If there’s 22 g of coffee left in the bag, you could make two weak cups of pourover, or one powerful cup. This test determines whether you’re fit to join the Galactic Fleet.

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.
You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls
RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

This morning my son told a joke that relied on him needing to fart as the punchline but the fart came out silent and he was so disappointed he had to go to his room alone.

Installing Packages - Python Packaging User Guide
It’s important to note that the term “package” in this context is being used to
describe a bundle of software to be installed (i.e. as a synonym for a
distribution). It does not refer to the kind
of package that you import in your Python source code
(i.e. a container of modules). It is common in the Python community to refer to
a distribution using the term “package”. Using
the term “distribution” is often not preferred, because it can easily be
confused with a Linux distribution, or another larger software distribution
like Python itself.

Recently, we saw a massive surge in sign-ups for #ProtonVPN originating from the U.S.
Usually, these sign-up spikes are due to countries with unstable governments facing internet censorship, so this was a real head-scratcher.
Turns out it's just porn. 🤷♂️

Over the past year I played a supporting role on experiments showing we have a flexibility in how we do QEC on a planar chip. We do a color code (arxiv.org/abs/2412.14256), and three interesting variations of the surface code circuit (arxiv.org/abs/2412.14360), all below threshold.

If you're ever having a mysterious problem, for days, where batch jobs seem to run fine, but the output never gets written? — check whether you've exceeded your disk quota on the cluster. Just hypothetically, it could happen.

Take your budget, subtract monitors and other peripherals and then divide by 2. Spend that much on a killer GPU and then build up from there. Ryzen, RTX card, M.2 SSD. Some good suggestions in this thread.

This is perhaps the single worst idea for a cookie jar I've ever seen. Want those cookies on the bottom? Have fun carefully picking up the top two layers of glassware to access them!
