- October 2020 By Amy F. The United States and the Soviet Union, later Russia, have negotiated limits on their nuclear forces for more than 50 years. Arms control has provided both nations with insights into emerging threats from the other’s forces, allowed informed decisions into the types of weapons and capabilities they could eliminate without risking their security, and maintained.
However, before discussing the countries with nuclear weapons, it’s essential to understand what nuclear weapons are. A nuclear weapon is defined as an explosive that has such an intense power behind it that it can cause massive amounts of damage in faraway places.
To start breaking down the explanation of nuclear weapons, let’s talk about the two types of explosives at hand. There are two types of explosives, including fission bombs and thermonuclear bombs. Fission bombs are detonated by way of a nuclear fission reaction, hence the name. However, this is not the only method of activating a nuclear weapon. Bombs that are detonated through a combination of fission and fusion are called thermonuclear bombs. Both of these types of explosives fall under the category of nuclear weaponry.
Nuclear weapons have been used twice, and both times, they were employed for the sake of wars that had broken out. The United States of America detonated the first nuclear weapon against Japan. Towards the end of World War II, the United States released a bomb of nuclear weapon power on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
The uranium fission bomb was detonated directly over the top of the city. As you can imagine, this infuriated not only the Japanese government but everyone who lived in Japan at the time, as well as their allies. The nuclear weapon that the United States dropped overhead caused more damage than anyone country should ever inflict on another, but that did not keep Japan from acting with better morals than the US.
A mere three days after the nuclear weapon hit Hiroshima, a plutonium bomb was detonated by the United States over Nagasaki, Japan. As if one nuclear weapon was not enough, the United States of America decided to fire another nuclear weapon in the direction of Japan. Sadly enough, over 200,000 people died due to these two nuclear bombings, which led to a lot of questions regarding the ethics behind the use of nuclear weapons.
Those two occurrences of nuclear bombs being used during the war are not the only times that nuclear weapons have been detonated throughout history. They happen to be the only two instances of nuclear weaponry as a war tactic for attacking the enemy. As scary as it is, the truth of the matter is that nuclear weapons have been tested, demonstrated, remodeled, and used as a scare tactic to threaten opposing nations approximately hundreds of thousands of times.
Eight different nations around the world have successfully detonated nuclear weapons. Five of these eight countries are designated as states that reserve the right to have nuclear weapons on their grounds, which was decided upon in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Otherwise known as the NPT, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons permits the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom to be in possession of nuclear weapons, no matter the reason for them.
Three additional states have conducted nuclear testing even though they are not part of the NPT, nor did they sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. These three nations include North Korea, India, and Pakistan. The Middle Eastern country of Israel, which is recognized as a religiously-affiliated country, also has nuclear weapons within its borders. Known as the Holy Land to many Christians, Muslims, and Jews, Israel is one of the countries with their hands on nuclear weapons. This can be shocking to some, mostly because religion emphasizes peace and communication over war and destruction, of which nuclear weapons are incredibly capable.
Israel is currently fighting to prevent an enemy country, Iran, from securing nuclear weapons of their own, most likely because that would level the playing field instead of giving Israel a leg up over Iran. As you can see, not only are the ethics of nuclear weapons constantly in question, but these weapons pose a question as to whether they are essential in the first place. Nuclear weapons divide countries, which is counterintuitive when trying to bring nations together and forge a sort of harmony among all countries.
Anyway, coming full circle, Israel is known to possess nuclear weapons, but it is unknown whether or not Israel has conducted nuclear testing of these weapons. For the longest time, the country’s government officials have not come forward to address the rumors or even acknowledge the fact that they have nuclear weapons on Israeli land. However, it has since then been determined that Israel has about eighty nuclear weapon warheads within its borders.
Many other nations previously held nuclear weapons but no longer do, for a plethora of reasons. The countries that once did but no longer have nuclear weapons at their disposal include South Africa, Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. As of calculations performed in 2017, it has been determined that there is an estimated number of 9,220 nuclear weapons worldwide.
How many nuclear warheads does the United States have? The United States, as of 2019, has an estimated 6,185 nuclear weapons. It is believed that 3,800 of these are stockpiled, and 1,365 are in strategic deployment. This is a fraction of what the US had at its peak of 31,225 in 1967 and 22,217 in 1989. The United States is one of five countries that entered into the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, aiming to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons technology.
Ever since the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, a cap of sorts determines how many countries are allowed to access, house, and utilize nuclear weapons. Another treaty came about approximately twenty-eight years after the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Known as the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1996, this document proposed that no other countries be allowed to have nuclear weapons in yet another attempt to prevent the nuclear weapon rates from expanding and reaching other nations.
The United States has always tried to maintain a monopoly over nuclear weapons, but more and more countries continue to find roundabout ways of circumventing the treaties. Countries like India, Pakistan, and Israel refused to sign treaties presented to them regarding nuclear weapons, and yet, they still have nuclear arsenals on their person. While there is a lot of controversy over the existence of nuclear weapons, it is crucial to be aware of which countries do have them.
It's time for another chipset transition for the Mac, this time from Intel to ARM. Apple announced their transition to Apple Silicon during WWDC 2020 and they aim to be finished within two years. This page shows the rumors leading up to the announcement of the official transition.
● Custom Apple Silicon
● New ARM friendly macOS Big Sur
● Based on existing A-series processors
● Software already exists
● Control over entire stack
● Leave legacy software behind
● Apple Developer Transition Kit
Pre-WWDC 2020 page: Go to Apple Silicon for information about Apple's transition plan and their custom processors. This page will remain for reference to rumors and leaks leading up to the announcement.
