Institutions are prepared to trade and hedge very rapidly and so can play hot potato until the last second, even when shadows loom in the near future, and these institutions dominate market trends.

Stock market behavior is no longer an effective way to forecast the future of an economy or industry, and retail trading is basically just a set up to be the last one holding that hot potato when things turn.

"Goyslop" as an insult is less about anti-semitism and more about how Jews are allegedly injecting anti-white multiculturalism (ex: DEI) in entertainment.

So things that are woke get called goyslop (as opposed to Jewish as you imply).

This was always "lawsuit as press release", and despite the fact that I may agree that how OpenAI essentially morphed into a for-profit entity was dubious, Musk looked a bit ridiculous when it came out that he was essentially just butt hurt that he didn't get to take control of OpenAI under Tesla.

Mistral AI raises $640M at $6B valuation
> At a minimum, the next version of RP2040 needs to include on-board Flash / on-board programming. This is something _every_ project needs (RP2040 needs to run its code off of _something_ anyway). The fact that it ships flash-free is incredibly absurd to me at least.

You might get your wish there with their next chips, their last investor report revealed that it will be the "RP235x family". Based on the naming scheme they established with the RP2040 that would be two Cortex-M3 cores with ~512kb RAM, and the "X" placeholder being the amount of onboard flash where the RP2040 had a "0" for "no flash", so that implies there will be a range of models with different amounts of integrated flash.

Equal treatment and tolerance.. Ever since I started transitioning, people have treated me much worse, and I live in a so called liberal city. My pharmacist looks at me like I'm a freak. I've had slurs thrown at me several times while I'm just out minding my business. Half my family wont even... I don't know what parallel universe you live in where people are treated like this equally..

Where do you find all this time to hate on a group you don't even remotely understand? I'm happier than I've ever been and it seems like all of yall are making it your business to make that as miserable as possible.
Okay. I've built it.

It is more math heavy than Chemical and Biomedical heavy. Many chapters and exercises can be wholly devoid of Chemical or Biomedical applications.

I'd say it's more of a "maths you might use in Chemical and Biomedical applications" book.

For the sake of answering my own question, there is one Exercise that deals with a narrow application of protein folding, specifically, forced protein unfolding, in Chapter 3 Differentiation.

The book contains lots of code to use.

Significant focus on using libraries: scipy, numpy, et al; rather than rolling one's own implementation leans it toward high level application knowledge rather than low level intuitive understanding of the mathematical concepts it contains[1].

The exercises come with excellent and thorough solutions.

A couple of related questions:

- It has been claimed that several GPU vendors behind the covers convert the SIMT programming model (graphics shaders, CUDA, OpenCL, whatever) into something like a SIMD ISA that the underlying hardware supports. Why is that? Why not have something SIMT-like as the underlying HW ISA? Seems the conceptual beauty of SIMT is that you don't need to duplicate the entire scalar ISA for vectors like you need with SIMD, you just need a few thread control instructions (fork, join, etc.) to tell the HW to switch between scalar or SIMT mode. So why haven't vendors gone with this? Is there some hidden complexity that makes SIMT hard to implement efficiently, despite the nice high level programming model?

- How do these higher level HW features like Tensor cores map to the SIMT model? It's sort of easy to see how SIMT handles a vector, each thread handles one element of the vector. But if you have HW support for something like a matrix multiplication, what then? Or does each SIMT thread have access to a 'matmul' instruction, and all the threads in a warp that run concurrently can concurrently run matmuls?
Looks amazing, love the simplicity

Does it support images? Can text clipboard items be edited on the clipboard before pasting?

Are you planning on adding snippets?

Alfred works really well for me in terms of snippets and clipboard history

Except for one use case: quick edits

For that, I end up having to paste the content somewhere, change it, (sometimes having to additionally re-copy, then paste in the final destination)

Gay rights opponents said the same about you. A gay man and a straight man had the same right to marry a woman. You denied it was equal. And a separate but mostly equal status wasn't enough for you. You demanded they call it marriage.

> Additionally, a program built for a particular distribution, or even a particular major version of a particular distribution, would not necessarily run on any other distribution or in some cases even on a different major version of the same distribution.

Not sure I understand that. Is it something specific to Swift, or is it exactly what is expected from using shared libraries?

Say my Linux distribution distributes some Swift runtime, then the corresponding Swift packages should have been built for this runtime as well. Just like when my Linux distribution distributes a libc, the corresponding packages need to be built for this libc. Right?

