"A Stunning Rebuke Of Anti-Trans Politics"—Dems Win Elections Nationwide Despite Anti-Trans Ads As election results poured in on Tuesday night, it became clear that Democrats were winning nationwide against anti-trans opponents.

1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics.

From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate.

State AGs Defend Trans Americans in Stunning Rebuke to Trump’s FTC — Assigned Eighteen state Attorneys General unite to stand up in defense of trans Americans, in opposition to a Federal Trade Commission investigation into trans healthcare.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US.

Screenshot of the unstable rust explorer application created by @systemcluster. It shows Rust 1.90.0 selected, with the New Language Feature, embed_source underlined, and its description below. embed_source description: This flag controls whether the compiler embeds the program source code text into the object debug information section. It takes one of the following values: y, yes, on or true: put source code in debug info. n, no, off, false or no value: omit source code from debug info (the default). This flag is ignored in configurations that don't emit DWARF debug information and is ignored on non-LLVM backends. -Z embed-source requires DWARFv5. Use -Z dwarf-version=5 to control the compiler's DWARF target version and -g to enable debug info generation.

This is a beautiful Rust feature explorer created by Systemcluster, and it has made my evening! I am grateful this exists.

Update: Flutter/Dart was worth it.

Consistency across platforms (plus graphics performance) is worth its weight in gold (dealing with WebKitGtk was… time consuming).

While flutter_rust_bridge is sometimes quirky, there’s something nice about being able to call Rust directly via FFI bindings.

Oh no! 😱 I’m starting to think Flutter/Dart’s kind of cool…

But, do I keep my React frontend with Tauri, dealing with WebView pains until Tauri CEF runtime arrives?

…or, do I flutter_rust_bridge and make my app mobile first (& discover a new set of problems)? 🤔

Semaphore’s seem useful… i wonder what took me so long to learn they exist 🤔

Comic. The Three Types of Unsolved Physics Problem (First panel) Vague. PERSON [next to curved diagram] What is the nature of time in quantum gravity? Is it a background parameter, a dynamic aspect of spacetime, or an emergent phenomenon? (Second panel) Precise. PERSON 2 with short hair [device with equation below: 71Ga + νe → 71Ge + e- .] Why does the *S.A.G.E.* Gallium Neutrino Capture Experiment produce only 75% as much germanium as predicted? (Third panel) Cursed. PERSON 3 with white hat [rectangular block with hairs growing out of it labeled Zinc Whiskers] Why does some metal randomly grow hairs? It keeps causing short circuits and we have no idea what’s going on. OFF-PANEL: Is this a joke? PERSON 3: No! Please help!

Fig. 2 Inertial sensors. (a) Representation of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) depicting the sensing axes and the corresponding yaw, pitch, and roll rotations. (b) Exemplar accelerometer profiles of two hand gestures (hand rubbing and key locking) for three subjects showing the similar periodic nature of the hand movements. (c) Operating principle of an MEM accelerometer. When a force is detected due to a compressive or extensive movement, it is possible to determine the displacement x and acceleration since the mass and spring constants are known. (d) Representation of a simple gyroscope model. (e) The magnetic field generated by electric currents, magnetic materials, and the Earth’s magnetic force exerts a magnetic force detectable by a magnetometer sensor

Highlighted: A sustained sequence of related hand gestures composes a hand activity. context: Whole body activities differ from fine-grained human actions, usually undertaken by the hands (see Fig. ). These hand activities are often independent of whole-body activity, for instance, sending a text from your smartphone while walking. A sustained sequence of related hand gestures composes a hand activity. Hand gestures like waves, flicks, and snaps tend to have exaggerated motions (used for communications), and hand activities are more subtle, discontinuous, and of varying durations [12].

I mean this is just genius

Comic. Thought Process While Reading A Big Number: 54,000,000,000,000,000,000,0000,0000,054,000"000,00c2ef46 [comments progress along the line, approximately every 3 digits] (1) 54! Great! I know that number. Solid start. (2) Oh, a comma and some zeros. Cool. Must be at least 54 thousand. (3) A second comma! I wonder if we’re talking population or money. (4) Yikes! If this is money, it’s a *lot* of money. (5) Why am I reading this? Whatever this number is, I’m not going to be able to visualize it. (6) All right, either someone made a unit conversion error or this is one of those incomprehensible astronomy numbers. (7) [4 zeroes between commas instead of 3]] Oh no. Is this a misplaced comma or an extra zero? I guess we’ll see if the next group has two zeros or three. If it’s two, we can at least hope the digits are right. (8) [4 zeroes between commas] Oh *no*. (9) [repeat of the digits 54] What is happening. (10) [a quotation mark in place of comma] Someone messed up real bad. (11) [final digits are c2ef46, cut off] Someone messed up real bad and I hope it wasn’t me.

Change MCP SDK to rmcp by byeblack · Pull Request #422 · 0xPlaygrounds/rig Reason: modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk#44, the original MCP rust-sdk has been changed to rmcp, we should use rmcp to fix #416

Def give Rig a shot!

While It’s still early days for it (i later realized it can’t actually do cyclic workflows… yet), it’s evolving pretty rapidly!

For example, rn they seem close to merging in the updated (now official) RMCP crate (which is also evolving rapidly).
