@DynamicWebPaige @ListenBrainz @MusicBrainz @SEEED “Ao vivo” just means live.

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

Firing the head of a key government agency because you don’t like the numbers they report, which come from surveys using long established procedures, is what happens in authoritarian countries not democratic ones. This is surely not the most serious threat to our democracy that @realDonaldTrump poses, but it is the one closest to what we economists do. I don’t see how serious members of the economics profession can stay in his administration.

@gelliottmorris Will 538 be publishing a Senate model? Thank you very much.

@MichaelEMann I was fortunate to take Prof Emanuel's MIT climate science course some years ago and his intellect and rigor left a lasting mark. He is definitely someone to listen to and take very seriously.

@burgwx Thank you for your contributions! Regarding Leslie, do you think it will go Cat 3? NHC outlook seems above most models, some of which are not even Cat 1.

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@gelliottmorris thanks for all the work. honest question for you: 1000 simulations in your model doesn't sound like all that many. why not 100x or 1000x that?

@eigenhector I didn't know that, but I did mess around with Borland Turbo Pascal. That said, I was much more of a Peter Norton Assembly guy.

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@eigenhector true that -- "extended precision", zipping along at 5 Mhz. Not that my Wizardry rpg would have benefited much from it.

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@eigenhector ironically, with bfloat16, aren't we going back a little bit to those simpler, more civilized times?

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@eigenhector kind of like adding an npu! :-)

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@eigenhector well those two sold millions of chips. the 4044 was a niche (but breakthrough!) cpu

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@eigenhector I thought the '87 co-processors just added floating point math.

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@eigenhector that's quite a bit JMP from an old 4044

[Hernando Cortina @cortinah.bsky.social @cortinah]

@eigenhector 8-bit cpu reference. i like it.
