Cnn's richard quest set out on his first solo cruise in a 19-foot potter 19. he ran two additional jacklines to secure cargo and brought fresh food - 320 pounds! quest found that despite being designed for cruising, the boat behaved quite well in the open ocean and the trade winds. quest also got to see the particular style of anchoring and stern tie that is used at the 10'
Jump to navigation Jump to search This write-up will cover analysis of the Microchip (ATMEL) SAM4C32 microcontroller vulnerability that allows an attacker to gain unlocked JTAG access to a previously locked device. This attack appears to affect many devices (though not all) in the SAM family. It was discovered that essentially the same attack performed by 0x01 Team on the SAM E70/S70/V70/V71 ...
Aaron Davis, a coffee researcher, created a "Wanted" poster for the rare coffee plant Stenophylla, which was last seen in the wild in 1954. He finally found the plant in Sierra Leone's forests in 2018 and discovered it has a superior taste to other coffee species.

Google DeepMind's Gemini 2.0 models enable robots to perform complex tasks without training, using multimodal outputs like text, video, and audio. The Gemini Robotics model allows robots to react to new objects, environments, and instructions without further training, making them highly dextrous and interactive.
The Mermaid Chart VS Code Plugin integrates Mermaid.js diagramming into VS Code for seamless workflow and collaboration. It offers real-time editing, syntax highlighting, and cloud sync features for team collaboration and large projects.
Hardware accelerated raytracing relies on an abstract data structure known as “acceleration structure” or “bls” for short. for example, a triangle node can store two triangles that share an edge, which requires just 4 vertices. the best results from the amd driver use 57 bytes/triangle - 11 more than the theoretical optimum. gpurt implements two major new nodes: bvh
ReelControl adds a progress bar and playback controls to social media videos, allowing users to know video length, rewind, and skip ahead. It's an open-source extension available on GitHub, built to help users take back control of their video experience.
Graft is an open-source transactional storage engine designed for lazy, partial replication with strong consistency, horizontal scalability, and object storage durability, ideal for offline-first and mobile apps. It combines the simplicity of physical replication with the efficiency of logical replication, allowing clients to selectively retrieve only the pages they'll actually use, reducing ...
Color is disappearing from our world due to a historical bias against color in Western philosophy. This bias has led to a preference for grayscale and neutral tones in design, branding, and art.

Amazon submitted a bid to purchase TikTok from its Chinese owners. The bid was sent to the White House in a letter ahead of a deadline.
A spate of research findings offer fresh evidence in the debate about whether peer reviewers should be paid for their time and expertise — a fraught topic that has provoked discussion among researchers. This month, two journals released data from their own experiments that suggest that offering payments of around US$250 to researchers who review manuscripts speeds up the process, without ...
Scientists have observed the gravitational deflection of starlight and distant galaxies, including Einstein Rings, which are circular distortions of light caused by perfectly aligned galaxies. The James Webb Space Telescope recently captured a beautiful example of an Einstein Ring, showcasing the power of modern telescopes in observing distant celestial objects.

Brian Eno's 1978 album Music for Airports is a slow, meditative piece that prepares listeners for death. It was first played at La Guardia airport in the 1980s and has since been performed live at various airports worldwide.
Croatian director Igor Bezinović's film "Fiume o Morte!" reenacts a tumultuous period in his hometown of Rijeka. The film combines nonfiction elements with fictionalizations of historical events, emphasizing the director's personal connection to the saga.
The user encountered a mysterious error while running yarn test on their React project, which was caused by a naming clash between Jest's sl command and a Steam Locomotive program named sl. The issue was resolved by renaming the Steam Locomotive program, and further investigation revealed that Jest was running the sl command 4 times to cover 16 root directories, resulting in a timeout after 27 seconds.
The user's experiment on germanium resistivity vs temperature found no exponential dependence as expected. Instead, they found noise and issues with equipment and lab support.
Charlotte "Betty" Webb, a 101-year-old decorated World War Two code breaker, has died. She was a last surviving Bletchley code breaker and received France's highest honour, the Légion d'Honneur, in 2021.
The document colour tracking dots are small systematic dots that encode information about the printer and printout, and can be read and decoded from a scanned image. A software tool called deda allows anonymisation of these dots to prevent tracking, and can also create custom tracking dots and anonymisation masks.

Framework for deep learning uses a similar approach to studying qk circuits. it re-writes the underlying model's computation on the prompt in terms of different basic units, with two modifications to the original model, says sanjay gupta, lead author of this paper. he says that fewer than three logits are required to capture 95% of the probability in the cases we study. this work focuses ...
A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar near Mandalay, causing extensive damage and killing over 100 people, with a predicted death toll of up to 10,000. The quake occurred along the Sagaing Fault, a strike-slip fault in Myanmar, and was preceded by a magnitude 6.7 aftershock.
Scientists at Georgia Tech discovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable in yeast over thousands of generations. The study found that WGD gave yeast an advantage in growing larger and forming multicellular clusters, allowing it to persist and drive adaptation.
