I saw a shorter version of this on Facebook that starts 38 seconds into it. I found it impressive.

Centaur Smart Chess Set
https://store.moma.org/kids/toys-games/centaur-smart-chess-set/8910-146914.html
BTW, at the Columbus Chess Club last night I helped a guy named Paul Chestnut use his new chess computer. This thing is pretty interesting. It typically sells for about $450. The board can sense where you move the pieces. Want to start a new game? Just set the pieces back to the beginning. Want to take back one or more moves? Just move in reverse. You can take back the computer's move and play a different move for the computer, which might be useful if you want to play against a specific opening, or if you want to analyze.
There are circular lights under each square that highlight where the computer wants to move.
The pieces are the same size as my nice $35 chess pieces, although my pieces aren't as tall as some brands. The board is just barely smaller than a standard tournament board, which makes for a pleasant playing experience. The pieces and the board seem like they are made of lightweight plastic. The pieces don't have much weight to them except that I think that they have a magnet on the bottom. Underneath the board, there is no covering over the electronics that sense the movement of the pieces, so overall this device feels cheaply made.
There is a small screen that shows what position the computer thinks is on the board, which is helpful in case something got mixed up. It can also display a chess clock.
All the brains seem to be on the narrow right side panel. I suspect that it is using something equivalent to a phone processor, or maybe something cheaper. It is running Stockfish, which potentially makes it a very strong chess computer.
Unfortunately, it only has 3 modes of difficulty. There is "Friendly" that tries to automatically adjust to your level, however, Paul and I playing together lost to this mode. There is "Challenge" that tries to be tougher, and then there is "Expert". Given that it is running Stockfish, this "Expert" mode probably plays like a strong Grandmaster or better. The Stockfish program running on a desktop computer is far better than any human player.
An ideal chess program would allow you to set the playing ability by ELO rating, which for computers can go up to about 3600. My rating is around 2000. Magnus Carlsen is rated 2847. Ideally, it could also go down to zero.
The Fastest CPU on the Planet - HOLY $H!T
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbiPapykbxQ
It is not necessary to watch the whole video, but for comparison purposes...
The Apple M1 chip: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Apple+M1+8+Core+3200+MHz&id=4104
This $8,000 CPU: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+EPYC+7763&id=4207
I've never seen a number that high.
BTW, I don't know who sold the computer to my mother, but her computer only has a benchmark of 300. That is worse than most *old* laptops. That is worse than budget smartphones. Still, the computer can browse the Internet just fine, which is what she uses it for.

