NeuralDEM is a groundbreaking real-time simulation method for industrial particulate flows that replaces traditional Discrete Element Method (DEM) routines with innovative deep learning surrogates. This approach allows for fast and accurate modeling of complex scenarios, such as hopper discharge and fluidized bed reactors, that were previously computationally intensive. NeuralDEM introduces physics representation by modeling DEM […]

Money is a powerful natural force that shapes human existence, as emphasized by Joseph Brodsky. His essay on Dostoevsky delves into the relevance of financial struggle in producing great works of literature. Brodsky highlights the influence of a precarious financial condition on writers like Dostoevsky, Faulkner, and others, suggesting that moderate suffering can fuel creativity. […]
The Jenny Jam Blog explores the idea of using mixins in C++ to add code and logic to high-level concepts, similar to Rust traits and C++ concepts. The proposed framework deviates from standard C++ by using Result or Option classes for error handling, default constructors for non-trivial objects, and assert statements for objects in a […]
When it comes to cameras, bigger isn’t always better. Researchers from Princeton University and the University of Washington have developed an ultra-compact camera system, the size of a grain of salt, using metasurface technology. This camera, 500,000 times smaller than conventional cameras, produces full-color images of similar quality. By combining innovative hardware design with AI-powered […]
Twenty years after his tragic death in a motorcycle accident in Nigeria, the legacy of Prince Nico Mbarga, creator of the hit song “Sweet Mother,” remains largely unnoticed by global media outlets. Despite selling over 13 million copies in Africa, surpassing The Beatles’ bestseller, his life story is condensed to a mere four paragraphs online. […]
The process of transforming data, whether in CSV or JSON format, into a structured representation depends on domain and business goals. The parsing process for different languages involves following formal grammars to ensure unambiguous interpretation. While human language is context-dependent and can vary based on culture and tone, computer language relies on deterministic interpretation. Noam […]
The author shares their excitement about finding a copy of FaSTer disk magazine in their Atari ST haul, highlighting its unique distribution on floppy disk. The magazine was Canadian and featured a user-friendly interface. Despite being more expensive than printed magazines, FaSTer had a one-of-a-kind format with articles in English and French. The author archives […]
Just weeks after the Klamath River dams were demolished, massive Chinook salmon return to spawn in their historic habitat, a sight local tribes have longed to see. In the largest dam removal project in U.S. history, salmon have already reached previously inaccessible waters, signaling hope for the river’s restoration. Post-dam removal, water quality has improved, […]
In the year 2101, Rebels in the Sky puts players in a world controlled by corporations, where freedom is found by joining a pirate crew and playing basketball for survival. The game is constantly evolving with frequent updates, so save files may need to be migrated or restarted. Connect via SSH to try the game, […]
glimpse into the intimate world of history’s greatest minds. From Machiavelli’s quiet refuge in the Tuscan countryside to Montaigne’s circular tower inscribed with ancient wisdom, the private study becomes a sanctuary where the living engage in dialogue with the dead. Through the act of reading, we become necromancers, reviving the voices of the past to […]
