The M1 in the macbook air throttles when it gets too hot due to the thermal characteristics of the case (no active cooling).

The M1 in the macbook pro is actively cooled, and does not throttle.

When additional cooling is applied after-market to the macbook air, it has the same performance characteristics as the macbook pro.

The M1 is the same in both products. It throttles when hotter. It's more likely to throttle if not actively cooled and under heavy workload. It's not clocked differently. There's no artificial constraints.

Full Motion Double High Res Video Playback on the Apple IIe
Yes, so I am happy when I see a game engine uses renpy https://www.renpy.org because this engine has a built-in TTS, some of the time the developers did not test their game with this feature but since it uses python the user can hijack the TTS and use regex to cleanup stuff and I also pipe the TTS through my own configured TTS. I see people re-implementing their own visual novel game using Unity, the result is an inferior experience in all possible ways(not only accessibility).

Latest RPG Maker can export the game as html/JS , I think people created plugins for TTS but I personally wrote my own hack code that I inject in the game and pip[e the text again into my own configuration.

There are other HTML based game engines for text based games, those are also good for accessibility because you can use your existing tools to speack the text or you can change the fonts if that helps.

For DirectX/OpenGl games I tried using OCR , this is slow and it also has big problems if the game uses "fantastic" fonts = fonts that look like handwriting or other iregular fonts.

Maybe when I will have more time I could learn how to inject code in Unity or Unreal games and attempt to detect when the code renders fonts and pipe the text out of the game.

How is all that an improvement over separate cable and port shapes?
Just anecdotally from reading about this stuff online, it's quite hard to do know and very crowded. Apparently alpha (profits uncorrelated with general market movements) generating strategies rarely last more than a few months before they stop working. This is why a lot of the hedge funds in this space (de shaw, citadel) actually end up dedicating more to discretionary (human strategies) because quant/automated ones are saturated and can't accommodate large size.

But again this is what I've gathered from reading about this stuff, maybe someone with industry experience can chip in
Brilliant! You put a big smile on my Friday face :-)
The markets did dip yesterday on the news, but to be honest the Stock Market makes no sense these days.

An important thing to consider is that there are different tax implications between Stocks (Securities) and Cryptocurrencies (Property). In crypto it makes sense to sell some coins, lock in a lower capital gains rate, and then buy right back in. That advantage isn't there for stocks. There are wash sale rules and plenty of other little profit calculation rules that apply to stocks.

Yeah, I also despair. Few people seem to have read the article, and drawn their ideologically-predisposed conclusions from the headline. Which is, of course, the point of the headline, from an ideologically-predisposed news source.

What they're actually talking about is this:

Challenges of Today’s Diplomatic Language
One more comment on this, since I now heard the exact same point from a friend and talked more about this: we don't build cities. We build villages that grow into towns, that grow into cities. There are very few exceptions like Brazilia, which has lots of issues. Generally this to me is indicative that we are thinking wrong about cities. Cities aren't like massive buildings, but more like organisms. Three best results are achieved if we allow them to grow somewhat organically.

I recommend the book Order Without Design: How Markets Shape Cities or the short podcast of the same name.
I am not arguing that the product naming is perfect, only that is not completely absurd as others claimed.

Comparing the performance of laptop and desktop is a niche case. Most people know whether they want a laptop or a desktop and then choose among those categories.

I lost many bitcoin early and predicted them to be valuable.

The issue with someone security conscious like me is that, although you can make many backups, you have to secure each of those backups. The more copies you have the more opportunities for someone to attack, so every backup needs to be fully secure.

In this day and age I expect every game to allow control remapping, certainly on PC but even on console I feel it’s warranted, to the point where I get mildly annoyed when they’re not remappable, even if I don’t intend on actually doing it.

I think a big part of that is I use colemak, so if a game uses layout-aware controls (rather that physical key location scan codes or whatever), then I can’t play with a keyboard unless I can remap it. I won’t change my layout just for a game, too much hassle (and I’ve always had weird issues about default layout when having multiple layouts setup for quick switching).

Most PC games do allow remapping these days, thankfully. Browser game’s usually don’t but I don’t tend to play them anyway.
The problem is that each documentation has its own search function, more or less efficient, each with its own quirks. Search engines are much better at finding information and they provide a consistent UI. You can search "php array sort", or "python array sort" and you'll get a link to the relevant page of the documentation.

In comparison if I search for "array sort" in the Python doc directly, the first result is about "bisect" (vaguely related but too specific) and the second about "ctypes" (unrelated), the third is "Programming FAQ" (unrelated). Not one result is the generic "Sorting HOW TO" page, which Google links to first, and which is the most useful when you want to learn about sorting in Python.
> Laplace’s demon would by definition know if Maxwell’s demon exists or not, wouldn’t it?

Potentially; however, that depends on how we define knowledge.

Similar to how Maxwell's Demon requires us to take into account information, Laplace's Demon requires us to take into account computation. In particular, we often assume "logical omniscience": that "knowing" something also implies we "know" its consequences; for Laplace's Demon, it "knows" the state of the universe (e.g. positions and velocities of every particle), so we imply that it "knows" all of the consequences (future and past) of that state.

However, logical omniscience implies a solution to the halting problem, which is a logical contradiction. We could avoid this if the Demon were a hypercomputer, but that has its own hyper-halting problems ad infinitum, and is also akin to magic, so less interesting IMHO.

