Estimating π with “fake circles” using Python. This short shows how to simulate the geometry, calculate the approximation step by step, and see how accuracy improves as the model gets refined. #Python ...

A new study finds that a century-old infinite series for calculating π discovered by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan can be applied in other corners of physics. The study explained that ...

UK Home Office’s uses two algorithms for immigration purposes seemingly without sufficient safeguards to protect the right to privacy and meet data protection standards. Migrants appear to be subject ...

Landlords could no longer rely on rent-pricing software to quietly track each other’s moves and push rents higher using confidential data, under a settlement between RealPage Inc. and federal ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Qwen Code’s Qwen3-Coder model doesn’t seem as good as its benchmark scores imply, but the tools are free and the usage limits are generous. The three biggest hyperscalers in the US are AWS, Microsoft ...

Calculation of digits of Pi with high precision. Parallelized/Multi-threaded. Tested for upto 1 Billion digits. Uses Chudnovsky algorithm with Binary Splitting. Also ...

While traversing the moon’s surface after a planned launch later this year, Astrobotic’s shoebox-sized CubeRover will have some downtime: extra computing power that won’t always be in use. And thanks ...

On hackster.io, a trio of coders (Lucretia Field, Auxence Daillen, and ramon prat) have put together an interesting project they’ve called ‘Digital Poison‘, which is an attempt to influence or ‘infect ...

The record-smashing computation was enabled by a high-performance storage cluster comprising 2.2 petabytes (PB)[2] of 30.72 terabyte (TB) CM Series and 15.36 TB CD Series PCIe NVMe-based solid-state ...
