A new 10G USB 3.2 adapter from WisdPi offers a compact alternative to bulky Thunderbolt adapters, but its performance depends on the USB port's bandwidth. It reaches full 10 Gbps speed only with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 port, otherwise it's slower.
Google invests $10 billion in Anthropic, with potential for $30 billion more, to strengthen AI partnership. The investment will support Anthropic's expansion and computing capacity.
To accurately display FPS, use a rolling window of frames from the last second and precise timers, calculating the average processing time and then the FPS value from that. This approach provides a smooth and consistent FPS counter that is less affected by individual frame processing times and can be easily extended to track other performance metrics.
WUPHF is a shared office platform for teams, allowing agents to collaborate and share knowledge. It uses a local wiki and notebook system for knowledge management.
A questionnaire-based system estimates body measurements with high accuracy, outperforming photo-based methods without requiring a photo. The system uses a physics-aware loss and a small MLP trained on a synthetic dataset to predict 58 Anny body parameters with a mean error of 0.3 cm and 0.3 kg.
Knot theorists have developed tools called invariants to distinguish between knots, but most are either very strong or easy to compute, not both. Researchers Daniel Bar-Natan and Roland van der Veen have created a new knot invariant that is both strong and easy to compute.
The Widener family fortune was generated by electricity. Patriarch Peter Arrell Browne Widener may have started his career as a Philadelphia butcher who happened to receive a commission to supply mutton to all of the Union troops stationed within ten miles of Center City, but by diversifying his wealth into electric trolley lines, he had, by 1883, ensured that when he died thirty-two years ...
Two photographers captured 304 humpback whales in a single day off South Africa's west coast, the highest number ever recorded. The humpback population is recovering after a global whaling moratorium in 1986, with sightings of super-groups increasing rapidly.
Paraloid B-72 is a durable, non-yellowing acrylic resin used as an adhesive for conserving and restoring ceramic and glass objects. It is strong, flexible, and can be mixed with solvents to alter its properties, making it suitable for various applications.
ASCII diagramming tools offer limited visual choices for low-key diagramming and entry points to gen AI, combining old and new features. They promote self-constraint, making things easier and harder with AI, and celebrate the power of monospace plain text.
The user successfully reverse-engineered the firmware update process for their Rodecaster Duo, finding it to be a simple process involving HID commands and a gzipped tarball. They were able to create a custom firmware and enable SSH access, but are unsure why SSH was enabled by default.
The Q-Day Prize submission demonstrates a classical attack on ECDLP using uniform random noise, not a quantum attack. The submission's results are reproducible without any quantum hardware.
You're attending Babashka Conf on May 8 and Dutch Clojure Days on May 9. You're considering building a tool for semantic diffing in Emacs, after being dissatisfied with difftastic.
The user discusses various ways to speed up PCR, including reducing cycles, making faster polymerases, and using photonic PCR, but concludes that these methods may not be effective due to limitations in ramp rates and switching costs. Some users suggest alternative approaches, such as bespoke PCR machines, dynamic control of reaction components, and enzyme engineering, which could potentially ...
Archaeologists discovered a papyrus fragment of Homer's The Iliad in a Roman-era mummy in Egypt's Oxyrhynchus necropolis. The excavation also uncovered mummies, wooden coffins, and ancient artifacts, providing insights into burial traditions in Bahnasa during the Greek and Roman eras.
Panic, a game publisher, received bundles of mail from players expressing appreciation for their games. The mail included creative notes, gifts, and even a child's tooth.
Stash is a persistent memory layer for AI agents that learns from conversations and experiences, allowing them to remember users and build knowledge over time. It's designed to work with various AI platforms and models, providing a deeper understanding of users and their needs.
A Ph.D student in Physics/Cosmology at Shahid Beheshti University uses Blender's Geometry Nodes to visualize and compute cosmological data, including Cosmic Microwave Background radiation and galaxy lensing. The student shares techniques and examples of using Geometry Nodes for cosmology, including map transformations, aberration and Doppler boost effects, and spherical harmonic functions.
A modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, a classical framework for text-based user interfaces, has been created with cross-platform and Unicode support, allowing for smooth and efficient development of terminal applications. The new version includes various features such as improved usability, screen size support, and Unicode input and display capabilities, making it a powerful tool for developers.
iCloud uses HSM clusters to securely store and recover keychains with 10 attempt limit and SMS verification. If attempts exceed 10, the escrow record is destroyed and the keychain is lost forever.
Researchers are developing a theory called learning mechanics to describe deep learning properties and statistics. This theory combines ongoing research to provide a mechanics perspective on the learning process.
The rise of AI in education threatens to confuse language with learning, making it easy to mistake verbal fluency for understanding. To combat this, educators should focus on forming honest minds through genuine encounters with difficulty, intellectual honesty, and responsibility for truth.
Diners are a distinctive part of American food culture, often featuring a silvery surface and welcoming entrance. They have been a staple for truck drivers and others working long hours, serving classic breakfast and lunch staples.
Email's early history involved a complex system called X.400, which had features like recall and encryption, but was difficult to use and implement. SMTP, a simpler protocol, eventually became the standard for email, outliving X.400 due to its ease of use and rapid iteration.
Creative people sharing their process can create invested followings and avoid pitching problems. This type of communication is like having a physical business sign, showing "I am here, working."
