The other one I would mention is the ability to very easily reuse resolvers in composition, and even federate them. Something that can be very clunky to get right in REST APIs.

I agree with you that it is sad. And what is especially sad is that the result will probably be lower quality overall, but much cheaper. It’s the inevitable result of automation.

And it also, as you say, really reuses words. Just reading I notice "phosphorescence" 4 times for example in this chapter, or "ooze" 17 times (!).

It is very impressive though that it can create a somewhat cohesive storyline, and certainly an improvement over previous models.

Anyone know how large the team was behind this app? The delivered impressively!

In other words: it's not easy. There are many factors at play.

With this available (which is a much simpler system), all of the App Marketplace-convoluted setups seems redundant.

PowerBI / Tableau is much more full-featured.

But they simultaneously open the door to other browser engines, so I imagine Firefox at least will release their app with a new browser engine down the line.

I however recall that they claimed in a keynote it took 10 hours to machine a single unibody MacBook, which would make the capacity for a single machine about 700 cases a year.

Available volume on the new node will be much smaller, so they had to prioritize. This is likely why only the iPhone pro will get the A16.

You can make a cable that support 40 Gbps / 100W, but it will be $50 and very thick, with a maximum length of 1m (or cost $400 if you want an optical 10m long cable).

Or you can make a thin, 480Mbps / 5W cable that costs $2 that can be 5m long.

Or you can make a 10Gbps / 20W cable that is $10, can be 2m and is medium thick.

If you want them all in one cable, all cables would be $400, which would be a larger problem for most consumers (and even optical cables can't really be bent / are very fragile. So unfit for travel. Not a good solution either). You can't have everything in one cable.

You could claim that there should be 3 separate connectors then for the 3 cases above. But I don't think that would be an improvement really. At least you /can/ charge your laptop with the thin cable overnight, even if it is slow. And you can connect your phone to your laptop charger etc.
