This is my single biggest complaint about reStructuredText. You create headings by putting underlines and (optional!) overlines around the section heading text. But all of the following are valid title adornment characters:

  ! " # $ % & ' ( ) \* + 
  , - . / : ; < = > ? @ 
  [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
So in each doc you have to figure out the H1, H2, H3 formatting separately. E.g. in one doc it's:

  ==
  H1
  ==

  Normal text

  --
  H2
  --

Whereas in another it might be:

  H1
  ~~

  Normal text

  !!
  H2
  !!

Can someone who has used both wokwi and this do a compare/contrast? The footer suggests that it's built on top of wokwi-elements

Velxio is definitely inspired by Wokwi, and I really like what they’ve built. Parts of Velxio also reuse open-source components , for example, the wokwi elements are used for the visual SVG rendering of boards and peripherals, but they don’t include any emulation logic.

I also integrated a couple of existing open-source emulators, like the Raspberry Pi Pico and Arduino ones. And I even reached out to the creator of Wokwi to share the project.

In terms of differences, one of the biggest ones is that Velxio supports multiple heterogeneous boards in the same circuit: for example, two Arduinos connected over SPI or serial, ESP32 with Arduino, Raspberry Pi 3 with a Pico, etc.

Another major difference is the focus on full emulation, including ESP32 (via QEMU) and a Raspberry Pi 3 running Linux (still in beta).

There are also quite a few other differences, but those are probably the most notable ones


Yes that is their biggest manufacturing hub right? And was the location of the working conditions controversy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_Brazil_working_conditions_...




I'm a technical writer. Off the top of my head I reckon at least 10 startups have … started up … in this space since 2023.


He really is a remarkable person. An actor plays a high school teacher who is secretly filmed ranting against government corruption. The secretly filmed video goes viral and the teacher is unexpectedly elected president. Reality ends up mirroring fiction: the clip from the show truly does go viral and the actor who plays the teacher actually gets elected president! But then said actor gets thrown into a war against a superpower and really rises to the occasion. What a remarkable life.


How do people hold yuan? I was surprised at the lack of ETFs in this space. There's of course a lot of Chinese equity ETFs. There used to be a pure currency ETF but it was liquidated a couple years back. CBON seems like a good way to get exposure via bonds, but its AUM is quite low.


> How do people hold yuan?

Actual answer? In global real estate. So… they don’t or “it’s complicated”.


> “It is in nobody’s interests for there to be worries and instability in the U.S.,” said Jonathan Haskel, an economics professor at Imperial College Business School and former member of the rate-setting committee at the Bank of England. “Other countries hold lots of American assets. Savers in Europe will implicitly be invested in the American stock market. America is in many ways a flagship engine, with the A.I. revolution going on. Nobody in the world wants to see that at risk.”

Good Judgment Project apparently started in 2011 as part of an IARPA tournament. I first learned about through The Economist, which frequently mentions the crowd consensus on forecasts related to Economist articles.
