This is not what is happening. The CPU simply has a hardware identifier, it's not 'snitching' on anyone. This has legitimate uses, can prevent things like the external packaging of the CPU being modified and sold as something else etc.

That some provider / service is limiting access to their platform based off of this is not some libre / freedom issue. It's unfortunate and probably should be tied to something else. The computer isn't doing anything wrong here.

It is an unfortunate situation.

Agents / models don't need to "learn" about this.

When on Windows, the models default to bash / coreutils conventions until they realize it doesn't work / not available unless explicitly instructed otherwise.

Even on Mac, they tend to default to bash instead of running things in zsh.

Surface Dial is a good hardware target.

This is the wrong way to see it. If a technology gets cheaper, people will use more and more and more of it. If inference costs drop, you can throw way more reasoning tokens and a combination of many many agents to increase accuracy or creativity and such.

Do the moon viewers skew slightly older as a group because the earlier missions did not include space walking, and the walkers skew slightly younger?

Could also be impacted by fame / levels of personal income from being in one of the two distinct groups.

Not latencies, think data privacy / keeping queries and data from leaving sovereign borders. This way, if there is some local instance / everything is local than the datacenter and service are subject to local laws and regulations (and alternatively you're not subject to foriegn the laws and regulations (and agencies).

macOS used to have OpenVR support (SteamVR) around 2017 for the HTC Vive, yes, but never any OpenXR runtime as no later hmds had macOS support.

OpenGL is quite dated for VR/AR. In the Apple ecosystem they supported OpenGL 4.1 for quite some time before moving to Metal, which was announced 2 years before Vulkan.

If you spent the time developing an in house graphics API since open standards weren’t moving forward, why would you rewrite everything a second time just a few years later? Shouldn’t you expect to get a decade or two out of your existing API and only do the massive rewrite when the benefits become more substantial?

Vulkan & OpenGL applications can translate to Metal with MoltenGL and MoltenVK, respectively.

They have not done this currently. The apps are still unavailable. (6AM EST 1/20/25)

This risk could be mitigated by publishing the test.