If we instead assume that Laplace's Demon is computable, then the Halting Problem implies it can't "shortcut" its calculations; it has to work through the consequences one step at a time until it reaches the desired state (this is what Wolfram calls "irreducibility"). In other words, the Demon must run an exact simulation of the universe (or at least, the causally-connected part of it).

Personally, I find this quite a nice resolution to the idea of "free will". Our decisions may be completely deterministic, but figuring them out would require a perfect simulation of us; and hence, in a sense, the decision still came from (a perfect copy of) "us".
> lightweight docker containers

If you're on macOS, there's no such thing as a “lightweight Docker container”. The container itself might be small, but Docker itself is running a full Linux virtual machine. In no world is that “lightweight”.
The trouble is that the company may not own the rights to everything involved. This has been an issue for some companies that have tried to open up old games. Sometimes you have libraries, like Bink video (infamously) that are licensed and are not compatible with open licenses. There might be issues with the game engines or with assets. e.g. it's not uncommon to have music licensed for use in the game, but the rights don't include redistributing in other forms or producing something like a soundtrack. Stock music often has licenses that allow use in something like a game or movie, but disallow redistributing the file. (That was a sticking point for Bioshock Infinite: they produced their own new arrangements of some popular songs, but didn't have more costly licensing necessary to release a soundtrack.)
We had a similar thing happen with unemployment benefits in Australia [1], which arguably led to several suicides.

What device are you using that allows you to stream music but can't play from audio files you bought? I don't find the difference between spotify and MP3s that large.
FWIW, I'm reasonably sure that's exactly what does normally happen in that particular case. Police officers sometimes speak in a slightly stilted way in court here in the UK, partly because they use words carefully chosen to be statements of fact as they know them and not to draw conclusions that are a matter for the court to decide.

Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash (possibly doge coin and lite coin) all have checksums. If you are sending to an address a single character off will not work because the checksum won't line up and the address will not be valid.

If you are sending to an address you did not create, then you are sending to an address where you don't have the key anyway. If you are sending to a specific address (given by someone else or generated by you) the checksum will only line up if it is unchanged.

Ethereum does not have this as far as I know.
indeed. fortunately bluebrixx is now attempting to get the lego 3d design mark of their minifigures invalidated. not because bluebrix wants to sell minifigure clones, but because lego is using their 3d mark as basis for their claim that any other minifigures even dissimilar ones would violate that mark. bluebrix believes that they have a good chance to be successful.
I have never liked the term 'buy' on anything with DRM. This isn't really an Apple problem so much as an industry problem. I think 'license' would be a better term.

When it comes to Apple specifically, they really need to let iOS users know that they need to back up DRMed movies, shows, and books. I know some iOS-only users who are under the impression that they will forever be able to redownload these items. In reality, there is no of guarantee of that, as Apple may might not hold distribution rights at some point in the future.
But why not 16G? It's a small price increase compared to base and it would basically make it much more usable in any extended amount of time, especially given the SSD write 'bug' that were exposed.

I think that’s because 99% of regular computer tasks don’t need 24 cores operating at 5 billion cycles per second.

The differences between an i7-4xxx and i7-11xxx are more about hardware acceleration, eg HEVC and SIMD. That’s why they look so much better in benchmarks that are designed with that in mind.

My main desktop is an unRAID server that hosts multiple VMs. Only yesterday I discovered that I accidentally only gave Windows four (of my 16) cores. Literally 3/4 of the processor was unused for months, and I didn’t notice any slow performance the entire time.
Except there's no guarantee your phone will even contain a payload. Just the chance that some devices may have it, and there's no way to know for certain. And if they take in even one phone to scan that carries the exploit, it can make past, current and future evidence rendered untrustworthy. It's herd immunity via the prisoner's dilemma.

Sounds like a sensible strategy.

Although I prefer the “buying and then selling at a higher price”-approach.

At my former job, the dev team wasn't allowed to use a formatter, so people would often commit code that would be off by a space or three. Similar to the post, I got into the habit of detecting these with this:

There were cases where the backend would generate a stack trace, but HTML-format it in a response that was not expecting HTML. I could select and delete them with this, which would make the results instantly more readable:

> Royalty-free blanket patent licensing is compatible with Free Software and should be considered the same as being unpatented.

I agree 100%, and am not the person arguing that patent-encumbered technology is incompatible with free software or bad in any way.

The point of my unpopular post is simply that making a decision based on whether a technology is patent-encumbered makes zero sense in this case since all of them are.
I've given it two; so far, so good.

Though, I have made the transition to GOG where possible. but with so many games requiring online activation, I've accepted modern games might not have a long shelf life.

Two years ago when I got the Lenovo e590 (Intel Core i5-8265U), I benchmarked running the unit tests of my project on it. (though I didn't really intend on using the e590 for development)
I compared against my old desktop from 2010 (1st-gen Core i5-750).

Turns out that the old desktop won by a solid 10% margin! A whole decade of new Intel generations still can't make up for the disadvantage of using a mobile CPU.

P.S. The e590 barely survived 2 years and is dead now (broken USB-C charging port).
Did anyone else think this was going to be about algebraic roots?

The complex numbers are famously the algebraic closure of the reals, but I find myself wondering lately if there is a related thought which doesn’t privilege them over the hyperbolic numbers or the dual numbers.

Sure. But does Apple's CPU engineering team have the capacity to work on variants?

Perhaps they instead prioritise working on a faster M2, and M1 becomes the low end CPU, similar to what they have done with the A series processors?
