Why the world's militaries are scrambling to create their own Starlink

New Scientist

Why the world's militaries are scrambling to create their own Starlink The reliable internet connections provided by Starlink offer a huge advantage on the battlefield. Starlink's satellite constellation provides a reliable internet connection to almost anywhere on Earth, conferring an advantage on the modern battlefield. But it is also run by controversial billionaire Elon Musk, presenting a risk to militaries that could easily find themselves cut off. So, now countries are racing to build their own version. The Starlink network consists of almost 10,000 satellites that offer internet connections across most of the planet via small dishes on the ground.






550 pigeons rescued in North Carolina

Popular Science

The birds can make good pets, but only if taken care of properly. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Rescuers in North Carolina recently saved over 500 pigeons from a home in Greensboro. Guildford County Animal Services and two other bird rescues based in Charlotte initially believed that the call was for about 300 birds . Instead, they found about 550 pigeons inside of a shed behind the home, hidden from the street.




One Loss for All: Deep Hashing with a Single Cosine Similarity based Learning Objective

Neural Information Processing Systems

A deep hashing model typically has two main learning objectives: to make the learned binary hash codes discriminative and to minimize a quantization error. With further constraints such as bit balance and code orthogonality, it is not uncommon for existing models to employ a large number (>4) of losses.
