ARM architecture 64 bit. It’s the style of CPU in your phone and MacBooks, known for being energy efficient and it’s performance is getting better too.

The big downside though is that loads of old Windows apps aren’t going to run on these as effortlessly as they would on conventional x86-64 CPUs from Intel and AMD.

I see this sentiment pop up occasionally but it’s rare that anyone ever explains what else the Mozilla Foundation does that’s so egregious to make it not worth donating.

Québec has done a lot of VFX for movies too. Hallmark movies often film in northern Ontario.

Debt and ledgers.

Anthropologist David Graeber made a compelling case that this was the system in many different societies and places before cash. There’s nothing stopping us from doing it again. His book talks extensively about how each society handled repayment, the role of violence, interest, social hierarchies, etc.

For some reason it’s become commonplace to think that barter is what preceded and/or would replace cash if we ever lost cash.

Anthropologist David Graeber has written a more compelling account of history with examples in a variety of societies showing that debt and ledgers are what came before cash and I’m thinking a system based off of them would probably be strong contender for a future without cash.

Unless this thing runs on fossil fuels, I don’t think it’s really going to have a big impact on climate change.

I guess there’s an argument that this is taking away engineering hours from projects that might have more practical uses in addressing climate change but I’d counter that sometimes engineers need a break from their usual work to avoid burning out from tedious incremental tasks and rigid processes. A bit of time and space for experimentation can be helpful, reinvigorating, and can lead to future discoveries and inventions if done right.

All of the money spent now on pro-active regular checkups and prevention will limit the amount of reactive expensive emergency surgeries later

But if I ever see anybody looking at me with those glasses on their face, they'd better remove them pronto when I ask them to or I'll become bellicose rather quickly.

I’m sure Meta will want to normalize these in society very quickly so that you it will become just as acceptable as a stranger taking a photo of their friends with you else accidentally appearing in the background
