Surprise! Random Cans of Celsius Energy Drink Actually Contain Vodka After Factory Accident, Company Admits

This is quite the mixup. Bottlenecked The next time you need an energy boost, you might end up getting tipsy instead. In a recall notice that's both bizarre and unintentionally comical, the Food and Drug Administration is warning that some 12-packs of High Noon vodka seltzer may contain mislabeled cans of Celsius — a non-alcoholic energy drink that's popular everywhere these days, but perhaps particularly on Capitol Hill — which are, in a convoluted twist, actually full of High Noon, complete

Caches: LRU vs. Random

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 05:45:02

Once upon a time, my computer architecture professor mentioned that using a random eviction policy for caches really isn't so bad. That random eviction isn't bad can be surprising — if your cache fills up and you have to get rid of something, choosing the least recently used (LRU) is an obvious choice, since you're more likely to use something if you've used it recently. If you have a tight loop, LRU is going to be perfect as long as the loop fits in cache, but it's going to cause a miss every t

Ferroelectric Helps Break Transistor Limits

news.ycombinator.com Katherine Bourzac 2025-12-17 09:39:50

Integrating an electronic material that exhibits a strange property called negative capacitance can help high-power gallium nitride transistors break through a performance barrier, say scientists in California. Research published in Science suggests that negative capacitance helps sidestep a physical limit that typically enforces trade-offs between how well a transistor performs in the “on” state versus how well it does in the “off” state.

Gear News of the Week: Insta360 Debuts a Drone Company, and DJI Surprises With an 8K 360 Camera

The 360 camera company Insta360 has entered the drone market with a spin-off brand called Antigravity. This new company hasn't released a drone yet, but it's coming soon and will likely have a slightly different take from current market leaders like DJI. Antigravity's drone is expected to feature 360 cameras with 8K resolution. It will also fall under the 250-gram weight limit, meaning it won't require a license.