House littered with computers
This is an update to an article I wrote 2 years ago...
Around 1984 there was an article with a prediction that went like this: "Someday you will throw away computers. Your house will be littered with them. You will get computers in cereal boxes." Thirty-seven years ago, that day seemed like it would be pretty far off.
How exactly has this prediction faired? Well, how many computers do I own? Here is the list...
1. One of the more powerful computers in my home is my iPhone 6s+. It is a powerful computer masquerading as a phone. I bought a second one when the wi-fi on the first failed, so technically I have two. I also have a couple of older iPhones in storage. These could easily be thrown out since they are not very useful anymore.
2. I have an iPad 4. The only reason I bought it was because my iPad 2, which I loved, was stolen when someone broke into my home in Salt Lake City. However, I don't really have much of a need for it. The iPads were originally touted as book readers to compete with the Amazon Kindle tablets, but I don't think that reading books on a full-size iPad is a great experience. You can do all the normal internet stuff with them, but I have plenty of devices that can do that. I think that my iPad's best use is to play audiobooks.
3. About 11 years ago I bought a Microsoft Tablet on a Black Friday sale for $200 because this seemed like a fantastic deal at the time. At the time, it probably was. However, this has been the most useless piece of crap that I own. One could use it to browse the internet and read email, but it is way out of date, and it was never very useful to begin with. It is less pleasant to hold than an iPad. I doubt that I can get any software for it.
4. Recently, I bought an Amazon Fire Tablet, normally $150, for $80 on a Black Friday sale. It is a pretty nice tablet, but there is not anything I can do with it that I can't do on other devices. I bought it so that I could attempt to write Android apps and test them on the tablet.
5. I'm typing this on my 2017 27" iMac. This is a replacement for my late-2009 iMac that has several problems, such as the display repeatedly shutting off. I occasionally still use this machine just for analyzing chess games, which is processor intensive, although my new iMac is plenty capable of doing that.
6. Four years ago I was given a Raspberry PI 3, which is a very cheap small computer the size of a deck of cards. It can run Linux and do normal computer stuff, although it is not very powerful at all. However, I configured it to be a game emulation box that can be hooked up to my TV.
Newer, more powerful versions of the Raspberry PI are available.
7. I own both a NES Classic Edition and a Sony PlayStation Classic. These are both game emulation boxes. Both are good for playing games and both can be hacked to play even more games.
8. I bought three Arcade1up machines. These are 3/4 scale arcade games that you assemble yourself. They are essentially emulation boxes that come with classic arcade games. I like my Star Wars Arcade game the best.
9. Back in the early 2000s, I bought a joystick that can be hooked up to an old-style TV and it plays 10 classic games. As a game system it is not that good, but I still occasionally use it because it does a great job with one game in particular, which is Pole Position.
10. I have an old Sega Genesis with some cartridges that I plan on selling. Over thirty years ago the 68000 processor in the Genesis was considered a mainstream computer processor. I have seen really old mainframe computers that cost a fortune that used this processor. By the 1990s the 68000 processor was only really used in game systems.
11. I was able to fix an old laptop that I gave away to a chess player in need. Then I was able to purchase a refurbished laptop very cheap that is vastly superior. This computer proved very helpful as a backup computer while my iMac was in the shop, but otherwise, I don't really need a laptop anymore.
So I count 18 computers. My house *is* littered with computers, some of which I could easily throw away.
I am not going to count the three electronic chess clocks that I own. I don't know if they use a CPU or just dedicated logic chips.
I didn't count the Star Wars Storm Trooper Robot that I got in a package deal with my Star Wars arcade game. This device can interface with your smartphone and play games. I have been trying to sell it for a year.
I also didn't count my robot vacuum cleaners. I own two, one of which is broken. I have had these for well over a decade, and the one that works is starting to have problems.
If you own a calculator, which I don't, it has either a 4-bit or an 8-bit processor inside. It is also a computer, although very limited.
As far as getting computers in cereal boxes, I saw a little handheld game that came in a 2007 cereal box. It was pretty primitive, probably using a 4-bit processor.

The price of Flash drives
Five years ago I wrote:
I think that the first flash drive I owned was either 128 or 256 megabytes. Later I would get a 512 because I had a computer that could record television and I could fit a single program on a 512, which at the time seemed impressive. Now you can purchase 128 gigabyte (128,000 megabyte) flash drives for under $30.
I remember 1-gigabyte drives costing like $90. When my company gave me one I felt privileged. Now you can't even buy them, and no one would want one anyway.
When the IBM computer came out with its first hard drive in the mid-1980s, it was only 5 megabytes and cost a fortune.
----
Now it is possible to buy a 1TB flash drive for around $180 to $200. However, there seem to be a bunch of cheap ones for sale that are fake.
For $15 to $60 you can get 128GB to 512 GB flash drives which are a better deal.

A specific network name can completely disable Wi-Fi on your iPhone - 9to5Mac
Using "%p%s%s%s%s%n" for your wifi network name is probably an attempt to hack the phone. These characters are used inside computer languages to format text. Using codes like this is usually an attempt to create a bug on the device, which it did. The device read the name and then did something with it that it wasn't supposed to do.

