Scientists Working on "Smart Dust" That Can Spy on a Room While Drifting Throught the Air

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-01 13:00:57

In his 1963 scifi story "The Invincible," the Polish writer Stanisław Lem imagined an artificial species of free-floating nanobots which roamed the atmosphere of a far-off planet. Like tiny bugs, the microscopic beings were powerless alone, but together they could form cooperative swarms to gather energy, reproduce, and ultimately defend their territory from predators with deadly force. Unlike the story’s human protagonists, the "black cloud" of bots was incapable of reasoning beyond the simple

We Finally Know What ‘Star Wars’ Is Doing in ‘Destiny 2’

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-09 17:30:54

Back in May, Bungie teased some kind of pseudo-crossover between its shared-world shooter Destiny 2 and Star Wars. Not another skin pack like before, but a full-on expansion subtitled Renegades that would see Guardians explore a sandy planet and wield a laser sword. In a new livestream, the developer pulled back the curtain on Renegades, which was made in collaboration with Lucasfilm. Guardians will explore the Lawless Frontier of Mars, Europa, and Venus and meet the Jedi-like Praxis Order to f

Video player looks like a 1-inch TV from the ’60s and is wondrous, pointless fun

If a family of anthropomorphic mice were to meet around a TV, I imagine they'd gather around something like TinyCircuits’ TinyTV 2. The gadget sits on four slender, angled legs with its dials and classic, brown shell beckoning viewers toward its warm, bright stories. The TinyTV’s screen is only 1.14 inches diagonally, but the device exudes vintage energy.

Scientists are building cyborg jellyfish to explore ocean depths

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-06 04:03:08

Climate change is warming ocean waters, making the environment more acidic thanks to the absorption of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere. This endangers various marine species, and monitoring those changes is vitally important. But it can be challenging to reach the deepest waters without the aid of very expensive equipment. Moon jellyfish can swim to those depths, however, making them a potential ally in the quest to study the deep ocean. That's why researchers at the University of Colorado

A Lisp in 99LOC

Lisp in 99 lines of C and how to write one yourself In honor of the contributions made by Church and McCarthy, I wrote this project and the accompanying article to show how anyone can write a tiny Lisp interpreter in a few lines of C or in any "C-like" programming language for that matter. I attempted to preserve the original meaning and flavor of Lisp as much as possible. As a result, the C code in this project is strongly Lisp-like in compact form.

Tinyio: A tiny (~200 line) event loop for Python

tinyio A tiny (~200 lines) event loop for Python Ever used asyncio and wished you hadn't? tinyio is a dead-simple event loop for Python, born out of my frustration with trying to get robust error handling with asyncio . (I'm not the only one running into its sharp corners: link1, link2.) This is an alternative for the simple use-cases, where you just need an event loop, and want to crash the whole thing if anything goes wrong.

Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-10 03:08:24

tl;dr: it depends. About one year ago, I bought an Intel N100 mini PC (specifically the GMKtec N100 NucBox G3) and compared it to the Raspberry Pi 5 8GB. A year later, and we have a newer $159 16GB version of that mini PC with a slightly-faster Intel N150, and a new 16GB Raspberry Pi 5. I re-ran all my benchmarks, and this time compared like-for-like, installing Linux on the Mini PC. Many people argued comparing the OOTB experience running Windows 11 Pro (which came on the Tiny PC) to Raspber
