If you are using an if statement inside a for loop, did you know there's a better way of doing this is Swift? I'm talking about the where clause. Using the where clause in a for loop can provide several benefits over using an if statement inside a for loop: Readability: It explicitly states the condition that must be met for an element to be processed, making the purpose of the loop clearer to anyone reading the code. Efficiency: When using a where clause, the filtering of elements is done at the level of the sequence, which can be more efficient than filtering within the loop with an if statement. Brevity: Using a where clause often results in more concise code, as it eliminates the need for an if statement and associated braces. This can make the code more manageable and easier to maintain.

Very nice to be back in Boston, my old haunt as a graduate student and, two decades later, a professor on the faculty The Fletcher School Tufts University , to participate as a panelist Harvard Kennedy School Harvard CID ‘s #GEM26 on “Reimagining International Development”. The Charles River is as beautiful and calming as ever. The meeting is a two-day event of heavy hitters in global academia, Nobel Laureates, and senior policymakers. I’ll be breaking some tables on this vexed matter of the “international” development of poor countries in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South Asia😀 No one in the rich, developed world owes anyone in under-developed countries “development”. We should fix our problems!

Turso is an incredible technical feat. A Rust rewrite of sqlite, with an async-first architecture, incoming support for concurrent writes, vector search, and browser / wasm support out of the box. I think this has a very good chance of being a foundational piece of infrastructure of the vibe-coding age. On-demand, sqlite-compatible global databases that can also run in-browser and on-device. The pace at which the project is evolving is most definitely *not normal*. Pekka Enberg and Glauber Costa are built different. Demo:

In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler) is a device which intentionally reduces the lift component of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow. By so doing, the spoiler creates a controlled stall over the portion of the wing behind it, greatly reducing the lift of that wing section. Spoilers differ from airbrakes in that airbrakes are designed to increase drag without disrupting the lift distribution across the wing span, while spoilers disrupt the lift distribution as well as increasing drag.

Seems like a lot of you are excited about Wave Link 2.0, which is really cool! 🫶 Two more features that are worth calling out. The first is simple but just really nice. If you rename an input in Wave Link, the name of the virtual device you see across Windows will also be renamed. Second - you can now set up a Stream Deck action that automatically adds the foreground app to a pre-defined Wave Link input. Kind of a magical way to configure audio routing, especially with the new app grouping.

Fun fact for those who weren’t around at the time: The reason we have Zero Build mode today is because of Slone, the main antagonist of the time, using a device to delete and disable all player builds. Yes, Fortnite used to be THAT good 😭😔🥀

I was at Mahindra University in Hyderabad Mahindra University last weekend, to preside, as Chancellor, over our 4th Annual Convocation. A particularly exciting feature of the trip was to see the innovation that is bubbling up all over the different Schools in the University. The diversity of the projects was energizing. A couple of examples: The Engineering School students have developed an autonomous E-shuttle that will be able to provide point-to-point unmanned transportation around the 100 acre campus. And Santosh, a new faculty member of the School of Design Innovation, showcased a line of footwear he had conceptualised (along with IIT Madras and ISB) using Gongadi fabric, woven from the coarse, warm wool of native sheep breeds. For centuries, it’s been made by local weavers for tribal and pastoral communities to keep warm in the chilly winters of the Deccan plateau. He’s adapted it to make footwear that local farmers can use which is easy to clean and maintain despite usage in muddy terrain and hopes to take the project forward at Mahindra University Universities must, and will leverage innovation that improves the quality of our lives…

Realizing people might not have realized that by "flower game" I mean this end screen is a DIRECT reference to the book of unveiling in Destiny 2, which itself refers to a modified version of John Horton Conway's Game of Life; the book refers to this as The Flower Game, a zero-player game where the only move is the initial set up of the pieces and their behaviors. I think if this Durandal is the one from the end of Marathon Infinity, then perhaps he's found a way to influence the Flower Game, and is using that influence to re-write the universe to create a reality that allows his escape from reality itself.

The importance of pointing the AirFanta Wear personal air purifier accurately. You need to point the center of the Wear's airflow at your breathing zone. Otherwise you won't get any benefit from the device. This is just a visualization using the mist from an ultrasonic nebulizer to stand in for unfiltered ambient air. In the demonstration the air is not completely still due to the output of the nebulizer. But the air flow may be similar to cross currents that might be found in indoor settings. AirFanta has shown a number of different ways to position the Wear, but hasn't given exact numbers for distance as far as I know. I'm using a distance of 2 inches or less as a rule of thumb, with the center of the device pointed at my breathing zone. The 3/4 position feels like it's one that people may be the most interested in because it can let you eat while at the same time maintaining a close proximity to the output. The Wear is not meant as a one-to-one replacement for a respirator grade mask. It's best for situations where you were not going to be wearing a mask at all, but would still like to breathe cleaner air. Avoid risk compensation, which is where you take on more risk because you think you are more protected than you actually are. For instance, visiting a nephew sick with measles without an N95 mask because you think the Wear will give you equal protection. Maintaining the correct distance and orientation between the Wear and your breathing zone requires conscious effort. The Wear can reduce your overall exposure to airborne contaminants, but it needs to be used very close to breathing zone and needs to be very accurately centered.

