It’s definitely speculation. Not sure it’s unfounded, the project has built some level of support for all other Apple Silicon Macs: https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-sup…

Perhaps it is the way I framed the article, but the core of my argument is not “MacOS on iPhone”. Yes, I do personally desire that as a niche thing, but the broader point is the na…

wow — this hit me hard. I live in Seattle, and got laid off from Microsoft as a PM in Jan of this year. Tried in early 2024 to demonstrate how we could leverage smaller models (suc…
