Engineers at MIT and in China have developed a passive solar desalination system that uses the sun’s heat to turn seawater into drinking water. The device, inspired by the ocean’s thermohaline circulation, allows water to evaporate while leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and collected as drinkable water. The system has […]

Astronomers have made an intriguing discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). They have identified a new galaxy, named JWST-ER1, that is massive and compact. This type of galaxy, known as a massive quiescent galaxy, could shed light on the process of galaxy evolution. One unique feature of JWST-ER1 is the presence of an […]
Open-source projects can’t simply imitate existing successful businesses and expect to succeed. Profit is crucial for open-source companies to hire employees and sustain themselves. While price may be a factor for early-stage companies, larger companies prioritize a good solution that is reliable and easy to manage. However, open source can win by solving transparency and […]
DarkBeam, a digital risk protection firm, inadvertently left an Elasticsearch and Kibana interface unprotected, resulting in the exposure of records from previous and unreported data breaches. This data leak has provided cybercriminals with access to user emails and passwords, presenting them with nearly limitless attack capabilities. The leaked data includes collections of login pairs, making […]
Carton is a machine learning framework that aims to decouple the inference code from specific frameworks like Torch or TF, allowing users to easily keep up with the cutting-edge. It boasts optimized async Rust code, resulting in an overhead of less than 100 microseconds per inference call for small inputs. The platform support includes x86_64 […]
Introducing the Lisp Badge LE, a low-power computer programmed in Lisp with its own display and keyboard. This self-contained device is powered by an AVR128DB48 microcontroller and features 128K bytes of flash memory, 16K bytes of RAM, and a low-power monochrome display. It is designed for programming on the go, with a readable display even […]
The Windows NT 3.1 kernel is incompatible with enhanced 486 processors that provide the CPUID instructions. This bug affects the KiSaveProcessorControlState function, resulting in incorrect detection of processor type. Specifically, the byte at offset 19h in the KPRCB is considered part of the model number, causing Windows NT 3.1 to treat a CPUID capable 80-4-86 […]
ating the Abusive Head Trauma Controversy, is a comprehensive textbook edited by the author and five other colleagues. It delves into the complex intersection of medicine, science, and law regarding shaken baby syndrome, also known as abusive head trauma. The book features contributions from 32 authors and explores the topic from multiple perspectives, including pediatrics, […]
In this part of the series, the author introduces the ability to set hardware breakpoints in the DbgRs debugger. They also make some cleanup changes to improve the code’s clarity and simplicity. The author explains that hardware breakpoints are controlled through the “Debug Registers” on x86 processors. They provide a detailed implementation and explanation of […]
This web content discusses a trade card from the 1890s, which acted as a form of Instagram in its time. The card depicted various illustrations of potential accidents, serving an important purpose in an era when insurance was not yet widely available. The verso of the trade card explained how insurance worked, emphasizing the idea […]
