extensions to the web API, lots of new JS features, countless frameworks, plugins and build tools more homogeneity between browsers. There is always lots of change and excitement.

I wonder how much of that "innovation" really makes a difference to users. As a programmer, I get a bit cynical about having 50 ways to do the exact same thing. What is possible today that was very hard to do 10 years ago in web dev land?

If we think about users first, maybe we can feel a bit less guilty of not having deployed React Hooks to prod yet?

I would describe myself as a hopeless philosopher in terms of physics.
I like to theorise about the nature of everything in universe.
In no circumstances I'd say I know what I'm talking about. I'm aware that I lack a lot of knowledge in this field, which actually makes my journey pretty amazing through the learning about the complexity of the universe.

These few words just to let you know that whatever you read here it might be a complete nonsense and it's not even a pseudoscience but some fantasy/fiction reflections.

I'm most amazed by the nature of tri-dimensional space itself.
Back then, there was popular belief in Aether - the substance that carries wave of lights.
To be honest I tend to believe such 'thing' could explain many of the most weirdest questions that appears in my head.

I wonder if it's possible that the Aether is the space itself. And the space is the Aether.
Tiniest, basic 'particles' that are frame for everything else. There would be no 3-dimensional space without at least 4 of such Aether quants.
Also for example photons don't just 'fly' through space, but jumps from one quant of Aether to another one. That's how they 'fly' in straight line. That's why when the space is curved they will follow that curvness.

And the gravity is not just a curved spacetime but something like an atmosphere made of Aether quants that are repelled by the particles containing Higgs boson.
Which naturally makes the Higgs boson the only particle that can interact with Aether.

I know that so far none experiment has confirmed the existence of Aether. But I can't let go the feeling that we are missing something here.
> but if we optimize our rules a bit, many of the great reasons to own a car might go away.

The reasons are mostly unaffected by your adjusted "rules" (read: prohibitions). It won't get any less convenient and time-saving because you make it more expensive. You can never replace my saved time with anything worthwhile. Especially when I don't believe in the "greater good", whatever it is for you today (apparently the CO2 footprint).

> Your CO2 footprint is unsustainably big, even with an EV car, and your children have to face the consequences.

No, it's not. And first and foremost I am responsible for spending as much time as possible with my children and to keep them safe. Sorry if it feels inconvenient and scary for you, but it's not a priority for me.

> it is also ironic, that young children are the ones benefitting the most from carless environments, which is kind of the reason why young families often move out the the suburbs.

Perhaps you don't know much about young families. Most leave to the suburbs because there are too many people in the cities (= high cost of living and housing). And you know what's essential in the suburbs? Yes, cars.

The issue with expecting small countries to field indigenous aircraft is that jet engines are hard. The Gripen relies upon the GE F404 engine, and this gives the US leverage in preventing exports. China has been trying for decades to build its own high performance jet engines, and hasn't succeeded. They still rely heavily upon Russian engine designs.

It makes a huge difference in terms of usability. Some sites are just plain awful to experience now. Not to mention battery hogs on mobile.
The irony in the narrative surrounding the ascendence of ARM is that the key innovation occurred in the Apple Newton. [1] History rhymes, they say. If I remember correctly, it was Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) silicon team that transformed ARM into a performance-per-watt powerhouse (no pun intended) to meet the requirements of the Newton.

The most important paragraph in this piece is last one, which plugs a $22.8 billion bill to support domestic semiconductor manufacturing in the USA and suggests the need for new entrants.

Semiconductor manufacturing is truly one of the few remaining manufacturing industries in which the USA has a competitive advantage (albeit quite eroded by TSMC over the past few years).

Especially with US aviation circling the drain, this is an industry we can't afford to lose. Removing semiconductors from US manufacturing statistics makes US manufacturing statistics go from "stagnating" to "extraordinary decline".

And it's not just the manufacturing sector. Semiconductors power some of America's most valuable companies (including but not limited to the FAANGs).

US economic and actual security absolutely depends on a robust supply of world-class semi-conductors manufactured on-shore.

Congress should take the advice in this piece and avoid making the same mistake with Intel that it made with Boeing (piling the bulk of all federal and state support for an entire sector into a single clearly dysfunctional company)
I doubt many kernel developers would like to develop on the Mac, considering that as of late it’s been a bit problematic to get Linux to work on.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx is a step in the right direction, as it's the first "PC-class" (more like mainstream laptop-class) ARM processor, a processor actually designed with laptops in mind, unlike all the other ARM processors that were put in laptops before that.

