Out-Fibbing CPython with the Plush Interpreter

Out-Fibbing CPython with the Plush Interpreter In the last post I talked about Plush, the toy programming language with actor-based parallelism I've been tinkering with. The implementation is still immature, but it's reached a point where I can write fun programs that produce 2D/3D graphics and parallelize things over multiple CPU cores. Something I'd like to try soon, for the fun of it, is to animate a spinning cube with software rendering (rasterization). Before I get to that though, I'd like

Sonos products are about to get more expensive

Sonos is synonymous with premium audio gear, and soon, some of that gear will carry an even more premium price tag. Chris Welch reports for Bloomberg that Sonos plans to increase prices on at least some of its products. The reason is no surprise: tariffs. Sonos Inc. will raise prices on some products later this year, the company said Wednesday, a move that threatens to complicate its comeback attempt following a tumultuous 2024.

Experts Warn That AI Is Getting Control of Nuclear Weapons

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-09 00:23:34

"It’s going to find its way into everything." Nobel laureates met with nuclear experts last month to discuss AI and the end of the world — and if that sounds like the opening to a sci-fi blockbuster set in the apocalypse, you're not alone. As Wired reports, the convened experts seemed to broadly agree that it's only a matter of time until an AI will get hold of nuclear codes. Exactly why that needs to be true is hard to pin down, but the feeling of inevitability — and anxiety — is palpable in

Is Economics education fit for the 21st Century?

The first quarter of the 21st century has seen seismic shifts in the politics, society, and economy of the United Kingdom. As economics thinkers and graduates, Rethinking Economics is concerned that economics education remains out of step with these shifts. What is taught in university classrooms informs how society perceives and will tackle these challenges, from engaging in climate science to the reality of Britain’s colonial past.

Jeff Buckley captivated an audience of generations with his transcendent voice and soaring guitar. After his untimely passing in 1997 at age 30, he gained posthumous, cult-like status. Never one for the charts, his album Grace has stood the test of time and is listed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

The History and Physics of the Atomic Bomb

In 1938, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who had fled to New York to escape fascism, discovered a material in which a process of this type occurred: uranium. Fearing that the Nazis might also discover this element’s capability of producing a chain reaction, the Manhattan Project was born in 1940, a secret program for the development of nuclear weapons led by Arthur Compton. Compton formed a research group, which also included Fermi and Szilard, that would continue to conduct experiments on nucle
