Disagree with your disagreement. I also have an M1 and was a quite early adopter (within 3 months of launch). It was really snappy compared to my Intel Air it replaced. From the get-go. Even for apps that were still x86 code.
Things definitely improved over the next 9 months, but I was and am a really happy camper.
This is exactly the answer.
I’d just expand on one thing: many systems have multiple apps that need to run at the same time. Each app has its own dependencies, sometimes requiring a specific version of a library.
In this situation, it’s very easy for one app to need v1 of MyCleverLibrary (and fails with v2) and another needs v2 (and fails with v1). And then at the next OS update, the distro updates to v2.5 and breaks everything.
In this situation, before containers, you will be stuck, or have some difficult workrounds including different LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings that then break at the next update.
Using containers, each app has its own libraries at the correct and tested versions. These subtle interdependencies are eliminated and packages ‘just work’.
What have things come to that we are now gendering poor little Bobby Tables?
Exactly. And all the core internet encryption and signing algorithms are fully open source. Eg RSA, AES, DIffie Helman. And these are the algorithms the US (and most other western) governments require when sending data to or from or within there servers.
Which, will also hurt the call center manager, until they hire enough staff to answer the fucking phones in less than 30 minutes.
There’s lox to unpick there
It’s all software, even the stuff on the graphics cards. Those are the rasterisers, shaders and so on. In fact the graphics cards are extremely good at running these simple (relatively) programs in an absolutely staggering number of threads at the same time, and this has been taken advantage of by both bitcoin mining and also neural net algorithms like GPT and Llama.
If you are anxious about the processing of words, most definitely this is possible, but I am 100% not saying that it is definitely the cause of your problems.
You are right now highly self-conscious that you might have a crippling brain condition. Also, every time you say something or write something down, you are also monitoring yourself to check out whether it continues to be true or getting worse. In so doing, you might be suffering this effect due to the anxiety that this is causing - you mind is so much more focused on the fear than on the word, which confirms that the word is somehow different in your head now.
And the Greeks took it from the Phoenicians where it was Alep Bet (almost identical to the Hebrew Aleph Beth).
And these are words that start with the sound of the letter. Aleph means Ox and Beth is house.
That is a very good question and may help trace where the monologue ‘sounds’ in the brain. It would also be interesting if this were done on sign-language speakers.
The mental pathway from reading to idea to utterance goes through several portions of the brain:
One interesting thing that suggests it would work was where the author stated i) it was better for verbs than nouns and ii) it would often pick a similar, related word rather than the actual one being read.
This suggests that (at least part of) what is being detected is the semantic idea rather than the phoneme encoding or the muscle rehearsal portions of the brain.
It might be useful to consider Leibnitz’s take on the Euthyphro Dilemma
“is good and just because God wills it or whether God wills it because it is good and just”.
Considering that, it is clear that morals cannot come from religion
Many people worked hard within the current hierarchy or system to attain power. They essentially invested their time, resource or energy for this gain over a lifetime. Progressives want change to the existing power heirarchies and systems. That change nullifies the lifetime investment. That’s why there is such institutional resistance to progressives.
The camo netting wouldn’t work on a ship this size.

Here’s the official notice from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

This is a humiliating order - I’ve never seen anything like this in 20+ years in Singapore.
apples to apples
Well, technically all those computers are Apples, so they’re within their rights
Surely that is reserved for QA!
