Recommended Reading: Earth Is Spinning Faster Than Expected, And We May Have To Subtract A Whole Second From The World’s Clocks
Since the early 70’s, it has become standard operating procedure to add a leap second to account for the fact that astronomical time is 2.5ms slower than atomic time. In fact, between 1972 and 2016, a total of 27 seconds have been added as the rate of the earth’s rotation slowed. Over time, that rate …
Manifest AI – Linear Transformers Are Faster After All

One would expect that such an architecture …
Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’
It’s important to us that the Deck offers a fixed performance target for developers, and that the message to customers is simple, where every Deck can play the same games. As such, changing the performance level is not something we are taking lightly, and we only want to do so when there is a significant …
100x Faster Than Wi-Fi: Light-Based Networking Standard Released
Today, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has added 802.11bb as a standard for light-based wireless communications. The publishing of the standard has been welcomed by global Li-Fi businesses, as it will help speed the rollout and adoption of the data-transmission technology standard. Advantages of using light rather than radio frequencies (RF) are …
The universe is expanding faster than it should be
This image from the Hubble Space Telescope features the spiral galaxy Markarian 1337, which is roughly 120 million light-years away from Earth. In 2006, astronomers saw a certain kind of supernova explode in this galaxy, providing researchers with some of the data needed to determine the universe’s current rate of expansion. Source link
Trimming spaces from strings faster with SVE on an Amazon Graviton 3 processor – Daniel Lemire’s blog
Programmers sometimes need to trim, or remove, characters, such as spaces from strings. It might be a surprising expensive task. In C, the following function is efficient: size_t trimspaces(const char *s, size_t len, char *out) { char * init_out{out}; for(size_t i = 0; i < len; i++) { *out = s[i]; out += (s[i] != …
Earth Is Suddenly Spinning Faster. Why Our Planet Just Recorded Its Shortest Day Since Records Began
On June 29, 2022 our planet set a new record for its shortest day. getty As reported by TimeAndDate.com, on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 our planet set a new fastest record—as far as scientists can tell—for completing one rotation. It did so in 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours. Hang on! Earth takes exactly 24 …
Washington Task Force Recommends Faster Action on Sexual Misconduct Involving Health Care Professionals
Daniel Gilbert / The Seattle Times A task force formed by the Washington Department of Health has recommended taking faster action on sexual misconduct cases against health care professionals, according to a draft report reviewed by The Seattle Times. The Patient Safety Improvement Task Force is also weighing whether to make information public about such …
Ice shelf protecting Antarctic glacier is breaking up faster
A critical Antarctic glacier is looking more vulnerable as satellite images show the ice shelf that blocks it from collapsing into the sea is breaking up much faster than before and spawning huge icebergs, a new study says. The Pine Island Glacier’s ice shelf loss accelerated in 2017, causing scientists to worry that with climate …
