Because these so-called "roll waves" propagate without deforming and are typically characterized by abrupt discontinuities, they play an important role in hydraulic engineering. Understanding unsteady flows like roll waves is crucial for the design, management and safety of hydraulic structures such as dam spillway chutes.
Christopher Nolan's engrossing take on The Odyssey dominated at the box office and spurred a newfound interest in classic literature among filmgoers. But a new retelling of the story made entirely with AI is so bad that it might just make viewers hate the original book altogether. The new film, called Odysseus: The Fall, comes via AI firm Fountain 0 and is written and directed by company cofounder Ash Koosha, who also lent his likeness to the title character and created all of the music. (The film's credits are very short.) The studio's only previous work is an AI film called Dreams of Violets

Joe Rossignol, MacRumors: Apple just seeded the first beta of iOS 27.2 to developers for testing. Yes, you read that correctly: iOS 27.2, not iOS 27.1. Why no iOS 27.1 beta? The answer likely relates to the iPhone Duo. This unusual version numbering is entirely about the Duo. The Duo is on its own fork of iOS — heretofore to keep details about its software secret / internal to Apple. When it launches October 23, Apple has already announced it will ship with iOS 27.1. Apple is thus using 27.2 as the version number for the first post-27.0 updates to all of its OSes for devices other than the Duo
The consumer data broker Radaris.com has long had a reputation for ignoring requests to remove personal information from its vast empire of people-search services online. That reputation caught up with the company recently in a lawsuit alleging Radaris violated a New Jersey privacy law that provides for hefty fines against data brokers that publish personal information on state law enforcement officials. In the face of repeated stonewalling and prevarication by attorneys for Radaris, the judge in the case ordered that radaris.com and more than a dozen other data broker domains be transferred t
Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude In hopefully good news for anyone who, like me, was increasingly confused at Cowork v.s. Claude v.s. Claude Code: Starting today, Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude. Bring a quick question, or hand over a report due at noon, and Claude takes it from there, even after you’ve closed your laptop. [...] This is rolling out to Pro and Max plans first, in the Claude app on web, desktop, and mobile over the coming weeks to existing and new users on these plans. I guess this means Claude is becoming a general agent in its own right. Echoes of O

AUSTIN, Texas—A chair with Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian’s name on it sat empty Tuesday in the hearing room of the Texas House Committee on Energy Resources. Committee Chairman Drew Darby had called Christian to testify before the panel, which oversees the Railroad Commission, regulator of the state’s powerful oil and gas industry. Christian failed to […]
by Fei Wu - This work was partially conducted during my internship at the EF. I thank my mentor @misilva73 for valuable discussions, feedback, and comments. Overview In the previous EIP-7999 bundle-priced equilibrium analysis, we identify the execution-clearing boundary — the maximum execution target that can clear before the execution equilibrium base fee reaches 1 wei for a given data target. Building on that equilibrium analysis, this post simulates the EIP-7999 multi-dimensional fee market dynamically by adding block-level demand variation and the fee update rules. We recover block-level e

Edit: the RSS feeds are back! I don't know why this couldn't have been done when the new web page designs rolled out, but you can find the feed addresses here. I'm also not sure why no one there got around to telling me (and many others) about this, but I am glad to have the functionality back. A longtime Pipeline reader just alerted me to this. But I'm not sure it's all back! At least in my reader (NewsBlur), the graphical abstracts are not displaying, which is not the idea, guys. I'd be glad to hear from other people using other software: are these feeds working for you? Can you see the enti

Automatic translation by Bittrees-hosted AI. The source link opens the original publication.Spekboom (Portulacaria afra) is an easy-to-grow succulent shrub, small tree or hedge. In the wild, it grows naturally as tall as five meters (16 feet) on steep slopes and rocky hillsides in the Karoo and Eastern Cape regions of South Africa, where it helps stabilize soil and prevent erosion. It's also a champion of carbon sequestration—removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
E-waste from the AI boom has been vastly underestimated, a new report warns. By 2050, it could become enough trash to fill 23 million shipping containers - roughly enough 40-foot containers to circle the world six times if lined up in a row. It's a significantly higher estimate of AI's e-waste than previous studies have found because the authors of the new report factor in all the infrastructure needed to support servers in data centers. The broader scope provides a clearer picture of junk AI leaves behind, according to the nonprofit Basel Action Network (BAN), which published the paper today.
Nicolai Tangen sits down with Jon McNeill, CEO and Co-Founder of DVx Ventures and author of The Algorithm: The Hypergrowth Formula That Transformed Tesla, Lululemon, General Motors and SpaceX. Having spent three years as President of Tesla reporting directly to Elon Musk before serving as COO of Lyft, McNeill draws on that experience to lay out his five-step formula: question every requirement, delete unnecessary steps, simplify, accelerate, and automate last. They discuss Tesla's near-collapse during Model 3 production, its industry-beating profit margins, and how McNeill spots talent through
In 1852, the mathematician Francis Guthrie was coloring in a map of English counties when he noticed that he needed only four colors. Was this always true, he wondered? The question captured the imagination of hobbyists and professionals alike — and in 1976, the mathematicians Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken proved it, rather controversially using computers. Recently, mathematicians have revisited the four-color theorem and found a more efficient way to color maps with just four colors. On this episode of The Quanta Podcast, host Samir Patel speaks with writer Greg Barber about the “four-colo
