The EcoFlow Wave 3 is not for the weak. I mean that literally, as it weighs nearly 56 pounds when attached to its 22-pound lithium battery. At 6,100 BTU cooling capacity, the Wave 3 is designed for a car, RV, tent, boat, or any space that might be either temporary or off the grid. The Wave 3 also has a slightly higher 6,800 BTU heat mode. I have a van and and a dog, so for me, the Wave 3 offers a specific type of assurance on hot or cold days.

What It's Like to Work at a Body Farm

wired.com Jess Thomson 2025-11-01 02:00:00

Somewhere out in the countryside, hidden behind a copse of trees, are fields full of dead human bodies. These corpses have been strategically laid out in rows, naked as the day they were born, and left to the mercy of the elements until all that’s left of them are bones. It sounds like a scene out of a horror film, but these places are real. They’re called taphonomic research facilities, or sometimes “body farms”—sites where forensic scientists study how the human body decomposes. (Don’t worry,

Physics of badminton's new killer spin serve

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-01 15:11:00

Serious badminton players are constantly exploring different techniques to give them an edge over opponents. One of the latest innovations is the spin serve, a devastatingly effective method in which a player adds a pre-spin just before the racket contacts the shuttlecock (aka the birdie). It's so effective—some have called it "impossible to return"—that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned the spin serve in 2023, at least until after the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.

How can AI ID a cat?

Look at a picture of a cat, and you’ll instantly recognize it as a cat. But try to program a computer to recognize cat photos, and you’ll quickly realize that it’s far from straightforward. You’d need to write code to pinpoint the quintessential quality shared by countless cats in photos with distinctive backgrounds and taken from different camera angles. Where would you even begin?

Ecosia has offered to take ‘stewardship’ of Chrome. And it’s not a bad idea.

“It’s not absurd, right?” Christian Kroll, CEO of Berlin-based nonprofit search engine Ecosia, says of his company’s unsolicited request to be granted a 10-year “stewardship” of Google’s Chrome browser, instead of forcing Google to sell it to a competitor. His idea is most definitely absurd, but also clever. On Thursday, Ecosia announced it had sent a proposal regarding Chrome to Google and to U.S. Judge Amit Mehta.
