Donald Trump said the United States was beginning to talk with Cuban leaders
as his administration puts greater pressure on the communist-run island and cuts off key oil supplies.
This comes in the wake of his moves in recent weeks to cut off supplies of oil from Venezuela and Mexico,
which he suggested Saturday would force Cuba to the negotiating table.

So, I have an answer to my previous question about GPU transfer efficiency.
Original code: write data to staging buffer on CPU, vkCopyBuffer to GPU local memory, run int-float32 conversion on GPU out of that buffer. The copy operation shows 50% SM occupancy by compute warps, 50% unallocated warp slots in active SMs.
GPU memory write bandwidth is sitting around 2%, about 1.9 ms copy/shader run time.

Our world is run by monsters. Like, literal monsters.

The real monsters live among us, not in stories or fantasy.
How do we end these monsters?

The new Dutch coalition agreement talks a lot about nitrogen. By delaying measures for many years, we've now run into severe limitations on nitrogen deposition in nature areas. And the outgoing right-far-right coalition only made matters worse.
But: I'm not so sure we're taking the next big environmental problem seriously. The EU Water Framework Directive has 2027 goals for water quality, and - guess what - the Netherlands is not on track to meet those.

Starting to look at some performance improvements for various scopehal filters as I begin the push for v0.2.
The benchmark dataset is P/N legs of 100baseTX Ethernet sampled at 500 Msps with a ThunderScope.
At 50M point memory depth, each waveform is 100 MB in size (2 channels * 8 bits * 500 Msps) and covers 100ms of real time.
The filter graph currently takes just shy of a second to run, meaning we're at 10% of real time. I want to improve on this.