NVidia+ARM: Everyone's got it wrong
There is a huge computer processor hardware war going on right now. I'm going to try to be as accurate as I can here...
Since most software is written for Microsoft Windows, people were forced to use x86 chips, which are mostly made by Intel, except for AMD which has a license going back to the 1980s to make x86 clone chips.
Intel has been falling behind AMD. They were slow to release chips with smaller than 14-nanometer circuits, with the latest offering using 10 nanometers. However, AMD has already released 7-nanometer chips with plans to release 5 and 6 nanometer chips soon.
There is a 30+ year war over design philosophy. The x86 chips have huge instruction sets, called Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC), making them more versatile. However, in the late 1980s, ARM starting developing Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processors that could run more efficiently by limiting the instruction sets to what was most important. RISC chips typically run faster while using less power, making them ideal for mobile devices.
ARM RISC chips recently have caught up and even surpassed most x86 chips. Apple developed their own versions of ARM chips for their mobile devices that were starting to rival desktop processors. Then Apple stunned everyone by releasing their ARM-based 5-nanometer M1 processor for their new laptops and lower-end computers. The M1 chip is surprisingly powerful rivaling some of the best x86 chips while using far less energy. The M1 processor can also run many Apple x86 programs using emulation while still maintaining strong performance.
Reportedly Apple has plans to release much more powerful versions of the M1 chip for their high-end computers.
The x86 oligopoly is starting to fade. Microsoft has released versions of Windows that can run on ARM processors, although these are not compatible with x86 programs. There have been ideas around for a long time that have started to emerge again, such as Just In Time Compilation, and Virtual Machines such as Java that will allow software to be developed that can run on different kinds of hardware. In addition, many companies are starting to make software for both x86 and ARM.
With Nvidia acquiring ARM for 40 billion dollars, they are looking to become the new dominant chip manufacturer.

There's a Hole at the Bottom of Math - YouTube
The first three minutes of this video talk about "The Game of Life." This computer simulation was very popular in the early days of computing with the first personal computers going all the way back to 1975 when I first saw it. Since early computers weren't capable of much of anything, this computer simulation was an interesting program that could be run on primitive computers.

Fwd: Happier times, maybe
Google Chrome and their blog service have been going crazy lately. Google Chrome completely blocked my chess opening blog as a "phishing website." They claimed that it was "dangerous." I contacted Google and it no longer seems to be a problem. In addition, the image and text below were sent to one of my blogs, and Google's Blogspot service notified me that they deleted it because of "virus and malware."

Our family used to go to this place, and I loved it. I remember the food being pretty good. Sometime between 1974 and 1977, while I was in Jr. High School, there was a tornado that hit Columbus, Indiana. I remember it well. It tore the roof off of the King's Table building while people were inside dining. The restaurant reopened (I think) but eventually went out of business. That location is now a gas station.

Not impressed with new iMacs.
Apple tends to introduce new models, sometimes taking away features like ports and memory, and then charge at least $200 more for the new computer compared to the previous model.
Compared to my used 2017 27" iMac with a 5K display that I paid $1,050 for, the new iMacs have ...
A smaller 24" 4.5K display. (4K is overkill on this size display.)
Only 8 gigs of RAM. (This is not really enough.)
Is non-upgradeable. According to one source, you can't even fix them. Maybe Apple can fix them.
Fewer ports.
A crappy Apple keyboard and crappy "magic mouse."
The M1 processor that is over twice as fast.
Costs at least $250 depending upon the model.
The M1 processor is a mobile processor, but it outperforms most desktop processors. On the high-end CPU list, the M1 is almost halfway down, but my Intel i5 7500 is close to the bottom.
My 2017 iMac came with 8 gigs of RAM, but I added 32 gigs. That is overkill because a total of 16 to 24 gigs is plenty.
If I wanted an M1 processor then I would buy a Mac Mini for under $700 and then configure the peripherals the way I wanted.
It is possible to upgrade the processor on my iMac, at some cost, but I am thinking of doing that.

Meta Human looks amazing
I have thought for a long time that digital actors in movies were inevitable. I have mentioned in the past that we might be able to recreate dead actors. Online I suggested that your gaming console might be able to play a realistic 3D-generated movie, although I am not sure how that is any better than pre-rendered videos.
The same people who made all the AT&T "You will" commercials in the early 90's more recently predicted that in the future that the distinction between movies and games will blur. In a way, this is already happening.

Why does Apple still sell this absolutely terrible Mac?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRhYzEImuu8
It does not surprise me that Apple would sell people a crappy computer for $1,100. I also hate the idea of a 21.5-inch display.
He points out that for $1,100 you can buy a used 2017 27 inch quad-core iMac. I paid $1,050 for mine almost 2 years ago.

CPU? GPU? This new ARM chip is BOTH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXhlDt2SD8o
This video is over a year old. Cutting to the chase, some of the features of this advanced chip can be found in Apple's more recent M1 chip that is a bit of a technological revolution: Put CPU cores, GPU cores, and ultra-fast RAM onto a single chip, along with specialized compute sections for things like video rendering, and the result is a single chip that uses much less power while delivering more performance. In the near term, this is probably the future of computing.
One of the advantages of being one of the richest companies in the world is that you can spend more on R&D.
Apple's low-end computers, like the M1 Macbook Air or the M1 Mac Mini, deliver a lot of computer power for the money.

