Delta resumes direct Hong Kong-US flights despite higher fuel costs
United States carrier Delta Air Lines has resumed direct flights to the city after the pandemic, launching a daily Hong Kong-Los Angeles service amid surging fuel prices. Jeff Moomaw, the airline’s vice-president for Asia-Pacific, said on Monday that it would take some time to increase services connecting the city to more destinations as the carrier remained focused on current demand. “Our focus right now is making sure that this flight is a success,” Moomaw said.
Golden Knights defenseman hospitalized after taking 87 mph shot to face in horrifying scene
A terrifying scene briefly interrupted Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final Thursday night, as a player took a shot directly to the face, resulting in hospitalization. Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb skated off the ice, covering his face after being in the direct line of an 87 mph shot. A slap shot from Carolina’s Nikolaj Ehlers hit McNabb square in the face just past the midway point of the first period.
Revisiting Articulated Parts Perception in Robot Manipulation
arXiv:2606.08103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We are surrounded by various objects with movable, articulated parts, e.g., box, handle, door. An accurate and generalizable perception of articulated parts is essential to enhance robotic manipulation capabilities. Building on this need, recent efforts in articulated parts perception have followed two main directions: One line of work uses pose-based representation, which requires high manual cost; in parallel, affordance-based methods extract...
Ahoy, DECmate II the little PDP-8 that could
Now, that's a lot of word processing. But under the hood it's still at least PDP-8 adjacent, even considering its oddities and incompatibilities, and you can make it do many of the things a full-size Eight can. We'll take this basic unit, convert the floppy drives to solid state, tap the video output, and put it through its paces.
Grep this: Microsoft grafts (most) Linux commands onto Windows
Steve Ballmer’s darkest fear has come to pass: Linux has worked itself into the deepest innards of Microsoft Windows itself. At the company’s annual Build developer conference this week, Microsoft released coreutils, a Rust-built multi-call binary file for Windows that serves over 75 Unix commands directly in the Windows CMD and PowerShell command lines – including favorites such as cat, ls, grep, and head. They join Linux favorites curl and sudo which were earlier added to the Microsoft...
On the complexity of computing Strahler numbers
arXiv:2512.19060v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: It is shown that the problem of computing the Strahler number of a binary tree given as a term is complete for the circuit complexity class uniform $\mathsf{NC}^1$. For several variants, where the binary tree is given by a pointer structure or in a succinct form by a directed acyclic graph or a tree straight-line program, the complexity of computing the Strahler number is determined as well. We show that the problem of deciding whether a...
Influence of anisotropy on the expansion performance of auxetic skin meshing geometries: a finite element study
new Abstract: This study investigates the combined effects of anisotropy and auxetic mesh geometry on the performance of skin graft expansion. Finite element models of auxetic slit-based geometries were developed and subjected to 25 percent tensile strain. Skin was modelled using an anisotropic constitutive formulation.
Kerr-induced In-line Interferometry for Ultra-sensitive Phase-Contrast Imaging
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Measuring the phase of light is fundamental to optical imaging, sensing, and signal processing applications. Conventional optical phase measurements rely on multipath configurations, bulky interferometric setups, and computationally intensive data pipelines, limiting scalability, robustness, and practicality. We introduce a technique that allows for reference-free in-line phase retrieval of abrupt phase transitions in optical pulses directly from spectral...
Residents say Brisbane's new outer city estates missing crucial service
Residents of new outer-city developments make plea for better public transport in south-east Queensland Thu 11 Jun 2026 at 5:38am Hundreds of thousands of new homes are currently being built in priority development areas across south-east Queensland, but residents say there is one crucial thing missing in these outer suburbs: adequate public transport. Disability pensioner Maria Feige lives on the outskirts of Logan at Flagstone, soon to be home to 50,000 new dwellings and 138,000 people....
Heathrow trains live: Elizabeth Line suspended as no services running to airport
Heathrow trains live: Elizabeth Line suspended as no services running to airport The Elizabeth Line and Heathrow Express are suspended while the Piccadilly Line is also closed There are no trains going in and out of Heathrow Airport after flooding and a major signal fault. Passengers are asked to allow extra time and replacement bus services have been laid on. Heathrow Express, which normally runs from Paddington to the airport every 15 minutes, is closed in both directions due to a fault...
