Morphing 3D-printed structures from flat to curved—in space
Because it's costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor, Jeff Baur, at The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, developed a creative and efficient energy-saving method to morph 2D structures into curved 3D structures while in space.

The ups and downs of space research
Microgravity experienced during spaceflight poses potential health risks to astronauts' cardiovascular systems. Determining how to mitigate these health risks is challenging, as countermeasures are tested in Earth's gravity. But what if there was a way to perform research in microgravity, without leaving the atmosphere?

Colonial nations didn't stop colonialism because they became moral. They stopped because it was untenable. The advancement of asymmetric warfare made it impossible to maintain colonial holdings and those empires crumbled.
The answer was neoliberalism and soft power. Trump had annihilated the financial systems that held that fragile order in place.
#Venezuela will probably end up trying to teach Trump the lesson everyone else learned in the 20th century, but since he's incapable of learning it may very well teach him the lesson Afghanistan taught the USSR.
We'll see how it goes.
It's still possible that we could end up with the US interfering so much that the only people left able to defend space are anarchists. South and Central America actually has some really interesting and advanced anarchist tendencies, so fucking with that could absolutely blow up in Trump (and every other authoritarian's) face.
I hope that the Venezuelan people can take advantage of the situation to get rid of both a shitty dictator and the shitty colonizers who want to replace him.

STM32MP2 PCIe bringup update: the PCIe IP has 4 MB of address space allocated to it, but touching anything past the first 2 MB seems to hang.
When I dump any of the register blocks in the first 2 MB, they all report the same Synopsys : 0550 device ID.
All of the registers are the same in each of the mirrors, with the exception of 8 bytes starting at 0x174 and 4 bytes starting at 0x728.
Somehow there has to be a way to see devices behind the root complex.

Gas stoves are filling millions of homes with hidden toxic air
Stanford researchers found that gas stoves expose Americans to surprisingly high levels of nitrogen dioxide—often matching or exceeding outdoor pollution.

Cleaner cooking technologies could substantially reduce the risks.
