In this paper, the authors address the challenge of finding a Hamiltonian formulation for a viscous fluid system, like the Navier-Stokes equations, which are non-Hamiltonian. By considering a higher-order problem and providing additional conditions, they were able to transform a non-Hamiltonian problem into one with Hamiltonian structure. This surprising method, demonstrated through a simple example, […]

In the future, text editing tools will revolutionize the way we manipulate written content, much like Photoshop did for images. These new tools will allow users to easily alter, summarize, and lengthen text in a variety of styles. While text manipulation may seem more complex than image editing due to language rules, AI models are […]
Congenital Aphantasics are individuals who cannot generate mental images, as confirmed by low scores on the VVIQ2 questionnaire. While Derek experiences detailed imagined audio and visual experiences, Loren does not have imagined audio experiences, inner monolog, or audio/visual dreams. Loren’s unique visual experiences, including motion aftereffects and tilt illusions, suggest minimal impact from expectations or […]
The author provides a straightforward explanation of PID controllers, which are used to control processes by adjusting inputs based on sensor measurements and a set target value. Examples include controlling temperature in a 3D printer, regulating speed in a vehicle, and managing blood pressure in medicine. The author then delves into the components of PID […]
ohmyksh is a framework that enhances OpenBSD’s ksh by providing completions for common tasks like man pages, SSH known hosts, and Git commands. It also offers extensions for importing bulk functionality such as Git-prompt and OpenBSD-specific tooling, as well as prompts for minimal yet useful prompts. Unique features include a tool for quickly changing directories, […]
In the UK, a Zenfone buyer successfully sued ASUS over a broken promise to provide bootloader unlocking support, receiving a full refund of £770. ASUS phones previously had easy-to-use tools for unlocking, but as of last year, accessing the bootloader is no longer possible on recent models. This has caused controversy among buyers, leading to […]
The Parker Solar Probe captured footage of massive “vortex-like structures” in the sun’s outer atmosphere, possibly caused by a coronal mass ejection interacting with the solar wind. The rare vortices, known as Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, offer new insights into understanding and predicting potentially harmful CMEs on Earth. The probe, constructed with a carbon heat shield, will […]
The author delves into the history and evolution of Source Control Management (SCM) Systems, highlighting the significant impact of systems like SCCS in the 70s and RCS in the 80s. The focus is on detailing the specific limitations and improvements of these early systems, such as the use of deltas, adding comments to commits, and […]
Loki is an open-source tool that automates fact verification by breaking down lengthy texts into individual claims, filtering out vague statements, generating queries, crawling for evidence, and verifying claims. It is beneficial for journalists, researchers, and anyone interested in verifying information. This tool includes components like Decomposer, Checkworthy, Query Generator, Evidence Crawler, and ClaimVerify. Users […]
In this paper, we present DARE, a technique that allows Language Models (LMs) to acquire new capabilities by assimilating parameters from similar models without retraining or GPUs. DARE sets delta parameters to zeros without impacting the abilities of Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) LMs, helping to sparsify parameters and merge multiple models into one. Experimental results show […]