Still, it's cool that Swift provides static linking. But like in any language, the best IMHO is when the Linux distribution can choose how it wants to distribute a package. I tend to like shared libraries, and already Rust seems to be interfering and imposing its preferences. I am happy if Swift doesn't.
Raycast has this built in. Don't see the need to install a separate application for this purpose. Aren't such launchers mainstream already?
> shouldn’t information stand on its own despite where it comes from?

In an ideal world, sure. But the reality is that nobody can know that information is any good without confirming it, and nobody has the time to do the research necessary to confirm all of the information we get.

So it's necessary to take shortcuts, and one of the most common shortcuts is to rely on a trusted expert to have done that research for us.

But then, how do you know someone is a trusted expert if you don't personally know or have researched them?

So it's necessary to take a shortcut for that, as well, and one of the most common of those shortcuts is to rely on credentials and professional reputation.

When someone who I don't know is giving me (for example) medical information, and they have no appropriate credentials in the field, I will tend to ignore them. To do otherwise can be a ticket to kookytown.

Admittedly this is from a hobbyist perspective, but I'm hard pressed to reach for an ATmega for basically anything these days due to the RP2040, the Pico, and its clones.

> What's the reason behind their prevalence in almost every language?

More often than not it's not the caller that is responsible for handling errors/exceptions.

When you force the caller to take care of every single error, you end up with unreadable boilerplate code which hides the actual logic. There's a reason why Rust ended up with the `?` syntax sugar.

On top of that exceptions will occur. You can't pretend they won't and kill the app if they do. Again, even Rust and Go ended up adding handlers for their brain-dead panics.

Exceptions (when wielded correctly) end up simplifying your program. You develop for the happy path (mostly), and let code at the higher level of hierarchy make decisions about unhappy paths. That's how you get Erlang's supervision trees (https://erlang.org/documentation/doc-4.9.1/doc/design_princi...)
I don't accept your "just look at them" photo analysis to be any real indicator of the political leanings of the movement, especially not when these people appear to be the few opportunists in the Cupertino area who physically showed up. I will instead rely on tangible data that that suggests that these kinds of causes are propelled largely due to right-wing reactionary politics and the moral panics they cultivate.

In the United States at least, the MAGA right tends to be rather obsessed with pedophilia and child sex abuse, and use it as a cudgel to attack any politician, business, or group of people they don't like.

They call Joe Biden a pedophile, and use photoshopped images to suggest that he has a penchant for touching children. It's not true, and his dishonest accusers are the ones photoshopping children into implied sexual situations, but the lie persists because it is useful

They call Transgender people pedophiles and "groomers", and suggest that they should be forced from public life and treated like criminals, being denied any job that might put them in contact with a child. There is no evidence that queer people are any more likely than the general public to engage in child sex abuse, but the lie persists because it is useful.

They even managed to stir themselves into a frenzy with the claim that a pizza restaurant in D.C. that was popular with members of the Obama administration was actually a front for a child sex trafficking ring masterminded by Hillary Clinton. There's absolutely zero evidence for any of that, but the lie persists because it is useful.

While there are definitely people that fall for this propaganda that aren't right-wing, right-wingers make the perfect useful idiot for this kind of cause.

The people at the top of the chain. The people who made those professional looking signs. The people who run the OSEAC. They are predominately right-wing, and have political goals that are far divorced from any notion of "protecting children".

As a general rule of thumb, in America, if there is any group of people trying to convince you to give up your rights and freedoms because children are in danger, if you follow the breadcrumbs, you'll find Republicans in charge.

On a side note, for an or that wants to fight back against the exploitation of children, the Heat Initiative having a website covered with AI-generated images of children is horrible optics, given how Generative AI has become a focus on CSAM creation.

The gay retconning is strong here. Orwell has been accused elsewhere of being homophobic. Neither side has a convincing case.

Orwell was an cynical observer, not an organizer. Orwell on socialists, from "The Road to Wigand Pier":

"In addition to this there is the horrible–the really disquieting–prevalence of cranks wherever Socialists are gathered together. One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words ’Socialism’ and ’Communism’ draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, ’Nature Cure’ quack, pacifist, and feminist in England."

That book is about why socialism in England never got much traction. Yes, in the late 1940s and 1950s, the UK had "lemon socialism" - the government ended up owning the steel, coal, and railroad industries, all of which were in trouble. That was not a people's movement.

For the organizer's point of view, see Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals".[1] Alinsky is all about how to organize and win, working from the bottom. Alinsky was a labor organizer. His approach is independent of political position.

Orwell offers cautionary views, but he's too cynical to propose solutions.

