hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

@BboyMVB yoooo do ff tactics! i love that game

also whoever invented the racing mini game is an asshole 👍🏽 Next game will either be final fantasy tactics or legend of dragoon.

Bought a ps1 for my birthday and just 100% my first game, Mega Man legends. Had a friend growing up with this game but i never got to play it fully through then so this was cool. Pretty good game especially for ps1 the only things i disliked were the camera and

Fuck

@psiloycne Pretty tough reverse engineering project that I needed done. In fact, because it was so challenging, I stopped working on a project last year (RE is not main skillset) Now? It’s actually viable

@d0nutptr what did it do?

I genuinely cannot get over the sense of amazement and wonder I feel when I return to my computer to find Claude has finished an otherwise incredibly difficult, tedious task for me.

I am excited to announce that we are officially writing a new version of Postgres. In Rust - and creating the LLVM of databases in the process. In the span of a year, we have rewritten SQLite. Keeping the compatibility, increasing its feature set. MVCC, Types, (Live) Materialized Views, among other things. In the process of doing that, we have realized: At the end of the day, what makes SQLite special is that it compiles SQL to a database-specific bytecode. So why can't we compile *Postgres* to the same bytecode? Turns out we can. I ran an experiment called pgmicro as a way to prove this hypothesis, and it works very well. It is time to make this official, and put the weight of Turso behind it. We shall give the world a modern take on Postgres. Wire compatible, but built on a new architecture. We have already heard of others wanting to extend this. MySQL? Redis? the sky is the limit. What can we do if we do for databases what LLVM did for compilers? To prove how powerful the SQLite bytecode is, we are actually running DOOM compiled to the unmodified SQLite instruction set. And because Turso runs natively in the browser, you can play the game in your browser. With the database executing it. Read the full story below! 👇

@christinaqi Congratulations :)

Storytime: When we launched 3 years ago, people warned us that data is a saturated market - that there isn't much room to innovate. But if you've touched any dataset in our industry, you'll likely disagree. The industry is broken. It's just that someone with a *very specific background* needs to fix it. Before Databento, I started a hedge fund, but it wasn't just any hedge fund: It was one of the few HFT firms built from scratch: colocation, bare-metal networking, nanosecond timestamping, custom feed handlers, low-latency systems - all of it. We built every part of the stack and saw the difference that high-quality data made in our PnL. When you built the plumbing yourself, AND you relied on it in production, AND you know how to start a business, you have the chance to build a game-changing company. Today, Databento is the fastest-growing company in our industry, precisely because we have more than just a surface-level understanding of data. This is why we decided not to sell Databento at this stage, but instead, keep innovating along our own unique path. Because we haven't peaked yet. Because we're still cooking. Because our team wants to stay. We saw the pain firsthand for nearly a decade, and we kept asking ourselves why nobody had fixed it. Eventually we realized - we should probably be the ones to do it. This milestone belongs to our customers too. You trusted us along the way, gave us candid feedback, and helped shape Databento into the platform it is today. Your support has helped prove that the industry is ready for a new standard. Thank you for giving us the chance to raise the bar in our industry.

@drewlevin @bluwunk Hmmm

@bluwunk UHHHH

Reflecting on a number of matchmaking frustrations that people have shared with me over the last few months, I’ve heard a few common frustrations. I’d appreciate it if folks who have felt the pain in this space let me know if this captures their major concerns: 1. Some people believe that offering personal performance-based loss mitigation is mostly doomed, because it creates selfish incentives that pulls a player away from exclusively focusing on helping their team maximize win expectancy. 2. Some people are frustrated with duo queue in Master not having returned. Concerns about duo queue competitive integrity largely sit in two spaces: (a) boosting people from outside/low master into GM+, and (b) the difficulty of balancing games with GM+/GM+ duos, as different duos will contribute different win expectancies in ways that feel like you’re either smashing lobbies or being forced to 2v8. 3. Master+ players feel that there is room to increase queue times if it means narrowing the within-team skill range. 4. Some players do not understand that some accounts in climbing states (e.g. high Diamond MMR, Emerald rank) are being appropriately placed in their respective lobbies on the basis of skill evaluation. This contributes to - but is not the sole or primary driver of - frustration with (3). How does that read for y’all as “here’s what’s frustrating about matchmaking right now”?

same shit

@__apf__ They must think you have great taste

someone stole my pants while I was out kayaking 🤡

@drewlevin @mibbys_ ah fuck

@mibbys_ you are maybe the seventh person who I have seen with the “[username] has liked 47 of your posts” notification, I’m pretty used to being someone’s autistic special interest atp ngl

autism special interests are so funny because why do i literally check drew levins replies everyday. not even in like a mean way i just genuinely find that guy so entertaining and funny. sorry if that’s weird @drewlevin

@NotShiRake The violin is a Jay Haide Baroque violin (ifshinviolins.com/Instruments/De…) The bow (bottom) is a a baroque-style bow I got at Ifshin that I liked. The authentic (in design / construction) bow (top) is by @pieteraffourtit !

@NotShiRake Yea I’ll consider posting some progress videos! I’ve got experience already from playing the violin throughout school, but I haven’t really touched it in 10+ years 😅 Obligatory pic of instrument

I'm finally taking violin lessons! Very excited :)

@d0nutptr It was great talking to you earlier. Very eager to start and teach you all I can! 😀

@kodder Do you know rust now 👀

@d0nutptr I am saving this for the future when I know rust.
