A rare fern species from New Caledonia, Tmesipteris oblanceolata, has set a new record with the largest genome of any living organism on the planet, containing over 50 times more DNA than humans. This discovery dethroned the previous record-holder, the Japanese flowering plant species Paris japonica. The fern’s genome size of 160.45 gigabase pairs is […]
Mathematicians have spent years trying to find a Hamiltonian cycle in graphs. In 2023, Benny Sudakov and his colleagues found a breakthrough, proving that expanders graphs always contain such cycles. Expander graphs behave like random graphs but do not require randomness, making them highly interconnected and efficient for various applications like online social networks and […]
The author discusses how to detect PS2 emulators through exploiting a multiplication issue in the VU developer manuals, where 1 * X may not be the same as X * 1. The process involves identifying a number that triggers this problem, such as 129.5, and checking the results through a straightforward method using specific registers. […]
The author details the significant and rewarding journey of rewriting their progscrape project in Rust from Python, achieving impressive performance benchmarks on a Raspberry Pi despite modest hardware. They highlight the use of Tantivy, a fast search engine library in Rust, and the seamless integration of nearly half a million stories. Exciting new features include […]
The Backrooms image, a simple shot of an empty series of rooms, has sparked a wave of creativity and storytelling revolving around the mysterious location known as The Backrooms. Originally thought to be just an unsettling photograph, the image gained legendary status when it was claimed to be a rare photograph of The Backrooms, a […]
mamba.np is a NumPy-based implementation of Mamba, designed for academic research purposes. The program allows users to analyze text data efficiently, with a token count of 18 taking only 18.57 seconds to process. Users are encouraged to cite the project when using mamba.np in their work. Developed by Ido Hakimi, mamba.np is available under the […]
Dr. Manisha Caleb from the University of Sydney Institute for Astronomy has published on a peculiar neutron star that is rotating exceptionally slowly, a rarity amongst the more than 3000 discovered neutron stars to date. This discovery challenges current understandings of radio neutron star behavior and provides new perspectives on stellar life cycles. Utilizing the […]
This post discusses the creation of a custom 3dfx-powered video card for laptops with MXM slots. The author details the challenges faced in making the card compatible with different systems and how they overcame them. They share images of the board and its size compared to a standard Voodoo 4. The author also demonstrates the […]
The LaTeX Project showcases a collection of Well Tagged PDF documents conforming to PDF/UA-2, including examples of math equations, arXiv papers, course notes, and conference papers. The files were generated using LuaLaTeX. While there are limited validators for UA-2 compliance, viewers that modify PDFs may break the standard. Examples include MathML-associated files for tagging mathematics, […]
