gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-07-20 07:12:56

Young people appear to be increasingly vulnerable to gastrointestinal cancers, but researchers aren’t entirely sure what is driving the surge in disease. In a new study out this week, scientists led by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found that rates of early-onset GI cancers—those occurring in people younger than 50—are rising more rapidly than other types of cancer. In particular, colorectal cancer cases have significantly increased, while rates of other forms of the disease, like stomach ca

Extending That XOR Trick to Billions of Rows

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-17 19:15:41

Can we extend the XOR trick for finding one or two missing numbers in a list to finding thousands of missing IDs in a billion-row table? Yes, we can! This is possible using a data structure called an Invertible Bloom Filter (IBF) that compares two sets with space complexity based only on the size of the difference. Using a generalization of the XOR trick [1], all the values that are identical cancel out, so the size of this data structure depends only on the size of the difference. Most explan

How to fix an iPhone alarm that's not going off - and why it might be happening

In 1902, shortly before Dr. Ludovic O’Followell published the first volume of Le Corset, Dr. Phillippe Maréchal, “one of the best known ladies’ doctors in Paris”, proposed a law banning women under the age of thirty from wearing corsets — punishable by three months imprisonment — that would force corset vendors to track the name, age, and address of all customers.
