The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity because it is a consequence of Newton's second law and the definition of work. The quadratic dependence of kinetic energy on velocity is a result of the symmetry properties of space and time, specifically the homogeneity and isotropy of space and the homogeneity of time.

Mathematicians are concerned that AI may replace human mathematicians, but some see it as a tool to aid in problem-solving and collaboration.
US housing prices rose 60% from 2019 to 2025 due to foreign investment and low supply elasticity. Cities can control supply sensitivity through zoning and permitting, promoting affordable housing.
The author and Om Malik were close friends for 20 years, often attending Apple keynotes together, and Om's presence improved any room with his kind words and humor. He transformed from a quick-trigger blogger to a thoughtful essayist after a heart attack in 2008, and his writing continued to earn respect until his passing.
DBOSify is a drop-in replacement for Temporal Python that uses Postgres for durable workflows. It replaces the Temporal server and Python SDK for Python-only applications.
The author was targeted by a fake-interview scam using a RAT called PinpinRAT, which was embedded in a TypeScript repository. The scam was sophisticated and used multiple fake websites, stolen history, and a patient timeline to avoid detection.
California State Assembly passed legislation mandating 3D print surveillance software despite EFF's warnings about privacy risks. The bill now heads to the state senate, where it needs to be stopped to protect creators' tools and users' rights.
The hopscotch-map library is a C++ implementation of a fast hash map and hash set using open-addressing and hopscotch hashing to resolve collisions. It offers better performances than std::unordered_map in most cases and is closely similar to google::dense_hash_map while using less memory and providing more functionalities.
The gap between open weights LLMs and closed source LLMs is shrinking, with some benchmarks showing a near catch-up by December 2026. However, a broader analysis of 18 benchmarks shows a more moderate and consistent gap of around 5 months.
Researchers have developed a new type of hardware using ultrasound to record brain activity without drilling into the skull. This technology captures detailed images of the brain's vascular system, potentially leading to breakthroughs in understanding and treating neurological conditions.
'contradiction' is not exactly the right word, as we don't directly contradict the initial statement. a proof of p2 = kq2 will have solutions for positive integer q if and only when j is square - but not for 2m2 or 6m2, even though m isn’t prime. this is equivalent to saying that 2q2, which is an odd power of 2, cannot possibly equal 2p2, is

The Wychbold Masts in Worcestershire are being considered for listing due to their historical importance and role in broadcasting and World War Two. The masts will stop transmitting the BBC's Long Wave service on Saturday, marking the end of an era.
A compiler was built to understand the transformation of code from regular-looking loops to vector_for loops that allow multiple iterations to be executed in parallel. The compiler lowers kernels into a simpler form where data parallelism is visible, recording which loop iterations run together and whether each load can use adjacent addresses or needs per-lane addresses.
Pre-modern armies were expensive to maintain, requiring non-subsistence labor and resources. States used various methods to fund their armies, including redistribution economies, coinage, and devolving costs to individuals or communities.
A 30-year-old AOL outage in 1996 highlights the importance of site reliability engineering and the need to prioritize individual impact over profit margins. SREs can act as a backstop to prevent reliability back-sliding by emphasizing individual impact, coordinating with coworkers, and proposing outlandish ideas to drive investment in reliability.
