The remarkable aspect of mainstream economists is their persistence treating values in (digital) ledgers as actual instances of banknotes (physical paper) as their mental model, then selectively dropping the model.

And they refuse to submit to accounting rules.

These are really good questions that actually would be best addressed by agent-based modeling, where individual agents (banks, employees, investors, bond traders, federal govt, state govt, firms etc) each have behaviors defined by rules and you run the system adjusting the rules to see how the scenario plays out. #julialang is a great tool for this using the Agents.jl library in part because it's fast

my brain is officially blown! 🤯

is so fast ! 🚀

(compared to python when it is forced to apply arbitrary functions with loops inside, element-wise to an array - that is, can't benefit from vectorised numpy functions)

this experiment took about an hour in python and about 1 second in julia lang

sure my python isn't professional, but today was my first time with julia lang so that will be far from optimal either

Seeing the schedule in conference and the last survey, looks like the community is embracing more the idea of using Rust as a support language.

Coming soon to : constrained triangulations. Which I decided needs parameterized curves too for testing purposes 🦇

Getting there. These images show tests of a triangulation algorithm I've developed that uses Delaunay triangulation. It features mostly equilateral triangles except for at the boundaries.

Same as previous image but now the boundary is the Batman logo. This shape features sharp transitions which is good for testing how the algorithm copes with these.
