As Studio Ghibli turns 40, we visit the forests, springs and villages that inspired its most beloved films, and meet those preserving their magic.

Implicit ODE Solvers Are Not Universally More Robust Than Explicit ODE Solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-10-02 19:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs

Here’s How to Deflect a Dangerous Asteroid Without It Totally Backfiring

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-02 23:30:14

In September 2022, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, successfully altering the space rock’s trajectory. The orbital shove demonstrated an asteroid deflection technique that could come in handy if a massive rock were headed in Earth’s direction. As it turns out, however, deflecting a potentially threatening asteroid is only half the battle. Striking an asteroid for deflection purposes could send it back on a collision course with Earth, merely delaying the planet-shatterin
