The black hole low mass X-ray binary V404 Cygni is part of a wide hierarchical triple, and formed without a kick
Evidence suggests that when compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars form, they may receive a ``natal kick,'' where the stellar remnant gains momentum. Observational evidence for neutron star kicks is substantial, yet limited for black hole natal kicks, and some proposed black hole formation scenarios result in very small kicks. Here, we report the discovery that the canonical black hole low-mass X-ray binary V404 Cygni is part of a wide hierarchical triple with a tertiary companio…

Me: Hmm, maybe I should look into Bun again and see how its Node.js compatibility is coming along.
Also me: I wonder who makes Bun…
Me, yet again: Ah, it’s a venture-capital funded startup called Oven (see what they did there?)
Finally, me: rm -rf ~/.bun
(Remember, kids: Venture capital is the fart that precedes enshittification. It’s best not to linger once you’ve caught a whiff of it.)

Self-adaptive Traffic Anomaly Detection System for IoT Smart Home Environments
With the growth of internet of things (IoT) devices, cyberattacks, such as distributed denial of service, that exploit vulnerable devices infected with malware have increased. Therefore, vendors and users must keep their device firmware updated to eliminate vulnerabilities and quickly handle unknown cyberattacks. However, it is difficult for both vendors and users to continually keep the devices safe because vendors must provide updates quickly and the users must continuously manage the conditi…

Lots of discussion on xz about paying maintainers, or even the government stepping in, and none asking, hey you, highly profitable Linux Vendor, what are *you* doing to prevent this in *your* product?
xz is not a random leaf package, it's a core OS component. The industry already pays a lot of money to Red Hat Canonical Suse AWS Azure Oracle... to ship a secure OS.
If this was Windows, MS would take the hit. PR teams would be activated. But it's Linux, so vendors can make …

Does anyone else read "VC" as "Viet Cong" rather than "venture capital" by default?
It's so much funnier to imagine techbros having secret meetings with Communist guerrillas than a bunch of investors.

When Silicon Valley venture capitalists look at ChatGPT and generative AI, they see their bank accounts becoming flush with returns from startup investments that one day will become unicorns.
When a wage-earner, including in the cognitive class, looks at AI, they fear a disappearing paycheck.
Therein lies the driving dynamic of accelerating inequality in the age of digital capitalism.
When intelligent machines displace gainful occupations and depress wages by divorcing pro…

Generative image animations are coming. This is pretty cool stuff and I can't wait to see how it's used for lossy video compression: why transmit what you can render closely enough? This should be super-additive to the concurrent research being performed on recovering from data loss (Opus 1.5 just got such a feature).

Bistatic Doppler Frequency Estimation with Asynchronous Moving Devices for Integrated Sensing and Communications
In this letter, we present for the first time a method to estimate the bistatic Doppler frequency of a target with clock asynchronous and mobile Integrated Sensing And Communication (ISAC) devices. Existing approaches have separately tackled the presence of phase offsets due to clock asynchrony or the additional Doppler shift due to device movement. However, in real ISAC scenarios, these two sources of phase nuisance are concurrently present, making the estimation of the target's Doppler freque…

Latency Reduction in Vehicular Sensing Applications by Dynamic 5G User Plane Function Allocation with Session Continuity
Vehicle automation is driving the integration of advanced sensors and new applications that demand high-quality information, such as collaborative sensing for enhanced situational awareness. In this work, we considered a vehicular sensing scenario supported by 5G communications, in which vehicle sensor data need to be sent to edge computing resources with stringent latency constraints. To ensure low latency with the resources available, we propose an optimization framework that deploys User Pla…
