Faster practical modular inversion
Last year, Lemire wrote about an optimized variation of the Euclidean algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor of two numbers, called binary Euclidean algorithm or Stein’s algorithm. It’s a best-of-class implementation, though it’s currently only used by libc++. The post also briefly mentions the extended Euclidean algorithm, a related algorithm most often used to compute the modular multiplicative inverse (given a remainder a and a modulus m , find x such that a ⋅ x mod m = …

"World warming faster than forecast as pollution cuts remove hidden cooling effect"
#Pollution #Climate #ClimateChange

We’ve ‘seriously underestimated’ how fast Earth is warming. Here’s why
Experts have sounded the climate alarm after discovering that global temperatures are accelerating faster than predicted.

The Hidden Backdoor to 200 Airports: A Supply Chain Failure in Aviation
A single leaked credential from a fourth-party vendor recently exposed the digital infrastructure of 200 global airports. This security failure highlights how a lack of Multi-Factor Authentication can jeopardize critical systems, including baggage reconciliation and passenger kiosks. Discover how SVigil identified this backdoor before it cost the industry billions.

Can anybody please calculate for me the time #dilation numbers related to how much faster someone at the equator is moving compared to someone at, say, either of the poles? Or anywhere in between, really. Ideally, a simple formula that correlates degrees of latitude with speed of revolution would be great. I’m at 40°30’36”N, and 4960ft elevation. I presume elevation also factors into it.

Yet one more adverse impact of climate change:
"Greater warmth enables pests to develop faster, produce more generations each year and attack crops for longer as winters shorten. Rising temperatures are also helping pests invade places further from the equator and on higher ground that were previously too cold"
In hindsight, not surprising - but this is the first time I have seen this impact publicly discussed.

Faster zlib/DEFLATE decompression on the Apple M1 (and x86)
DEFLATE is a relatively slow compression algorithm from 1991, which (along with its wrapper format, zlib) is incredibly widely used, for example in the PNG, Zip and Gzip file formats and the HTTP, …
