I've seen JuliaHub taking credit for all of Julia before. I don't think there's anything new in this article
Makes me think of the short story "With friends like these..." by Alan Dean Foster, in which one aspect of the story has people on a future Earth living what appears externally to be a very simple (maybe…
This is hosted by the Kansas City Fed [1] [2]. Do any of the other Fed banks feel jealous? Or pick fancy destinations to try to compete? [1] https://www.kansascityfed.org/research/jackson-hole-economic... [2]…
> AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty…
I am a fan of the NBA, but if LeBron and other stars start to regularly do hidden deals to avoid the salary cap, I'll drop it For context, Kawhi Leonard has been accused [1] of salary cap circumvention. When I saw this…
In what way is the prof wrong? One can be arrogant and an asshole and still right
Numberphile has a video [1] on this that I found useful for context. The SF standard has an editorial [2] by the same woman that Numberphile interviewed which was discussed here at [3]. A non-paywalled version of the…
The brainpower in the Ethereum community is impressive. As is the effort to improve and move the core tech forward
The next step is to add Tocharian to Babbel and Duolingo ;-)
I was very happy to see an "AI use disclosure" right on the title page under the abstract. It's not clear if this is solely a possible theoretical result or if it has any practical value. I.e. is it only useful on…

The move away from income taxes (typically progressive) to sales tax (inherently regressive) is a terrible step towards more economic inequality. This sort of regressive taxation is what the political right and left…
Don't tax trade, rather foreign capital gains. See https://drafts.interfluidity.com/2025/04/27/how-can-taxing-f...

I guess "IR" is "intermediate representation" while "MLIR" [1] ("Multi-Level Intermediate Representation") is an IR from Chris Lattner/LLVM that is designed to be modular and extensible. For the uninitiated, I think [2]…
I did not see _alternator_'s comment as asinine. I like a venue where people who have some expertise feel comfortable enough to share it, and are not criticized for doing so
Great visualization! I'm no soccer/football expert, but it seems to me that the most common TV camera shots are from the sideline at midfield. The (effective) camera for these shots are from high above one corner of the…
For Ingalls Wilder, see the following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Ingalls_Wilder#Political...
That's an enjoyable read!
Mark Twain is America's Homer One aspect of Huckleberry Finn (the novel) that I think is relevant today is the spectacularly stupid zero-sum conflict between the Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons. It seems relevant to…
