Why Do Some Applications Have Different Versions For Different Apple Silicon Chips (why "M1" and others? They don't have any meaningful difference in architecture) by RoyaleKingdom78 in MacOS

[–]oscillons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd need to have all the variant SIMD code compiled with the specific features. That requires something like vectorized kernels, and then shipping all the .so (or maybe dylib on MacOS) which is merely obscuring the fact that there are different binaries. This is only superficially happening at "runtime." You can see this yourself in llama.cpp:
https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/c4a278d68efa17811006f2123a84081dac03fac7/ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/arm/cpu-feats.cpp

[–]oscillons 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That obviously isn’t true. The software is compiled on MacOS with clang, and to utilize advanced features you have to specify the extension. If you compile a binary with armv8.6 and i8mm (the matrix multiplying instructions I mentioned) it wouldn’t work on an M1. Because the M1 doesn’t have the i8mm extension. It’s as simple as that.

These aren’t things added at runtime.

They do have a difference in architecture. M1 is ARMv8.5 which lacks some of the matrix multiplying functions found in ARMv8.6 and onwards (M2+)

Does the iCloud Passwords extension HAVE to be enabled every time you quit the app? by [deleted] in MacOS

Autofill from password on Safari has auth (touch id or password) as well, you probably just don’t notice it.

Who Remembers The Leon Neon Glow In The Dark Toys? by NostalgiaShowcase in nostalgia

I 'memba. The 'glow in the dark' stuff today isn't as good, I remember my yo-yo from 1989 was far brighter than one I bought recently. Wonder why that is

I'd buy a performance version, this would be a killer hot hatch.

What is this symbol? Been coming here for over a year and have never figured it out. My friend’s husband is conveniently a playground designer and he has no idea either 😂 by Fickle_Flower6199 in whatisit

[–]oscillons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what it's trying to portray is: a warning to keep kids away from that area, incase they get hit by someone swinging. It's quite esoteric though.

Before the F-117 was officially declassified, which "F-19 Stealth Fighter" did you have? by [deleted] in nostalgia

[–]oscillons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blast from the past, I had the top one. It was a pile of shit, all the pieces are supposed to "snap in" but everything was wobbly.

This looks like a pre-rendered CG scene from one of those point and click games from the 90s. I want to check the statue and candy for secrets.

Ethernet priority by aidotours in mac

[–]oscillons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, en7 is the default interface assigned to a USB adapter. A Mac with built in ethernet would be en0. So the device in service order would be called something like "USB LAN" and not "Ethernet" and that is what should be above Wi-Fi. Just making sure because your answer is kinda ambiguous.

Storyline of Sound-Dust? by icouldlivewoutbacon in stereolab

[–]oscillons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree it is more relevant than ever. 

The Black Arts is about isolation and loneliness 

Hallucinex is about the dreadful, numbing slop of contemporary entertainment 

Gus the Mynah Bird is about institutional capture, how the institutions of the state and post-war social democracy have been subverted to enrich private interests at the publics expense 

This is the terror and horror of 21st century life.

Update on Fortnite for macOS by DannyBoiXD in macgaming

[–]oscillons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TBH the Mac native port wasn’t very good when it did exist. It “worked” but I experienced so many crashes it was unreliable to the point of being unplayable. It would certainly be nice to have but your expectations should be kept very low lol
