Some examples of people quickly accomplishing ambitious things together. San Francisco proposed a new bus lane on Van Ness in 2001. It opened in 2022, yielding a project duration of around 7,600 days. “The project has been delayed due to an increase of wet weather since the project started,” said Paul Rose, a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency spokesperson. The project cost $346 million, i.e. $110,000 per meter. The Alaska Highway, mentioned above, constructed across remote tundra, c

Wild Video Captures Alien-Like Creatures Thriving in the Deepest Ocean Ecosystem

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-03 17:25:42

Researchers recently dove more than 6 miles beneath the surface of the northwest Pacific Ocean to explore the bottom of two submarine trenches. In this harsh marine environment, they discovered flourishing communities of chemosynthesis-based sea creatures—the deepest and most extensive ones ever found. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, July 30, include photos and footage of the alien-like organisms going about their business in two of the most unforgivin

Astonishing ‘Megaflash’ Sets World Record for Longest Lightning Strike

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-08-05 09:35:49

A lightning flash tore across the sky above the Great Plains, stretching across a staggering 515 miles (829 kilometers) from eastern Texas to Kansas City. That “megaflash” shattered the previous record for longest lightning flash of 477 miles (768 kilometers), set in 2023. An international team of researchers documented the record-breaking flash in a new report in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. Scientists were able to capture the flash thanks to advances in satellite techn

Archaeologists Unearth 6-Foot-Tall Bronze Age Warrior Clutching a Spear

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-08-13 13:10:52

In a massive burial mound in the plains of western Azerbaijan, archaeologists discovered the remains of an ancient, towering warrior still clutching a four-pronged spearhead in his hand. The man’s skeleton measures over six feet six inches (two meters) in height and dates back to the Middle Bronze Age, approximately 3,800 years ago. Scientists believe he may have been a prominent military leader, due to the way in which he was laid to rest. The discovery offers a glimpse into the social and rel

CARA – High precision robot dog using rope

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-18 13:38:20

Finding the Exact 8:1 Gear Ratio The starting point of this project was figuring out how to achieve an exact 8:1 gear ratio with the capstan drives. In my capstan drive video, I designed all the drives to have an 8:1 gear ratio—but when measured, none of them actually did. The commenters on that video pretty accurately diagnosed my mistake. I had made the outer diameter of the big drum 8 times larger than the outer diameter of the small drum, but this doesn't account for the diameter of the rop

A Lisp adventure on the calm waters of the dead C (2021)

A Lisp adventure on the calm waters of the dead C I will use a C-like language throughout, with substantial liberties in its syntax, and I will try to answer "what if" and "how" questions regarding the implementation of some new features that actually cannot be implemented in C due to its limitations. I will examine and highlight those limitations. The scope of this exercise is to better understand Lisp and the power of the abstractions it offers over and above what most languages have, even th

Trump’s Cuts Threaten Nobel-Winning Observatory That Detected Colliding Black Holes

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-22 13:55:43

Nearly 10 years ago, scientists observed ripples in spacetime created by the collision of two black holes that took place 1.3 billion years ago. The first direct detection of gravitational waves opened up an entirely new way of seeing the universe, allowing us to observe a once invisible side of the cosmos. Today, the ability to track the frequencies produced by the most notable events that shape our surrounding cosmos is at risk due to drastic budget cuts targeting a breakthrough observatory.

“Bouncing” winds damaged Houston skyscrapers in 2024

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-10 01:32:08

On May 16, 2024, a powerful derecho swept through Houston, killing seven people and causing significant damage to several of the city's towering skyscrapers. Those buildings were constructed to withstand much stronger hurricane-force winds up to 67 meters per second, as one would get with a Category 4 hurricane. The derecho's winds peaked at 40 meters per second, well below that threshold. And when Hurricane Beryl hit Houston that July with roughly comparable wind speeds of 36 meters per second,