Software shifts and hardware transitions are nothing new to Apple, and we are about to see another huge shift in how they approach consumer technology. Until now, the Mac has relied on innovation and development from Intel to move forward, but with the ARM Mac, Apple will have total control.
Rumors have circulated for a few years now about the potential of an ARM-based Mac. With the introduction of the iPad Pro and continued year-over-year improvements to Apple’s A-series chipsets, an ARM Mac feels almost inevitable.
The past decade has been bumpy for Mac users. Apple has had its own host of issues with designs they introduced, like the butterfly keyboard and cylindrical Mac Pro, but much of what has been holding back the Mac falls on Intel.
Since 2015 Intel has seen marginal improvements in their chipset capabilities and relied upon increased clock speeds and more demands on cooling than actual processor gains. This left Apple with little room to move when it came to innovating on the Mac platform.
Apple even had to implement custom silicon in their Macs to run in tandem with the Intel processors, thus taking some of the load off of the Intel processes.
If Apple controlled the development of all the hardware and software in Mac, just as it has with the iPhone and iPad, then we would see much greater leaps in performance over time. This would allow more room for innovations in design and add in additional use cases and hardware.
Since the release of macOS Catalina, we have seen a slow trickle of Mac Catalyst apps. These are apps designed for iPad that have been formatted to work on Macs with macOS system architecture and Intel chipsets.
While Catalyst has yet to prove a great hit with developers, it lays the groundwork necessary for them to start programming iPad apps as if they were running in a macOS environment.
It is safe to assume that Mac Catalyst developed iPad apps will be easily transitioned, if not directly portable, to an ARM Mac. Catalyst also shows that Apple is capable and learning about making it easy to implement developer tools for transitions between platforms.
Do not be surprised if we see a “Mac Catalyst ARM edition” of some kind very soon.
Perhaps the most crucial development surrounding software for the ARM Mac is SwiftUI. This new language is universal and can easily be used for any Apple Platform during development.
In 2005, late Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that the Mac would transition to Intel from PowerPC over a year starting in 2006. The entire Mac line transitioned to Intel processors in 2006, first ones in January, and the last in August. Mac OS X Snow Leopard launched in 2009 as Intel only.
To move the entirety of the Mac platform for millions of users, minuscule by today's user base, to a new system architecture with minimal issues was an incredible feat. It is impossible to determine the speed at which Apple will move Mac to ARM, but for everyday users, the transition will likely be invisible.
Today's ARM chipsets can already handle most tasks an average user performs, and not having compatibility with Windows shouldn’t be an issue in a world where most data is in the cloud anyway. We do not know what kind of performance an Apple-designed “desktop-class” ARM chipset will produce, but it may be a few generations before the Mac Pro can kick Intel entirely. Lesser Macs meant for consumers and professionals who are not mapping star systems or making a Pixar movie will likely be just fine with ARM.
Apple tends to be obsessive about consistency across a platform. It is hard to imagine Apple having their entire product line from iPod to iMac running on ARM and having one single Mac on Intel. This would lead to software compatibility issues and development forks in professional-grade tools.
Even with the entire line shifting to ARM, leaving the Mac Pro as is during the transition will work fine. When you do see a Mac Pro with Apple ARM inside, expect macOS to deprecate Intel Macs soon after.
Unless you are a professional who needs to run Windows and macOS on the same machine, or have very specific software that won't update to the new ARM architecture for a few years, you won't even notice this is happening. The biggest change for more casual users will be the lockdown of compatible software.
All of the software a user downloads from the web assumes they are working on a Mac or PC running Intel. This means when you buy an ARM Mac, you will not be downloading any of that software, which might be frustrating for users. iPad and iPhone cannot download apps from the web, and the same could easily occur for the ARM Mac.
Since macOS has a bit more control over software installation, Apple will likely enable settings for users to install compatible applications from the web. It will be up to third-party developers to make their software compatible, however, and could mean a minimal third-party software for some time after launch.
If Apple is serious about an ARM transition, it will have to be behind developers all the way, and incentivize them to develop apps quickly.
If Apple restricts Mac software to the Mac App Store or makes it very hard to install from anywhere else, developers will need to offer their apps through official Apple channels. Otherwise, Apple could alienate popular developers and thus lose customers to Windows because of a lack of compatible software.

Another issue that is easily solved with licensing is Thunderbolt. Intel owns the rights to Thunderbolt and includes the necessary I/O for the ports in the Intel chipsets. Unless Apple comes up with its own version of Thunderbolt without violating patents, Apple will likely still be in business with Intel in some capacity.
Rumors point to the fall of 2020 for the first ARM Mac. The now-defunct 12-inch MacBook would make the perfect candidate for the first Mac with Apple ARM inside. Some speculate a return to the “iBook” branding for such a device since it would essentially be a MacBook running on iPad chipsets.
Reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests a spring 2021 launch is more likely, repeatedly. Whichever is true, WWDC 2020 is the last chance for Apple to talk directly to developers about such a transition before it occurs, if it occurs before next year's WWDC.
To complicate things even further, WWDC will be held remotely via the internet in 2020 amid coronavirus concerns, making the transition announcement somewhat cumbersome as no developers will be physically present.

A developer transition kit is needed, and software too, because the hardware cannot launch without any software. It is likely that an official announcement from Apple is not far off. One Twitter leaker suggests there is a 12-inch device in development at this moment, and another leaker has since followed up stating the 12-inch ARM MacBook could be the first such product.
Another rumor corroborated the existence of a device, suggesting an ARM Mac laptop of some kind would be seen sometime in 2021. This device would host a version of the upcoming A14 chipset that is slated for the 'iPhone 12.'
