   It goes far beyond smells, in ways I find deeply unsettling

   We can induce religious experience, see "The God Helmet"

   or deep depression & suicidal thoughts

   Symplectic integrators are the approach I used for some old galaxy simulations. Page 5 on the attached paper was my main reference, eq 22 https://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0110585 I believe this is used in several academic codes for long term N-body calculations.

   This looks really cool. An application I would use this for is to generate code for FPGAs, as finite state machines are very common.

   This is an example, https://terostechnology.github.io/terosHDLdoc/docs/guides/st...

   But it only outputs an SVG, and there are no tools (AFAIK) that go from diagram to code, which should easy to setup.

   So I'd consider extending this to both generate code and read in code and make these nice interactive diagrams.

   Hello? We have 17(!) federally funded national labs, full of scientists doing the work this article waxes nostalgic about. Through the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program they afford employee scientists the ability to pursue breakthrough research. However, they are facing major reductions in funding now due to the recent CR and the upcoming congressional budget!

   This has piqued my interest, which vendors are using an open source stack?

   I recently made the switch to linux full time as well. Even small things, like my computer taking three seconds from clicking Shutdown to turning off, is such a relief compared to Win11.

   That's very cool! Here's another cool application for nuclear arms control, https://www.nature.com/articles/nature13457

    attrs looks interesting, can it be used in workflows for processing GBs of data? I don't see any Cython compatibility or other Python to compiled code options. I typically just get by with numpy recarrays, but I'm old fashioned and looking for something more modern.

    It's not even years of precedent, they contradicted themselves on this decision today in their separate ruling on allowing public sleeping bans. Roberts said "Why would you think that these nine people are the best people to judge and weigh those policy judgements?". SCOTUS follows tradition when it suits their lobbied interests, and disregards tradition if it contradicts them.

    Can this be used to help design math functions for FPGA designs, using VHDL or Verilog?

    Thank you for this comment. I also had a prolactinoma, but haven't been disciplined about taking my cabergoline .. been stuck in a rut as well. Now I'm motivated to get this sorted with my doctor finally.

    I have similar thoughts in my mind while reading this. In that vein, I'd be interested to know what the 'worst case' prediction for sea level rise is, including the effects listed in the article on the Thwaites glacier; a 1 foot sea level rise in X years?

    More C stuff, I really enjoy learning these fundamentals using C. I did your game physics course in C and really enjoyed it. I'll be taking this course to learn more about 3D graphics and C together.

    Yep, I develop several applications that use CUDA. I see AMD/Radeon powered computers for sale and want to buy one, but I am not going to risk not being able to run those applications or having to rewrite them.

    If they want me as a customer, and they have not created a viable alternative to CUDA, they need to pursue this.

    Very nice. I'll list a feature I've always wanted but haven't seen on timezone converters.

    A map of timezones, which will either highlight the location entered, or allow you to select the timezone.

    Saves a few keystrokes.

    Would you be comfortable with testing being done near where you live?

    Why not? And where would you propose instead?

    How do you know this?

    Also, I downvoted your comment because 'virtue signalling' is non-sense phrase.

    I just worked through making a 2D physics engine via Gustavo Pezzi's course on pikuma.com

    Seeing shapes collide, bounce, roll, and understand exactly what was happening in the code I wrote was a huge confidence booster.

    That is quite interesting .. so I should be able to run my cuda accelerated programs on AMD and Intel devices then, correct?

    For anyone interested in making games at a lower level, Gustavo Pezzi's course on pikuma.com is an excellent resource. Just finished the one on game physics and I learned a ton.
