The one thing Apple has always been really good at is picking dying architecture for their hardware. If Apple uses it, the hardware is practically doomed. (6502/68k/power PC/ARM)

RISC V is the first open source Instruction Set Architecture. Everything needed to fab the chip is open source. It is like how Linux dominates the world in enterprise software, RISC V is doing that for chip fabs. ARM is a closed ISA. Making the chips requires paying a royalty to ARM for each chip made. It is a scheme to extract money through manipulation not true competitive innovation or value.

This is like any other market, as soon as an equivalent open source alternative exists, the incumbent extortionist’s days are numbered. Its only customer base is from convenience or ignorance.

Yeah, I can’t watch any of them any more it ruins the nostalgia and reminds me how dumb I must have been. I can’t stand to watch most mainstream stuff any more though. The second the plot goes stupid I turn anything off. I’ve wasted far too much time due to investment banker produced media. First hint is all I need.

Lol. ARM is a sinking ship because of RISC V. Calling it UK is quite disingenuous. It is owned by Softbank in Japan with major stakeholders in China. The only benefit to arm is with proprietary nonsense.

I’ve written several python scripts to extend the capabilities of a text to speech AI using an offline Llama2 70B model. It takes enthusiast level hardware to run. The few errors it makes in code snippets it can also correct by pasting the terminal error message and prompting.

I don’t write python, haven’t had to go online to look up anything about Python syntax, and have a script that can take any text and convert it to speech, convert any wave file into text, or concatenate any wave files.

It takes larger models and some testing to find a good combination for a task. It also helps to use a model that is not subject to public spotlight and political pressure like GPT or Bard. The tiny models like 7B’s and 13B’s are like talking to children or teenagers.

It pushes people to other instances. It is quite disenfranchising to some. I was here before you by a small margin, and was one of the most active users in promotion of positive community building. You are creating a problem no different than reddit. Matrix is the alternative built into Lemmy. Your resistance to this is why you should not be admin here.
