  Still remain undetermined about the #fpga to path to follow. While I will most certainly get the NANDLAND go as a starter, I am totally undecided about the next one: Altera, Xilinx and Lattice all seem equally viable 😭😭😭

  You will be unsurprized by how many successfully (standardized) tested graduates do not grasp the material, and in fact cannot explain the material they were successfully tested on. Essay testing should come back and a major barrier to do so was eliminated by LLM+SSM hybrids.

  So here is how I solved my #fpga dilemma : got both #Lattice to access the open source synthesis tools and #Altera through Terasic since they package the Quartus Pro license with Agilex5 boards. Given how horrible I was with VHDL 25 yrs ago, I will be doing stuff in SystemVerilog

  As people are becoming token poor, I hope they discover that the chatbots are reasonably good at writing #Perl and that one can fit lots of tasks on a limited token budget using the expressiveness of the language.

  I was expecting more from Bloomberg. First of all, if the pandemic is over why do the sequeala cost money? So by definition the pandemic is not over, in which case we should ask the real questions : who made the decision to spend these 135B per year by not ending the pandemic and what the counterfactual , alternative futures are and how much would they cost? The combined GDP of the OECD countries is around 65T , so 135B is 0.2% of the sector's GDP https://www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

  Re: the supposedly super secret model Mythos (=fable, but in modern Greek this word means lie) here is the main issue. Announcements such as this fail to mention something obvious: many codebases suffer from historical bias ie they are secure according to the standard /knowledge/patterns that were around at the time the review was done.

  The trial in the Lancet that supposedly showed that ⬆️ fluid intake does not prevent recurrent kidney stones is misleading. First they only tested a behavioral intervention to promote fluid intake. Secondly the achieved fluid intake was inadequate https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(25)02637-6/abstract
