Test flight using Quantum Sensor based navigation = success!
"MagNav" employs quantum sensors to detect variations in Earth’s natural magnetic field and create a "map" that aircraft can use to determine their position without depending on satellite or GPS signals.
The test = an Embraer 170 flew for 4 hours and 23 minutes over the Pacific Ocean, from Seattle to southern Alaska and back. The system improved position accuracy by 89% compared with conventional backup navigation systems. https://interestingengineering.com/military/us-military-nails-gps-free-navigation #AirFlight #AirNavigation #AirCraft #Quantum #QuantumSensors #MagneticSensor #EarthMagnetism #Navigation #MagNav #GPS #Satellite #DoD

Swiss researchers are scaling up trials of quantum navigation systems that don't rely on GPS. This breakthrough could provide dependable positioning in contested or denied environments — with implications for defense, shipping, aviation, and autonomous vehicles.

Taxi Drivers Rarely Die Of Alzheimer’s – How Complex Mental Maps And Spatial Reasoning Protect Your Brain [why knowing your way around might help you stay sharp]

“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”

…During pursuit, sweeps narrow and track a moving target; after sudden target changes, they reorient before the animal turns; during backward locomotion, they reverse; and even during #REM sleep, sweep structure is modulated.

"Pour le grand helléniste Victor Bérard, le voyage de retour à Ithaque s'inscrivait dans une géographie bien réelle. Une interprétation aujourd'hui abandonnée. Ce qui n'empêche pas les admirateurs d'Ulysse de continuer à s'embarquer pour reconstituer son périple."

Как мы мигрируем навигацию на Compose в Android-приложениях с 400+ экранами
Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Константин Дубинко, я — Android-техлид в hh.ru . Сейчас мы заканчиваем большой переезд навигации в двух Android-приложениях — для соискателей и работодателей. В этой статье я покажу, как у нас там устроена навигация, почему мы решили отказаться от Fragment-навигации и как превратили хаотичную миграцию с «островками» новой архитектуры в управляемый процесс с метриками и понятным планом работ. Заодно расскажу, какие решения сработали, какие — нет, и что я сделал бы иначе, если бы начинал заново.