The SMARTEST Thing About USB
The early days of "Plug and Play" weren't so much plug and play. Usually, you had to install the drivers. Six months ago I had a driver problem with my new 1 gigabit Wi-Fi (actually about 600 Mbs.) I spent days trying to fix this, but a program called "Driver Easy" helped me to fix it. This program will install drivers for you if you pay for the program, otherwise, it will tell you which driver to install. I had to an Internet search to figure out how to install the driver. I actually tried multiple drivers until I found one that worked well.
That was only in Windows mode. When I boot my computer in Mac mode it had no problems. In fact, Mac mode is still a little faster with the Wi-Fi.

The Google Stadia Disaster Is Even Worse Than We Realize
https://youtu.be/zfv3o2ovwww
Thirty years ago a coworker predicted that streaming games would be inevitable. His reasoning was that internet speeds would be fast enough eventually to stream any video to your PC. I thought that this was a horrible idea then, and I think that it is a horrible idea now. What could possibly be the benefit? Offloading the compute power to a server means that I am competing for that power with everybody else. I would rather pay $500 for a console and know that I can play games anytime, rather than $100 for a special controller because I think that I can save a few bucks. The Netflix of Gaming is going to be like Microsoft's subscription game service. No matter how much the internet improves, home hardware still will become more powerful and possibly cheaper. I was around in the early days of computers when you had to use a dumb terminal to dial into some mainframe. It is far better to have your own hardware.

An American Original - Timex/Sinclair
In the early days of computing and videogames, magazines devoted to specific systems were very popular. By 1986, the Sinclair and Timex-Sinclair lines of computers were a dying brand, but they had a very devoted set of followers, of which I was one. The primary feature of the Timex-Sinclair 2068 computer was its relatively low price of $200. Compare that to the Commodore-64 introduced in 1983 at $595, which is around $1600 in today's dollars. Other brands of computers were higher. Most of these were way too cost-prohibitive for me, so I went with the cheapest model, but I happened to very much like the brand.
I did an internet search for a videogame I wrote in 1985/1986 called, "Diamond Mike". I found a magazine that I had completely forgotten about where I had a quarter-page ad on page 34 for the game, along with another quarter page of products that I was selling, most of which I don't remember selling. I think that I had entered into some kind of partnership with another company to sell their products. The wording of the ad looks somewhat unprofessional like it was written by me, which it was, but this was typical of these relatively obscure magazines of the time. I think that I had the advertisement typeset by a professional printer because in those days we didn't have modern computers to help us do that. The game was in color, but the magazine was black and white, so the advertisement is Black and White.
The magazine did a "review" of the game on page 4. Essentially they were scratching my back for buying advertising. The wording of the "review" isn't that different from my advertisement, and they also said a few nice words.
The graphics capabilities of the 2068 computer were not as quite good as the more expensive brands, and since I did my own artwork and I am by no means an artist, the graphics of the game are pretty basic. This was typical for many computer games of the time. What I could do well is write efficient code in "machine language", which is the internal language of the CPU chip. An honest review of my game would have said that it was an imitation of another game called "Boulder Dash", but when "Boulder Dash" was ported to the 2068 computer months later, its code ran too slow. They didn't do a good job on the port. They should have gotten me to write the game.
This kind of work eventually led me to get a job in the videogame industry.

Nintendo is "working without stopping" on its next new console after Switch | GamesRadar+
https://www.gamesradar.com/nintendo-is-working-without-stopping-on-its-next-new-console-after-switch/
There have been rumors of this since 2019, but Nintendo repeatedly denied that they were working on a new system. Ironically, the Nintendo Switch, which is a low-power portable tablet has been outselling the new ultra-powerful systems from Microsoft and Sony.
Hypothetically, if Apple were to put their new M1 chip into a portable game system, it would be remarkably powerful. The chip should be better than anything Nintendo can get their hands on. I have heard rumors that Apple might do something like this. Even their latest phones should make for a powerful game system.
