The copy for that one is very slop, too.


Just for once it would be nice to read non-slop copy, eh?


Just once, it would be nice to read something where the publisher has put in some effort to at least hide the slop.


Well, be careful what you wish for. At least I was able to stop reading that thing pretty quickly: it's not unreadable, it's untrustable! ...and yes, adding non-LLMish malapropisms has become my Captcha...


There are also really cold places in the world!


Allocation of a finite amount of engineering resources.


And a legitimate business interest to further incentivize the adoption of Apple Silicon devices. Same with Rosetta deprecation after macOS 27.


> a legitimate business interest to further incentivize the adoption of Apple Silicon devices

Apple has never been about supporting legacy platforms with new features. And with over a quarter of revenue and two fifths of Apple's gross profits coming from services, one could argue the incentives run either way.


Sure, but to what extent?

Enterprise ARM servers are still a niche product, and so are the ARM developer machines running Linux or Windows. Until this significantly changes, Apple will have to provide good x86 interop - or lose the developer market entirely.

Forcing people towards Apple silicon is of course an attractive approach when targeting the large portion of the market using their MacBooks as Facebook browsing machines, but (especially with the new MacBook Neo) what's going to happen when a large portion of the market for high-end MBPs disappears because it turned from the default no-brainer into a liability?

I'm very, very skeptical of this analysis. Certainly "entirely" is hyperbole.


That’s a joke right? I’ve been developing software deployed on x86 servers on ARM Macs ever since they were released.


Rosetta 2. Rosetta was for Intel to emulate 68k, now if you could get Rosetta 2 to run under Rosetta, then you could run 68k, on an ARM, and if you could get the apple ][ emulator...


Rosetta 1 was for emulating PPC not 68k


This is essentially requiring ID for IP connectivity.


Someone please fix the title for this.

That's a lot of budget - would have been nice if they'd made an actual donation to the project, instead of pounding the project's servers and bandwidth when there are much better ways to interact with the data.


Totally fair callout. I should’ve been more careful here and leaned on the provided datasets / bulk access instead of pulling things at scale. That’s on me.

I’ll make a donation to support the project regardless. Appreciate you raising it.


... so you'd only end up making a donation if you ended up "stressing the project's infra more than expected"?!
