Researchers at the University of British Columbia and Dalhousie University have found a young galaxy cluster that appears far hotter than theory allows. The international team, working with the National Research Council of Canada and using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, reported the discovery in the journal Nature. The study was led by Dazhi Zhou, a doctoral student in the UBC department of physics and astronomy. The work also involved Dr. Scott Chapman, a professor at Dalhousie University and an affiliate professor at UBC, who carried out much of the research while at the National Research Council of Canada. The scientists focused on a distant system called SPT2349–56. It existed just 1.4...

At the risk of starting a controversy: is there anyone who goes to the effort of setting up Home Assistant who wouldn’t really rather be living on the Enterprise-D? If such a person exists, it’s not [steve-gibbs5], who has not only put together a convincing LCARS dashboard on an Android tablet, but has also put together an easy-to-follow Instructable so you can too. In case you’ve been monkishly avoiding television since the mid-1980s, LCARS is the high-tech touchscreen interface used on Star Trek: The Next Generation and its sequels. It’s an iconic, instantly-recognizable aesthetic, and we think [Steve] nailed it, even if he was taking design cues from Voyager, which is… not everyone’s favorite...

Billy Woods has one of the highest batting averages in the game. Between his solo records like Hiding Places and Maps, and his collaborative albums with Elucid as Armand Hammer, the man has multiple stone-cold classics under his belt. And, while no one would ever claim that Woods' albums were light-hearted fare (these are not party records), Golliwog represents his darkest to date.
This is not your typical horrorcore record. Others, like Geto Boys, Gravediggaz, and Insane Clown Posse, reach for slasher aesthetics and shock tactics. But what Billy Woods has crafted is more A24 than Blumhouse. Sure, the first track is called "Jumpscare," an …

The classic thought experiment about a horse-sized duck and a hundred duck-sized horses is more than a joke. It captures a deep tradeoff between quantity and quality that shows up in nature, including in the tiny societies under your feet. How Ant Societies Tackle the Quantity–Quality Dilemma A new study shows that some ant species solved this tradeoff by going all in on numbers. Instead of building each worker as a heavily armored fortress, they invest less in individual protection and redirect those nutrients into making more ants. That choice, the researchers found, did not doom those species. It paid off. Colonies with cheaper, less protected workers often became bigger and more evolutionarily...

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is one of those specialised manufacturing processes that are traditionally expensive and therefore somewhat underrepresented in the DIY and hacker scenes. It’s with great delight that we present EnderSpark, a solution to not one but two problems. The first problem is how to perform CNC operations on hard-to-machine materials such as hardened metals (without breaking the bank). The second problem is what to do with all those broken and forgotten previous-generation Creality Ender 3D printers we know you have stashed away.

Dans un message posté sur X dimanche soir, Reza Pahlavi offre une alternative aux fonctionnaires du régime, aux membres de l’armée et aux forces de l’ordre : « se ranger du côté du peuple et devenir les alliés de la nation, ou choisir la complicité avec les assassins du peuple et porter à jamais la honte et la condamnation de la nation. »

Earlier this month, The Guardian published an investigation that showed Google was serving up misleading and outright false information via its AI overviews in response to certain medical inquiries. Now those results appear to have been removed. According to the original report: In one case that experts described as "really dangerous", Google wrongly advised people with pancreatic cancer to avoid high-fat foods. Experts said this was the exact opposite of what should be recommended, and may increase the risk of patients dying from the disease.
In another "alarming" example, the company provided bogus information about crucial liver func …

It happens every year: we set ambitious New Year's resolutions - work out more, spend less, keep the house cleaner - full of optimism and motivation. Then life happens, and suddenly it's June and you can't recall what your resolutions even were. But it doesn't have to be that way. Sometimes the problem isn't a lack of motivation but rather a lack of tools, the kind that can make those goals feel more manageable and easier to achieve. After all, the right gear can help turn good intentions into habits that actually last.

L'actu de la semaine décryptée par Conspiracy Watch (du 05/01/2026 au 11/01/2026).

At some point during our primary school careers, most of us probably constructed a simple compass, often by floating a magnetized needle on a cork in a cup of water. The water in such a configuration not only lets the needle spin without friction, but also dampens out (so to speak) the needle’s tendency to swing back and forth across the north-south line. Liquid-filled compasses use the same principle, but even well-made compasses can develop bubbles when exposed to temperature or pressure variations. Rather than accept this unsightly state of affairs, [The Map Reading Company] designed a new kind of liquid-free, inductively-damped compass.
It’s hard to design a compass that settles quickly, even if it...

With demonstrations in dozens of cities across Iran, Ali Khamenei and his regime are faced with a dilemma.

