In March 2025, an anonymous buyer purchased the 1715 “Baron Knoop” Stradivarius for $23 million (U.S.), making it the most expensive violin ever sold. (The seller, the American stringed-instrument collector David L. Fulton, had purchased it for a more modest $2.75 million in 1992.) Previous record setters have included the 1721 “Lady Blunt,” which fetched $15.9 million in 2011, and the “Joachim‑Ma,” which went for $11.25 million in February 2025. All three of these models were made by Antonio S

macOS Tahoe Incompatible with Mac Studio M3 Ultra

If you have a Mac Studio M3 Ultra and want to upgrade it to run macOS 26.0 Tahoe, then I’m afraid you’re going to have wait for Apple to build a new release that will install on your Mac. I’m very grateful to Ken who has tried unsuccessfully to upgrade from 15.7 to 26.0. There are plenty of others reporting exactly the same: the upgrade goes well until towards the end, then aborts and the Mac is restarted back into 15.7. The problem seems to originate from an error in its neural engine driver.

As part of its unprovoked invasion, Russia has been firing massed waves of drones and missiles into Ukraine for years, though the tempo has been raised dramatically in recent months. Barrages of 700-plus drones now regularly attack Ukraine during overnight raids. Russia also appears to have upped the ante dramatically by sending at least 19 drones into Poland last night, some of which were shot down by NATO forces.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority AT&T takes a different approach than Verizon and T-Mobile when it comes to promotions, upgrades, and special deals. While its rivals often advertise free phones with no trade-in required, AT&T rarely offers devices entirely free up front. That can make it less appealing to switchers, but the trade-off is that existing customers typically get the same deals as new ones. The main caveat is that upgrade offers usually require a higher-end plan, whereas new cust

Hashed sorting is typically faster than hash tables Problem statement: count the unique values in a large array of mostly-unique uint64s. Two standard approaches are: Insert into a hash table and return the number of entries. Sort the array, then count positions that differ from their predecessor. Hash tables win the interview ( O ( n ) O(n) O(n) vs O ( n log ⁡ n ) O(n \log n) O(nlogn)), but sorting is typically faster in a well-tuned implementation. This problem and its variants are the inn
