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)
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.
