If you have a new-ish Mac mini that has recently conked out, you are not alone. Apple has just launched a worldwide service program for the 2023 Mac mini with M2 chips, because "a very small percentage" of them are having power issues and may no longer turn on. The company didn't say what was causing those power issues. While Mac minis powered by M2 chips were first released in 2023, the affected units were made between June 16, 2024 to November 23, 2024.

Writing a Truth Oracle in Lisp

This post assumes some familiarity with typed functional programming, Lisp, and formal logic. Today we will attempt to write a truth oracle in Lisp. By "truth oracle," I mean a program that can determine whether arbitrary mathematical statements are true or false. This might sound impossible, due to first-order logic being undecidable, but let's try anyway. Before that, though, we need to go over some required concepts.

SIMD-friendly algorithms for substring searching (2018)

Introduction Popular programming languages provide methods or functions which locate a substring in a given string. In C it is the function strstr , the C++ class std::string has the method find , Python's string has methods pos and index , and so on, so forth. All these APIs were designed for one-shot searches. During past decades several algorithms to solve this problem were designed, an excellent page by Christian Charras and Thierry Lecroq lists most of them (if not all). Basically these al

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-19 19:00:29

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago. But how did they get there?
