High-speed imaging and AI help us understand how insect wings work

Too many muscles working too fast had made understanding insect flight challenging.

@arstechnica I thought Apple's Magic Mouse needing to be upside-down to charge was the worst mouse design possible, but I hadn't considered adding spinning blades to enforce proper grip as a feature.

@arstechnica WOW! I actually agree with a Ted Cruz comment!?? How strange.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he voted against the reauthorization "because it failed to include the most important requirement to protect Americans' civil rights: that law enforcement get a warrant before targeting a US citizen."

With 16GB of RAM, there's lot of room for Google's AI models to live in memory.

@arstechnica I think the design looks cool, I will see whether or not it is worth an upgrade. I am running out of storage space. I hope for the use of the ARM Immortalis G720 along with Arm Cortex a520, a720 and X4 cores.

After 48 years, Zilog is killing the classic standalone Z80 microprocessor chip

Z80 powered Game Boy, ZX Spectrum, Pac-Man, and a 1970s PC standard based on CP/M.

JoeBecomeTheSun ,

@arstechnica Remember that the Zilog ez80 is also an 8 bit chip with 16 megabytes of address space and a clock speed of up to 50 megahertz, although because of its triple pipeline the programmer can take advantage of up to 150 megahertz of logical clockspeed if you use SRAM running at 50 megahertz.

TikTok ready to “move to the courts” to prevent ban in US

Company points out that proposed ban would run afoul of the First Amendment.

@arstechnica Not that I’m for the ban or anything, but as the rest of the world loves to remind Americans.

The Constitution does not apply to anyone outside the U.S., the presumption that the first amendment applies here (a foreign owned entity) is ridiculous.
