Mathematicians Startled by 17-Year-Old With Uncanny Abilities

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-08 09:05:20

A brilliant teen who honed her skills during the COVID-19 pandemic has solved one of math's most mysterious problems — and in doing so, become a rising star. As Quanta magazine reports, fledgling mathematician Hannah Cairo was just 17 when she disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a decades-old proposition — in higher math, it's common for the suggestion that something is true based on observations to become a target for challenging formalized counter-proofs — dealing with waves on surfac

In 1995, an otherwise unknown software developer released the first version of a new scripting language whose explicit aim was to make applications for this new platform called “The World Wide Web”. After starting as a small project, and thanks to the crazy dot-com years, it grew dramatically to become one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. After some stumbling first steps, it eventually got some sort of standardization in 1997, even reluctantly including some OOP feature

My parents used to give them to me as toys along with a screwdriver and an old cassette player I could take apart and try to put back together. I was three years old. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I loved the feeling of exploring the insides of a machine, trying to understand how it works. In first grade, I was introduced to MS-DOS and Logo with

There is no memory safety without thread safety

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-02 18:35:39

There is no memory safety without thread safety Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? That turns out to be harder to nail down than you may think. Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs

Written 2025-07-18 Among the 2010's cohort of programming languages, Rust is probably the most widely lauded. The main selling point of Rust is that it manages to combine speed and low-level control with a high level of bug-resistance, more commonly referred to as safety. The main innovation of Rust - really, its claim to fame - is its borrowchecker: the part of its compiler that enforces Rust's ownership rules and thereby allows Rust to achieve all the memory safety that garbage collected lan
