The STAR collaboration has released new results based on their imaging-by-smashing technique revealing uranium-238 could actually be pear-shaped Schematic illustration of high energy collisions of “pear-shaped” uranium-238 (exaggerated in size and shape) Courtesy: Chunjian Zhang (Fudan University) and Jiangyong Jia (Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Lab) High-energy heavy-nuclei collisions, conducted at particle colliders such as CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and BNL’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are able to produce a state of matter called a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). A QGP is believed to have existed just after the Big Bang. The building blocks of protons and neutrons –…
AI-assisted programming has moved far beyond autocomplete. Large language models are now capable of editing entire codebases, coordinating long-running tasks, and collaborating across multiple systems. As these capabilities mature, the core challenge in software development is shifting away from writing code and toward orchestrating work, managing context, and maintaining shared understanding across fleets of agents. Steve Yegge is a software engineer, writer, and industry veteran whose essays have shaped how many developers think about their work. Over the past year, Steve has been exploring the frontier of agentic software development, building tools like Beads and Gas Town to experiment with…

Behind every commercial vehicle is a driver facing increased pressure and rising safety concerns. Today at Geotab Connect, Geotab Inc. announced the expansion of the GO Focus Family to include the new GO Focus Pro Dash Cam. The launch comes as Geotab research highlights a critical tension in the transport industry: while 95% of Irish commercial drivers recognise the benefits of video telematics for their own protection, they are operating under unprecedented strain. Other recent Geotab findings show that 99% of Irish drivers believe road risks have increased over the last five years, with work-related stress identified as a primary…
News The sale to NJJ and Millicom marks the latest step in Telefonica’s Latin American retreat This week, Telefonica has announced it has sold its Chilean mobile unit to Millicom and NJJ, a pair of companies both owned by French billionaire Xavier Niel. The deal, valued at $1.2 billion, will see NJJ take a 51% of the business and Millicom a 49% stake. Despite holding the smaller stake, Millicom will operate the business on a day-to-day basis. “This gives NJJ and Millicom operational control from day one and the ability to capture long-term growth potential at an attractive valuation, without…
Results for the online settingThe real complexity lies in the online setting, where jobs arrive dynamically and the scheduler must make immediate, irrevocable decisions without knowing what jobs will arrive next. We quantified the performance of an online algorithm via its competitive ratio, which is the worst case comparison between the throughput of our online algorithm and the throughput of an optimal algorithm that is aware of all the jobs apriori.The standard non-preemptive algorithms fail completely here as their competitive ratio approaches zero. This happens because a single bad decision of scheduling a long job can ruin the possibility of…
Go 1.26 has been released. The latest version of the Google-built programming language enables the higher performing Green Tea garbage collector (GC) by default. It also introduces a change to generic types that simplifies the implementation of complex data structures. Introduced February 10, Go 1.26 can be downloaded from go.dev. The Green Tea GC, included as an experimental feature in last year’s Go 1.25, brings a 10% to 40% reduction in garbage collection overhead in real-world programs that make heavy use of garbage collection, the Go team said. This is because it improves the performance of marking and scanning small…
Ravie LakshmananFeb 12, 2026Cybersecurity / Hacking News Threat activity this week shows one consistent signal — attackers are leaning harder on what already works. Instead of flashy new exploits, many operations are built around quiet misuse of trusted tools, familiar workflows, and overlooked exposures that sit in plain sight. Another shift is how access is gained versus how it’s used. Initial entry points are getting simpler, while post-compromise activity is becoming more deliberate, structured, and persistent. The objective is less about disruption and more about staying embedded long enough to extract value. There’s also growing overlap between cybercrime, espionage tradecraft,…
Packaging is no longer just about protecting the packed product. It becomes a branding tool if designed properly. Don’t know how packaging design influences buying decisions? There is no need to worry at all. This guide helps you know the packaging design that influences buying decisions. Packaging design impact on sales and customer perception. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive in and explore how packaging design influences buying decisions: What Is Packaging Design and Why Does It Matter? The design of the packaging refers to the visual, structural, and functional elements. Take a look at some of the…
Published on: February 6, 2026AI is changing how we build apps. That’s not news. What might be less obvious is how this shift is forcing us to think differently about what actually matters in development. In this post, I want to share my balanced thoughts on AI-driven coding. I’d like to give you my perspective on why tons of new apps on the store isn’t as scary as it might seem, and how AI is making iteration cheaper than ever. I’d also like to explore how the human touch separates polished products from vibe-coded slop when your driven by providing…
