You've heard of "hot girl walks," but what about "Japanese walking"? It's also known as interval walking training, and The Washington Post reports that even though this technique is now going viral on TikTok, Japanese walking came about after a 2007, Japan-based study concluded that high-intensity interval walking training may help protect against age-related decreases in muscle strength and peak oxygen uptake as well as increases in blood pressure.

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-29 21:50:14

Clown in a Cornfield is a million-dollar title—so eerie, so evocative, and so perfectly descriptive of Eli Craig‘s horror movie, which hit theaters earlier this year. It’s headed to Shudder and AMC+ August 8, but even if you’ve been waiting to catch it on streaming, there’s much to scream about with its San Diego Comic-Con immersive experience. Why? Well, for one thing, it’s a haunted corn maze—and even though it’s indoors, it’s still dark and spooky as you’d expect. The queue drops you right i

Humans Counted 8,600 Earthquakes in Yellowstone. AI Says We’re Not Even Close

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-03 16:25:37

Before the advent of artificial intelligence, experts often detected earthquakes by analyzing seismic data by hand. Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have retroactively identified and assigned magnitudes to ten times as many seismic events in historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera from 2008 to 2022 as had b

Origami Space Planes Could Solve a Major Problem in Orbit

How slow motion became cinema’s dominant special effect

About 20 years ago, a neuroscientist named David Eagleman strapped a bunch of students into harnesses, hoisted them to the top of an imposing metal tower, and then, without warning, dropped them 150 feet. Though the students landed safely in nets, the experience was—by design—terrifying. Eagleton wanted to simulate the feeling of plummeting to one’s death. His goal was to figure out why survivors of near-death experiences almost always said the same thing: “It felt like the world was going in sl

Laminar Flow Airfoil

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-09 02:54:27

Laminar Flow is the smooth, uninterrupted flow of air over the contour of the wings, fuselage, or other parts of an aircraft in flight. Laminar flow is most often found at the front of a streamlined body and is an important factor in flight. If the smooth flow of air is interrupted over a wing section, turbulence is created which results in a loss of lift and a high degree of drag. An airfoil designed for minimum drag and uninterrupted flow of the boundary layer is called a laminar airfoil. The
