White House officials appointed
Gregg Phillips in December to lead FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery,
-- one of the agency’s most consequential leadership roles,
-- apparently due to his history of promoting election conspiracy theories, particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
He came under national scrutiny in March after CNN reported on a cache of outlandish comments from his appearances on right-wing podcasts, -- including the bizarre claim that h…

psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

ngscopeclient now has a newly unbitrotted RGMII protocol decode!
We had this years ago in scopeclient but it used the old inefficient (std::vector<bool> at each sample) parallel bus data model and was commented out for ngscopeclient until we could come up with a better data model.
Now it's back, in time for v0.2.
I also had to un-bitrot this session file: it was an ancient (June 2020) dataset that predated the modern multi-instrument data model in ngscopeclient.…

Reducing the size of a Rust GStreamer plugin
With Rust gaining traction among the GStreamer community as an alternative to C to write applications and plugins, we began wondering, could the size of such Rust plugins be a problem for embedded systems?

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …

Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election were brazenly antidemocratic.
Yet Trump and his supporters nonetheless justified their actions under the dubious pretense of preserving American democracy
– as a matter of getting the vote right, of reversing voter fraud.
There’s a good reason they took this approach.
Authoritarianism has long been rejected across the political spectrum.

MLIR: A Compiler Infrastructure for the End of Moore's Law
This work presents MLIR, a novel approach to building reusable and extensible compiler infrastructure. MLIR aims to address software fragmentation, improve compilation for heterogeneous hardware, significantly reduce the cost of building domain specific compilers, and aid in connecting existing compilers together. MLIR facilitates the design and implementation of code generators, translators and optimizers at different levels of abstraction and also across application domains, hardware targets …
