We tend to lump all mammoths together as big, hairy elephant-like beasts with enormous tusks. But there were a number of mammoth species, including less furry ones that inhabited temperate regions. And the furry ones include at least three species: the Eurasian steppe mammoth, the Arctic-specializing woolly mammoth, and the late-evolving North America-only Columbian mammoth. Because these species inhabited the Arctic, it has been remarkably easy to obtain DNA from them, providing a genetic pict

Typepad, a blogging service that launched in the same year as WordPress, has announced that it's shutting down on September 30.

Bambu Lab's Latest 3D Printer Boasts Its Largest Print Space Yet

Bambu Lab recently released the large-format H2D 3D printer. While I gave it a positive review, I did have some issues with the size. While the build area is technically a 350x320x325 millimeter space, you have to jump through several hoops to use it. That's because its dual-nozzle setup stops either nozzle from reaching the edges of the plate.

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
