This Bizarre Fish Has 8 Rows of Forehead Teeth It Uses During Sex

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-09 15:55:29

Spotted ratfish are scaleless, rabbit-faced deep-sea fish, about two feet (61 centimeters) long, and native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean. As if that wasn’t a strange enough description, these distant shark cousins also feature teeth on their foreheads. While a number of marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and whale sharks, have external tooth-like structures called denticles, it turns out the spotted ratfish’s toothy features are straight-up true teeth, as true as the ones in your mouth.

The Evolution of Shaders

computer.org Joshua Roller 2025-10-10 11:40:22

Nvidia launched the first GPU in 1999 with the GeForce 256, pioneering hardware T&L. In 2001, the GeForce 3 introduced programmable shaders, marking the shader era. Over 24 years, GPUs advanced massively, from 57 million transistors in NV20 to 92 billion in Blackwell (B100). Shader counts exploded—from 16 in 2007 to over 21,000 in 2025. Unified shaders appeared in 2007, and AI-focused Tensor Cores began in 2017. Despite huge performance gains, GPU prices rose modestly: a high-end card cost $800

Last week, I wrote about how Joshua Aaron's ICEBlock app, which allows people to anonymously report ICE sightings within a 5-mile radius, is – unfortunately, and despite apparent good intentions – activism theater. This was based on Joshua's talk at HOPE where he made it clear that he isn't taking the advice of local community groups, that ICE sightings aren't verified in any way, and that he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to security and privacy.

‘Sherlock Holmes’ May Get the Animated Treatment From a ‘Shrek’ Producer

Here’s a duo you don’t expect: Sherlock Holmes and Shrek. There won’t be any content crossover if a new animated Sherlock Holmes series—tentatively titled Animated Sherlock—gets off the ground, but the shared behind-the-scenes interests are there. Also of note, the series wouldn’t adapt the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle source material but rather a novel series that puts a more risque twist on his classic tales.

How many dimensions is this?

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been posting about seemingly simple mathematical problems that defy intuition, and where the answers we find on the internet turn out to be shallow or hard to parse. For a taste, you might enjoy the articles on Gödel’s beavers or on infinite decimals. Today, let’s continue by asking a simple question: how many dimensions does a line have? A trained mathematician might blurt out an answer involving vector spaces or open set coverings, but there’s no fun in that.

What to do with an old iPad

I recently inherited my parents’ old iPad 2. It had iOS 9 on it and was barely usable, in part due to how slow it was but mostly because of old SSL certificates and apps stopping support. But I wanted to give it some life because I hate to see a working machine go to waste. So I asked around and got a great answer: The iPad 2 can be downgraded to iOS 6.1.3 or 8.4.1. Both offer better performance than iOS 9 and have untethered jailbreaks. Once downgraded and jailbroken you can sideload hours and
