salsa_catsup··on Patrick Stewart has died
The TNG episode "The Inner Light" is profound. I didn't expect it in Star Trek.
salsa_catsup··on Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude
It's amazing with all these GPUs they still can't apparently simulate biochemistry enough to search for drugs via simulation. I wonder if that is theoretically possible or if it's one of these things were we'd need more chips than there are electrons in the universe...
salsa_catsup··on I don't understand quantum physics (2018)
I don't understand the superdeterminism idea. Wasn’t that already the classical/Newtonian view - that everything was predetermined, a universe of billiard balls following their destiny exactly?
salsa_catsup··on Open-source version of Adobe Creative Suite, built with Rust, using AI
Yes, all I have to do is show them all my intellectual property and let them upload it to their servers, and they will "help" me, and then mysteriously be able to tell others how to duplicate two years of my work in 45 minutes.
salsa_catsup··on Open-source version of Adobe Creative Suite, built with Rust, using AI
If this is possible, my career as a programmer is now trash. F--- AI.
salsa_catsup··on Nvidia announces native GPU programming in Rust
Does this mean I can write shaders in Rust for use with WGPU or Vulkan?
salsa_catsup··on Stabilizing Rust's Never Type
Is this so central, that it justifies the use of a single ascii char? Instead of, say, `Never`?
salsa_catsup··on The largest electric aircraft just flew [video]
Energy density of liquid fuel, with efficiency of electric motor => fuel cells. ? I guess they've given up on those for some reason.
salsa_catsup··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
I should have done this with my 2020 Intel Macbook Pro. Now it's basically unusable and spins rainbow wheels constantly, because the OS is apparently garbage for an Intel system.
salsa_catsup··on Racket v9.3
Is Racket the Lisp where I wanted to write keywords like `foo:` or `:foo`, but they went with something like `'#:foo`, which ruined keyword syntax for me?
salsa_catsup··on Magnitude 7.4 Earthquake – 5 km S of San José del Palmar, Colombia
Twitter has videos of people getting crushed (probably dead) by falling facade as they try to exit the building. I guess it's still considered smart to try to exit your building in a quake? Maybe it depends on the building.
salsa_catsup··on Claude Opus 5
Nerds should stop giving away their work by open sourcing it, or letting AI see it. All you're doing is helping them create your replacement. Stupid nerds.
