  2. US-Militär testet Quantensensoren für Flugnavigation ohne GPS über Pazifik

    Die DIU hat das MagNav-System von Honeywell Aerospace bei einem Testflug über dem Pazifik erprobt. Das Navigationssystem kommt gänzlich ohne GPS aus.

  3. The Russian navigation app 2GIS shows an ad for a place... in a completely different location. You’d think this “8 Марта” place is right here, but it’s actually on the opposite side of the city. What you see is just a banner ad.

  13. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧠🐝 A University of #Colorado #Boulder team studied how #turbulence transforms odor signals as they travel.

    Using #wind tunnels, #lasers, and real-world plume measurements, they identified three ways airflow filters, spreads, and generates odor frequencies. They argue these systematic changes encode distance and direction information #animals use for olfactory #navigation.

  14. 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…”

  15. 🚀👾 Behold, a mind-numbing attempt to compress the universe of #PyTorch into a single page of #dense gibberish. With more #metaphors than meaningful #content, you're left wondering if this article is a #tutorial or a cryptic treasure map. Good luck picking a door, because you'll need more than breadcrumbs to navigate this maze. 😂🔍

  18. Mir ist heute in Antwerpen was krasses passiert: mein #enyaq hatte plötzlich kein korrektes GPS-Signal mehr. CarPlay -Apps (Google Maps, ABRP) drehten komplett frei, auf der Stadtautobahn erkannte das Auto 30er-Zonen und Kreuzungen.

    Das war eigentlich nicht mehr navigierbar. Ich bin dann komplett „manuell“ gefahren.

    Nach 50 km war alles wieder „normal“.

    Wenn mal irgendwer einiger der GPS-Satelliten beschädigt: wir sind am Arsch.

  20. Hype for the Future 214A: Chicago Communities

    Introduction Chicago is a notable major city representative of the Midwestern region of the United States along the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan at the nearest point of the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River watershed in the northeastern portion of the State of Illinois. While the city is considered the third-largest in the United States (after New York and Los Angeles), Cook County, where the city is primarily located, is the second-largest in terms of population (after only Los […]

    Bei der Erstellung eines Templates ist uns aufgefallen, dass ein Footer nicht wie vermutet direkt in das Template durch Auswahl einer Vorlage möglich ist. Das ist ein wenig verwirrend. Um ein Template-Teil (template-part) einzufügen, gibt es mehrere Möglichkeiten, die ich nachfolgend zeige.

    “On 13 December, the rare alignment of true north, magnetic north and grid north - known as the three norths - leaves England at Berwick-upon-Tweed, bringing a remarkable three-year chapter to a close.
    Magnetic north is monitored using geomagnetic data from the British Geological Survey, combined with Ordnance Survey’s National Grid to track how this alignment shifts over time..."

  23. Weekly output: Google’s live lane guidance, Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoils

    LISBON–I traveled here to speak at my ninth Web Summit conference in Europe via another EU city that I’m quite fond of, Barcelona. The Mozilla Foundation had the good taste to host its Mozilla Festival there and then provide me with a travel stipend to cover the event, so of course I was willing to start my Web Summit trip a few days early. Even though that left me little time at home between working a 15-hour day Tuesday as an election officer and then heading to Dulles Airport Wednesday afternoon.

    11/4/2025: Safe to Go? Google Maps Adds ‘Live Lane Guidance’ for Polestar 4 EVs, PCMag

    PCMag had two stories under my byline this week, and this was the one I actually wrote this week to cover an update to the built-in Google navigation in one of Polestar’s battery-electric vehicles. The other involved my editor updating a post I wrote in May about President Trump withdrawing his nomination of private astronaut and payments billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator, the new plot twist being that Trump had changed his mind again and had re-nominated Isaacman. I realize how confusing that last sentence can look. 

    11/7/2025: This battery-electric hydrofoil could supercharge a ferry transformation, Fast Company

    Two years after getting an introduction to the Swedish startup Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoil sport boats on the San Francisco Bay, I enjoyed an update of the experience on waters I know much better–the Potomac and the Anacostia. With a longer word count than I had for that PCMag report in the summer of 2023, I went into much more detail about Candela’s ambitions to get into the passenger-ferry business, its likely competition in that market, and potential obstacles to electrifying ferries.
