Clifford’s Geometric Algebra offers a new perspective on vector spaces, accommodating elements of any dimension. Vectors, bivectors, scalars, rotors, and multivectors play key roles in this algebra. The Geometric Algebras for 2D and 3D vectors naturally incorporate rotations, with the 2D algebra resembling complex numbers and the 3D algebra mirroring quaternions. Projective Geometric Algebra expands […]

In the world of betting, papal elections have not been immune. Pope Gregory XIV took drastic action against gambling on papal elections, establishing excommunication as the punishment. Leighton Vaughan Williams and David Paton dug into this strange tradition in the 2013 papal election, adding a unique spin to the betting history of conclaves, which has […]
Author: “Working on transforming my iMac G4 was a rollercoaster of highs and lows. The Juicy Crumb DockLite G4 turned the iMac’s screen into an HDMI monitor, but color banding and low resolution left me wanting more. So, I took the leap and upgraded to a 4K 17″ LCD from a Dell XPS. The process […]
U.S. Army soldier Cameron John Wagenius leaked phone records of U.S. officials and extorted companies with stolen data. Wagenius searched for non-extradition countries, questioned if hacking could be treason, and contacted foreign military intelligence. Prosecutors revealed Wagenius may have additional charges beyond what he pleaded guilty to. Wagenius faces possibly ten years in prison per […]
DualPipe is a groundbreaking bidirectional pipeline parallelism algorithm from the DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report. It excels in achieving full overlap of forward and backward computation-communication phases while minimizing pipeline bubbles. The unique scheduling example showcases the symmetry of micro-batches in two directions. DualPipe stands out with its efficient memory usage and reduced pipeline bubbles compared to […]

Telescope is a web-based log viewer UI designed for exploring log data stored in ClickHouse. Users can configure connections to their ClickHouse databases, run queries, and analyze logs efficiently. Key features include source management, data explorer with dynamic visualizations, and role-based access control. Currently in beta, Telescope may have incomplete features and bugs. Future plans […]
Breakeven fusion is on the horizon, but the first-of-a-kind reactors will be expensive and require significant maintenance with low capacity factors, resulting in much higher electricity costs on the grid. However, Maritime Fusion is pioneering fusion technology for marine applications, aiming to provide a cost-effective and emission-free alternative to traditional fuels. By focusing on ships, […]
Golioth experienced connectivity issues on a vendor’s cellular chipset series, leading to a deep investigation. Reports pointed to erratic behavior after firmware updates. The Zephyr network shell showed successful DNS resolutions despite the error logs. The issue resided in the modem firmware, which was difficult to access and debug due to encryption. Nordic Semiconductor, though […]
Rivers usually merge to form larger ones, but exceptions exist such as bifurcations when rivers split and flow in different directions, mainly near the sea, creating deltas. The Casiquiare Canal in South America is a prime example, linking the Amazon and Orinoco River systems. Bifurcations can also occur inland, creating “bifurcation islands,” like the massive […]
