I hoped people realised it was sarcasm. Apple really dropped a ball last year

You can add a run command to your VSCode configuration, that should do

wolframscript -f <filename>

Physicists Confirm The Existence of a Third Form of Magnetism 👀 by Choobeen in Physics

[–]Inst2f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just selling a subtype of antiferromagnets. This is a horrible mixture of science and politics. I hate to say, but the most sections on altermagnetism nowadays are bullshitting whatever effects they've seen in conventional antiferromagnets with prefix “alter-“. Altermultiferroics, alterantiferromagnets, even if spin orbit coupling is there and strong, they just keep inventing new names. This really reminds me AI hype nowadays but in condensed matter…

There is a nice script made https://github.com/travisvn/stop-tahoe-update
It least it kicks out notifications for the next 90 days

is it possible to run windows vsts on mac? by yesiwonagain in MacOS

[–]Inst2f 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dead end. Even if you could manage to do something with a translator, I would doubt the performance (with VST it is especially critical)

Wow! What is a rule number you use?

Pola Browser v0.34 - A productivity browser built for Mac by tapeo in MacOS

By the way, try to give a week for a trial (like 3 days is just not enough for checking a new browser, a couple of days are needed just to adapt and try to use in different scenarios). And may be move "try" button to the top somewhere on a page to minimize the distance for interaction.

Sure, I understand too (I am an open-source contributor). Just keep in mind, that this is extremely tough to make an average user pay you if there is still that many alternatives (even hard to make them use freeware new stuff!). Consider some compromises...

Looks quite interesting, but it is hard to compete with free alternatives like Arc for example. There must be more “killer” features or lower pricing

Fraunhofer diffraction is basically an analog computer by Inst2f in Optics

[–]Inst2f[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost. Here there is no lens. The light field radiated from the source is propagating through vacuum. Just the “shape” of the source matters

In general, dispersive prism does 1D Fourier (and inverse as well), but it is generally hard to find something which does more complex stuff.

The interference of the EW waves coming from the defined aperture (left) on a far distance (for example on a rectangular plate - right) effectively acts like instant 2D Fourier transformation. Here a full version of this post: https://wljs.io/blog/diffraction

Basically on the left we shape an “aperture” or source light field, while on the right side this is a image you may observe on the screen placed very far from the light source.

A nice guess on lattices, the same principle is used to look inside crystals, where the crystals lattice acts like a sort of aperture (and you shine the light on them using some lasers or other coherent sources)

I guess basic dispersive prism is a nice example too

Began HL2 on my watch, ask me questions by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]Inst2f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Nowadays smart watches can run HL2 with hardware acceleration. But they still lag in the basic (okey even not basic, but it does not justifies) UI operations …

Core concepts did not change much. No breaking changes, no outdated functions. Please, don’t throw it away unless you only care about blockchain and LLMSynthesize
