  • Patches Provide For Much Faster In-Kernel Zstd Due To Embarrassingly Bad Inefficiency

    Jump

  • Is it that slow outside of a VM? Either way, this seems like a very sensible patch.

    Jump

  • That's the tail of a cat that wants to be friends.

  • World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at sea

    Jump

  • Is that true globally? I seem to remember that some ocean areas wouldn't have as many satellites visible as e.g. polar orbits don't visit all of the globe.

  • It also doesn't pretend the page failed to load when it detects an ad blocker.

  • World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at sea

    Jump

  • The only thing I can think is that they're comparing with a single system (e.g. GPS or BeiDou), even though GNSS receivers will combine all four systems to get very high accuracy (a few metres).

  • Loki being liquid

    Jump

  • That cactus on the right just adds to the confusing picture - my brain wanted to see a tail.

  • Or they're if cheaper because of subsidies, for example China's cars.

  • Kusama Yayoi Dies at 97

    Jump

  • Translation of the article:

    Yayoi Kusama, the world-renowned avant-garde artist and recipient of the Order of Culture known for her colorful polka dots, net patterns, and pumpkin sculptures, died of multi-organ failure at a hospital in Tokyo on the 14th. She was 97. A native of Nagano Prefecture, her funeral was held by close relatives. A memorial service is planned for a later date.

    She moved to the United States in 1957 and was based primarily in New York until her return to Japan in 1973. She gained attention for her street performances protesting the Vietnam War, such as painting polka dots on naked men and women, earning her the nickname "The Queen of Happenings."

    Her trademark countless polka dots and nets originated from hallucinations she had suffered from since childhood. She began drawing them as a way to escape her fear and anxiety. In addition to paintings and prints, she produced a wide variety of works, including "soft sculptures" made of stuffed fabric and the "Pumpkin" sculpture installed on Naoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture.

    Her international and domestic reputation soared from the 1990s onward; she represented Japan at the 1993 Venice Biennale and had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1998. Between 2011 and 2012, major museums across Europe and the United States held large-scale retrospectives of her work.

  • Sam may have Lombax ancestry

    Jump

  • Ted retired last year so there's a bit more on him out there, but I didn't have luck searching for the word "stripes" in them - possibility a proper search would have more luck.

  • Why is everyone obsessed with therapy

    Jump

  • Are you American? As a European, it seems that Americans are obsessed with therapy, whereas I don't think it's at all common over here.

  • In today's episode of Sake lays on anything: aluminum foil.

    Jump

  • Weird - most cats don't like tin foil and you can use it to stop them jumping up on counter surfaces.

  • First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity

    Jump

  • I'm guessing it mostly flew in circles, since it's a test flight that happened "at Plattsburgh International Airport" instead of between two locations. 27 minute flight, whatever that's worth.

  • I'm leaving OpenAI to build Jurassic Park - by Taylor Troesh

  • Some top tier charts in there

  • What is the worst subtle insult you've ever heard?

    Jump

  • It's great, but not very subtle

  • A Physicist Rigged His Pet Hamster’s Wheel to Upload to Strava. It Runs Surprisingly Far Every Night

    Jump

  • The one thing he didn’t plan for was that auto-uploading the files this way required a paid account.

    “There was really only one reasonable solution: my hamster now has Strava Premium,” de Buck said.

    Love the commitment to the bit. I was unsurprised to learn that the owner is a physicist and an injured runner meaning he has both the time and motivation to geek out on data and live vicariously.

  • Beavers Build Dam and Save Officials $1.2M in Construction Costs in the Czech Republic

    Jump

  • The Brdy dam was intended to restore the area to its natural state, decades after the Czech military built a bypass gully that drained its surroundings.

    The beaver version is sure to be more natural than anything a human would manage, with less disruption. Another bonus is that the officials are now incentivised to protect the beavers as they're maintaining infrastructure.
