Implicit ODE solvers are not universally more robust than explicit ODE solvers

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs

Anonymous recursive functions in Racket

Anonymous recursive functions in Racket Context Some languages, like PowerShell, have “anonymous recursive functions”. That is, normally, a function needs to use a name to refer to itself to recur. But “anonymous recursion” means the language has some special mechanism by which the function can refer to itself without having to explicitly introduce a name. In some contexts, this is called an anaphoric reference. Code Here we show how we can easily implement this feature in Racket. The file a

Cloud provider Lambda may be gearing up for an IPO

In Brief Cloud provider Lambda might be following rival CoreWeave to the public markets. Lambda, an AI infrastructure company offering on-demand GPUs, has hired bankers for an upcoming IPO, according to reporting from The Information. Lambda has reportedly hired Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, and Citi for a public listing that could happen as early as the first half of 2026. Lambda did not respond to a request for comment. The company has raised more than $1.7 billion in funding, according to

Lisp interpreter with GC in <750 lines of Odin (and <500 lines of C)

komplott / komplodin A tribute to: Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine, Part I (as found in paper/recursive.pdf ) A micro-subset of scheme / the original LISP in a single C file: komplott.c ! New in 2025! The LISP interpreter translated to Odin in komplodin.odin . More lines of code, but I am less familiar with the language and am translating directly from C, so there are probably ways to make it a cleaner solution. When I posted this to lobste.rs,

Lamborghini’s new plug-in hybrid is the fastest car its ever built

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Lamborghini makes fast cars; this is an indisputable fact. So when the iconic Italian automaker says it’s new plug-in hybrid is both “the most powerful V12 every built” and “the fastest Lamborghini ever,” you should pay attention. At M

How to draw lambda diagrams (2020)

If you don’t want spoilers for my puzzle a few days ago, don’t read ahead! I think lambda diagrams are extremely cool, and haven’t seen any detailed description on how they work online. I’ll start by showing some very simple examples of lambda diagrams, and then build up to more complicated ones. First of all, what are lambda diagrams? They are pictorial representations of lambda expressions, and hence count as a pictorial system for a large portion of mathematics. I will assume that you under

A circle and a hyperbola living in one plot

We will see that the 3D plot of \(x^2 + (y + zi)^2 = 1\), where \(x\), \(y\), \(z\) are real and \(i\) is the imaginary unit, contains both a circle and a hyperbola. This visualization sheds light on the complex eigenvalues of real matrices. Let’s start by expanding the equation \(x^2+(y+zi)^2 = 1\) and separating it into real and imaginary parts. We get: \[\begin{align*} &\text{Real Part:} &x^2 + y^2 - z^2 &= 1, \\ &\text{Imaginary Part:} &yz &= 0. \end{align*}\] The condition \(yz=0\) split

The Cult of the Lamb comic is coming back with the Schism Special this fall

We're officially getting more of the Cult of the Lamb comic expansion. Following last year's miniseries, which built on the game's existing lore and injected some real emotional depth, writer Alex Paknadel and artist Troy Little are returning to the story of the Lamb and their followers in a one-shot 48-page issue that's due out in the fall from Oni Press. Cult of the Lamb: Schism Special #1 will be available on October 29 for $8, with covers by Troy Little and Peach Momoko, alongside a foil var

Lamborghini follows successful racing Huracan with new Temerario GT3

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is currently taking place in the UK; the event is part garden party, part hill climb, and plenty of auto show as car makers small and large unveil their vehicle du jour. Among those whipping satin covers off new machinery was Lamborghini. It's replacing the venerable Huracan and its howling naturally aspirated V10 engine with the plug-in hybrid Temerario, another wedge-shaped all-wheel drive mid-engined supercar, now with even more power. The road-going car has bee

Lamborghini Revuelto review: perfect harmony

With the dawning of a new era of hybridization in the automotive industry, more and more manufacturers are integrating electric propulsion into their lineups. Mild-hybrid systems are well-established, and more beneficial plug-in hybrid systems keep getting better and better. Even Lamborghini’s participating in the latest wave of hybridization, which might come as a surprise to some. That’s because this Italian company’s outlandish supercars have never been regarded as thrifty, or ever trying to
