Gravitační vlny připlavily ozvěnu srážky podivného objektu

Trio pozemních gravitačních observatoří loni na jaře spustilo čtvrtou sérii pozorování v moři gravitačních vln. Hned zpočátku ulovily pozoruhodnou srážku ze vzdálenosti 650 milionů světelných let, která zahrnovala neutronovou hvězdu a objekt o hmotnosti 2,5 až 4,5 Sluncí. Asi černá díra, ale černé díry s takovou hmotností by neměly existovat. http://www.osel.cz/13426-gravitacni-vlny-priplavily-ozvenu-srazky-podivneho-objektu.html

Court documents reveal just how much money Instagram makes for Meta—and it’s a lot

The ‘Gram is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Meta.

That’s one of the key takeaways from court documents filed by Meta last week, as the company attempts to get a federal antitrust lawsuit dismissed. Specifically, the documents say that Instagram generated advertising revenue totaling $32.4 billion in 2021, and $16.5 billion during the first half of 2022—up fr

The AI industry is growing up. And the stakes are only getting higher

ChatGPT was the tech story of 2023 because it put the power of language AI directly into the hands of consumers. And yet ChatGPT was just the outside wrapper, the user interface, sitting atop a stack of foundation models, server chips, and other enabling technologies all working in the background. And it’s from within the realm of these enabling technologies that some of 2023’s most meaningful advancem

Anatomie nesmyslu: Zatmění Slunce, CERN, anglický Antikrist a dárek z Indie

V pondělí 8. dubna se nad úzkým pruhem Spojených států, od Texasu po Maine, na pár minut zatmí Slunce. Dávné úzkosti se vyvalily v podobě záplavy konspirací, které bez problémů nabalily další spuštění LHC v CERNu, blouznění okultisty horolezce a jednu skulpturu, darovanou s dobrým úmyslem. http://www.osel.cz/13425-anatomie-nesmyslu-zatmeni-slunce-cern-anglicky-antikrist-a-darek-z-indie.html

How astronomers broke the speed of sound to see a total solar eclipse for 74 minutes

Total solar eclipses are a mind-expanding demonstration of “the right place at the right time”—and for centuries, scientists and enthusiasts have voyaged to get there in the hopes that they might catch a glimpse of the sun’s corona, probe the solar wind, test theories like relativity, and simply experience the sublime wonder and dread that comes with being part of a rare cosmic alignment.

How manufacturing is discovering new virtuous circles as it moves toward a more circular economy

Simple economics have been pushing manufacturers to find less energy-intensive ways to make things, and companies that make the machinery to power a greener economy are benefiting too. “You go where the dollars go,” sums up Elfrun von Koeller, an analyst with Boston Consulting Group. “Trillions of dollars of value creation will move into renewable spaces.”

A local paper went bankrupt. Now a far-away buyer wants its assets

For 155 years, the Santa Barbara News-Press and its predecessors played a fundamental role in the California coastal city as its primary broadsheet newspaper. The paper’s historic legacy is messy, especially in the modern era.

But even a complicated legacy, marked by years of decline, deserves better than fears that it could live a second life as a “zombie website,” a type of news site infamous for replacing high-quality archives with low-quality or even AI-generated
