Macintosh has the Greatest ad ever. I have seen it for the first time just a week back after reading the book. Its a phenomenal work from ridley scott. I imagine how great it would have been in the eighties. Jobs is a legend

This channel is a gold mine. Thank you CHM.

Junior high!!!

Man hasn’t aged a day since 2004 teaching dynamics

Oh my gosh Macintosh talking how cool

Great trip down memory lane up to the present. Thanks for sharing.

A great contributor to the Apple community. 👍

Those who don't like, respect or admire Elon Musk are merely jealous.

Thanks Brad! Objective-C was inspiring and a pleasure to use.

I just watched this entire video for no other reason than I have been finding an immense sense of comfort in technology as it existed before I was born and hearing the kinds of developments that made people excited. Clearly the tech was ahead of the consumer market so it was "funny" to hear about 512 card expansions (and jobs adding that it helped keep the cost low AND the product lighter; not so sure how much of a difference the latter makes) and seeing the REAL WOW when paint was being demonstrated. If you ever want to be grateful for the tech we have today watch this. I'm still using an IPhone 11 I bought over 4 years ago brand new for like $1.2K unlocked brand new and I don't want to upgrade! With the iPhone 16 I'm finally seeing some facets of the newer tech that interest me but there's so many similarities between the 11-15 (and even 16) and I've been waiting for some big feature upgrades in a phone that's more "compact" like the iPhone 11 is considered in 2024. I remember upgrading to the 11 and thinking how much larger if a screen it was compared to my iPhone 5, 7, and all the iPod touches and OG iPods. Now the standard 11 is considered a compact device only replicated by newer models like the iPhone SE (if they are still making that). The rest of the industry flagship devices seem to have moved to larger phones and for my uses and pocket size (even being 6'2") I just prefer the 11 over all the MAX larger screen stuff. I'd like to wait to see what Apple does for the iPhone "20" whatever naming convention that gets. Someday I'll hopefully look back on this but I don't think I can make another 4 years on the same device even with battery replacement due to software upgrades. I hope to see compact phones come back and continue to take advantage of tiny sizes of storage that keep getting smaller and holding more WITHOUT relying on the cloud though I think to cut costs the cloud is all but an inevitable future in tandem with storage. At that stage Finder and storage management may have an increased emphasis for budget devices. The other big thing I hope to see is either an easily swappable or hot swappable iPhone battery with a longer operation time and battery life. I just wonder if there will be a large leap in tech that dispels the archaic lithium-ion.

CPUs are getting better because he keeps jumping from one company to another 😅

Around 28:37 when they were all introducing their names and what they did I couldn't help but picture those (now kinda old) Chipotle employee T-Shirts where they had their names and on one side or the other it says "I baked the chips today" or "I cut the meat today". I laughed out loud at the stupidity of the thought and then briefly pondering if the honchos at Chipotle had any connection to this far older video or if I'm just connecting similar but entirely unrelated dots. I think it's likely the latter but it's funny to think the head of a burrito company would use this specific Apple video to design personalized t-shirts to differentiate their product from big burrito competitors. 😂

I owe my entire work life to being a “Mac person” and have the penultimate last name… “MacManUS”. Hard to believe it all started for me on a Dec PDP1170, with a punch card reader. Who here remembers the TN3270 interface? Et Voila.

Excellent lecture

How do you wire anything in more than 3 dimensions? I can imagine stacking hexagons in a high rise building.

The SE-30 really is like Shangri-la to me still. I kept mine until 2006. Wish I still had it.

Inside Macintosh was a joy to read.

To je krásný mechanický počítač, škoda že nestačily tenkrát postavit ten několikanásobně veliký počítač řízený měnitelnými programy na děrných pásech. A poháněný parním strojem. To by bylo něco.

those graphics card is so confusing could make the best one that people likes please zuse your my everything

could you do the high defination of youtube that can give light

For some reason, listening to him feels so nostalgic. It takes me back to the old days when Bertrand would joke about Vista with his incredible (and I genuinely mean it) accent. I absolutely love him!

4 years is not a long time, incredible they could get something major like this done in that time. I suppose manufacturing a chip did not take that long back then and they could test it with old hardware.

82:00 Apple-era 118:00 NeXT-era

So great to hear history directly from the person involved. Thank you

Apple used to be hardcore. Real engineers constantly shipping the highest quality software

he'd be such a dick to work with lol. "Fuck your AC I do what I want"

That's a great interview! I really miss this era of Apple. The company really seemed to change after Steve Jobs died, and people like Bertrand, Scott, Ron, and many others left.

Insightful!

great

The prediction on the rise of AI at the end of video was spot on.

Great interview.

I can't be the only one thinking that guy looks like Les Nessman, right?

So, on one side you have Siemens and more companies that have put billions and billions into their machines to have a the best and accurate machines and come up with 10 to 15 test that a reliable after 10 years of scruteny and testing and the other side you have this c*nt with her girly fantasies that she can test 200 diagnostics.... Who to believe.....you must be American....

Yes, VCs have turned the valley into a swamp and it's spreading fast.

Utterly brilliant men. And how does Charles Simonyi still look like a young Napoleon?

