The RRRA promotes study of Roman roads in the British Isles using technologies like LiDAR to reveal archaeological remains beneath vegetation.

The association publishes Itinera journal dedicated to Roman transport research and invites submissions for Volume 6 with a submission deadline of 15 November 2025.

RRRA hosts an ongoing season of online lectures and talks by experts on Roman roads, forts, surveying, and related archaeology.

Mixture of Grouped Experts (MoGE) groups experts and enforces equal activation per group to balance workload.

MoGE’s design distributes computation evenly across devices, boosting inference throughput.

Pangu Pro MoE is a 72 billion parameter MoGE model that activates 16 billion parameters per token, optimized for Ascend NPUs.

The authors rigorously derive the compressible Euler and incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations from Newton’s laws via Boltzmann’s kinetic theory.

They base their proof on a hard sphere particle system undergoing elastic collisions to connect microscopic dynamics to fluid equations.

They extend earlier work by deriving Boltzmann’s equation on two- and three-dimensional tori.

Search engines in Australia need to check the ages of users who are logged in by the end of 2025.

Users identified as under 18 will have strict safe search filters to block adult and violent content.

Age checks can use ID verification, biometric estimation, or activity-based inference systems.

Fastly acquired Glitch.com and abruptly shut it down, causing widespread 404 errors.

The shutdown destroyed a vibrant creative community centered on remixing and sharing projects.

The decision appears driven by corporate and venture capital motives rather than supporting creativity.

The author builds a code generation factory using multiple AI agents (claude code, o3, sonnet 4, sonnet 3.7) each in its own git worktree to plan, execute, verify, and improve code automatically.

The guiding principle is to fix inputs—plans, prompts, and agent configurations—rather than hand-patch outputs to ensure reliability by construction.

Daily workflow involves two steps: planning with o3 to generate detailed plans and execution with sonnet agents that write commits, verify code against plans and original requests, and feed issues back into the plan templates.

The author acquired 46 used Sun Ray thin clients for experimentation.

They installed and configured Sun Ray Server Software on OpenIndiana, an illumos distribution.

They resolved package dependency issues and applied patches for DHCP and IP configuration.

Fakespot, a fake review detection tool, permanently shut down on July 1, 2025, after nearly nine years of service.

Saoud Khalifah founded Fakespot in 2016 to use AI for spotting unreliable product reviews.

Fakespot’s analysis showed about 43% of top-selling Amazon products and 88% of clothing and jewelry reviews were unreliable.

Street trees in Las Vegas reduce nighttime air temperature by up to 1.5°C but have minimal daytime cooling due to stomatal closure and increased sensible heat flux.

Using a high-transpiration species triples evaporative cooling and achieves about 0.4°C daytime temperature reduction at the cost of three times more water use.

Tree shade intercepts solar radiation, lowering mean radiant temperature by up to 16°C and greatly improving pedestrian thermal comfort.
