Actually the first generation Socket 4 Pentiums (60 and 66 MHz) had the FOOF bug (and yes, they were bad processors — but overall system architecture with the very first PCI bus implementation with ISA legacy rather than ISA and a single VE

My quant mind is sprained by the implied volatility around the mean.

I’m a Mac user and the only way to get Office 365 is a monthly subscription. Since there’s no subscription that doesn’t include CoPilot and since they hiked the price with the excuse that they’d added this thing I didn’t want, I just cancel

They’re kickstarting a TINY device that is pocketable and aimed at consumers. I’ve backed it (full disclosure).

I just backed their TINY on Kickstarter.

Wow! Do my eyes deceive me? What kind of ‘sunset’ are we talking of here?!

I had no idea this existed and I’m in love. I’ve been using LATEX for more than twenty years and most of my use cases would’ve been covered by this. It’s going to be a fixture for the second half of my life and they can pry it out of my col

So… we should just pony up the monthly or yearly fee and let that VP get his promotion because he extorted hundreds of millions in exchange for something about we desirable we Clippy and with the mental capacity of Bob?

I still run Excel 2007 because as long as it can read and write .xlsx files that my Mathematica models can ingest and output I’m good with that. Every version of Mathematica has a perennial license, even if a new version comes out every yea

I’m absolutely not fine with being a subscriber. Whenever there’s a lifetime license alternative, that goes to the top of my list. I’m not into being somebody’s peon who has to keep paying an unknown fraction of their income to maintain fun

This is extremely interesting because while substantially losing weight and increasing my exercise regimen I’ve noticed my VO2 max mysteriously oscillate between Above Average and High only roughly a 21 day cycle for about the past year, an

I know this marks me out as a very specific and fairly derided kind of nerd, but I’m really excited to see what new features will be included in Mathematica 15 which is presumed to be launching fairly soon.

Apple Passwords works very well (as somebody who has fully migrated to it for password storage and OTP functionality). There’s a bit of a hassle because Apple has much simpler data structures currently, but you can bet that they’re working

In China the median hourly wage is somewhere between 4 and 6 USD, whereas in India where most employment is ‘informal’ estimates of the median wage vary from about 50 cents to 1 USD an hour. So to cover those twelve dollars, the average Chi

They’ve added a lot of ‘functionality’ but I use none of it. In December I migrated everything out and into Apple’s native Password manager, and cancelled my subscription to 1Password. Just in time, apparently. Subscription models need to d

Oh and… thank you so much for doing this. That game taught me more than you could ever imagine.

Looks like I’m going to need a Windows 10 virtual machine on my Apple Silicon. Or maybe I’ll just buy my first Windows machine since 2001.

And of course they weren’t misguided in looking to the heavens for predictive potential: astronomical configuration foretold seasonal changes and indicated when it would be propitious to sow crops or harvest them. They were simply a little

Yes, it’s absolutely amazing that they were making and recording such accurate empirical measurements for entirely the wrong reasons. “As in heaven, so below.” I wonder how many of the theoretical basis we now consider to be bedrocks will

So what irked that since my brand-new iPhone uses a Qualcomm “modem chip” (god, the slide of terminology makes my skin crawl) I won’t have access to this feature.
