> The Morpho language. Morpho is a programmable environment for shape optimization and scientific computing tasks more generally. Morpho aims to be:

> - Familiar. Morpho uses syntax similar to other C-family languages. The syntax fits on a postcard, so it's easy to learn.

> - Fast. Morpho programs run as efficiently as other well-implemented dynamic languages like wren or lua (Morpho is often significantly faster than Python, for example). Morpho leverages numerical libraries like BLAS, LAPACK and SUITESPARSE to provide high performance.

> - Class-based. Morpho is highly object-oriented, which simplifies coding and enables reusability.

> - Extendable. Functionality is easy to add via packages, both in Morpho and in C or other compiled languages. Packages can be downloaded, installed and distributed via the morphopm package manager.

I’m not involved in this project in any way, just trying it out because it sounds interesting.


This youtube video (that was linked in their readme, seems to go into more details:

Sony aimed for something similar in 2013 with their QX camera series (https://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/sony_ilce_qx1_review), but those were complete cameras including battery and SD-Card slots that communicated wirelessly via NFC or WiFi with the mobile phone so there was a lot of redundant functionality.

> P.S. Huh, it appears that actually is Yuri "Four Stages of Ideological Subversion" Bezmenov in the comments.

That is not the real Yuri Bezmenov which died in 1993 but a fan account:

> Kicking off 2024 by honoring the real Yuri and sharing the reasons why I started this Substack

> Yuri Bezmenov passed away 31 years ago and gave his famous speech about subversion 40 years ago. If he were alive today, he would marvel that everything he predicted in 1984 came true. He tried to warn us. All honor to his name.

Ah, that makes sense. Honestly I had no real idea of the chronology, since the video seems to have gotten more popular lately.


This is way more detailed than I expected it to be, and I will keep it as reference. When I did my own image loading and display I did meet many of these issues but this article made me see that the horrors go way deeper.

That URL is in the YouTube video description.


> But he pointed out that only the species names had been changed, not the common name. Researchers, he said, can keep using HIV in papers the same way researchers use “mouse” and not mus musculus. (Critics argue that, with viruses, it’s not so simple, and note the new names have already tripped up such august bodies as the World Health Organization.)


The claim is that everyone shoud use "generative AI" for everything the whole time:

> And, she added, “when it comes to developer productivity, the survey found widespread adoption and significant time savings from the use of AI-powered coding tools.”
