This Orange Shark Is the Result of a Rare Genetic Double Whammy

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-06 23:50:14

The depths of the Caribbean host a spectacular array of marine life—including this nurse shark featuring vivid orange scales and cloudy white eyes. Last year, anglers on a fishing trip near Costa Rica with Parisima Domus Dei, a tourist company, reeled in what looked like a giant goldfish with shark-like chompers. After snapping some photos of the creature—about 6 feet (1.8 meters)—the fishermen let it go, later describing their strange encounter to marine experts. The researchers concluded tha

What Is the Magnetic Constant, and Why Does It Matter?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-11-05 17:30:00

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to

Busy beaver hunters reach numbers that overwhelm ordinary math

But just how much harder? In 1962, the mathematician Tibor Radó invented a new way to explore this question through what he called the busy beaver game. To play, start by choosing a specific number of rules — call that number n. Your goal is to find the n-rule Turing machine that runs the longest before eventually halting. This machine is called the busy beaver, and the corresponding busy beaver number, BB(n), is the number of steps that it takes. In principle, if you want to find the busy beav

A few days ago, the creators of DuckDB wrote the article: Query Engines: Gatekeepers of the Parquet File Format, which explained how the engines that process Parquet files as SQL tables are blocking the evolution of the format. This is because those engines are not fully supporting the latest specification, and without this support, the rest of the ecosystem has no incentive to adopt it.