I don't really see how you could litigate against dropping the headphone jack from the iPhone, which is the context of this thread.
My point is it's not useful to compare metrics of these unrelated things, where one is deadly and the other is simply undesirable but non-deadly. Because then someone with bad intentions can make the argument, like "wow drug addicts and molesters aren't so bad! the numbers of deaths are so low compared to cars so we should focus on fixing cars instead of drug addicts and molesters!". The issue with things like drug addicts and molestation aren't death but exposure to them is still mentally and physically harmful to kids.
In my opinion, exceptions should be for really exceptional situations - things you can't realistically expect and/or which just signal a programming error (e.g. a precondition being violated). They aren't usually recoverable locally and should bubble up the stack, so you can handle them at some boundary (e.g. so you can serve up a 500 page to a request without crashing the entire server for everyone).

For things that are expected to go wrong sometimes, algebraic data types (including Result types) are better. They are part of the type system, so everything you can do with types, you can do with them, including making functions parametric over whether they return an "error" or not. Exceptions need extra mechanisms so that functions can be parametric over them (e.g. Swift has "rethrows", Java has... nothing). They aren't really composable with anything else.
Espressif sell bare chips, modules with castellations for soldering to a PCB, and complete boards that typically contain a module. Some 3rd-party boards use a bare chip. Some 3rd-party boards also have castellations, as do Picos sold without pre-soldered headers. 3rd-party modules are also a thing.

Here's a pic of a module and several boards that demonstrates all of that.

This argument is however an argument from faith and not from computability perspective. Random garbage genes flipped on won't grow a leg with intricate mechanical abilities. Those abilities have to be computed somewhere and need to be useful right from the start to appear in offsprings otherwise they get eliminated as a waste. Yet everyone puts their faith in some random process instead of pinning down the concrete mechanisms how does this happen. So you basically end up forcing some idiotic faith on everyone instead of digging deep and figuring it finally out. I would be more inclined to believe if you told me that pre-adolescent brain spends 25% of its computing capacity on figuring out how to improve its body and encoding it into genes instead of trusting some random mutation (likely error-corrected) to do the heavy lifting.

There is a lot of reason to be excited about local-first and how it could enable much lower costs to build useful apps (both in terms of money and skills). AI will certainly spur that on.

But I think local-first will be of the biggest benefit to small teams of professional developers who can see local opportunities bigger corporations are missing. At least in the short term.

There are barefoot developers too, but it's not as simple as professional vs barefoot — there's a spectrum of app developers, each with their own economic rationale.

As someone who has adored Orwell a great deal in my youth I do have to say that his works are vastly overrated for as far a literally merits go.

They are popular because they offer an easy way to project your own political opinions and biases into them. They are tempting by their simplicity while offering a way to show off how intellectual your are. That thing you don't like? Literally 1984!

Again, I am saying this as someone who has been very fascinated by his works and always will be be. You can like something while recognizing its flaws. Orwell hasn't introduced anything substantial that hasn't been done better by other authors.

Some of the ideas he partially helped popularize like the concept of language shaping how we think has been pseudo-scientific nonsense that is still actively harming society today. Except instead of being applied by authoritarian regimes it is political activists that waste their energy on useless battles trying to police language. The childish idea that we could change society by changing how we speak is just too tempting .

Orwell was also not a great human being but I think it is fine to separate the author from the works.
This was my concern with building a PWA, which is why SidewaysData is a native desktop app. The downside of course is updates, but that's manageable.
Yes, UI's (physical and software) have, in a lot of cases, gone off the rails.

One of my examples is the change to the button on the side of iPhone 15 used to switch between vibration and sound-on. I press it all the time by accident just by grabbing the phone. And, often enough, I have no idea I did. So, the phone doesn't ring.

Same with the ringer volume up/down buttons. Can I disable them in the lock screen? I don't think so. Once again, the ring volume is modified and you have no clue.

The other one, which is a UI issue in the sense that there does not seem to be an obvious way to deal with it, is what happens when I connect my Plantronics single-ear headset. The volume is reduced to around 15%, which is fine. However, when I turn it off, the volume does not return to the prior setting. Which means that EVERY TIME I use the headset for a call I have to remember to raise the volume or the ringer will not be loud enough when the phone is in my pocket.

My criteria has become simple these days: If you have to google how to do something with the UI of a piece of software or hardware, something could be wrong. I am not including complex tools like Maya, Solidworks, etc. Let's call those, professional tools. Anything else just needs to make sense. Not sure how anyone thought that not restoring a phone to the pre-headset level was a good idea, or having live buttons in lock mode that you cannot disable (or at least alter the way they respond in some reasonable way).
