Claude Status Page vs Whole Foods Three Pepper Blend Who wore it better?

A small step for a hobby logic designer, but a giant leap for @tinytapeout. The first official RISC-V uLinux ASIC, yes, ASIC, you heard that right, is operational and functional. Just dabbling in chip design as a hobbyist. Haha, what an awesome achievement! Thanx to @matthewvenn @UriShaked @tnt4all Rebellmike troyburn @PsychogenicTech #tinytapeout #chipdesign #verilog #130nm #Skywater #yosys #openlane @WokwiMakes #logicDesign #logicDestroyer

@moarbugs or more generally, better understand what Rust solves

@moarbugs Not a pl educator, but learning C first and dealing with the pain of segfaults will make you appreciate Rust more. I think that's invaluable when learning Rust

PL educators: when should we introduce Rust to students? Asking for a colleague with a teenage kid who knows a bit of Python (and maybe Racket?). Is it important to learn something like C/C++/Java to understand static typing, memory layouts, etc. first or just dive in to Rust?

@crymmt @graham025 @eigenrobot x.com/i/status/20443… yes in this post, you can easily guess almost all the pronunciations of the elements

@graham025 @eigenrobot this isn’t really true. most characters have some phonetic component.

the chinese script is an outrageous civilizational curse. they might have conquered the world if they'd developed a phonetic alphabet

@graham025 @eigenrobot Chinese characters are actually very phonetic

The most interesting thing I’ve learned about Chinese-type character writing is that being non-phonetic is a feature, and that’s fundamentally inherent You do not have to speak Han Chinese to understand what it says. The characters will mean the same thing no matter what language you speak. There are no dialects. It’s a universal writing system, yet not really a verbal language put to paper. Strange stuff

ig assuming it means the boxes are **all** labeled incorrectly, there are only 2 3-cycles in S_3, namely (123) and (132). So pick from the box labeled apple/orange, and you can deduce which of the two possible permutations it is

Recently reminded of a beloved line from Terrence Tao's blog: "At a purely formal level, one could call probability theory the study of measure spaces with total measure one, but that would be like calling number theory the study of strings of digits which terminate."
