An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Aerodynamic drag is a major "barrier" in high-speed airplanes, automobiles, and bullet trains. This is because a design with less aerodynamic drag allows the aircraft to move at higher speeds with less energy. When an aircraft or car body moves at high speed, a thin layer of air called the "boundary layer" is formed on its surface. This boundary layer has two states: laminar flow, in which air flows in an orderly fashion, and turbulent flow, which involves tur

23 июля Прабханджан Анант (Калифорнийский университет в Санта-Барбаре) и Амит Сахаи (UCLA) выложили на arXiv статью "Unconditional Unclonable Encryption", которая закрывает проблему, стоявшую перед квантовыми криптографами шесть лет. Но не меньше самого результата обсуждают короткий раздел в конце введения: конструкция и основные идеи доказательства были целиком сгенерированы агентом Codex на модели GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra.

Мыслящие в той или иной степени машины волнуют воображение людей где-то с конца XIX века, а ныне подобные штуки всё более активно становятся частью нашей реальности и быта. Задолго до того, как школьники стали «писать» сочинения посредством ChatGPT, а хикки — крутить цифровые «романы» с нейронками, писатели-фантасты и режиссёры создали немало ярких персонажей-роботов. Самых разных — от грозных машин-киллеров до трогательных или смехотворных. Попробуем вспомнить самых знаменитых и меметичных из... Read more ›

![[Перевод] Космический телескоп «Роман» будет искать древние чёрные дыры, наблюдая за тем, как они поглощают звёзды](https://times42.com/media/7/1/5/12778715_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Космический телескоп «Роман» будет искать древние чёрные дыры, наблюдая за тем, как они поглощают звёзды")
Сверхмассивные чёрные дыры (СМЧД) могут быть чрезвычайно неряшливыми «пожирателями». Когда звезда подходит слишком близко, огромная приливная сила СМЧД может не только втянуть звезду внутрь, но и растянуть её, разорвав на части, прежде чем поглотить. И это полезно для астрофизиков, поскольку так СМЧД легче обнаружить. Когда СМЧД разрывает звезду на части, это называется событием приливного разрушения (СПР). Оторванный от звезды звёздный материал собирается в аккреционное кольцо вокруг чёрной дыры, нагревает Read more ›

Windows 10 still runs on 16.9% of the Windows devices monitored by asset-tracking service Lansweeper. That's more than one in six, The Register points out. A year ago, the operating system accounted for about half of the machines in its dataset, falling to the low-to-mid 40% range by the time Microsoft ended standard support. The decline continued after that, reaching 18.6% in June, but Lansweeper says migration has now slowed... Read more ›