IOBM student body unites to demand justice for a fellow female student who was reportedly expelled for complaining about alleged harassment she faced as the University responded by accusing her of being disrespectful to the staff. Universities in Pakistan for most part believe that students can be isolated, picked out and bullied and as there are no student unions who would care. However, the IOBM student body proved the administration wrong which as per reports has now led to firing of the transport staff member against whom the student had originally complained. It has also been reported that the University is now reconsidering the expulsion of the Student. The student must be reinstated at the earliest and inquiry should be launched against her hasty expulsion and allegations of harassment. This is not the first time a University has decided to act against alleged victims and whistleblowers. In 2021 a male student was expelled by IBA for publicly reporting the harassment of a female staff member by senior male staff members. The expulsion led to student protests resulting in the reinstatement of the whistle blower following my committee inquiries which found the male staff members guilty of harassment. Instead of knee jerk reactions to first complaints and then retreating under protest Universities must ensure proper mechanisms and transparency giving confidence to students to come forward instead of putting them under fear or coercive actions against them. The inquiries will not only embolden students but would also give fair hearing to those accused of harassment. Unfortunately even the premier institutes who claim to have comprehensive anti harassment policies in place fail to implement the same when the need arises and even try to rig inquiry committees or create hurdles for them. In 2014 when a professor at LUMs was accused of sexual harassment the first reaction of the administration and fellow faculty was to rush his defence and the LUMS inquiry committee also exonerated him and it was only later before the Ombudsman that the professor was found guilty resulting in the professor getting fired. Whether it is incidents of harassment, lack of facilities on campus, lack of maintenance of amenities and transport, issues of examination and other disciplinary measures the conduct of university administrations repeatedly remind us of the need for actual functioning Students Unions and Student representation within the university's governing bodies.

This shot was invented by Alfred Hitchcock and it inspired Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese and Michael Mann. Inverted (upside-down) camera shot is applied to break the visual orientation and imply mental or moral instability. The image can be turned 180 degrees, which makes the viewer used to a sense of balance and space, and it is a controlled dissonance.

Ryan Seacrest is worth almost 500 million dollars which makes him the kind of celebrity who would be approached to be cloned. Cloning is done for control, profit or deception. For entertainers it can be a financial agreement that allows a clone to be used for work or travel. The clone has the knowledge and memories of the original person but is basically mind-controlled. Sometimes "malfunctions" happen, which I believe can be provoked by outside forces to expose evidence of cloning.

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST DETECTED QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT IN A CENTIMETER-SIZED PIECE OF METAL SOMETHING ONCE THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS SCALE. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have found clear evidence of high-degree quantum entanglement among particles inside a macroscopic crystal of a “strange metal” made of cerium, palladium, and silicon. This is one of the first times multipartite entanglement has been convincingly demonstrated in a solid object large enough to hold in your hand. Strange metals are already bizarre their electrons don’t behave like normal individual particles. Now it appears large numbers of them can act as a single, highly entangled quantum system even at everyday scales. Why this matters: • Quantum entanglement has almost always been limited to tiny numbers of particles in carefully isolated lab conditions • This experiment shows entanglement can persist collectively across a visible, macroscopic object • It was measured using neutron scattering, which revealed the material responding as one entangled system rather than many independent particles • This bridges the gap between microscopic quantum effects and real-world materials The deeper implication: For decades, physicists have wondered whether the strange, collective behavior seen in certain quantum materials could be explained by underlying entanglement. This result strongly suggests the answer is yes even at scales we can see and touch. It doesn’t mean your coffee mug is in a quantum superposition, but it does show that quantum correlations can dominate the physics of certain solids in ways we’re only beginning to understand. This kind of macroscopic quantum behavior could eventually help us design new materials with exotic properties, or give us new tools to study fundamental questions about quantum mechanics itself. How do you think discovering entanglement at this scale changes our understanding of where the quantum world ends and the classical world begins?

Jeremy Corbell’s New Saucer-Shaped UFO Debunked? According to ThomasH, the round “flying saucer” that Jeremy Corbell (Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell) claims is the object in the video looks to be identified as just a glare from the sun. In the video below, you can see the object doing the same motion as the camera, but in reverse. This is typical behavior of what happens when a lens flare occurs. Thomas inverses the footage, showing the clouds and the correct shadows, which exposes the glare. Did Corbell tamper with the video? You have to wonder why Corbell admittedly adjusted setting in the video and even used an AI tool to enhance it. Is that because Corbell knew it was a glare and giving it an AI enhance would create sharper edges to make it appear to be something it’s not? Regardless, this is very hard to dispute and looks to be a proper debunk of a video that people like Marik vR from The Hill called “undebunkable”. #ufoX #ufotwitter
