Bogong Moths Are First Bugs Known to Use Stars for Long-Distance Travel

Every spring in the Southern Hemisphere, Bogong moths migrate up to 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) from southeast Australia to spend the summer in cool caves in the Australian Alps. At the beginning of the fall, they fly back to their breeding grounds and die. Each moth undertakes the two-way journey only once in its life—so how does it know where it’s going? A team led by David Dreyer, a visiting research fellow in sensory biology at Lund University, suggests that Bogong moths may use the starry

Temuera Morrison Thinks ‘Star Wars’ Isn’t Done With Boba Fett Yet

Just when The Mandalorian brought him back and teased big things for him, Boba Fett got kind of a raw deal once his own show dropped. Disney’s not given it a second season or even so much as mentioned it, to the point just last year, star Temuera Morrison was unsure about his character’s future. But maybe things are at a point to where it could be his time once more? While promoting his current film Ka Whawhai Tonu (In The Fire of War), Collider asked Morrison what the deal was. Along with goin

Rendering Crispy Text on the GPU

It’s not the first time I’ve fallen down the rabbit-hole of rendering text in real time. Every time I’ve looked into it an inkling of dissatisfaction always remained, either aliasing, large textures, slow build times, minification/magnification, smooth movement, etc. Last time I landed on a solution using Multi-Channel Signed Distance Fields (SDFs) which was working well. However there was still a few things that bothered me and I just needed a little excuse to jump back into the topic. That e

The OLED Burn-In Test: 15-Month Update

It's time for another update on OLED monitor burn-in. As you likely know, we've been aggressively burning in our 4K OLED monitor for 15 months now, so we're going to take a look and see how the display is holding up. Hopefully, there hasn't been too much degradation since the last time we checked in three months ago – we really do want this monitor to last a decent amount of time. As with the last few updates, there have been no changes in how we've been using our MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED. We're

US government’s vaccine website defaced with AI-generated content

In Brief A U.S. government website designed to inform the public about vaccines has been defaced and now hosts apparently AI-generated spam. The domain, which belongs to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), appears to have been hosting the same kind of content — mostly gay-themed and LGBTQ+ posts — since at least May 12, according to an archived version of the site. It’s unclear who is responsible for it, or what is the purpose of this defacement other than pushing AI-gener
