The animation shows a triangular pendulum in a regular pentagon. The red angles are equal. What is the maximum ratio of the blue to yellow areas?

Hello, I'm Shrijith Venkatramana. I'm building git-lrc, an AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. Star Us to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback for improving the product. Machine learning engineers spend countless hours optimizing models, tweaking architectures, and squeezing performance out of hardware. Yet many developers who train large models today h…

A hobby project on the side. I bought a Mavic Pro Gen1 shell and its GL200A remote for a few euros, sold as non-functional. Rather than just repairing them, I wanted to understand how they talk to each other . This is my logbook — and I want to be upfront that I'm a beginner at reverse engineering, standing on the shoulders of a community that did the hard work. First: is this legal? It's the que…

White Scottish man, 38, charged after five men were injured in spate of attacks in city on Friday night Witnesses to the alleged knife attacks on Muslims and others in Edinburgh on Friday have described seeing a taxi and an Uber bike courier being targeted in Leith. The attacks, suspected of being directed against Muslims and people of colour, began near a mosque in the west of Edinburgh, followe…

React state management has a well-worn path: pick a library (Redux, Zustand, Jotai, MobX), define your store shape, write actions and reducers, connect components, wire up side effects. It works. But for data that lives on the client — form state, cached API responses, user preferences — there's a simpler approach. What if your database was the source of truth and your UI just reacted to changes?…

Rocketing violence and an economic chokehold have been overshadowed by conflict elsewhere, but the UK and others must stop looking away The “ceasefire” in Gaza is a “cruel and deadly illusion”, warned James Elder, the Unicef spokesman, on Friday. Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians since its declaration in October, says the Gaza health ministry, including 265 children – an ave…

The UN is set to review the legal status of nicotine. An outright ban would go too far, but there is no case for its easy availability The health case for banning cigarettes is ironclad. As the then head of the World Health Organization, Gro Harlem Brundtland, put it in 2000, “a cigarette is the only consumer product which when used as directed kills its consumer”. Smoking is still the leading ca…

Problem Statement Given: Positions of stalls k cows Place the cows in stalls such that: Minimum distance between any two cows is maximized. Return the maximum possible minimum distance. Brute Force Intuition In an interview, you can explain it like this: We can try every possible distance from 1 up to the maximum distance between stalls. For each distance, check whether all cows can be placed whi…

In this episode of The Root Cause , Priyank Upadhyay sits down with Randy Bias to talk about the part of the AI revolution almost everyone is ignoring. Randy is VP of Technology and Strategy at Mirantis. He co-authored the " Pets vs Cattle " model that shaped how a generation thinks about infrastructure, served as an inaugural board director of the OpenStack Foundation, and founded Cloud Scaling,…

geeksforgeeks.org Problem Statement Given: books[i] = pages in ith book m students Allocate books such that: Every student gets at least one book. Books are allocated contiguously. Every book is assigned. Minimize: Maximum pages assigned to any student Return the minimum possible value. Brute Force Intuition In an interview, you can explain it like this: Try every possible maximum page limit and …

Problem Statement Given two sorted arrays arr1[] and arr2[] and an integer k , return the kth smallest element from the combined sorted array. Brute Force Intuition In an interview, you can explain it like this: Since both arrays are sorted, we can merge them similar to Merge Sort. While merging, keep counting elements. The moment we reach the kth element, return it. Complexity Time Complexity: O…

Problem Statement Given two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 , return the median of the two sorted arrays. The overall run time complexity should be: O(log(min(N,M))) Brute Force Intuition In an interview, you can explain it like this: Since both arrays are sorted, we can merge them into a single sorted array and then directly compute the median from the merged array. Complexity Time Complexity: O(N…

More bad air is expected around the Boyle Heights warehouses that has been burning since Wednesday.

Americans are far more likely to engage on climate change when they believe governments can deliver meaningful results.

Screenings can find treatable conditions before they’ve caused too much damage – but ‘overscreening’ can cause harm I couldn’t help but roll my eyes when tech entrepreneur and longevity influencer Bryan Johnson posted about his girlfriend’s “vaginal microbiome report” in April. (He said it was in the “top 1% of vaginas”.) While the vaginal microbiome is genuinely interesting, most clinicians don’…

Researchers tracked over 300 young adults for a month to see how depression symptoms interact. They discovered that specific feelings, like anhedonia and sadness, act as central hubs that are strongly linked to a wider array of mental and physical symptoms.

Let $f(z)$ be an entire function of exponential type $1$, and let $s,t>0$, $s+t=1$. Can we always find entire functions $g,h$ of exponential types $s,t$ such that $f=gh$ ?

Originally published on Mohamad Alsabbagh's Blog . AI coding assistants are excellent at compressing known work into fast drafts. That speed is the preface boost : routine implementation arrives almost immediately. The hidden risk is that teams begin treating the model's first plausible answer as architecture. Because LLMs are trained and aligned around historically common patterns, they can pull…
