📰 AI Helped Uncover A "50-80x Improvement" For Linux's IO_uring
Linux block maintainer and IO_uring lead developer Jens Axboe recently was debugging some slowdowns in the AHCI/SCSI code with IO_uring usage. When turning to Claude AI to help in sorting through the issue, patches were devised that can deliver up to a "literally yield a 50-80x improvement on the io_uring side for idle systems." The code is on its way to the Linux kernel...

Eggshells add calcium carbonate to soil, helping fast-growing plants like tomatoes and peppers grow strong and reducing soil acidity. To use, dry and grind eggshells into powder, then sprinkle around plants.
Their sharp edges might keep pests like slugs and snails away, but this is not proven.

Plants make ultrasonic sounds when stressed. This happens if their stems are cut or they do not get enough water. Humans cannot hear these sounds without special microphones. Scientists have recorded them and found stressed plants make more pops and clicks than healthy ones.
The noises come from tiny air bubbles forming and collapsing inside plant tissues. Aka cavitation. It is a physical reaction, not a sign of pain like animals feel.
Some animals, like mice, bats, or insects, can hear these sounds. Machines and AI can too. By “listening” to plants, AI or bots with specialized sensors can tell when a plant is stressed or needs water. Farmers could use this to care for crops earlier, before signs appear.
