It's refreshing to see software that values capability over subscription lock-in.

Love seeing better notation instead of more syntax. Good notation quietly makes complex ideas easier to think about.

Thanks. It did take me a bit to design it, I also save it for last before the 1.0 release last year. I am not aware of any other AsciiMath dialects which have explicit tensor notation so I am a bit proud of it.

I did borrow many ideas from the LaTeX tensor package though https://ctan.org/pkg/tensor


Nice balance between practicality and ambition. Curious how it holds up with real-world scale.

Security claims backed by public evidence are a lot more convincing than marketing.


Watching the first few minutes was more educational than I expected.


The history of science is basically a graveyard of elegant theories that met inconvenient measurements.


Cheap capital masked a lot of risk. The current rate environment is exposing it.


These are bonds that were issued a few weeks ago.


My take is that the resumption of that war in Iran makes it more likely that interest rates will rise, and rising rates means falling bonds prices.


yeah, as the article said bond prices have fallen slightly over the time period but this is much more bond buyers seeing increased risk SpaceX isn't going to have the cashflow or ease of further equity raises to pay them back in the long run. (With it being bonds the upside of "but what if SpaceX actually does become bigger than the present US economy" is capped too)


I don't see a future in which those bondholders don't get paid back.

The company has plenty of revenue, and if needed can just turn off the r&d tap and become a boring company. Terrible for the shareholders obviously, but the bond holders will be fine.


This assumes that SpaceX's decision maker decides to prioritise cuts to repay bondholders over R&D to see if they can innovate their way to bigger profits, which doesn't seem a sure bet (tbh I'd put SpaceX under its current management very low on the list of companies likely to do this)

I mean the bond yield is 6.65% over US Treasury returns of 4.75% so it's not like everyone's running in fear of their imminent collapse either. But they're less confident than they were when Elon company valuations looked immune to gravity.


Another example of complete idiocy on this board.

Yep spacex can afford to have a declining value of equity… its talent who are mostly paid with stock will leave for its competitors - increasing the probability of bankruptcy. Putting the company in a tail spin heading for default.

So how are the bond holders gonna get paid in the event that happens? Oh in bankruptcy court? Lmao.

Raising equity is not a loophole either - ebit and ebitda drive measures of default risk.

Most of you on here should never ever talk about finance. It’s like you learned how to discount a cash flow and have it all figured out lololol


This reminds me how much weight a great opening sentence carries. Some of them are memorable decades later because they establish the tone immediately


Either that or they’ve been repeated by the audience so often as to lose all their appeal.


The real win in EF Core 11 is pruning the reference-nav joins out of split child queries, that's been dead weight since AsSplitQuery existed.


same trick QSBR uses for lock-free reclamation, just framed at the OS scheduler level instead of userspace
