Last I heard about Mac gaming, games had to support Apple's proprietary Metal graphics API, so a game can't run on anything else.

Apple are trying to throw their weight around and forcing developers to go Mac exclusive like they do with iThings, but Mac users are such a tiny segment nobody bothers.

It's funny how that goes: elements that react violently often form strong bonds, so make stable and safe compounds.

It was life changing when I realised uBlock Origin can block whatever I want from web pages and not just ads.

All the links at the right of an article, headers and menus that want to continue occupying screen space after I've scrolled down, the entire comments section on some pages. Bam, gone.

Pages with cookie banners that don't have a one-click reject all button? Just block the banner.

Instead of running a magnetic tape over the cassette player's sensor, you put an electromagnet on it powered by the headphone jack. The cassette player just reads the magnetic field and doesn't know any difference.

Fake resolution has it's place, the problem is when Nvidia pressures reviewers to put its cards running a fake resolution against other cards running native resolution on benchmark charts.

Wait, what? There's a 'don't die in the rain' mode you have to set?

It's how every manufacturer starts, though. Sell at a loss until you can achieve the volume you need to bring costs down. "strong growth in EV deliveries as losses narrow" means this is exactly what's happening.

Nobody's going to buy your first car for 100 million dollars so that you can be profitable from day 1.

"How did the world end, Grandpa?"

"Well, it all started with this fucking gorilla."

I mean, he's also legally obligated not to rape people but that doesn't seem to bother him.

Now do Amazon. Are warehouse workers allowed to pee yet?

It generates an answer that looks correct. Actual correctness is accidental. That's how you wind up with documents with references that don't exist, it just knows what references look like.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

 

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.
