Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) are raising hopes for accelerating scientific discovery by autonomously generating and validating new ideas. However, evaluations have not proven that LLM systems can produce expert-level ideas or complete the research process. A study compares expert NLP researchers to an LLM ideation agent, finding that LLM-generated ideas are more […]

Researchers are buzzing about the recent introduction of Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KANs), a new type of neural network that shows great promise in scientific discovery. KANs tackle the challenge of interpretability that has long plagued traditional neural networks, offering transparency and insight into how they reach conclusions. In a groundbreaking study, KANs demonstrated the ability to […]
Horton’s question brought up a crucial point: the lack of discussion on dissecting sauropods. They are curious about the lung and air sac system of titanosaur sauropods, given their quarter-century of research into sauropod respiratory systems. Birds, which survived the K-Pg disaster due to their small size, might not represent the apex of saurischian lung […]
Researchers developed the GAZExploit attack in two parts: first, analyzing the gaze behavior of users typing on a virtual keyboard using Vision Pro headsets, and second, using geometric calculations to determine the position and size of the virtual keyboard. By combining these elements, they were able to predict typed letters with high accuracy, including passwords […]
The author describes their experience with soldering stations, expressing skepticism towards “smart” USB-C soldering irons until trying out the iFixit FixHub. The system consists of a Smart Soldering Iron and Portable Power Station, with impressive features including rapid heating, portability, and easy customization through WebSerial interfaces. A unique aspect is the iron’s ability to be […]
Last month, we acquired PeerDB, specializing in Postgres CDC, making it easy to replicate data to ClickHouse. This guide helps transitioning Postgres users understand ClickHouse’s data modeling for optimal benefits. PeerDB uses the ReplacingMergeTree engine for mapping PostgreSQL tables to ClickHouse efficiently, supporting append-only workloads. ClickHouse delivers exceptional real-time ingestion performance through deduplication with the […]

Interest in space and astronomy is at an all-time high, but traditional telescopes can be frustrating and difficult to use. Smart telescopes, like those from Vanois and Unistellar, are revolutionizing the hobby by aligning themselves, working autonomously, and cutting through light pollution. These telescopes focus on astrophotography, not observational astronomy, using image sensors to provide […]
The Compute and Performance Engineering teams at Netflix tackle performance issues in their multi-tenant environment by leveraging eBPF to monitor noisy neighbor problems. This blog post details how they use eBPF to continuously instrument the Linux scheduler to catch run queue latency issues efficiently. By accessing kernel data structures through eBPF, the teams can identify […]
The author details their complete overhaul of their home networking setup, transitioning from TP-Link to Ubiquiti’s Unifi devices. Facing challenges with their concrete home’s Wi-Fi coverage, they strategically deploy multiple Access Points per floor. They dive deep into configuring the Router, APs, and Switches, emphasizing the importance of optimizing channels and transmission powers for maximum […]