Seeing this, it becomes undestandable why it was never built at the time when it was designed.

He's one of a kind

Ken, I was one of Terminal Software’s greatest enthusiasts. I still have a reel tape containing your distribution somewhere. Much time has past. But I still talk about those days fondly & how your ST package gave us a Unix-like toolset that enabled us to do our work so much more capably & enjoyably. When he finally retired our old 3000, my former boss & mentor told me that he had continued to use the rsh scripts that I wrote to backup & to rotate our media 20+ years later.

What a wonderful interview! Thank you!

Astounding Brilliance. Also, despite being a very serious person, every time I hear 'megaflops' I think 'megaplotz'. lol.

42:04 funny, this same guy many years later will deny the warranty claims on 13th gen Intel processors because of a factory error.

Alberto: Thank you, Jean. Today’s questions are organized into three parts. The first part focuses on product definition. Next, we’ll discuss design methodology, and finally, we’ll examine the CAD tools used during the 386 design. Question 1: How was the product defined? How was the product definition process organized at Intel? Jean: We started the process with a proposal for what the product might be. The architect of the 286 spent about two months defining this proposal. Then, we presented it to management and a group of architects. It was unanimously decided that such a product should be developed. At that point, we selected a committee to define the product. This committee consisted of marketing specialists, who understood the market needs, technical experts, architects, and logic designers. One of the architects had previously worked as a compiler writer for Pascal on the 8086, which provided valuable input. Question 2: What kind of input did you get from your microprocessor customers? Jean: We received a significant amount of feedback, especially about the 286. Customers were very open about sharing what they liked and, more importantly, what they thought was wrong. Every time we had a design win or loss, we reviewed the outcome to understand what worked and what didn’t. For example, we analyzed areas like UNIX systems, high-level languages, and graphics to identify gaps. When we needed more information, we visited customers directly. We selected customers based on their expertise and industry leadership. This iterative process involved continuous engagement, ensuring the product met evolving requirements. Question 3: Did IBM play a significant role in the definition process? Jean: Surprisingly little. At the time (1981), the 286 had not yet been selected for the IBM PC/AT. The PC was still an 8088-based machine. The whole IBM-PC transition occurred while we were defining the 386 chip. Question 4: How challenging was it to maintain backward compatibility with previous products? Jean: The hardest part was deciding to maintain compatibility in the first place. While it was clear we needed a 32-bit machine, it wasn’t immediately obvious that DOS compatibility was essential. After much deliberation, we developed a breakthrough concept: creating distinct environments for 16-bit and 32-bit operations. This approach allowed us to maintain compatibility while expanding functionality. Question 5: What operating systems did you consider while designing the 386? Jean: Initially, we aimed to unify the DOS and UNIX markets, which had traditionally been separate. The goal was to create a platform capable of running both DOS and UNIX applications effectively. Question 6: Did you consider adopting a RISC architecture? Pat: Only to a limited extent. At the time, RISC was a new concept, and we were more influenced by traditional architectures. The focus was on optimizing commonly used instructions rather than fully embracing RISC principles. Question 7: How did you approach the inclusion of cache memory? Jean: Initially, we included a 512-byte code cache in the design. However, simulations showed minimal performance benefits, so we eventually removed it. Instead, we focused on bus pipelining and intelligent prefetch algorithms, which offered greater performance advantages. Question 8: What was the design philosophy for the 386? Pat: Our design philosophy evolved over time. Initially, we didn’t fully understand technologies like standard cells. As the project progressed, we adapted to new methodologies and CAD tools, optimizing productivity and performance. Question 9: How did the design process balance performance and design speed? Jean: We prioritized performance but avoided excessive optimizations that would delay the product. By focusing on critical paths and balancing internal and I/O constraints, we maintained a manageable timeline. Question 10: How did you handle layout design and transistor optimization? Pat: Out of approximately 280,000 transistors, about 130,000 were in structured elements like ROMs and PLAs. For the remaining transistors, we used a mix of standard cells and custom layouts, ensuring optimal performance while minimizing parasitics.

Funny, I remember all this old stuff. I started working 1971 at RIFA, later it was renamed Ericsson Components. We got the technology for TTL from National Semiconductors and built our first fab. Amazing: 5 micron technology and contact printing for those bipolar TTL circuits. We also had a developmental lab for high voltage analog bipolar circuits. Later we achieved technology from AMD for NMOS and CMOS ( 2 um technology, Perkin Elmer lithography tools) and later we built a small Sub-micron fab with technology from Texas Instruments. Then we were using I-line (365 nm wavelenght) step and repeat lithography. When Ericsson closed the Sub-micron fab 2004 I moved to Dresden Infinion and worked with DRAM technology. When I retired in 2009, we were using ASML argon fluoride laser 193 nm Step & Scan immersion lithography. Nowadays 2024 , 15 years lager, the technology has reached unbelievable new highs. Lithography is now using extreme UV (EUV) at 13.5 nm… ASML is the only company that produces and sells EUV systems for chip production, targeting 2 nm and below process nodes. Apple will use TSMC 2nm technology 2025. Cost for one ASML EUV equipment is approximately 200 million US dollars.
