Watering your lawn in the summer can be both pragmatic and fun with so-called “silly sprinklers,” designed to create amusing loops and spirals of water jets. And there’s some fascinating physics at work to boot. Researchers at New York University’s Courant Institute conducted a series of experiments with different silly sprinkler designs to find the answer to a longstanding problem in fluid dynamics, according to a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. As previously reported, the reverse sprinkler problem is associated with physicist Richard Feynman because he popularized the concept, but it actually dates…
There is a depressing familiarity to the conversation among MPs about their safety.It is a topic those on all sides will regularly reflect on in private, given the day-to-day impact it has on many of them.But the latest news about counter terrorism police taking over the investigation into Ann Widdecombe’s death has brought back again, and in public, a discussion about how MPs can remain accessible and safe.There was a sombre and reflective mood in the Commons on Monday afternoon as MPs both remembered Widdecombe – so many, whether they agreed with her or not, admiring her character and conviction…

In a lawsuit filed Friday, Apple sought several injunctions blocking OpenAI from using confidential information allegedly stolen by former employees. According to Apple’s complaint, OpenAI conspired with former Apple employees as part of a grand scheme to “take an unlawful shortcut” and launch a line of AI-powered devices as marketable as Apple’s iPhone. Apple explained that it found a bug while investigating internal…

The federal government is warning users of home and small office routers to secure their devices as Russia state hackers continue to mass-compromise them for use in obscuring nefarious actions against sensitive organizations in the public and private sectors. Both the Russian and Chinese governments have been compromising routers for years, sometimes in prolonged tugs-of-war to wrest control of devices the other has already commandeered. The US government has occasionally issued covert commands and taken other steps to disinfect routers. Google and other companies have also worked to disrupt the massive botnets that control compromised routers in lockstep. The actions…
