Apple's WWDC 2020 keynote covering iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, privacy, tvOS and macOS, and the announcement of the move of Macs to Apple silicon. It includes demos of Rosetta translation and virtualization on ARM.
HN cites it as the primary source for what Apple announced about the Apple silicon transition, Docker and Safari extensions.

Your comment made me rewatch that section of the Keynote [1], and I believe you're right. Docker and Parallels were shown in a 'virtualization' subsection, and not the Rosetta subsection. So that must have been ARM64 Debian we saw there indeed. Did I say that their presentation was too fast :) ? That's going to be interesting in the end. Being able to build/smoke test x86 containers on macOS will be important, at least for a while. So it's up in the air whether that will be addressed, although it's worth noting that Docker already supports cross building images [2]. [1]: [VIDEO] [2]: [LINK] Another interesting note is that the user agent in their Apache logs still says "Intel Mac OS X". Wonder if they'll keep that.
[VIDEO] It doesn't stutter whatsoever (you've claimed this in multiple posts, and I think you need to look at your playback device because the game is buttery smooth). And for integrated graphics of a binary translated x86-64 game running on ARM @ 1080p, that is pretty amazing. No one is going to claim that the GPU on the A12Z beats a dedicated GPU, even a low-end one. But as someone whose kid has an iMac with a Iris Pro integrated graphics, this looks a world better than what Intel integrates, not even accounting for the whole binary translation thing. And clearly the higher end Macs with Apple silicon will still have dedicated GPUs as well. Why wouldn't they?
Despite Apple announcing Safari 14 supports the Web Extensions API[1], uBlock Origin still cannot be supported. [1]: [VIDEO]
It's pretty cool. Good medical equipment is always going to be expensive. Mist disabled folks won't be able to afford this, and, of the ones that can, they may not want or need them. That doesn't mean they shouldn't make them, but they probably won't get rich on them. If anyone watched the Apple keynote, one of the sessions was introduced by Meg Frost, who rides the most badass wheelchair I've seen: [VIDEO]
They specifically mentioned it by name in the keynote, and even have a screenshot of it running on Big Sur. [VIDEO] (1:40:06) if the timestamp doesn't work
Right, I just reviewed his comments at the end of the presentation, and it's easy to interpret Cook's comments as roughly 2 years from the first Mac at the end of 2020. [VIDEO] (roughly 1:45:00)
