Marissa Mayer was already on the sinking ship - but I admire her ambition on trying to make that thing work. God speed on her future en-devours for sure.
fundamental <--- not true. It's becoming an enabler, yes. Fundamental, no. Plus AI is terribly subjective, unfortunately. It's neither thought producing or augmentative to the process - but that's my OWN 2c on it. However, it _is_ important from an enabler for technology to be more "natural" to the way we interact with our technology.
"... given the 16 GB limit." Can you explain that? I mean, as a 64bit operation system, that doesn't jive. Are you talking about physical memory in machines that are being sold now? I've swapped out tons of memory and never heard about this. - this isn't a jab either. I seriously am not sure what you mean. (no insult intended)
Its limited because they are using low power LPDDR3 ram, which its limited to 16GB. LPDDR4 doesn't have this limit, but isn't supported by intel on Kabylake.
> "... given the 16 GB limit." Can you explain that?
They are referring to the fact that Apple portables ship with soldered memory and max out at 16GB while PC manufacturers are shipping systems which support 32 and even 64GB in laptop/mobile workstation form factor.
So they are referring to the physical memory (RAM) limit of Apple devices, not any logical limitations of the OS.
Couldn't disagree more. The macOS it its current iteration is a platform. With that platform you have a stack. Within that stack you support unward / downward functions depending on what you want. Just take a look at what Tridium does with their Niagara AX automation platform and the world of IoT and energy and you'll see what Apple most likely is iterating towards. https://www.tridium.com/en/products-services/building-automa...
Apple, like Tesla, share the same valley space in Southern San Fran. Elon Musk has eluded to this as well, as a reality in the very near future. To be perfectly frank, it's a natural fit for these two to be on the same vector and with the OS developer cycles with Apple after iterations with Darwin / Unix - which oh ya BTW runs some of the NASA space junk we have floating around - is the natural fit for Tesla. Maybe .. just maybe we see the Apple OS running Tesla cars in this fashion. I mean, it's almost obvious that these two are dating. I think the rest of the world maybe ignores it, but to me .. it's damn near obvious what the collaboration is, possibly already.