If you're one of the many, many people who received a password reset email from Instagram the other day, the company says it fixed the issue. What was the issue? Unclear. We reached out to Meta for clarification and have yet to receive a response. All we know is that an "external party" triggered the emails, and Instagram says you can safely ignore them. The company posted on X that the issue had been fixed and also claimed there was no breach of its systems. This seemingly contradicts reports from Malwarebytes, which said that information on 17.5 million Instagram accounts, including usernames, physical addresses, phone numbers, and email …

Australia’s construction sector may be on the brink of a quiet revolution, one built from soil, water, and something most people throw away. Engineers at RMIT University have developed a new building material that dramatically cuts carbon emissions while giving waste cardboard a second life. The material, called cardboard-confined rammed earth, could reshape how homes and small buildings are designed, especially in a warming world under pressure to reduce emissions. Concrete has long been the backbone of modern construction, but it comes with a heavy environmental cost. Cement and concrete production account for roughly 8 percent of global carbon emissions each year. At the same time, Australia sends more...

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is in line to potentially earn $35 billion in stock options, so long as the company hits a $100 billion market cap. One way to hit that target is by cutting costs, and one way of cutting costs is to close down a bunch of stores. The company closed 590 stores in fiscal year 2024, and said in a recent SEC filing that it anticipates "closing a significant number of additional stores in fiscal 2025." With the fiscal year set to end on January 31st, it appears the race is on, and according to a blog tracking closures, GameStop is planning on shuttering (or already has) over 430 stores this month.

La politique violemment anti-immigration du président américain met à mal les accords passés entre Washington et une bonne dizaine de micronations de l’océan Pacifique.

Nombre de ces petits restaurants populaires baissent le rideau, rapporte le “Jornal de Notícias”, et sont remplacés notamment par des chaînes de fast-food. Confrontés à l’envolée des prix des matières premières, les professionnels du secteur réclament au gouvernement une baisse de la TVA pour que survive ce pilier de la gastronomie portugaise et du tourisme.

Le président de Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel a assuré dimanche que « personne ne dicte quoi faire » à son pays. Plus tôt, Donald Trump avait menacé l’île et republié sur sa plateforme Truth Social un message imaginant Marco Rubio président de Cuba.

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried to watch that activity in real time by shining lasers into the brain. Now a new tool lets brain cells light themselves from within, turning them into tiny living lanterns. Lighting Up the Brain From Within About a decade ago, a team of neuroscientists started asking a bold question: “What if we could light up the brain from the inside?” said Christopher Moore, a professor of brain science at Brown University. Instead of blasting tissue with outside light, they wondered if neurons could make their own glow. That idea led to the launch of the Bioluminescence Hub at Brown’s Carney...

Continuing his reverse-engineering of the Intel 8087, [Ken Shirriff] covers the conditional tests that are implemented in the microcode of this floating point processing unit (FPU). This microcode contains the details on how to perform the many types of specialized instructions, like cos and arctan, all of which decode into many microcode ops. These micro ops are executed by the microcode engine, which [Ken] will cover in more detail in an upcoming article, but which is effectively its own CPU.
Conditional instructions are implemented in hardware, integrating the states of various functional blocks across the die, ranging from the instruction decoder to a register. Here, the evaluation is performed as close as...

“Can Big Astronomy be nimble and economical? Eric Schmidt, the former chief executive of Google, and his wife Wendy are betting on yes. Schmidt Sciences, which is part of the Schmidts’ philanthropic efforts, is financing the construction of four major new telescopes, including one destined for orbit, that will rival the capabilities of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. And the organization aims to have all four telescopes up and running within four years, a sprint compared with the decade or longer span that world-class astronomical facilities often take to complete… Schmidt Sciences has for several years quietly financed preliminary design studies, technology development and prototypes.

A new study offers fresh hope for people living with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Researchers report progress toward a pill that lowers blood sugar and boosts fat burning without cutting appetite or weakening muscles. The findings come from a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University. The drug works very differently from popular treatments like Ozempic. Those medications rely on gut and brain signals to reduce hunger and are usually given by injection. While effective, they often bring nausea, stomach issues, appetite loss, and muscle decline. The new approach aims to avoid those problems by targeting how muscles use energy. Instead of telling the brain to eat less, the treatment...

[Ronan] likes 35mm film photography, but the world, of course, has gone digital. He picked up an Epson FilmScan 200 for about €10. This wonder device from 1997 promised to convert 35mm film to digital at 1200 DPI resolution. But there was a catch: it connects via SCSI. Worse, the drivers were forever locked to Windows 95/98 and Mac System 7/8.
In a surprise twist, though, [Ronan] recently resurrected a Mac SE/30 with the requisite SCSI port and the System 7 OS. Problem solved? Not quite. The official software is a plugin for Photoshop. So the obvious answer is to write new software to interact with the device. First, of course, you have to figure out how the device works. A service manual provided clues...
