Something smells fishy if you look into this. - If you look at after hours trading, nothing really happened. In fact, the stock actually had a strong up bar for a little bit. - Also, since Eli Lilly posted an official tweet stating the news

Yeah, we see this time and time again. All those Theranos investors didn't do any diligence because they saw other rich and powerful people throw money at them. A friend who tried to raise funds from VCs for his start up tech company i

I agree, this video is a nothing-burger. There are much better people who have been detailed in both their criticisms of SBF and the types of things he has been just exposed of doing for years. Crypto Critics' Corner and Molly White ar

The critics who follow this space rather closely seem to suspect that Alameda was especially exposed and damaged by the Luna collapse. This should have been Alameda's end, but because FTX can create FTT tokens out of thin air and it is

Rumors were that he was still trying to raise some kind of last minute savior financing after Binance backed out. If so, his best cards are to show that not everything he has is a shitshow and there may still be some real value financiers m

- FTX had much bigger trading volume (which might get people better fills) - FTX had lower fees than Coinbase - FTX offered a lot more coins to trade than Coinbase - FTX (like many others, but not so much Coinbase) were giving large sign up

Not only that, they wrote part of this math into a monologue for Dr. McCoy, where McCoy was advising Kirk. In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three

I have neighbor that did deep commercial diving after he left the military. He was special ops so he was in top physical shape. I never asked how much he made, but he implied it paid extremely well. But it was extremely dangerous. He didn&#

Major news outlets usually have a pre-prepared article for deaths of notable figures and celebrities. Then they can just fill in remaining blanks and publish quickly. On occasion one of these pre-prepared articles gets accidentally leaked,

Look up Edward Thorp, the famous mathematician who was the first to use probability theory to beat blackjack and write a book about it (Beat the Dealer). Basically, as a deck uses up cards, the remaining in the deck may present a positive e

Wow, I just watched the video and was surprised and delighted to see Roberto talk about Pallene (typed & compiled sister language for Lua). Fantastic!

Many of the comments here imply this article is about how to do parallax scrolling in general or think the article is suggesting Duke Nukem II was pioneering parallax scrolling. This is not what the article is about. This article is about h

This Great America actually changed hands a bunch of times, including to Santa Clara a couple of times. Each change of ownership seemed have that kind of effect. Paramount also bought this Great America for a period. Klingons walking around

I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment of the Bay Area. But as somebody who remembers Great America from its beginning, things were different all around compared to today. Also, 1976 being the US bicentennial, doesn't s

I think power efficiency has a lot more variables now so it is not easy to know if consumption is linear with time. CPUs now dynamically throttle themselves, plus now Apple has advertised that its M1 cores are divided up between high-perfor

I was in the same boat. QB refused to import for a year or two, and then after than completely ceased working unless I upgraded. I stopped using it. I didn't like GNUCash. I found a small indie commercial piece of software which was m

Since the not-on result is 'undefined', a devilish implementer could return 1 for the off case, just to screw with people. (How could this work in theory? Maybe the computer has a separate watchdog controller board which allows th

It's also not just another Lua-like language, in that it is designed to deeply share the Lua VM, and that Lua and Pallene code can call each other easily and fast. The description "Sister language" is trying to impart that th

I think they define Pallene as a true subset to Lua in that the Pallene compiler can emit a pure Lua version (which strips all the types), and will produce the same results when run.

If you want even more speed for Lua, Lua's new experimental sister language, Pallene is really exciting. Pallene is Lua with strong types, designed for the purpose of being able to (AOT) generate faster and native code. It's compi

Seems like many people here haven't actually read Linus's specific thoughts on AVX-512, and are accusing him of rejecting SIMD entirely or the usefulness of FP performance entirely. This is not an accurate representation of his po

The terms of Cisco's patent license are tricky. Basically, you must use binaries built by Cisco. Even though the source is available, Cisco's license only extends to binaries they build. If you build the code, you are not covered
