Sexueller Missbrauch: Digitaler Raum spielt zentrale Rolle
Das BKA hat das Lagebild Sexueller Missbrauch vorgestellt. Vorratsdatenspeicherung, "Safe Spaces" und KI sollen gegen Missbrauch und Abbildungen davon helfen.

Faster Multi-Source Reachability and Approximate Distances via Shortcuts, Hopsets and Matrix Multiplication
Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge digraph $G = (V,E)$ and a subset $S \subseteq V$ of $|S| = n^σ$ (for some $0 \le σ\le 1$) designated sources, the $S \times V$ reachability problem is to compute the sets $\mathcal V_s$ of vertices reachable from $s$, for every $s \in S$. Naive centralized algorithms run BFS/DFS from each source in $O(m \cdot n^σ)$ time or compute $G$'s transitive closure in $\hat O(n^ω)$ time, where $ω\le 2.371552\ldots$ is the matrix multiplication exponent. Thus, t…

Bericht: Entlassungen bei "Oblivion Remastered"-Studio Virtuos
Beim Entwicklerstudio Virtuos sollen 300 Stellen gestrichen werden, berichtet ein Journalist. Betroffen ist demnach auch das Team hinter "Oblivion Remastered".

Death and Cynic were huge influences when they came out in the early 90s. Not that you'd know it as I play Dua Lipa for a living 🤣

“Chuck Schuldiner called to see if I could fill in for some Death shows in Mexico. I was still in high school, but I learned the set in a few days and jumped on”: Paul Masvidal on taking progressive extreme metal to new heights with Cynic and Death
The virtuoso took a detour from heavy music to work on TV and film scores in the ’90s. Now he’s working on new material with Cynic – and a signature guitar with Kiesel. He explains how he came to join and leave Death, and how sexuality has informed his take on metal

Effects of Dissipation Physics on High-frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillations in Black Hole X-ray Binaries
We numerically investigate the effects of black hole spin and local dissipation profiles on high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation (HFQPO) observed in black hole X-ray binaries (BHXB). Our HFQPO power spectra arise from self-consistent calculations that do not rely on ad-hoc assumptions regarding disk geometry. Our models combine radiative transfer and disk vertical structure equations with input motivated by first-principles three-dimensional simulations. We found that HFQPO power spectra m…

I wanna make some cool hardware stuff but idk what to make aaaaaaa ;-;
Ideally it should be something useful or really really cool
I have two old Arduino Unos at home, but I’d be open about getting some pipicos or esp32 or something.
Extra points if it requires some soldering to put my iron to good use :3
(tho while ordering custom PCBs is cool (feel free to send cool stuff that use them), getting them shipped here is quite expensive I think)
Any recommendations?
