Indeed, this sort of “writing with an accent” can illuminate interesting aspects of both English and the speakers’ native language that I find fascinating.
Ditto with Thai, Chinese, Lao, etc. I think Korean is the only east-asian script which uses word spacing. Given the late introduction of word spacing into writing, it’s almost more a surprise that scripts have it than don’t.
Back in the Apple ][ days, the timing for writing to the cassette port and to the speaker were identical (just poking different addresses), so you could load audio from cassette using the ROM routines to read a program from tape, then use a modified routine that wrote to the speaker address instead of the cassette port address to play back the audio at 1-bit quality. It kind of sounded like something recorded off AM radio.
I also remember a lot of experimenting with timing to try to get a simulation of polyphonic sound by trying to toggle the speaker at the zeros of sin aθ + sin bθ.
I wouldn’t trust any backtracking test with these models. Try doing a real-time test over 8 months and see what happens then. I’d also be suspicious of anything that doesn’t take actual costs into account.
Fake money is better than nothing, but one hopes that at the very least they’re correctly managing prices with the bid-ask spread, although real money would tend to influence what the actual numbers would be (small dollar amounts likely getting worse pricing, large dollar amounts potentially impacting the movement of the market).
