The latest 15" MacBook Air M5 has a 66.5Wh battery and is rated for up to 15 hours wireless web (light office-style tasks) or 18 hours video. Average system draw works out to ~4.4W—exactly like the Panther Lake math.
Apple's M5 idles in deep sleep states pulling milliwatts most of the time (no constant TDP draw), thanks to unified memory, aggressive power gating, and a highly optimized display/SSD. Real-world tests routinely hit 15-20+ hours under similar light loads. Same efficiency principle as the Intel laptop: peaks are rare, averages rule battery life.
A question that I receive: “Will there be another Apple?"
The short answer: No.
The longer answer for why Apple will never be replicated is discussed in the newest Above Avalon Daily update (linked below). It’s a subject that I've never seen discussed before, so check it out.
China is way ahead on AI adoption.
A school in Beijing has repurposed old macs to run personalised AI agents 100% locally using @exolabs
The macs were previously used in their film studies lab, for video editing.
They have ingested their entire corpus of school data: curriculums, reports, instructional materials and learning objectives - so it’s grounded to all their data in realtime.
In order to get accurate answers, they need frontier models, which are BIG - memory is the constraint (not FLOPS). Apple devices with unified memory have a lot of high speed memory so stacking enough of them makes it possible to run massive models.
A big concern of schools and parents is data privacy - when students or teachers use models in the cloud they are sending all their data in plaintext to the model provider. Even if schools have policies around this there’s always the risk someone accidentally copy-pastes sensitive data into the model - data leakage is inevitable.

Fun fact: The iPhone 15 Pro is now a gaming console! Step aside, Nintendo.
Here’s my setup which includes pass-through charging, power to the Razer MagSafe cooler to stop overheating, and HDMI to my 150” 4K projector.. all through one adapter!

Shares of $ZOOM are up 50% today because video conferencing is expected to benefit from the coronavirus.
One small problem. It's wrong company. Zoom is $ZM.
$ZOOM has been out of business for years.
Score one for efficient markets!

В 2015 у поставщиков в китае появился слух о FaceID у Apple. Huawei напрягся и просил китайское г-во надавить на поставщиков. Г-во сказало забить на датчики и дало доступ к гос БД с 1.4 млрд лиц для раз-и AI алго-ов
США нужно сильнее дать по щам Хуавею

GCam modder savitar/defcomg said the Pixel 4 connects to both cameras at once in all modes, likely to allow for seamless switching betwen lenses when zooming. Because of this, the ISP in the 855 can't handle recording 4K60 on the main and 1080p60 on the secondary.
