Top Story
- The latest US Mars mission will launch from Cape Canaveral today at around 2:45 PM EST. (Space)
The mission - dubbed ESCAPADE - involves two orbiters that will map the magnetic fields and upper atmosphere of the planet, providing data essential to human landings and settlement.
The two orbiters, named Blue and Gold respectively, were built by Rocket Labs and will be operated by the University of California. They will launch on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket - only the second flight for that design.
They'll fly out to the Earth-Sun L2 point around a million miles away to make observations there and say hello to the James Webb telescope, before heading back to Earth for a gravity slingshot this time next year and finally arriving in Mars rendezvous September of 2027.
New Glenn is designed to have a reusable booster and they'll be attempting to land it on a ship at sea, so that will also be fun to watch for.

(Tom's Hardware)

- AMD has posted patches to the GCC compiler suite to support new features in next year's Zen 6 architecture. (WCCFTech)
Nothing groundbreaking, but the new chips will add support for FP16 (16 bit floating point) and VNNI-INT8 (8 bit integer instructions aimed at neural networks) to AVX-512.
AMD introduced AVX-512 support in Zen 4 in 2022 with an implementation that performed 256 bits of calculation per cycle, and then updated it in Zen 5 last year to perform the full 512 bits in a single cycle.
With the new instructions AMD will offer the most complete implementation of AVX-512, despite the instruction set being Intel's baby.
- Intel also released GCC patches last month for its upcoming Nova Lake processors. (Hot Hardware)
Intel's recent desktop (and laptop) chips do have AVX-512 support built in - in theory - but it was never officially supported in 12th generation chips (2021) and since the 13th generation (2022) has been fused off permanently during manufacturing and cannot be used at all.
With next year's Nova Lake, so far as we can tell from the patches, there will be no support for AVX-512 at all, nor for its nominal successor, AVX10. That makes it a datacenter-only technology if you're an Intel customer, but built in to everything from handheld gaming consoles to supercomputers that use AMD hardware.

*Fly Robin Fly was written by Stephan Prager and Sylvester Levay. The original working song title was “Run Rabbit Run.”
The song topped the Billboard Hot 100, R&B and Hot Disco\Dance charts in 1975. They became the first German music group to have a number-one hit in the United States.
It also carries the distinction of topping the Billboard Hot 100 with only six words in the song.
In 1976, “Fly Robin Fly” won a Grammy Award for “Best R&B Instrumental Performance.”*
What a classic 70s look.

In 2020, Mark Riedl, a researcher at Georgia Tech, created an algorithm that generates lyrics to match the rhyme and syllable schemes of preexisting songs. The algorithm was called "Weird A.I. Yankovic" in reference to Yankovic's similar song parodies.

Pixy, I didn't do the math, but I figured your "173" was referring to an approximation of the birth of Holmes's friend Watson. Since he was a fairly young man just back from the war in Afghanistan when they met in the late 1870s or 1880 (?), I'd guess Watson had been born in the early to mid-1850s. Holmes too; they were about the same age.
Anyway! I'm up, pretty well rested (after a bit of heartburn around 1:30 am -- from Mexican food, I suspect, at a place we hadn't visited before and won't again), and having my coffee before going to work out. 72 F., high humidity but low wind. Tomorrow may be both windy and chilly, so I may take it easy. We'll see.

Oh, man. The summer of 1975. Gulf Shores, Alabama. Highway 59 runs due south and ends at the Gulf. And right there was a pinball arcade named The Hangout. I had summer jobs all over Baldwin County, but that year hadn't really lined anything up. So I was working part time at the place making change or whatever. There was this uncute stoner girl who would come in, slide coins into the jukebox and play that song constantly on a loop while she sat on the floor leaning against it. It was surreal.

details, from the linked article:
The rocket debuted with a successful test flight on Jan. 16, 2025, which sent a prototype version of Blue Origin's Blue Ring spacecraft platform to orbit.
The company failed in its attempt to land New Glenn's first stage on a ship at sea that day. It will try this landmark maneuver again on Sunday, so there will be lots of action for space fans to watch.
... New Glenn's first stage booster will hopefully land on the landing platform Jacklyn now stationed in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 miles off the Florida coast, Blue Origin officials said.

We're having our service in a few hours for R, our dear Korean War Vet. I would ask for prayers that it all go smoothly and be a blessing for those gathered , and that if it's God's will some of those who don't have a relationship with the Lord might give their hearts to Him and maybe come back to our church to a church they were baptized in as a child but haven't been back to for many years.
Thanks so much
And speaking of prayer, this is the number for the Billy Graham 24 hour prayer line. I just called them and the man I spoke to was such a blessing to me in prayer:

I honestly don't have one. My students are freshmen. I want them to get in the habit of turning in something at all. Most of them will eventually, especially when they realize that this is just their first draft.
I try not to be too harsh on grading late work. I am going to revise my attendance policy for next year, though. Too many students missing class these days.

I’m sure that will raise test scores, and generally serve them well as they go through life. I did not have the complete collapse of education on my Bingo card.
America is so screwed. I read a really interesting book about Johnny Von Neumann, and tangentially the incongruity of Hungary producing such a high percentage of physicists involved in the manhattan project. It was a confluence of many factors actually, but notable was a system of higher education for promising students. Gifted, as it were.
There is no substitute for that. This grates on American sensibilities but the leftists are destroying education wholesale. It is truly a national security issue, even if kids aren’t growing up to be physicists. Innumeracy is how we get the clowns in Congress with no clue as well.

It's just a draft and they can't be bothered to turn one in, let alone on schedule? At a minimum, 5 point reduction in the final grade, maybe more depending on the quality of the draft they submit provided they turn it in within the following week. Tone and pace needs to be set and enforced, especially because they're only freshmen.
You're way too nice. Just my opinion, YMMV.

Every deadline is negotiable. Every demand can be gotten around. The important thing is not to slavishly adhere to someone else's arbitrary deadlines, it's to learn which deadlines are truly important and which are someone else's irrelevant fantasy.
Letting students ignore deadlines for free without making them work for it robs them of learning that skill.
None of this is good. It's probably pretty accurate, though.
