🚀 Read this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: âś… **What You’ll Learn**: Scott’s foreword: Cynthia Dwork is Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science at Harvard, and a pioneer in the fields of differential privacy and algorithmic fairness. On my recent travels to the SigmaWest science camp and then STOC, there was much talk about a recent Trump administration action that would ban not only differential privacy, but essentially all modern techniques for preserving privacy in large datasets, for example in the 2030 US Census. I realize that many of us have “outrage fatigue,” but this particular outrage…

🚀 Read this must-read post from TechCrunch đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: Space đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: Militaries routinely send satellites to fly by competing vehicles and explore their capabilities, but expanding this type of reconnaissance is increasingly seen by the U.S. military as a challenge best handled by the private sector. That's why two space startups, True Anomaly and Rocket Lab, completed a rendezvous mission for the US Space Force last week that was so complex it was something out of the ordinary. Top Gun. The two competing satellites met in orbit, close enough for one to be able to take…

A New Catalog of Stellar Rotation Periods for Over a Million Stars

A New Catalog of Stellar Rotation Periods for Over a Million Stars

🔥 Discover this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: âś… **What You’ll Learn**: Stellar rotation is a crucial aspect of not only stellar evolution but also exoplanet science, and a recent study has built the largest catalog of stellar rotation periods to date. Stellar Opportunities with TESS Since its launch in 2018, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has scoured the sky, searching for the signature recurring dip in starlight caused by planetary companions. While the primary goal of TESS is to discover exoplanets, the satellite’s mapping of the entire sky has created a rich database of high-quality…

✨ Explore this awesome post from TechCrunch đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: Hardware,Venture,arizona,etched,Thiel Capital,TSMC âś… **What You’ll Learn**: Nvidia competitor Etched announced this week that TSMC manufactured its first chip earlier this year. As the four-year-old, $5 billion startup prepares to ship systems powered by this chip to customers later this summer, scaling up production could be difficult. Like other chip designers, Etched must compete for limited capacity at TSMC's factories in Taiwan. Copper Sky Capital, one of Etched's early investors, hopes the chipmaker will find a solution to its manufacturing limitations by eventually producing chips at TSMC's facility in Arizona. When…

But stock prices did not rise. They spent most of the day at below their IPO price — a lukewarm welcome. SPAC mergers are often not very popular with retail investors these days. But this failure was arguably due to IQM's admission in its prospectus that “large-scale commercial traction of quantum computing technology may never happen.” In fairness, this warning applies…

Lightning Memory-Mapped Database Manager (LMDB)

0 CommentsEntertainment
🚀 Check out this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: LMDB is a Btree-based database management library modeled loosely on the BerkeleyDB API, but much simplified. The entire database is exposed in a memory map, and all data fetches return data directly from the mapped memory, so no malloc's or memcpy's occur during data fetches. As such, the library is extremely simple because it requires no page caching layer of its own, and it is extremely high performance and memory-efficient. It is also fully transactional with full ACID semantics, and when the memory map…

Now we know how costly Big Tech's pursuit of artificial intelligence is to the environment. Both Google and Amazon released their sustainability reports this week, and the numbers aren't pretty. Every company has pledged to zero out its carbon emissions in the coming years, but artificial intelligence is making achieving these goals more difficult. Google's total carbon emissions are up 25% since last year, and…
