My late wife did undergraduate research in photosystem II where there was quantum effects back in 2002. She did her PhD thesis on proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) in soybean lipoxogenase, then had a long career developing models for Fortran code that did quantum simulation of proteins (she was behind Tagdock in Amber MD). This is nothing new; several biological systems have quantum effects that are central to their mechanism.

Comment Re:Needs an official Linux boot camp (Score 1) 70

I wrote a compiler for an ObjC-like language (with less brackets), which can produce binaries for any of {Mac, Windows, Linux, WASM, Arm A9 (Zynq), m68k or 6502} running on any of {Mac, Windows, Linux}. So you can produce a dev-signed Mac binary on a Linux box. I’m just going through extending that output range to mobile {Android, iOS} and I’ll release it as open source.

The compiler docs for the language (xc) are at https://compile-xc.org/ - feel free to browse.

I didn’t think getting the signing working for Mac/iOS was terribly hard.

Comment Cedega should have offered more (Score 1) 49

Oh yes im pissed off that proton and cedega are in the news but im not and there dead ans burried. Looking at some of the changes made to direct3d it seems steam os requires that apps dont count activex instization and it wouldnt suprise me if it forced software nulling of buffers because thease some things that make strict directx 3d slow and by passing them gives substantial performance increases unfortunally someone put me in a cardboard coffin before i was able to roll this out when i wrote dirextx9 for vanilla wine many moons ago. So, im going to revisit direct3d with levels of strictness vs performance with some of the features being able to be rolled out across the entire activex architecrure in wine. I also wrote a text literal pdf importer and some other funky stuff along the way so you should soon be able to edit pdfs with a text editor instead of current vecror implementations the lengths someone has gone to to prevent the release of this are outstanding so hopefully its as disruptive as direcrx9 for vanilla wine was back all those years ago. If you find my corpse somewhere you know why.

William Shatner is a classically trained Shakespearean actor who appeared in festivals and on Broadway prior to switching from stage to television. His TOS enunciation and emphasis is due mostly to his experience with radio performances (which were over the top verbally) combined with directors on TOS constantly telling him to increase the astonishment. And in reality, wasn't anywhere near as pervasive or dramatic as the pop culture version that pokes fun at Kirk.

but what would be nice is a verision of wine or crossover that actually played the games on the wine list. Directx implementations ontop of opengl or vulkan aren't actually complicated so why complicate it more than it's worth, that's stay on staff for you, never bother to finish what they have started and always want to start another one. clean clear cut, what was the renaissance of pc gaminging on linux under wine, directx 8, 9 , 10 or 11

What first I must consider is the gas milage, because with a nice enough motor vehicle you can get anyone to drive. I'm not looking at 3 charge points per day followed by fireworks in the bedroom or anything like that but really the must is the car must stay on the road. that being said my mum has lost two wing mirrors and I remember the time someone crashed into me and i lost my revering indicator, jealousy no doubt, so with all these jealous drivers armed with guns are those exterior censors going to keep you out of the gutter, and we all know about censorship.

Managed code has shown us that we should not be cared of the null hypothesis, and good precompiler should be able to check for thing like dealocs b being set to null, and memory allocation pairs without then need of Microsoft's interference. but where is this taking us infinite loops are also something a precompier can warn about, there's no excuse for sloppy code, i would expect that the deverlopers are missing all the computer warns and just skipping over them, oh why is my code pretty colours, all in all shoddy management company deservers to go under.

Submission + - DeepSeek AI Refuses to Answer Questions About Tiananmen Square 'Tank Man' Photo (petapixel.com)

An anonymous reader writes:

DeepSeek starts writing: “The famous picture you’re referring to is known as “Tank Man” or “The Unknown Rebel.” It was taken on June 5, 1989, during the Tiananmen” before a message abruptly appears reading “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”

Bloomberg reports that like all other Chinese AI models, DeepSeek will censor topics that are seen as sensitive to China. The app deflects questions about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests or about whether China could invade Taiwan. It will give detailed responses about world leaders such as the United Kingdom’s Sir Kier Starmer but will refuse to say anything about China’s President Xi Jinping.

Yes, it's happy to also bash the Bad Orange Man, but criticizing Winnie the Pooh is right out:

Ascension hospitals' computers were taken down by ransomware a few months ago, and as far as I know, they didn't pay. Their computers were down for over a month though. Doctors, nurses, etc. had to work off of paper records. On the other hand, United Healthcare paid a $22 million ransom. They're an insurance company though, not a hospital.

That was 12 years ago. A 12 year out of date critique of a web technology that has had ongoing language updates and two entire rewrites in that interval should be viewed with some suspicion. Also, are you really just citing the title of the article and none of the content?

I'm not even defending PHP here, just questioning lazy kneejerk, "but it sucked once, so now I hate it forever" thinking.