But even the 8cx is limited to mainstream "browsing-only" type of laptops for one simple reason - there isn't demand for anything else from OEMs right now. So Qualcomm will not design a more powerful chip until the demand appears.

This is in contrast to Apple, who can "generate the demand" simply by making such much more powerful Arm laptops available and convincing people to buy them.

This is also one of the main reasons why Apple tends to have the more powerful processors in the smartphone market. No OEM is asking for a mobile GPU powerful enough to run advanced video editing on the devices and whatnot. So the suppliers comply.
As is tradition.
Indeed and I think it's where the future of the Win32 desktop is. To be clear, not Windows as a whole, but consider how Microsoft suggested not too long ago that they planned to deprecate Win32 eventually (via Windows 10 X) and render those apps via RDP.

> For example, explaining with marbles falling down curved rubber sheets doesn't help, because you're using gravity (the marble being pulled down) to explain gravity.

Exactly, and it drives me nuts. There are many similar examples in SR and GR that maybe help a layperson intuitively, but creates confusion and frustration when you actually try to learn the theory. I can think of 2:

The "escape velocity" explanation of black hole event horizon. Yes, the number comes out correct. No, it does not make sense and does not help me understand how black hole works.

"Mass increases when object moves". No it doesn't. And no it doesn't explain why massive particles can't reach speed of light, because in the frame of the object, its speed is zero.

I can't tell you how much time I've spent searching for the answers, and drowned by these answers that seemingly make sense.

If Apple pulls any walled-garden nonsense around what apps I can and cannot install on my Mac today, at the extreme I can install Windows/Linux and run the majority of software that's available for those platforms.

If they move to ARM-only, I lose that choice.

This is one of the key things they got wrong.

Mobile and tablet devices are not real computers. I can't run any software I want on them. They're locked down, managed, console type devices. There are other weaknesses at the OS and hardware level too, but the lack of flexibility and control is the most fundamental and hardest to change.

If you opened up the OS to versatility and user control you could easily scale up an iPad with a bigger battery, more cores, and cooling, and you'd have a fantastic laptop. The UI would need some work too to make it suitable for more complex tasks, but that's an area where Apple excels when they want to.

The locked down nerfed nature of mobile OSes is hard to change though because it exists for good reason. It addresses a primary need in their market niche. These devices are marketed to non-technical users, and in today's constant war zone environment a non-technical user without those controls will be inundated by malware and spyware.

Still, this keeps them from being viable replacements for desktop/laptop systems in the professional market. For that reason desktop is not going away.

We have two markets here that really do seem to demand two solutions.

The desktop market decline wasn't the death of desktop. It was the loss of the low-end of the market, with non-technical and casual users migrating to phones and tablets. That transition is nearly complete, and the desktop/laptop market that remains is likely to remain until and unless something appears that truly does address that market niche.

It's not a growing market but it is probably a stable one. Having a strong presence in that market is important for Apple because it's the market where developers live, and without developers who is going to make software and ecosystems for the rest of their devices? Who will ensure that these devices reach their full potential and thus are maximally appealing to consumers?

No, doing everything in cloud is not that thing. I want to actually own my data, and broadband is still far too slow to make that workable for a wide range of tasks anyway.

I'm not exactly sure what I mean and that's part of the issue, when using an ARM CPU with desktop software which has not been optimised to hide UI "lag" there's something that feels like it just.. lags.

You can feel it on a rpi if you use it for a day, it's not that it's underpowered, you can grab a 15yo celeron that is much slower and single core and it will have less perceptable latency. The Celeron will "feel" as if it's working, the ARM chip will "feel" as if it's laggy.

I can't quantify this behaviour, but it's consistent across all ARM CPU's I've ever used with traditional desktop software.

Notably these issues don't seem to exist on Android or iOS, someone once told me this is due to the UI elements having a higher priority than anything else on the system.

Your original assertion

> Unfortunately, though Apple will likely find very great success with their ARM Macs, it does not necessarily follow that the architecture will gain significant ground outside the Apple-sphere.

Does not imply heavy workloads, compilation being offloaded to cloud is something already being done though.

I suspect that ARM will cannibalise most workloads, since it's shown very strong early competence already in photo and video editing on the iPad Pro, I highly suspect advancements in that direction will come to quallcomm CPU's in future.
