  Inference, not training, is now the constraint, and specialized low-energy hardware will beat general-purpose GPUs and TPUs on latency.

  energy

  Their words

  Yeah, I mean it's a little different, but I think uh you're going to see more and more uh uh high performance and um low energy uh inference hardware systems because I think everyone is now realizing that inference is the key to making you know these agent-based systems be available to more and more people and that latency is really important and that specialization of the hardware is a really key way you can make uh things that are more energy efficient and lower latency than more general purpose uh computational devices like say GPUs or TPUs

  Their words

  While Airdrop works very well between Apple devices, it can be kind of annoying to transfer files between either my Mac or iPhone and my Windows PC when I need to.

  Devices should be built voice-first, with keyboard and touch demoted to second and third, the exact reverse of how the smartphone was layered.

  Their words
