an interesting hypothesis, but, aren't the most widely used Apple apps now running on intel chips carrying just as much of a "legacy-burden" ?
to the degree that current apps must be radically re-architected to take full advantage of the M1 whatever ... that compiler voodoo alone can't conjure miracles ... ?
it will be interesting to see how app re-writes go.

I've seen plenty of Marketing blurb, but no technical documents (programmer reference manuals and the like). Knowing Apple, I assume that they are only available under NDA.
Apple already has an emulator for Intel code. Why not treat the Intel code as an intermediate language, and use a JIT compiler to compile it to native M1 code? If Microsoft can do it for IL assembler, why can't Apple do it for the Intel assembly language?
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Give Intel a break; they've been spending their effort on trying to make the world's slowest GPU. (They're also googling 7nm.)

IBM, Red Hat and VMWare are among several companies that have come together to create the Inclusive Naming Initiative which aims to eliminate problematic language from projects and replace them with an agreed set of neutral terms. "I am he as you are he as you are me, and we are all together"

Perhaps they should invest in education if a reference to a black leather book is putting people off
Next, they'll want to eliminate compilers, algorithms and calculus because it scares potential students off

The massive number of useless emails sent every day apparently takes a substantial toll on the environment, the BBC reports. As a result, U.K. officials are expected to soon ask everyone to stop sending out messages unless they actually have something to say. But not this one (I hope)

There is a whole universe in your brain, but did you ever think that your brain could be a reflection of the vast universe out there? I'm going to go with 'no'.
I was going to go with, "See: this is what happens when you legalize drugs", but thought some people getting the newsletter might be offended.
But they're probably on drugs.

Well... for some it might be pretty accurate...
Some neurons surrounded by a vast nothing would explain why they don't hear / understand anything said... words coming through the ears don't propagate in vacuum / void
And travelling from one neuron to the other is a very slow process...

Considering the interfaces throughout an enterprise architecture will lead to broader adoption. Read this primer on how to develop a great experience. "Have you ever been experienced?"

Quote: Behind every enterprise architecture, there’s a group of developers who have to make it work. Sometimes that work is easy, and other times, it’s hard. Specially when developers are not allowed to take important decissions about the design and are not in control of involved IT

Allen Foundation's Semantic Scholar: MIT Tech Review overview here: [^] Quote: ... Semantic Scholar, an AI-powered scientific paper search engine. It provides a one-sentence tl;dr (too long; didn’t read) summary under every computer science paper.
How they did it: The researchers first trained a neural network on a generic corpus of text to establish its baseline familiarity with the English language. This process is known as “pre-training” and is part of what makes transformers so powerful. They then fine-tuned the model—in other words, trained it further—on the specific task of summarization.
Squeezed: While many other research efforts have tackled the task of summarization, this one stands out for the level of compression it can achieve. The scientific papers included in the SciTldr dataset average 5,000 words. Their one-sentence summaries average 21. This means each paper is compressed on average to 238 times its size[1]. [1] okay, it doesn't do division yet.
