Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
In the positivist spirit, a philosopher or a scientist may replace “We have free will” with some determinate claim that might be supported or undermined by experimental evidence. But if we’re going to allow the experimental results, and the ambitious thesis that they support, to overthrow our everyday practices of praising, blaming, and punishing, the scientific explication had better be close enough to the everyday concept that underlies these practices. Otherwise, as Strawson—a leading critic of Carnap, and of logical positivism—objected at the time, we’re not solving a problem; we’re just changing the subject.

X11 is the protocol implemented by X Windows System while Wayland is the protocol used by Wayland Compositor. In simple terms, X Windows System and Wayland determine how your program's display will appear depending on your actions. These actions include clicking on a checkbox, moving the windows, clicking a button, etc. The X Window System is a client/server network protocol that's been put into use for a while now. X.Org Server is the free and open source implementation of the display server for the X Window System stewarded by the X.Org Foundation. Wayland is a computer protocol that specifies the communication between a display server (called a Wayland compositor) and its clients.

This sort of flexible power allocation can work well when a game is primarily CPU bound or GPU bound. But it does leave performance on the table if you’re trying to use both the CPU and GPU together to maximize compute throughput. Typically, you see that happen with compute applications, like renderers and photo processing applications. The Steam Deck doesn’t primarily target that, so it should be fine unless a game pegs both the CPU and GPU at the same time.
