📰 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...

🪐 In the constellation Hydra, astronomers have found R Hydrae, a star that pulses in brightness over a period of about 385 days. This "Mira variable" expands and contracts like a cosmic heartbeat, changing size and light output as it nears the end of its life, giving scientists clues about the future fate of our own Sun. ✨

🪐 In the constellation Vela, the star system HD 74423 displays an unusual cosmic phenomenon: its shape is teardrop-like rather than round, caused by the powerful gravitational pull of a nearby red dwarf companion. This distortion leads to "heartbeat" pulsations—brightenings and dimmings in rhythm with the stars’ orbits—making HD 74423 the first known one-sided pulsating star in our galaxy. ✨
