Black hole merger challenges our understanding of black hole formation

Gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmic events—travel at the speed of light in every direction, eventually fading out like ripples in water. But some events are so destructive and extreme that they create disturbances in spacetime more like powerful waves than small ripples, with enough energy to reach our own detectors here on Earth.

A Mental Model for C++ Coroutine

news.ycombinator.com Lu'S Blog 2025-07-29 10:23:57

C++ coroutine is not a library that is ready to go (e.g. std::vector ). It is not even a trait (think of Rust’s Future trait) that library writers or users can implement (or the compiler generates for you in the case of Rust). C++ coroutine is a specification that defines a set of customization points that library writers implement in order to get a functional coroutine. A function supports two operations - call and return . A coroutine (in any language) is a generalization of a function. It su

It’s hunting season in orbit as Russia’s killer satellites mystify skywatchers

Russia is a waning space power, but President Vladimir Putin has made sure he still has a saber to rattle in orbit. This has become more evident in recent weeks, when we saw a pair of rocket launches carrying top-secret military payloads, the release of a mysterious object from a Russian mothership in orbit, and a sequence of complex formation-flying maneuvers with a trio of satellites nearly 400 miles up. In isolation, each of these things would catch the attention of Western analysts. Taken

A critical vulnerability allowing hackers to bypass multifactor authentication in network management devices made by Citrix has been actively exploited for more than a month, researchers said. The finding is at odds with advisories from the vendor saying there is no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation.

Inertial forces (indirect terms) in problems with a central body

news.ycombinator.com Aurélien Crida 2025-08-04 21:12:01

Gravitational systems in astrophysics often comprise a body – the primary – that far outweights the others, and which is taken as the centre of the reference frame. A fictitious acceleration, also known as the indirect term, must therefore be added to all other bodies in the system to compensate for the absence of motion of the primary. In this Research Note, we first stress that there is not one indirect term but as many indirect terms as there are bodies in the system that exert a gravitationa
